Location, Location, Location

 Okay, here's the setup:

The convicted felon and top of Epstein's List started going on about his trip to Russia at the beginning of this week. “You know, I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday. I don’t like being up here, talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once-beautiful capital was.” That last bit was yet another shot at the place where he spends his off days from the senior's gold cheaters tour. He's sending in the National Guard to correct the trajectory of Washington D.C. which has seen crime rates falling since before the pandemic. You may not remember the global pandemic. The nation's top former game show host sure doesn't. 

But let's get back to that Russia visit.

He's not going to Russia. The meeting is set in Alaska. And though certain Republican firebrands might claim to be able to see that Evil Empire from their log cabin on the Bering Strait, they are on different continents. 

Different continents. 

Yes, proximity is on his side, but since we live in a time in which it is continually difficult to discern what is stupid policy and what is just garden variety stupid, it is possible that a deal was made somewhere in the misty midst of bad decisions by the Second Trump Reich to give up our forty-ninth state in exchange for Hunter Biden's laptop. 

My main concern here is one of geography. How can we let a guy who can't distinguish Fairbanks from Moscow out to make bad deals about territory in other parts of the world? Like his AI vision of "Trump Gaza?" Or his continual ignorance of the facts surrounding the war in Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine. Why should they "swap" territory? 

Maybe these bromancers can play some golf in St. Petersburg and figure it out. The St. Petersburg in Russia, not in Florida. 

But they're not going to be in Russia.

They're going to be in Alaska. 

It's almost too stupid to be believed.
