Trump, the kid standing there in the ktichen holding the cookie jar, with his hand in it, and his face covered with chocolate and crumbs looks you in the face and cries: “I DO NOT have the cookie Jar! And MOST CERTAINLY I do not have my hand in the cookie jar that I don’t have. Ad ABSOLUTELY I have not eaten any of the cookies from the cookie jar I don’t have my hand in that I don’t have! Who are you going to believe? Me? Or your lying eyes?”
I can't quite dismiss my growing cynicism as the result of a hellacious week and a foul mood. I'm sitting here, reading another finely constructed article and nodding my head, "Uh, huh. Two documents. Alrighty then, the family business on taxes. That one's been coming. They got Capone on taxes, right? What year was that?"
I don't think this is a bad week or a bad mood. I think it's exhaustion. I think it's battle fatigue. Or maybe I'm just getting greedy. I want more than two effing documents. I want to stop what feels like a pretty desperate counting of documents in single digits. Why will two more documents seal the deal? I don't believe it. I have no window into the workings of the Justice Department or the complexities of Merick Garland's mind, but WTF? Isn't it time?
Apologies for the bad week and the nasty mood. Both are real.
The Donald is to all things shabby, shady, unethical, illegal or immoral as iron shavings are to a rare earth magnet. And he's screwed enough pooches to keep the dog pounds full of strays for a generation or so, if we had the means to round them all up. But Animal Control is finally closing in on the mutt.
Trump is nothing if not slippery. But even the Teflon Don couldn't stay free of the long arm of the law forever. And about the only difference between Donald Trump and John Gotti is that Gotti wore better clothes.
Memory is such a curious thing! Your calling TFG Mr. Big brought a song lyric bubbling up to the little window of the magic eight ball of my thoughts. Anyone remember that song, Mr. Big Stuff, by Jean Knight? It was a popular soul song played a lot on the radio late 60's. And I quote:
"Mr. Big Stuff, who do you think you are?" This was too much fun!
TC, I do so enjoy your writing, thank you! Law degrees found in Cheerios boxes . . . love it!
I would emphasize and add “the gross abuse and the trust placed in him as president for every event of the four years of his maladministration.” And every nanosecond after. I never placed any trust in him, just watched him live down to my expectations and keep digging. Only Rupert Murdoch could have made that cow patty aromatic, or even alluring. And he outdid Goebbels, to the point that half of the “bastion of freedom” followed the mirage. The mirage that is now smelling like the putrid pile of garbage it always was.
On top of all his other faults, trump is also an inveterate hoarder, sort of like Charles Foster Kane…maybe he has a “Rosebud” salted away somewhere along with all his other trash?
I’m sure this has been covered somewhere. But as a retired librarian, who tracks books that are borrowed to ensure their return, is there not a list of all the documents dt ever had in our White House?
And are any of these lawyers worried about their licenses??
It has been reported, not widely, that Roger Waters emphatically denies that the phrase “run rabbit, run” was a prognostication of Trump’s current legal troubles
On the other hand, Paul McCartney will neither confirm or deny that “rabbit on the run” was not, cheekily commenting that his band Wings was “apolitical” and that the Beatles were not so much so. Giving the peace sign, Paul simply said “Helter Skelter”
Reporter Dave was left to his own opinions to be offered in a follow up editorial
I’m really enjoying your substack. Maladministration. Perfect.
I’d also like to say I’m spitting nails over military vaccine mandates being dropped. WTF.
Good evening, TC and all,
I can't quite dismiss my growing cynicism as the result of a hellacious week and a foul mood. I'm sitting here, reading another finely constructed article and nodding my head, "Uh, huh. Two documents. Alrighty then, the family business on taxes. That one's been coming. They got Capone on taxes, right? What year was that?"

Possibly poetic that the first conviction of a Trump organization should take place on Pearl Harbor Day.
The one outstanding thing the conviction in NY proved was DJT
knew what was going on. It points
pointsout he is a cheat, thief and
fraud. As for the classified documents...there are still more
missing. I don't think they're in
this country anymore. Am sure
Counterintelligence Bratt knows
what's missing. There may be
another search warrant coming
for Trump. I have every hope
and a lot of faith that God/karma is
going to blow through Trump's
life huge and he will no longer
be a problem.
I would emphasize and add “the gross abuse and the trust placed in him as president for every event of the four years of his maladministration.” And every nanosecond after. I never placed any trust in him, just watched him live down to my expectations and keep digging. Only Rupert Murdoch could have made that cow patty aromatic, or even alluring. And he outdid Goebbels, to the point that half of the “bastion of freedom” followed the mirage. The mirage that is now smelling like the putrid pile of garbage it always was.
Someday he will pay. Ain’t holding my breath, however.
I am almost afraid to get my hopes up...
he "slip slides" away so often, blaming every one else.
At the very, very least, he must be forever banned from seeking/ holding public office.
"Way back in October - I know, there’s so much that happens it seems like the early Jurassic, right?" Yes!
On top of all his other faults, trump is also an inveterate hoarder, sort of like Charles Foster Kane…maybe he has a “Rosebud” salted away somewhere along with all his other trash?
It is rather pathetic, TC. That this neverending litany continues unabated is becoming a drama worthy of Larry, Curly and Shep.
I’m sure this has been covered somewhere. But as a retired librarian, who tracks books that are borrowed to ensure their return, is there not a list of all the documents dt ever had in our White House?
And are any of these lawyers worried about their licenses??
tRump grossly abuses everyone and everything around him. Everything he touches dies, you know.
