Cloudy With A Chance Of Fascism

July 28, 2022

Anyone without a decimal point before their IQ score who has allowed themselves to attend to any of the Jan 6 hearings has to admit that Trump has some serious ‘splainin’ (under oath) to do. Even though everyone knows that he would be perfectly comfortable lying under oath. But it would be fun to watch because the prosecution has the receipts.

“Hey buddy, can you spare a crime?”

The Clodfather continues his pathetic coup attempt. On July 19 – as in just over a week ago, as in 18 months after his miserably-failed agent-assaulting, lunch-hurling insurrection – Trump placed one of his patented Perfect Phonecalls, this one to Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Vos brushed it off as just another day at the office. According to Vos, “It’s very consistent. He makes his case, which I respect. He would like us to do something different in Wisconsin. I explained it's not allowed under the constitution. He has a different opinion.” Something you respect? Really? He has a different opinion? Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, he has an opinion that differs from the fucking law and the Constitution. That does not simply qualify as “a different opinion.” That qualifies as BREAKING THE FUCKING LAW. Wait, don’t tell me, you would vote for him again should he become your party’s nominee in 2024. Read my lips: go fuck yourself.

Many people are talking about the fact that the January 6 Hearings are beginning to take their toll on Ratpublicans. Even some Trump supporters are starting to turn away from the disgraced, twice-impeached, treasonous, ex-one-term-president and failed blogger.

Finally, we hear that Attorney General Merrick Garland is turning his attention to the previous White House and what appears to be a vast, illegal and unavoidably stupid conspiracy to defraud, dismember and destroy democracy. Garland seems to be signaling that there is no one immune from his Justice Department’s investigation. Don’t hold your breath, but do keep your fingers crossed. And stay tuned.

The problem is, even though most if not all of these foul weather friends might slink away from Der Furor, they are in no way losing their taste for Trumpism, i.e., anti-science, anti-social, theocratic authoritarianism, with a heapin’ helpin’ of racism on the side.

Without a doubt, Donald Trump belongs in the dustbin of history. Right now. He needs to be in the rearview mirror, fading from view. But that will only solve the problem of Trump itself. Our eyes have seen the carnage of the coming of the Turd. His stench goes marching on. Gory, gory, how he do ya.

Richard Nixon tried to write his attempt at democracide off as “a third-rate burglary” though Watergate ended up being his Waterloo. Donald Trump’s attempt to end the American Experiment finally put truth to Nixon’s lie. Compared to the deadly Trump Insurrection, Nixon’s Watergate begins to look like a third-rate burglary indeed.

We’re gonna need a bigger dustbin.

I. Mangrey telling it like it should be.
