This American carnage stops. Right here, right now! Trump inaugural address January 20,2017
Stupid is as stupid does. Thank you, Mama Gump. Eight years ago the new Imbecile in Chief used his inaugural address to draw a dark and grim vision of the current state of the country. One that it immediately turned out that the majority of the country didn’t agree with. They didn’t feel crime ridden, and under assault by minorities and others. But it was pure Trump. It wasn’t an uplifting cry for national unity and purpose, it was a dark call for authoritarianism. Trump was calling the faithful, and taking off the kid gloves.
Eight years later, it was Dictator Redux, a justification of his past barbarity, and a promise of more to come. And here’s a News Flash for you. I think we all know that unless Traitor Tot has already doodled a set of mamaries and a vulva, he can’t even compose a birthday greeting. Tonight’s speech was pure Steven Miller. His Machiavellian fingers were all over it, ensuring that Trump defended his favorite racist causes, no matter how unpopular they are. His lousy street creds were at stake here.
The speech was a national nightmare for any GOP incumbents and candidates running in November. Trump doubled down on his recently slapped down tariffs, as well as his increasingly unpopular, vulgar, and unconstitutional immigration policies. He gave the desperate GOP candidates absolutely no ground cover, nor an uplifting message to run on. Rachel Maddow summed it up perfectly when she referred to his gory rant as violence porn.
But there’s plenty of good news for the Democrats coming out of tonight’s two hour delirium tremens attack. And here it is. First of all:
Newly minted Democratic Governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger kicked Trump’s and the GOP’s palsied asses up one side and down the other. She kept salting her criticism of Emperor Numbus Nuttus with one question, Is the President really working for you? And then she gilded the lily. Instead of just saying NO, she embellished it, We all know that the answer is no. This was brilliant. The subliminal message was, You may be Republicans, you may be independents, but we all know that the President isn’t working for us. He’s working for himself and his cronies. And she kept hammering it home over and over again.
And here’s the more near term, immediate victory for the Democrats, which will resound right through the midterm elections. MAGA Mike Johnson is a charlatan House Speaker. He is the presumed Speaker because his party holds something like a four seat majority in the House.
But. He. Doesn’t. Have. It. To the best of my recollection, in the last 100 years, there has been one successful discharge petition filed on the House floor that actually succeeded. There have been three in the last ten months. Attorney General Pam Blondi is sh*tting barbed wire bricks because enough GOP members joined the Democrats to force the DOJ to unseal the Epstein Files. There is a rock solid base of 6-8 GOP House members that are secure enough in their own seats that they are willing to buck Traitor Tot and the House leadership.
The math is excruciatingly simple. Johnson has a four seat majority. But he has a 6-8 seat bloc of renegades who won’t vote for stupid and insane Trump inspired GOP bills that make them look bad at home. And Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries knows that he has a solid GOP bloc of votes he can call on to support common sense legislation that will make them look good at home.
Which makes Hakeem Jeffries the House Speaker in every way but the gavel. I wrote this several months ago, but it bears repeating. Discharge petition will be the coin of the realm in the House through the midterm election. Johnson can’t call idiotic GOP bills to the floor, because he can’t pass them. And Jeffries and the Democrats will continue to propose common sense legislation to the floor, and then put it up for a discharge petition. And the lower Traitor Tot’s popularity sinks in the polls, and the more tightly he marries himself to his loser agenda, the more purple seat GOP House members will sign on to the discharge petitions, to burnish their street creds at home.
I want to say one more thing. Traitor Tot’s speech clocked in tonight at just over two hours, the longest SOTU in American history. To which I can only reply, So the f*ck what? Even I could stand at a podium and speak for two hours if all I did was to lie my ass off! Traitor Tot’s numbers will tank over the next ten days. And since the SOTU is historically the kickoff for the midterm elections, the lower he sinks, the more vulnerable GOP incumbents will start to reconsider their loyalties. Don’t touch that dial.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
