2022 Midterm Election Thoughts - # 4

--the menace that would be president--

(1/4/21 - after Trump’s call to the Georgia Sec’y of State)

 
Woke up today to hear Trump’s phone call to GA Sec’y State, asking him to “find 11,780 votes”…just like the mob boss he thinks he is…and everyone is sooo polite and deferential. When Trump says what they’re doing is illegal, Raffensperger should have said, “So, arrest me (you effing moron).” When Trump said, “I hear that…they say that…word is that…rumors are…”, no one says, “We don’t act on hearsay, you dolt. Just like all your failed court challenges, we need real EVIDENCE…like this phone call of yours is now evidence to charge YOU with conspiracy to commit voter fraud…you dumb-shit. Now you can add that to the list of crimes you need to pardon yourself for.”

Today, the press is still abuzz over the FBI ‘raid’ on his Mar-A-Lago residence. Fox News, the Republican ‘Pravda’ and other right-wing media are all fired up and that has prompted any wackaloon with a device to post honest, serious calls for civil war. This should alarm everyone who believes in this nation and its founding principles.

It is WAY past time to stop being so GD nice. Confront Trump. Draw him out. MAKE him respond to serious policy questions. If he thinks he should be president again, force him to act presidential. He does not know how. Any attempt at serious responses will only show what a dumb-ass he has always been.

Just like he did in 2016 when he was shocked to actually win, Trump again set the stage with his “If I lose, the election was rigged” gambit…and no Democrat called him out on it. Now his antics have metastasized to poison an entire party and the nation’s election system.

Here we are, days away from the elections, and Democrats are still playing nice. The January 6 Committee has finally decided they should subpoena the guy who was the cause of the insurrection. No one should hold their breath expecting that testimony. The Committee will be disbanded by the new Republican House majority before ‘America’s Mussolini’ ever gets the chance to plead the Fifth.

A few weeks ago, George Conway claimed that Trump was closer to an orange jump suit than he has ever been before. I’ll believe it when I see it.

But wait!

I’m sure the shameless scum bucket and his crack legal team will have one last emergency defense to keep his ass out of the slammer.

At this point in time, even conservative legal minds admit he broke the law by taking, keeping and refusing to return secret documents to the government. The only thing that’s preventing our timid Justice Department from charging Trump seems to be this lame worry that the nation can’t handle the spectacle of a former president on trial. Please. Try me.

I can see it now. The evidence is overwhelming. More and more associates are going down. Convictions and other setbacks are piling up. The Boss is finally indicted. What will be his last-ditch defense…after all the delays, diversions, and other BS motions are exhausted?

You heard it here first. Psychology professionals called him a malignant narcissist long before he was elected. He has been a congenital liar forever. The last desperate defense will be…not guilty by reason of insanity. “He’s been delusional for years. Who but a crazy person would suggest we inject bleach into our veins? Who but a mad man would claim with a straight face and without evidence to be a stable genius? He clearly did not know what he was doing.”

Alas, as I imagined this silly scenario, my dear spouse reminded me that if he’s not convicted, he would be able to run for office again. The MAGA faithful will rally around their martyr (“He may be a lunatic but he’s OUR lunatic”) and the Democrats will find a way to lose to him.

Back to the drawing board.
