Man in the Middle: Roger Stone

The dirty trickster and convicted felon has been polluting our political discourse for half a century.




SNIP
ROGER STONE is, in a word, a character.
He dresses like a DC Comics supervillain.
He has a tattoo of Richard Nixon between his shoulderblades.
He has unorthodox sexual proclivities.
He is engaging and glib when he appears on talk shows. He is a ratfucker, a master practitioner of the political dark arts:
a dirty trickster, the Loki of the right.

He will do, and has done, almost anything that pops into his twisted mind to win his candidate an election—other than, you know, endorse a non-shit candidate and run an honest campaign.
Court orders don’t silence him.
Politesse doesn’t constrain him.
Looming incarceration hasn’t slowed him down.

He is the raging id of the Republican party, and if Jerry Nadler or Richard Neal had one thimbleful of his cornered-rat quintessence, Trump would be long gone.

For almost half a century, Stone has operated in the shadows of Republican power, like Jack the Ripper.
He’s had an outsized, and adverse, impact on the history of our country.
As my friend Mr. Robinson put it:

Edward G Robinson
@Post_Truth_Era
Roger was directly involved with both stolen elections this century. Is there anyone else who can make that claim?

During his long and nasty career, he’s rubbed elbows with almost everyone. Let’s take a look at some of the more notable names:

From Jeb Stuart Magruder to Richard M Nixon, Ronald Reagan thru Julian Assange, Donald J Trump, Matt Gaetz & on to The Proud Boys & these few are just for starters.

Read thru the list at the link, to see how Roger Stone moved thru the back ally of Republican corruption like a street rat..

Roger Stone has to be one of the slickest, sleaziest characters in history.
He belongs in prison until he no longer breathes air.

And of course he's Trump's right hand guy.

Ugh.
