Where There Is Smoke There Is Fire

Pale argued that Trump is a Putin stooge; Bob admits Trump is a Russian agent; House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is on record stating that Trump is on Putin's payroll; Trump's own FBI suspects him of being a Russian asset.

After a while the old adage about ''Where there's smoke, there's fire'' comes to mind.

The House Minority leader is delusional.

How to Corner a Right Winger

How to corner a rightwinger?  Usually all it takes is to ask a single question.







 For example: What about McCarthy's admission that he believes Trump is being paid by Putin? Was he just being an idiot? Or is it true that Putin pays Trump?



No right winger will give us a straight answer because to do so would place the right in one of two bad spots.

1) Admitting the GOPPERS put an idiot in as leader of their caucus in the House; or  .  . .

2) Admitting that it's true Trump is being paid by Putin to do Russia's bidding.

Trump on Putin's Payroll

Some are wondering just how much IS the Kremlin paying Trump?



Remember: Audio tapes have surfaced -- which show Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy acknowledging their belief that Trump is on Putin's payroll.



When asked about the conversation, they DENIED it ever happened.



When told the press had seen the transcript, they STILL denied it.



When told not only had the press SEEN the transcript, it also had LISTENED to the audio recording, they THEN claimed they were only joking.

Putin Believed to Pay Trump

Trump and Rohrabacher are on Putin's payroll, according to GOP House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. From The Washington Post:

KIEV - A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress - House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy - made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.



"There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy, R-Calif., said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016 exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

It looks like GOP leadership KNEW about the hacking and also knew with WHOM the Russians were sharing the stolen emails.



McCarthy and Ryan were caught on tape DISCUSSING Russia's hacking of DNC servers. Ryan asked McCarthy to whom the Russians delivered the stolen material, and McCarthy weirdly answered, ''There's two people I think Putin pays: Rhorabacher and Trump . . . (laughter) . . . swear to God.''
