Thought For The Day – Trump Skates

Cloudy With A Chance Of Blunderstorms

March 21, 2024

As you are well aware, we here at Paying Attention™ are nothing if not eternal optimists. Always looking on the blight bright side of life. Unfortunately, our serenely sunny dispositions are being sorely tested by current events.

I. Mangrey explains the sad state of affairs that has the entire staff here reaching for their Rent-A-Coma, or simply passing out where they sit...

Why I Worry And Can’t Be Happy
by I. Mangrey

There’s the perpetual ineptitude and lack of a sense of urgency displayed Merrick Garland’s Justice Department. The apparent unseriousness of the court system, especially judges like Trump-appointed (after he lost his re-election bid and stole at least 13,097 documents*) flagrantly pro-Trump Aileen Cannon who is doing everything in her grossly undeserved power as the judge in the Mor-on-Lago stolen documents case to protect her benefactor, aka The Fucking Defendant. She is working feverishly if absurdly to keep Trump not only out of jail, but out of her courtroom and back in the White House.

Cannon is likely getting more desperate now that the man referred to in Jack Smith’s classified documents indictment as “Trump Employee 5” has gone public. Long-time Mor-on-Lago employee Brian Butler, who worked for Trump for 20 years, is all over the TV describing how he (unknowingly) and others (knowingly or otherwise) loaded boxes Butler later was able to identify as boxes of classified documents onto Trump’s private jet to hide them from authorities just two months before the FBI ended up having to raid Mor-on-Lago because Trump refused to cooperate with the National Archives who requested Trump return stolen documents, many of which were classified.

Then there’s the idiotic Fani Willis who literally ran on not sleeping with co-workers and then slept with her co-worker who she also put in charge of Trump’s Fulton County, Georgia election interference case, which should have been a slam dunk and now risks fouling out before the game even starts. Add to this the monumental incompetence of the Southern District of New York dumping thousands of documents at the last minute, delaying yet another criminal case against Donny Fuckface. All of this is making it increasingly difficult to even put on a happy face, even just for show.

Almost everyone in Trump’s orbit – and I mean that literally (think large bodies and gravity) – is either in prison, soon to be in prison or got out of jail free thanks to a Trump pardon. Yet Trump itself continues to waddle among us, free to threaten, incite and figuratively (for now) torture.

Sorry to say, but these days, when I think about how all of Trump’s criminal trials are going to turn out, especially before Election Day, this is the picture that haunts my every waking moment:

Unfortunately, that does not appear to be thin ice beneath him

*Based on recent revelations by Brian Butler, there are almost certainly more stolen documents hidden in at least one other Trump residence. When is the fucking Justice Department going to issue more search warrants for every single Trump property and Trump’s ex-wife Ivana’s coffin which he oddly has stored at his golf resort in Bedminster, NY. What’s in that coffin? Is Ivana even in there?
