Jesus. Mary. And Joseph. This is supposed to be the doldrums people. We’re still a couple of weeks from the Virginia and New Jersey off year state elections, and the first action packed primaries are still months away. And yet, thanks to Jabba the Trump, all hell is already breaking loose.

For those of you who aren’t more or less chained to the house like I am, and actually have other interests than politics, let me give you just a brief overview of some of the insanity that has ensued in just the past week, and mark my words, it’s a sign of the next 13 months.

  • Trump sent out a letter advising GOP leadership that unless the 2020 vote fraud issue is settled, which means getting him reinstated before his fat ass gets indicted, he will have his base sit out 2022 and 2024
  • Trump crashed a high level retreat for big pocket donors and GOP strategists, where he took to the floor and declared himself the savior of the GOP, and castigating the GOP for not coming together stronger to back his vote fraud claims. He then spent :15 minutes angrily refuting the 6 year old Russian hookers, golden shower claims from the infamous Steele dossier
  • Trump is all in for his guy, Glenn Youngkin for Virginia Governor in a couple of weeks. So they held a fundraiser for Youngkin in a Virginia restaurant, which was hosted by traitor Steve Bannon, and included a Warolesque Pledge of Allegiance to a flag that was carried in the Capitol on January 6th. Trump himself called in to cheer on his newest acolyte. Youngkin, tied to a Brazilian bikini wax appointment he just couldn’t ditch, missed the fundraiser. He later bashed the pledge as weird and inappropriate

My sweet Lord. So much to unpack, so few gigs to do it in. Let’s start with the Youngkin fundraiser. Youngkin has been walking a tightrope over Mount Doom, desperately trying to cuddle up to Trump voters without tying himself to Trump for moderate voters. But you can’t stop Trump. and so he plowed in two weeks before the election, and threw a land mine in the middle of the Youngkin campaign. One that Terry McAuliffe merrily set off by remote control.

Now, let’s touch briefly on Trump’s hijacking of the high level GOP donor retreat. Deep pocket donors are already highly nervous about Trump’s instability. But really? Trump and Russian hookers and golden showers? Nobody has even mentioned that goddamn thing for the last 5 years, but apparently it really got under Trump’s skin. But if Trump has an itch, he’s gonna scratch it, end of story. And he did it in front of a room full of people who already think he’s fucking nuts. And I did notice that Trump never denied the hookers, just the golden showers.

Get used to this people, it’s your drear future for the next 13 months. In 2018 Trump did everything in his power to make the midterms about him, thinking he was invincible. But Trump was still President, with duties he had to at least pretend to see to, so his interference was limited to social media and media appearances.

But not anymore. Trump is now unchained, a disgraced, twice impeached Biggest Loser, and he can go where he wants and do what he wants. And what he really, really wants is to show his dominance in the party by personally overseeing the 2022 midterms. Trump will be brutal in opposing those he fells were impure in the primaries, and lavish with his praise of those he supports. All of which is a mixed blessing all around.

But the fact of the matter is that Trump is at heart a cheap fuck. Trump can no longer soak us taxpayers to fire up Air Force 1 and jet around the country doing rallies. If he does rallies, they are going to be for himself. Which means that both favored GOP incumbents, as well as favored challengers, are going yo have to live through the daily night terrors of holding a rally or fund raiser fearing a sudden call in from Trump, spouting off who knows what kind of toxic shit?

Mark my words my friends, this is the future. As one commentator said tonight, when you’re in front of high level donors, and you’re relitigating golden showers, you’re arguing from weakness. Trump is going to try to dominate the midterms in order to show his control, but he’s insanely unpopular outside of his base. Trump will interfere by long distance whenever possible, and the Democrats will have a cornucopia of material to use against GOP opponents. Watch Virginia like a hawk in two weeks.

  1. Great job as usual, Murf! One only hopes he keeps up with the “things go my way or my base is gonna sit things out altogether” shtick. If the Dems get just a teeeeeeney bit more aggressive and actually use this stuff, it would be invaluable.

  2. Insanely unpopular?

    No, it’s his popularity with anyone that is insane.

    His wild unpopularity is completely sane, and the only rational response to his madness. 🙂

  3. Two, count’em TWO impeachment trials that never happened in the senate. I harassed tillis & burr’s office so consistently they called the capital police on ME. That was b4 the GOP had them attacked. I had my senators, like Dustin Hoffman had general Custer in Little Big Man, “with the truth”. The police agreed with me that nothing I did was a threat, but the offices were tired of feedback. SO???? Never heard from them again. Guess an all out violent assault on the capital made irritants, like me, not worth the trouble. Called my so called senators to reiterate my disgust , & still do. I can’t let traitors rest while they are collecting money from taxpayers while endorsing the overthrow of our democracy, violating their oaths over & over, & assisting our greatest serial killer. Fuck em. The GOP DESERVES HELL. Must be my Scottish blood. I just can’t traitors rest after all the people in my family who been shot at & wounded in war. Easy duty as they say in the service. Plus half my family is from Virginia. Can’t wait to see what happens if there is no democratic governor to veto bills. I’m not convinced frump will sink anything until it happens. After all, after 4 years of watching him spout 40,000 lies, destroy all decency, damage thousands of kids, support bone sawing a journalist, & so on, HIS GODDAMN VOTE TOTAL WENT UP. We are a bunch of venal morons until PROVEN differently. No? Ask the 720,000 dead folks & COUNTING.

  4. Best thing that could happen to the GOP is the former guy being put in a home for the hopelessly confused. (That’s the best you can mention in most places. The really best would have him cremated and scattered at sea.)
