Thought For The Day - Trump Trial, Day 1

Cloudy With A Chance Of Jurors

April 15, 2024

The very strong and powerful criminal hush-money trial of demented, deranged, disgraced, twice-impeached, quadruple-indicted (so far), failed insurrection leader and Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president Donald Trump (and let's not forget all the rapey stuff) begins its jury selection phase today.

Trump today is facing a 34-count indictment which includes felonies like election interference and campaign finance malfeasance. Trump paid hush money to Stormy Daniels (oh, and also former Playboy model Karen McDougal; and who knows who else) – not allegedly, since we have the signed checks, and since Trump’s then-attorney Michael Cohen did time for his part in the crime – in order to trick the American people into thinking Trump was something other than a pathetic scumbag who grabs women by the pussy (which he himself bragged about) and fucks porn stars while his third wife was home with their four-month-old son.

How ironic that life-long tax cheat Trump’s first criminal trial, though this one is not over taxes, begins on Tax Day. Even more ironic, Trump is in trouble for paying hush money when he is the one who just cannot shut the fuck up. You couldn’t pay him enough money to keep his trap shut. And, other than constantly yapping like a dog, money is the only thing he cares about.

Well that, and now staying out of prison.

Inveterate liar Trump is now yowling that he will “absolutely” testify in this case. Because he absolutely cannot shut the fuck up. But he also absolutely cannot stop lying, especially when it comes to bragging about wanting to testify in his own defense. And because, as Trump keeps whining, “I did nothing wrong.”

“It’s HIS fault – the guy who was my lawyer and did whatever
I told him to do. He did it. I did nothing wrong. Always.”

I haven’t been this politically gleeful since disgraced, almost-impeached, would-have-been-indicted president Richard Nixon (still dead) resigned. Also, I hope that Donald dyes before showing up for trial today. We want him to be properly hued in the hope that when he starts sweating like the pig he is, we might have a runny-Rudy moment as Donald’s orange Crayola coating begins dripping all over his ill-fitting suit and gold sneakers.
