TV Or Not TV, That Is The Question

The Retribution Will Not Be Televised (Well Some Of It)

February 18, 2024

The Story So Far

Well, the ball is rolling. Hopefully, it’s a snowball. A snowball that builds to an avalanche. It’s now three down, and I-lost-count-of-how-many left to go. E. Jean Carroll went 2-0 against Trumpy to the tune of nearly $90 million. New York Attorney General Letitia James is also 1-0 against Donald the Menace in her fraud conviction to the tune of somewhere in the neighborhood of $550 million (a neighborhood Trump only pretends to live in) and a 3-year ban on conducting business in New York for him and a 2-year ban on his idiot sons from same. Donald may need to “borrow” some of that blood-and-oil-stained $2 billion son-in-law Jared pocketed from the Saudis on his way out the White House door.

Here's the full breakdown of Judge Arthur Engoron’s devastating decision:

$355 million from Donald Trump (plus some $100 million in interest*)
$4 million from idiot son Eric Trump
$4 million from idiot son Donald Trump, Jr.
$1 million from ex-CFO/convicted felon Allen Weisselberg

There might also be some $50 million in legal fees, but everyone knows that Trump never feels obligated to pay those. I guess Donald’s minions are going to have to cough up a lot more dough to prop up their fake billionaire lard and master to help him pay his fines, and maybe even his lawyers. Either way, in New York at least, his brand and name are Mud.

The 90-page ruling describes the actions of Team Trump thus, “Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological.” If any of these sub-human scumbags had a shred of ability to feel shame, they would lock themselves away and never darken anyone’s life with their presence. But, “pathological” is their middle name; and their behavior crossed that border long, long ago.

After the ruling was handed down, Letitia James took to the microphone. During her remarks she stated that “The scale and the scope of Donald Trump’s fraud is staggering, and so too is his ego, and his belief that the rules do not apply to him.” Funny, James didn’t mention his very, very large brain.

Yes, I would like fries with my schadenfreude.

The Insurrection Was Already Televised

The federal trial of defendant/traitor Donald Jazzhands Trump for inciting, aiding and abetting the insurrection of January 6th – if it ever happens – will most likely not be seen live – unlike the mostly salacious and ludicrous misconduct hearing to determine whether or not (at least somewhat pathetically stupid) Fulton County DA Fani Willis – can stay on the Georgia election steal case because she was banging the prosecutor she assigned to the case. This assumes that Willis and her utter lack of self-control has not derailed the case. Either way, she has now tainted – at least in the minds of the mindless Trump faithful – what was a clean case with a mountain of unassailable evidence, including a perfect(ly incriminating) phone call placed by the defendant.

Unfortunately and unfairly, those interested in Jack Smith’s Jan 6 Insurrection trial will have to make do with artist renderings, news reports, or reports from Fux News and their ilk, and/or their own imaginations, for enjoying the long-overdue, critically necessary legal skewering of the disgraced, twice-impeached, four-time-indicted (so far), failed insurrection leader and Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president.

Happily, the massive RICO trial in Georgia – and possibly other looming court appearances (should any of them ever actually come to fruition) – is set to be televised for all to see – except of course Fux News, who will as always refuse to have anything to do with the actual realities of the case, offering instead their special mélange of alternative facts. They will be working feverishly, along with Russian interests, to protect Trump. And to protect their mentally malfunctioning minions from reality. All they need or want to know is that Trump remains the affront-runner for the 2024 Fascist/Trump Party nomination.

Trial/Trail/Trail/Trial

Trump and his lawyers continue to whine that all of these trials are interfering with his ability to campaign effectively. A large majority of Americans are complaining that Trump’s campaigning is interfering with their ability to watch him squirm during all of his trials. 

Bubble Boy

Donald Fraud Trump lives in his own bubble that nothing can penetrate if he refuses to let it in. The only thing this bubble boy loves, wants and needs more than money is being on television. Please make this sad, mentally and physically deteriorating little boy’s dream come true before it’s too late. Trump is after all a reality (albeit fake reality) TV celebrity. Let all of his court appearances be televised. We the people deserve the chance to enjoy/endure the Trials of Donald Trump. With any luck we will be adding a Trump Court TV channel to the already near-infinite line-up of cable offerings.

Let my people watch.
