Thought For The Day

Cloudy With A Chance Of Schadenfreude

January 10, 2024

Disgraced, twice-impeached, four-time-indicted (so far), failed insurrection leader and Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president Defendant J. Trump’s “attorney” argued in court yesterday that presidents should have total immunity, perhaps even to order S.E.A.L. Team 6 to take out one or more of his adversaries. Trump himself insists that the presidency is worthless without absolute immunity to do whatever he wants. He has also threatened to indict Biden should Trump fail to secure absolute presidential immunity and then win the presidency in November – from his lips to no one’s ears.

Judge: I asked you a yes or no question. Could a president who ordered S.E.A.L. Team 6 to assassinate a political rival (and is) not impeached, would he be subject to criminal prosecution?

Trump “attorney”: says If he is impeached and convicted first…my answer is a qualified yes.

After all his arguments in court melted away like his inch-thick makeup under the klieg lights, Trump sniffed outside the courtroom, “And I feel that as a president, you have to have immunity.” Immunity, you say? Try shining a very bright light up your ass, or maybe a good, stiff bleach cocktail.

This farcical, fascistic fantasy could conceivably be decided any day now. In the incredibly unlikely event that it is decided in Trump’s favor, it would mean that absolute immunity would apply to the current president, who despite all protestations, lying and whining to the contrary by Defendant Trump, is in reality Joe Biden. 

Here's a thought: If Trump succeeds in having full immunity for presidents, Joe Biden should immediately have Defendant Trump dragged out of bed, or preferably the bathroom – you know, the one with all the classified documents stacked up – in the middle of the night (if it's the bathroom, there should obviously be hazard pay for the S.E.A.L. Team 6 extraction team) and hanged (I know where you can get a nice gallows, lovingly hand-made by a Trumpian “patriot” in mint condition in a Washington, DC evidence locker) for treason, or for reason. Checkmate.
