Trumpworld to Lt Col. Vindman: Fuck You for Your Service As Rick Wilson put it so colorfully, the message yesterday to Vindman from TrumpWorld was essentially: "Fck You For Your Service." Vindman, he writes, came before the committee "carrying a powerful weapon: a reminder of the honor, modesty and integrity that have disappeared in the frothing Trumpian version of American military values." Vindman did so knowing that the Trump social media hate machine will focus on him now. The military has moved his family onto an army base for security. Twitter is flooded with threats, insults, and accusations of treason, pedophilia, and espionage. It’s the usual Trumpworld immune system response; anyone, anywhere who opposes this President is to be destroyed. We knew that was coming. It’s part of the landscape now. What even the pessimists didn’t expect was that the House minority would go as low as it did. House minority counsel Steven Castor's line of questioning was pathetic, a transparent attempt to accuse Vindman of dual loyalties that even in this low moment shocked America. His sneering insinuation that Vindman was somehow compromised by the Ukrainian government's offer of the job of Minister of Defense, an offer he declined and promptly reported, was a moment where even Republican members of the committee looked uncomfortable, and those shameless motherfuckers would watch Trump eat a live baby and laugh it off.* Castor even asked what language the offer was made in (it was English.)
