Talk about a defendant waxing irrelevant, immaterial, and incompetent. On ‘Truth’ Social this week (yes, in all-caps), voila: the apex of lordly, un-American self-entitlement. Hear ye, hear ye, King Donald decrees
ANY MISTAKE [ON MY PART]…. EVEN EVENTS THAT “CROSS THE LINE,” MUST FALL UNDER TO-
TAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD.
Translation: ‘Whatever I do, it’s all good! Don’t seize me; appease me! Don’t worry, be happy! Don’t get your knickers in a knot over evils I look to have perpetrated! Dealing with them can only be a major drag!
‘Remember when I claimed power to “do whatever I want, as President?” Well, I hereby extend that autocracy/immunity to cover crimes involved in OBTAINING power, too! And, conversely, to all I may do for the rest of my natural life (and then some)! BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!’
While Trump may sneer at accountability, we can’t help but smile at his (for now) coming a-cropper. ‘Look, look!’ we cluck. ‘A judge says “Sit,” and down he sinks! He looks old, jowly, sleepy, orange, obese! So, who’s afraid of the big, bad Don? No, no, no, not I!’
Or not. Don’t look now, but hush money paved his road to power; he wasn’t paying to silence Stormy Daniels just so Melania wouldn’t resolve his penchant for offshore drilling and pitch a snit.
Throughout his storms of skullduggery (in office and elsewhere), our faith in America's guardrails has endured. Trouble was (and is), those rails themselves have miserably failed us.
So, here we are. Against a creditable, high-minded, decent incumbent, the Grab-o-Matic (of power and of “p****”) Big Blonder STILL rides high in the polls. Granted, in court, he's been known to drop off. But so what? In 2016, after admitting (on tape) to a history of habitual carnal assault, he defeated (who else?) a creditable, high-minded, decent Dem.
Oy. Better late than never- given how history tends to repeat- can we please stop falling asleep at the switch???
