It is a wonderful thing living in the age of Twitter. Twitter is the community bulletin board for the planet. News travels at the speed of light. The New York Times broke the news at 2:33 p.m. PT that Donald J. Trump was the first president of the United States, either sitting or former, to be indicted on criminal charges. This is a first in American history, friends. It may not rival the Kennedy assassination, in terms of being a moment that you will remember where you were and what you were doing at that time for the rest of your life, but it is pretty noteworthy in any case.

It also goes without saying that this is the first time a presidential candidate for any party, let alone one of the two major parties, has ever come under criminal indictment during the first months of a GOP primary — in this case, a primary which Trump himself launched way too early in the game, believing that to do so would shield him from the very thing that just happened today. Wrong.

Truth Social is as silent as the grave. The most recent thing posted over there is the obligatory fundraiser and DeSantis put down. Same with Trump War Room. Or, to be a fly on the wall at Mar-a-Lago as Trumpty tries to mop up his yoke with one hand while hurling ketchup bottles with the other. What a sight that must be. Meanwhile, there’s plenty of right wing outrage. They are shocked, we tell you, shocked. Here’s Junior with his two cents.

This is coming from one of the main voices of the Lock Her Up! crowd, I would remind you.

And the rest of right wingnuttia is inflamed. Oh, yessir, they are.

And the empty threats continue, what would you expect?

And Alvin Bragg is Julius Caesar. This works perfectly for me. I couldn’t be happier with all this historical analogy. Carry on, Charlie. Inspire us.

The point of all these tweets is to send a message to the libs, “Now you’ve done it. And you’ll really gonna get it.” Oh yeah?

There is no better note to end on. Stay tuned. Trumpty will come out into the light and say something.

  3. FAFO. Tick tock… Been explaining to folks that one needs footnotes, endnotes, Ted talks, zoom meetings, papers, books and some magic I guess to argue and combat stupidity.

Back. & had a little issue with Afib two years and doctors were waiting with statins and other meds!!! Well aflutter but a heart tumor in atrium size of a quarter… actually 3 hard calcified rocks. Then afib for sure and ablation… now just one pill and aspirin. So I will be around with some butter and popcorn.

  4. You’d think that someone with his well noted predilection for chemical recreation would be aware of eye drops.

    Maybe he was preoccupied and forgot?

    Sad.

    • Um, give a shout out to Ruggero Leoncavallo while you’re at it. Robinson references Leoncavallo’s opera “I Pagliacci” in the song. (And, a bit of shout out to Stevie Wonder and his producer Hank Cosby who composed the music and presented it to Robinson; the music inspired Robinson’s choice of clown metaphor.)
