Covfefe unleashed

Top story in my Globe and Mail today features the erstwhile Mark MacKinnon doing what he's won journalism awards for; rooting through the archives in search of a new slant on old stories. And by golly, he found a winner, at least in the eyes of his editors.

Yup, the dastardly Putin has been systematically rubbing out his critics! How do we know? Well, the "nerve-agent attack against former spy Sergei Skripal" in Britain three weeks ago has reopened the cases of 14 other "mysterious deaths" that the conspiratorially inclined would like to link to Bad Vlad.

Skripal was found semi-comatose on a park bench in England on 4th March.

The last time I was found semi-comatose on a park bench, they thankfully didn't make a big deal of it, and by the way, I really appreciate that.

Sergei Skripal had no such luck.

By 5th March highly placed British authorities were speculating for the record that the Kremlin was behind this "assassination attempt." By 6th March Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was openly calling out Putin in parliament...

Proof?

Hey, if you need proof, you're obviously a Putin stooge. Just like the year and a half long (and counting) investigation into Putin's tampering with America's "democracy," no proof is forthcoming because a) there isn't any, and b) if you think it might be a good idea to provide some, you're obviously... a Putin stooge!

Case closed!


By the way, "covfefe" is an accidental Trumpian invention that, roughly translated, means "gibberish."
