I guess that Donald Trump isn’t all that involved in the festivities of Christmas. Or, maybe that was Melania’s choice. Maybe she decided that if the Big Drag was out of the room, that maybe other people could enjoy a moment or two of cheer and bonhomie.
He’s back on set and fuming. He’s fuming so bad, that the smoke coming out his ears has melted his makeup. You think I jest? Look at his orange face and white ears. You tell me how they got that way. In any event, as I said earlier today, I believe that this is his focus for the 2024 election. He’s got to go full anti-government, full grievance. The only problem is, that isn’t going to work like it did in 2016 because he’s no longer the outsider with all the great, innovative ideas.
No, he’s the former president who was soundly defeated because his administration was such a “disaster” to use his favorite word. Be that as it may, here’s another campaign ad.
Trump denounces the J6 report, says the Committee is all “marxists” who covered up that FBI informants in the crowd instigated it and police opened the doors and let everyone in. Says the search at Mar-a-Lago was illegal, & Jack Smith, his family & friends are all Trump haters. pic.twitter.com/KGqvPR4YiO

This is plain psychosis. It’s also the basic script for what you’re going to be hearing throughout his “campaign.” I put it in quotes, because campaigns are events where candidates get out in the country and pitch their plans and ideas and get people excited, wanting to follow them and be a part of great things ahead. At least, that’s the ideal.
This is almost an anti-campaign, because there are no ideas or policies here, nothing and nobody to follow, only the blathering of an alienated old man, who is crushed, simply crushed, because his particular brand of bullshit is not working out like it used to.
Everything is illegal. Everything is unconstitutional. Everything is dishonestly cobbled together by people with dark intent towards Trump.
Who wants to listen to this crap?
I can’t wait to see how the polls shake down in about two weeks, a month certainly. If this is his strategy, it is kamikaze time. Maybe that will become a new topic in political science, “the kamikaze politics of Donald Trump.” If you can’t win an election, just go down in flames, screaming, kicking your heels, turning red, and waiting for the men in the white coats to show up.
I can’t wait for January 3 and the new House to get into session. Trump’s goal is to weaponize the House, it’s all he’s got. It should be a real mind phuque. If the GOP is stupid enough to let him have control, then they were lose, yet again, in 2024. Great. Let the good times roll.
Give baby huey some slack. He thinks a Marxist is someone who misuses a sharpie pen! Damn cartoonists!
Will never get used to it. I lived being gaslit for 63 fucking years by my mother. 45 causes me PTSD. His lips move, he lies. For the sake of democracy, he must be indicted, prosecuted and imprisoned. POTUS or not. My concern: he will plea. He will not run for office and that’s it. Not good enough. If that occurs, he also must not be allowed to use the media in any way, shape or form, to lie, which still attacks democracy. If he does – immediate arrest.
I was where you were once myself…my bio father for me, 38 years. Being around Trump stirred up the bad memories for me too…until I noticed exactly how much the latter was like my old man. The key similarity: an inability to learn or admit wrongdoing. That’s why the man who made my childhood hell blew his retirement, burned down his house and has nothing left. It’s moving way slower but Trump’s heading down the same crash landing approach.
That’s how I know Mango Mussolini won’t plead. He can no longer even fight. And his usefulness to others is done (well, except to us Dems but that’s a different kind of useful). Assuming he lives long enough to catch all the hell coming to him (and this is one of those times we should be grateful for his presidential healthcare in that respect), he’ll go down screaming “Do you know who I am?” the whole way. It will never occur to him that’s the problem in a nutshell.
While I understand the desire for swift vengeance, the slow variety is the right kind here. We both know all too that the longer it lasts, the more it hurts. For what this man has done, is any less deserved?
To quote princess bride …. “To the pain” I thank you for your opinion…. I was in that swift justice thought process but I like the idea of slow and painful.
Bare…more common ground. My old man was a violent drunk. A doctor jekyll /Mr Hyde monster from Appalachia. Until I went to UNC it was a daily dose of when will the werewolf show? When he didn’t drink, he was a different man. My childhood was guns, knives, occasionally beatings and ongoing rages. Eventually my sweet Baptist mom who was a true believer had to put two 38 slugs into him with his own gun while I was living in Massachusetts. Didn’t kill him immediately…he was the toughest SOB. I now realize him running away at age 15 and joining the military, (my grandma lied to get him in), and running with adults started him on the road to alcoholism at a time no one understood how dangerous that drug is. There was no one to call, all the law in our town were his drinking buddies. So it was a day to day survival game. I think it’s why my heart goes out to any suffering child and have no tolerance for those who cause it. Hang in there. As Danzel Washington said in Man On Fire, there is no such thing as tough. There’s trained and untrained. I’m afraid you and I started our training early. I call it battle tested. Merry Christmas!
I really really want him charged, tried, convicted, and jailed for the rest of his life. With read-only social media.
Then good news, PJ. For a man his age, five to ten years is practically a life sentence. The DOJ can manage that much and far more.
