By popular demand, the audiobook version of #DirtyRubles is now available at Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

Below are some reasons why you should give it a listen.

If you would share this and help spread the word, I’d be most obliged. Spasibo!

amazon.com/Dirty-Rubles-I…
1/ Any doubt about Trump’s utter subservience to Putin was erased on Monday in Helsinki, when the former capitulated to the latter. Trump/Russia is more timely than ever. Everyone needs to be informed.

#TreasonSummit
2/ It’s cheaper than the book. And iTunes is cheaper than Amazon. $5.99? That’s what I paid for the "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" cassette at Sam Goody’s in 1983!

itunes.apple.com/us/audiobook/d…
3/ No less an authority than my mother says that I have a very lovely speaking voice.
4/ And I do voices! I do tough-guy Manafort, squeaky Don Jr., drag-queen Kellyanne, and my Trump is not really Trump but actually Colbert-doing-Trump. An impression of an impression.
5/ (Once, at a party, I was doing the “It’s, like, SO WEIRD” SNL bit, and someone said, “Are you doing Dana Carvey doing John Travolta?” And I said, “Why, yes, madam. Yes, I was.”)
6/ Audible has all these ways you can listen for free. I don’t know what they are, but they exist.
audible.com/pd/Nonfiction/…
7/ The back-end site for Audible, which is owned by Amazon, is ACX. That’s one letter off from ADX, which is short for Advanced Maximum Facility, the Florence location of which is where Trump’s minions will soon be spending all of their free time.
8/ I thank a lot of #TeamPatriot folks in the preface to the book, and it’s fun to listen to me attempt to not mispronounce everyone’s name. Have you ever said “@aliasvaughn” out loud?
9/ It’s also fun to listen to me mangle saying “vory v zakone.” My trick is to pretend I’m a Russian spy attempting to infiltrate the National Prayer Breakfast.
10/ You can listen on the beach and not hurt your eyes squinting at the sunlight on the white page of the paperback.
11/ Off topic, sort of: I’m not good at foreign languages, but if Putin is a whoremaster, that makes Donald Trump a “puta,” right? Vladimir's Puta? Am I using the word correctly?

#PutinPimp #TrumpPuta
12/ “Dirty Rubles” is actually kind of hard to say. It doesn't roll off the tongue like...like...
13/ I consumed close to a pint of rye whiskey while recording the tracks.
14/ People have nice things to say about #DirtyRubles. You can read them on the Amazon page, or on the Goodreads page, or here:
gregolear.wixsite.com/dirtyrubles
15/ At under three hours, it’s shorter than any of the LOTR movies.

Let’s talk about the House of Kavanaugh—specifically, the hefty mortgage on said house.

[THREAD]
1/ In 2006, Brett & Ashley Kavanaugh bought a house for $1.22m. They put $245k down, a number that does not appear on his financial disclosures of 2005, which show net worth of $91k.
2/ The mortgage payments ($4600/mo.) alone were more than what Brett Kavanaugh took home in 2006 after taxes. His wife did not add enough to the mix to make up the difference.

In light of the epic (in every sense of the word) NYT story on Trump's tax fraud, let's have a quick review of all the legal troubles these traitors are now in:

[THREAD]
1/ PAUL MANAFORT, Trump’s campaign chair (May-Aug 2016): found guilty on eight counts, pleaded guilty on a bunch more as part of a plea deal in which he must cooperate with Mueller. Met w/Mueller this week, in fact.
2/ MIKE FLYNN, deputy chair of Trump Transition Team, natsec adviser: pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Awaiting sentencing. Will one day get out of prison. Will always be an ugly, ugly man.

Pleased to announce a slate of #DirtyRubles Trump/Russia events, on three of the next five Sundays:
The event in Madison, my hometown, is taking place at an undisclosed secret location [insert Dick Cheney joke here]. If you'd like to come, you need to RSVP:
facebook.com/events/6757800…

cc: @reallymdp @Post_Truth_Era @CodyStumpo
The Woodstock event is at one of my favorite bookstores in all the world, The Golden Notebook @we_love_books.

Last time I was there, I bought FANTASYLAND by @KBAndersen, one of the best books I've read in recent memory.

Let's talk about the Putin/Alt-Right/GOP propaganda machine—the REAL Devil's Triangle—as it relates to Brett #Kavanaugh:

[THREAD]
1/ This cozy little messaging arrangement, which operates happily in the dark most of the time, is now being exposed because of the fatally flawed candidate Donald Trump has nominated to the Supreme Court.
2/ The problem with Kavanaugh is manifold: first, that he had six-figure credit card debts paid off by creditors whose identity we still don’t know; second, that he lied during his initial testimony...

Things might feel a bit bleak. Kavanaugh might be in, Rosenstein might be out, and both would be horrible outcomes for democracy.

So let’s put things into perspective.

[THREAD]
1/ The Kavanaugh fight is not over. Even if he gets CONFIRMED, the fight is not over. He stands credibly accused of sexual assault, and he owes lots and lots of money to…we don’t know who.

There’s also this business of HIS (maybe) stolen emails:
2/ Dr. Ford will likely appear before Congress…and the GOP may bring in outside counsel (note spelling) because THERE ARE NO WOMEN REPUBLICANS ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. This is HORRIBLE optics. It will cost them in November. Bigly.

Let’s talk about #Kavanaugh. This is why he should not be confirmed. And it has nothing to do with his political beliefs.

[THREAD]
1/ #Kavanaugh was not on the list of judges given to Trump by Judicial Watch, but he was tapped anyway. This was after Trump said he’d “study” (hahaha) judicial positions on various things—namely whether or not a POTUS can be indicted.
2/ When @ChuckGrassley says he didn't know about Christine Blasey Ford, he may well be telling the truth. The letter from those 65 women was likely produced ahead of time to defend #Kavanaugh against a DIFFERENT accuser(s) we don't yet know about.
