The casual political observer might think that the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago yesterday would provide a welcome opportunity for a Trump-weary Republican Party. It’s an entirely post-presidential scandal for Donald Trump. Unlike his two impeachments, this time all legal jeopardy is purely a personal Trump problem. Big donors and Fox News management have been trying for months to nudge the party away from Trump. All they had to do was just say “No comment” and let justice take its course.
The title of TC's piece, THE NEW TRUMP LOYALTY TEST could be aptly extended with, ':INSIDE THE GOP'S INSANE ASSYLM.' If the Republican Party was sane, it would do exactly what the Party wants to do, which is to dump Trump, but they are nowhere without him -- and in hell with him. Have the Republicans not gotten what they deserve? THEY ARE SICK, SICK, SICK.
-And we are part of the citizens' Army, which is going BRING THESE SUCKERS DOWN, DOWN, DOWN.
(Thank you guy and gal Republicans for making it easier to do every damn day.)
“Republicans have never understood irony, since they lack self-awareness. And now they are screaming that the FBI must be destroyed.” Excellent pointing out that insight, TC.
The sheer irony of Repubs beating the drum of “de-fund the police” places the sticks in their hands and this time it’s de-fund federal police. That irony is not lost on those of us teeming with self-awareness. I’m marking that refrain from them now (especially from Rubio, Voldemort, and Desantis) as #1 reason to people to never trust a Republican, don’t vote for a Republican, and note their utter lack of ethics, disregard for rule of law, and deflection using their own past rhetoric.
Mainstream media won’t touch it….yet, but there’s a lot of speculation regarding Ivana’s casket. Which catapulted after the subpoena going after missing boxes of documents at Gordo Largo. I’ve thought about it and I have concluded that if Ivana’s ashes are safe and on a respectful resting place, then I think trump would have loaded up the casket which appeared to be almost too heavy for the beefy pallbearers to bear. Loaded it up with the one thing that has been most important to him yet always elusive because of his compulsive narcissistic gambler’s mentality. Documents? No. He would sell those given the chance. I speculate cold, hard cash. Packed tightly. Saved for a tsunami day of justice raining down upon him.
If there is one thing that has been taught during the past several years of trumpery and trumpetry, it’s consider conspiracy and identify it when it’s targeted to destroy the common good.
Makes me think of this scene from the Jungle Book: The python Kaa has hypnotized all of Bandarlog (the monkeys) and is about to swallow them all. Mowgli saves himself, trapped in a cave with poisonous snakes, make friends with them by saying "we are of the same blood, you and me". - Yes, you can do it together! From my Swedish point of view, and a spectator of this mess, not "we".
The hole keeps getting deeper, and at this point it’s nearly impossible to see a way out, our only hope is to vote them all into irrelevance, and that is going to take a clarity that seems in short supply today. I would like to be far more optimistic than I truly feel.

Hope Irony enjoys the Macallan, she missed the Pappy Van Winkle 23 right next to it. Great piece TC.

“Ask not what your member of Congress can do for you. Ask what your member of Congress can do to salve Donald Trump’s hurt feelings.” Exactly.

Oh! The Committee already has his taxes? Good! I had thought he still had another way to stall that through the courts.
Every damn day, I wonder what it will take for his congressional enablers/supporters to disavow him.
