Life of Wry

It’s probably important for posterity purposes to make sure my blog includes this artifact… a perfect representation of the trump-era version of America.. trump americana, if you will. If it’s filthy, amoral, illegal, unethical, ugly, vile, unprincipled, inhumane .. it’s a symbol of trump’s america.

He is one piece of shit, that tangle of pubic hair guy.

I know he’ll rot in hell and there is great satisfaction in that. But in the meantime, I hope this story just goes on and on and on and hope, especially, that it marks the beginning of the end for him.

I know. It won’t.

He’ll slither free, as he always does, escaping accountability. It should be a scandal as big as any other presidential scandal we’ve had. It should take him down. I mean, the President of the United States is best buddies with the most notorious sexual predator in US history. Who doubts that he was, at the very least, very well aware of what his buddy was up to all those years (it doesn’t take a cracker jack code cracker to decipher the above) and, at the very worst, partook of those heinous crimes himself. I have no doubt, I’ll just go on record with that.

I expect that at some point some incriminating information will come out and some men will finally be held accountable for the despicable crimes they committed and the lives they ruined. There has to be accountability. I don’t believe the public is going to let this one fade without that. But I do also believe that there is a very good chance trump will escape. Maxwell will lie, evidence will be lost or destroyed, the courts will somehow find a loophole for him to snake through. And his followers will believe whatever story he concocts, whatever fabrication his team serves up, and his media enablers will triple down on whatever that story line ends up being. Voila. Fake news. He skates free, changes the subject, returns his focus to Project 2025, continues his savage assault on our democracy, wins a Nobel Peace Prize, the world moves on.

But when/if those files are released — however redacted to protect him — do go ahead and imprison all the democrats who violated and abused one thousand girls. He’ll be the one to lock ’em up and throw away the key. And take all the credit for achieving justice.

(And absolutely, yes, do that!, imprison all who are guilty, whatever their political affiliation. But please, god, don’t leave trump behind.)
