Trump isn't going quiet on Russia. He's getting louder.

(CNN) - There was a line of thinking in Washington this week that President Donald Trump might scale back his rhetoric on the ongoing special counsel investigation into Russia, the result of a new White House chief of staff in John Kelly and a reshuffled legal team.

INCORRECT!

In a campaign-style rally in West Virginia on Thursday night, Trump not only leaned into his previous attacks on the Russia investigation but took them even a step farther.

He referred to the "totally made-up Russia story." He called it a "total fabrication." He insisted Democrats are behind the whole thing because they are looking for "an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics." He argued that "what the prosecutors should be looking at are Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails." He made the totally specious argument that no Russians were in the crowd to suggest he couldn't have won the election because of Russia. He mocked Democrats' electoral results, telling them "try winning at the voter booth."

And then, Trump said this:

"They can't beat us at the voting booths, so they're trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want. They're trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us, and most importantly, demeaning to our country and demeaning to our Constitution."

That's important. Especially this line: "They're trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want."

That would be because Russia collusion is fake news.

But you knew that, didn't you CNN?

Trump’s lawyers should go to SCOTUS and challenge Mueller’s decision to seat a Grand Jury in DC on the grounds that Trump is trying to cut the Federal budget, but nearly every resident of the region has his income tied to it.

Hence it is impossible for them to be fair and objective.

Fire Mueller. It’s legal.

Then hire a new “independent prosecutor” that seats a grand jury to investigate “democrat collusion”.

Trump knows something (obviously other than he’s innocent). This is setting Mulehead up.

Nope. McMaster has been reassigned to Afghanistan.

The hidden issue that GOPe and the Democrats are ignoring is who are our enemies, why, and where they fall on the list. Why is Russia enemy No. 1 for these people while massive human rights abuser China at the bottom?

Because Russia exports little but oil, whereas China floods our shores with cheap imported goods that enrich the ruling class. Why else would they cheer the fall of the Berlin Wall while standing idly by during Tiananmen Square?

And why isn’t the Pope somewhere on our enemies list — for supporting movement toward a world government? This would require us to gut our Constitution, something not even Putin is urging us to do. Bolton, Nikki Haley, and McCain are silent about this.
