Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I want to drag you back for a moment to the election summer of 2016. Traitor Tot had a whole phalanx of brainless blonde sycophants whose whole job was to get in front of cameras and burnish Traitor Tot’s tough guy image. And man did they play it to the bone.
Kayleigh McEnany and KellyAnne Conjob were the gruesome twosome. Both were later banned from both MSNBC as well as CNN for flatly refusing to answer simple questions, instead falling back on pathetically constructed propaganda. And their favorite mantra was one of unveiled threat;
One thing people have to learn about Mr. Trump. He doesn’t take insults well, and he has a long memory. If somebody takes a swipe at Mr. Trump, he will pay them back. He doesn’t care if it takes years or even decades. He has a long memory, and when he finally hits back, it will be 10X harder than the original slap.
oooOOOoook! I hate to break this to the Trombie Doublemint Twins, but according to the actuarial tables, His Lowness doesn’t have years left. In fact, with his cholesterol and obesity, Trump may be lucky to have years left. But that’s grist for another mill.
Here’s why I bring this up. All through the 2016 election Trump savaged anybody who dared to oppose him on the GOP side. And as recently as the 2024 primary cycle, Traitor Tot angrily banished both Nikki Haley as well as all of her supporters, telling them he didn’t want their stupid RINO votes. Only a few months ago, El Pendejo Presidente was turning his rabid mob against all apostates.
So what happened? Only a few weeks ago at the Democratic convention, a steady line of well known GOP moderates, from Adam Kinzinger to Olivia Troye to GOP border town Mayors and Sheriffs took to the podium to slam Trump, hold him personally responsible for January 6th, cite him as a national security threat, and endorse Kamala Harris. Yesterday it was John McCain’s son that announced he was not only voting for Harris, he was changing his party affiliation to Democratic. And today former GOP power player in the House Liz Cheney announced she was voting for Harris, and advising on-the-fence Republicans that it was the patriotic thing to do.
Ummm. Where’s the screaming, ranting outrage? Where are the threats of MAGA reprisals and immediate SWATting? The Mango Moron has held at least two rallies, as well as a faux town hall on FUX News, and he hasn’t even mentioned it. And he’s been radio silent on his favorite bitching board, Bullsh*t Social. What’s going on here? Where is the dark Lord of vengeance?
Long gone. As dead as Paddy’s pig. We all know that the Traitor Tot of 2024 is not the Traitor Tot of 2016. He’s eight years older than he was in 2016, and it shows. The 2016 Trump scheduled 2-3 rallies in a day before heading back to Bedminster or Mar-A-Slobo to sleep. His mental acquity has declined so significantly that even some network commentators are starting to question on-air why the media isn’t paying as much attention to Trump’s mental decline as much as they focused on Biden’s age.
And Trump no longer has either the time, nor the attention for politics. At long last his long history of delay tactics in his legal problems seems to have run its course. Just in the last few weeks;
- Both Trump’s defamation case brought by writer E Jean Carroll as well as the NY Attorney General’s civil fraud case are in the appellate process, with hikely decisions due before the new year
- It appears that in the Manhattan criminal fraud case, District Judge Juan Merchan appears likely to go ahead and sentence Trump on or near September 18th, branding him not only as a convicted criminal, but as a sentenced convicted criminal, fodder for the Harris campaign
- And while the Traitor Tot legal carp wanted federal District court Judge Tanya Chutkan to delay any pre-trial motions until after the election, today Judge Chutkan gave them the back of her hand, setting an aggressive pre-trial motion schedule
Here’s why this is so critical, both to Trump as well as his campaign. Judge Chutkan has given the proseuction until September 25th to submit their written arguments, and the defense until Ovtober 17th to respond, Oral arguments will be on October 25th, with a ruling to follow.
But here’s why the timeline is so critical. The prosecutions written arguments are due by September 25th. But like so many things Jack Smith, these are highly likely to be speaking arguments. What I mean is that as federally filed documents, they automatically become public documents. And Smith is free to use previously undisclosed items such as grand jury testimony, undisclosed documents and evidence, and anything else Jack Smith feels like throwing in.
All of which, starting at midnight on September 25th, will be picked over by the media with a fine tooth comb. This revelation is going to last for multiple news cycles while the media digests it all. And best of all, there’s no way that the Trump ambulance chasers can appeal, since the scheduling of the court docket is in the sole perview of the presiding judge.
This is why Trump has no time for politics, his legal world is falling apart around him. And on September 25th, his legal problems become a campaign tsunami of damaging revelations from the Smith criminal filings, for which the campaign has no answers, and neither does Traitor Tot.
Trump has spent his whole life being entirely transactional, but there’s no way to be transactional when the shit is coming down so hot and heavy, and from so many angles that you can’t deal with them in any sequence.
The simple fact is that Trump has virtually no attention span. And especially after September 18th and then September 25th, if Trump’s mind is preoccupied with his legal problems, his public political appearances are only going to be more rambling, disjointed, and insane than what we’ve seen so far. Don’t touch that dial.
I thank you for the privilege of yhour time.
His ‘speeches’ remind me of a routine of the Fireside Theater spoofing people who are stoned out of their mind. It was on their album. Listening you hear a guy pounding on a door saying hey its Dave I got the stuff. From inside they ask Dave? He says yeah its me Dave I got the stuff. They repeat Dave? He says yeah it’s me. They reply Dave’s not here. This goes on for some time. Apparently he can’t keep track of what’s he’s talking about. I expect some hearty laughter from Kamala from time to time concerning his diatribes. She just needs to be careful not to appear that she’s abusing an elderly confused man. I agree murf he doesn’t appear interested anymore.
“according to the actuarial tables, His Lowness doesn’t have years left. In fact, with his cholesterol and obesity, Trump may be lucky to have years left. ”
While you can’t argue with the Grim Reaper I do think we need to pray earnestly and do our best to maintain Trump’s good health for just another 3 or so months. He has to be around for a resoundng electoral smacking. Not just for the hubris on his and the MAGA/GOP side and schadenfreude/vindication on the Dem side but to thoroughly end the lie of the recent past and reset for the future. An earlier demise would create a martyr which will overshadow forever.
Trump needs to live long enough to get the electoral beating, but not long enough to mount another insurrection. No one is going to rally to put JD Vance in the White House unconstitutionally. November 29 would be a good day for him to pass on to the gates of Hell, everyone will be thinking of anything but him during all the football games and mall sales.
He can keel over on 11/19 my 75th birthday. Nothing else has gone right: two weeks in the hospital.
The Trump dragon is visibly and functionally running out of its magic and its puff!
Whupped dog? WAAAYY too much credit. More of a pussy.
