Wednesday, April 16, 2025

[U.S. attorney for D.C. Ed] Martin is now interim U.S. attorney for D.C. and Trump's pick to serve full time in the role. But as a conservative activist and former Missouri Republican official, he appeared more than 150 times on RT and Sputnik ...

We now know that interim U.S. attorney for D.C. Ed Martin isn't just a Trump bootlicker but a prolific useful idiot for Putin, having done 150+ hits on RT and Sputnik that he didn't disclose to the Senate until this week. We still don't know how much those Russian propagandists paid him. (gift link)

He must have run out of Fox TV Hosts.

Passed right over Hulk Hogan again, too.

More fat, oddly colored white people. Bad rug too.

Sexual offenses as 11.

@#1 ... He must have run out of Fox TV Hosts. ...

Fox News is probably scrambling to fill the gap. Where will they find another similar host for their weekend show?

OK, that aside ...

Pres Trump seems to like people who can go in front of TV cameras and present a happy face for the Trump admin.

I mean, just look at any of Dir Hassett's TV appearances.

All smiles and obligatory adulation of Pres Trump, but little substance.

Is Pres Trump finding it more difficult to find such obsequious adulators?

Republicans are too stupid to realize the connection between the jazz and the hands.

@#5 ... Republicans are too stupid to realize ...

I disagree with that "stupid" admonition.

I'd phrase it more as, "cult following."

Stated differently, there are many smart people who join cults, i.e. an illogical adoration of a god figure.

Religion, for starters.

I went to law school with Ed Martin.
He was likable enough on a personal level at the time, but putting him in this position was a very bad move.

Reminder that ------- didn't do the normal vetting for his nominees

Trump doesn't care about vetting. He knows who he wants around him.

"Before his appointment, Martin had been an active supporter of January 6 defendants as legal counsel. His foundation hosted a 2024 banquet at Trump's Bedminster golf club honoring Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, a convicted Capitol riot participant. As interim U.S. Attorney, Martin initiated an internal investigation into the use of obstruction charges in January 6 cases, characterizing their application as a "great failure."

He doesn't care. So long as he can golf and rip off the taxpayers and collect his grift from people who want things from the government. Whoever Putin wants in place doesn't bother him.

Ed Martin is an inexperienced, unqualified buffoon.
The fact that he's also an RT celebrity is just icing on the cake.

Putin's brain dead orange bitch gets clowned by Russia 150 times a week.

Paid? Paid?!? I doubt this dork ever knew about appearance fees. He saw his blathering on Trump's most watched cable channel as padding for his resume...

I agree with you, it was a stupid generalization borne of frustration, I suppose.

Whatever information they ingest it has a lot of racism, fear mongering, misinformation and treasonous overtones.

Fox is a foreign agent and still permitted to air anti-democracy views. Democrat party refuses to acknowledge Progressives.

It's still off limits for either to claim the election was hacked by Musk.

The stupid is baked-in daily.
