Checking over the news tonight, Trump’s declaration yesterday that the Constitution should be overturned so the “rightful winner” of he 2020 election can be installed in office is seen as an escalation on his part to try and deflect from the fact the walls are closing in on him as though he was in the Death Star’s trash compactor.
Trump not the force at the moment he once was. He knows it, he knows the law's closing in, and like any wounded animal that finds itself being cornered, he's lashing out. And the more cornered he becomes, the more he'll hiss and flail. The appropriate action on Trump will be letting the law run him to ground and hopefully put him in the cage he deserves. Meantime, let him spit and hiss, and let the R's keep on trying to dodge the bite. They can only dodge for so long before he sinks his filthy teeth all the way to the bone for good, or the pain becomes too much and they finally put the rabid mutt down themselves.
I think the money IS the cult ideology and has been for far longer than we've been around. I know that the worship of money is inherent in a capitalist society, but I believe America has developed and embraced a particularly brutal and vicious capitalism that is unique and soul-deforming. You are absolutely right, Jeri, when you say, first, that there are too many variables, on the one hand, and that only one--the money--really counts. Too many people have too much cash on the table to pay attention to anything but their cash on the table. We've been sitting in front row seats these past several years for an especially crass and flashy performance of that dynamic but it's always there.
All unbelievable and if a few years ago you had said a former President would spout such dangerous rhetoric, the men in the white coats would show up for you. ("They're coming to take you away, hah ha!")
But let's step back and consider the political futures of all these quiet Republican Cowards. Imagine their opponents in future elections having this incredible ammunition: ..."And why sir, when former President Trump announced that the Constitution of the United States of America should be terminated...why, sir did you say nothing? Why did you imply that you would support him if he is again the nominee for President? Do you believe, sir, that the Constitution should be terminated? Then why did you not stand tall and condemn such a statement? And why sir, would you support ANYONE who wanted to terminate our founding document - literally destroy our government? Why sir?"
It's like a Jonestown of political suicide. So many gifts for the future.
Alas, IT upped the anty from Shooting someone on 5th Avenue to Murdering our democracy on Pennsylvania Avenue. Some fear IT will avoid all the aforementioned reasons you summarize so well to convict and that he will be got on the lesser, but more egregious crime of False Advertisement, i.e., Truth Social is neither and is punishable with eschrewment from public life into eternity. He will be snubbed by every admaker, campaign manager, and other party ignobles for so long as his chloresterol continues to hardens his arteries. I'm hopeful that calcification will be complete by Christmas, but I digress. But, while I do, I can see the annual Goodfellow drinks hours held along K Street becoming groaning wakes sponsored by the Criminal Lawyers Guildd just before they submit a final bill to IT's estates.
The hardest thing for me these days is staying engaged and informed without letting the soul- sucking, casually cruel and uncivil dynamics take up residence in my spirit. This is not easy in the face of a man I viscerally loathe!
The ‘smell of Trump’s “panther sweat” of fear” is making it impossible for me to breathe. ‘We ignore him at our peril’. Are you kidding TC? Just reading your prose about the guy is perilous. TC does Trump better than the man himself. Right from the start the ‘case of El Jefe Del Merde A Loco (“Chief of the Crazy Shit”) shooting himself in the foot’ had me throwing up every few minutes.
The writer and his muse; TC and Trump are like a pair of 14th century toilets which are nothing but 700-year-old ‘…repurposed barrels, … still reeking of poop.’ (ScienceAlert) See the link below for the worst smells in the world.
I can only write the above comment after I've composed myself from laughing out loud at your incredible descriptions of TFG, TC. Your wit is unending!!
The passport of the panther sweating 🤮 "El Jefe Del Merde A Loco" needs to be rescinded several months ago; shoot his plane in the wheels on any Avenue; and stuff his sorry ass in jail - there's room in Guantanamo, yes?
Can we please just skip to the part where we put him in the Death Star’s trash compactor?
You say somebody has to build a Death Star first? Details, details…

I despise him cornered more than I loathe him riding down an escalator preening like a whore.
No one ignoring him now except the silent Repubs. At their peril.
Salud, TC. The griddle still sizzlin’.

I have a perfect solution. Trade Brittney Griner for the whole Trump family. A win- win for the US.
When is his passport seized so he can't flee the country?

Thank you for this, TC. Bottom line is, Trump's most dangerous when
backed into a corner. He's not a
stupid man. He also has a bevy of
attorneys, Jason Miller, Stephen snake Miller and a few billion from
the Saudis. You have to ask yourself
why, being under threat of indictment from federal and state
entities, he would make such a
profound statement of totally
trashing the Constitution. He
basically called for a coup, openly,
to overthrow our government and
put him in charge. The deafening
silence of the GOP only adds more complicity to their own goals. To ignore him and the crickets, as TC points out, puts us ALL in peril.

What's his name? Dipshit or Donald something?
