The above is pretty interesting. I talk about a number of things, specifically how much life would suck after the end of the world.

The Surreal Lev Parnas Situation

Not that it will matter in time, but we still don’t know what Trump knew about what Robert Hyde told Lev Parnas in March about his efforts to monitor the movements — and God only knows what else — of American Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch.

It doesn’t really matter the way I thought it might because she was out of the country by the time Trump told the president of Ukraine that she “was going to go through some things.” But I mean, what the fuck? She was already out of the country and he says THAT? What did he mean by that?

Barring a significant bombshell in the next few days, this is shaping up to be just another shady thing Trump has done that no one really cares about. Things are going to get very dark once he’s aquitted.

Very, very dark.

‘She’s Going To Go Through Some Things:’ What Did Trump Know & When Did He Know It About Robert Hyde’s Plans With Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch?

March 25: Robert Hyde texted Lev Parnas about all the amazing things you can do with money in Ukraine.

April 25: Marie Yovanovitch leaves Ukraine abruptly.

July 25: Trump tells the President of Ukraine she’s “bad news” and “she’s going to be going through some things.”

So, that’s it. I still think it’s weird he said that, but if she was out of the country, then, well, it’s not what I thought it was. Sorry.

(Looking at this sequence of events again, it makes no sense that Trump would say that to the president of Ukraine since she was already out of the country. Did he say it to someone before she left? I dunno.)
