Just can’t give it up, whether it’s for or against. Has to keep going on, and on, until the babble turns into a buzzing sound in the ears that needs to be swatted away. The Mango. Mandarin. Just. Won’t. Shut. Up. I was looking through the news from a couple of days ago and ran across this: “Trump rails against ‘dying remnants of Witch Hunts’ as he finally faces the music today.” At this time, he was getting ready to appear in court virtually for the punishment of his hush-money case. He already *knew* he wasn’t going to jail (I wish) or even having to pay a fine. He’s only going to be a convicted felon in *New York State* for the rest of his life. Remember, he lives in Florida now. So, this isn’t going to matter anywhere except in *New York State*.
Yet it’s still a “witch hunt”. Give it a rest, guy. It didn’t stop you from winning (grrr) the presidency. It didn’t give you any other problems. This was a state-level offense in *New York State*. It doesn’t affect any of the other 49 and DC. It’s ONE state. ONE. Yet babble, babble, babble. Witch Hunt on and on. The man can’t even think of anything more creative unless he counts the word ME. Shaking my head, here. Can anyone remember when that first showed up? Witch Hunt? I certainly can’t, which says something about how long it’s been going on. When I was lucky enough to start on Politizoom, the first piece I did was about a song called “Witch Hunt” by Rush and how the lyrics were so applicable today! Well, it seems they still are.
It’s a bit sad, because the Orange Baby Balloon is only, apparently, true to himself. “If you’re not with me, you’re against me” seems to be his motto. But if you’re with him, you’d best be ready to fawn and drool like a lap dog, because at the slightest hint of what he would call betrayal (like, say, if you sneeze wrong) he will be railing against you on whatever choice of media happens to suit him at the moment. Of course, that moment may be at 3 in the morning, as it seems to be his favorite time. And it usually includes some sort of self-praise ending with the word ME, note the capital letters, although that may not be the end of the post (Truth Social*yawn*)/ article/whatever.
Babble, babble, babble. And even when *he* doesn’t say something, there are plenty of people who will be happy to say something *for* him. He has so many “loyalists” in place, and hoping to be in place, for his cabinet, for all we know we may get multiple speakers discussing the same issue in slightly different ways. For the majority of the time, it’s barely worth a passing glance, let alone to be in the news (of whichever sort). This is when it’s time to yawn and move along. Even a few seconds are too much time to have to see or hear the latest inanity.
So tRump huffs and he puffs, and he huffs and he puffs, and he fumes and he sputters, and he screams and he yells, and he never ever shuts up. We should be fortunate we only have 4 years left of his drivel because then it won’t matter anymore. Right? We can hope? And pray, and do whatever we can to finally get rid of this megalomaniac who thinks no one is worth anything but himself. Some day, our prince will come. Or princess. Or something, as long as it isn’t the Cheezy Poof Traitor Tot.

“He’s only going to be a convicted felon in *New York State* for the rest of his life. Remember, he lives in Florida now. So, this isn’t going to matter anywhere except in *New York State*.”
I don’t believe that “only . . . in New York State” thing is accurate. He is a felon, regardless of where the felony occurred. I noted a few days ago, in another story, that his felony will affect the liquor licenses of his clubs in New Jersey.
Then, there’s the voting eligibility. Currently, Florida law states “For felonies not involving murder or sexual offense, if your sentense [sic] is completed including parole, probation, and payment of fees, you may register to vote and cast a ballot” (the information came from the U S Vote Foundation website and that spelling error is theirs). Now, of course, this probably is the absolute last thing that Trump cares about BUT Florida law includes a “moral character” requirement for anyone wanting a liquor license–even if criminal activity took place in another state or another country. The specifics about that will likely come into play (of course, DeSantis will probably just order his Alcohol Board flunkies to ignore Trump’s felony convictions to let the dotard keep the license for Mar-a-Lago).
Given an earlier report that De Santis is cleaving to the right and, being critical of Trump’s position on H B-1 visas, he might even spot opportunity move further on Trump by playing with the Marinade Lago liquor license as you suggest, spotting weakness when and if MAGA begins to move off from Trump. His eye on 2028, of course.
But I believe the civil part and huge fine remain.
Hopefully will bankrupt his BS real estate scam company
