Thought For The Day

Whole Lotta Crimin’ Going On

December 23, 2022

The January 6 Committee finally released their massive 845-page report yesterday. I was hoping that rather than crush Trump with a 16-ton weight they might have chosen to expose him to a death by a thousand transcripts.

Even though this would have been a much more effective strategy a few months ago, controlling the daily news cycle with the drip, drip, drip of a transcript here, a report excerpt there, would likely have suffocated any more MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS and more trading card releases, or any other Trumpian attempts to distract from his crimes against democracy from getting any media oxygen.

It seems that we might be gifted with the best of both worlds. There are reports that more transcripts are likely to be released. After all, a report is just a narrative derived from more than a thousand interviews – some of them presenting more than just the hundreds (probably thousands) of invocations of the Fifth Amendment and claims of “I don’t recall” regurgitated by dozens of witnesses. Transcripts likely have countless juicy, gory and hifuckinglarious details. Drip, drip, drip.

But now, coming in at slightly less than 16 tons, the big one is out, just in time for the holiday. It should make a good conman stuffer.

Personally, I plan to wait for the movie. Rumor has it that the ever-festering Trump will be played by a CGI potato since there are no self-respecting actors appear willing to play the disgraced, twice-impeached, failed insurrection leader and Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president. Not for all the Trump NFTs in the world.

He oughta be in pictures

And it will surely all be detailed in Mike Pence’s new book:

On Second Thought…

Former Deputy Solicitor General of the United States Neal Katyal said, “The Republican Party is no longer the party of the Second Amendment, they’re now the party of the Fifth Amendment.”
