in the belly of the beast?

so will this bewigged wingnut ever see the "inside"...i have my doubts...he may be off the rails in manifold ways but he is of the elite and they have a tendency to protect their own...he masquerades as some sort of populist "outsider" but the truth is he is "one of them" ( which actually makes him part of the problem...the conspiracy theorists are apparently blind to this ..."men's minds, once unbalanced, are ready to belive anything"tacitus-"the annals of imperial rome"...he isn't going to do anything but aggrandize himself and roil the stench in "the swamp"...drain it? he will wallow in it )...let's think back a ways ( we could focus, for instance, on the drubbing the republicans took last november because of this bozo...and that would not be a bad thing to dwell on...however i am thinking of a depraved saga from a deeper palm beach elite past ) to the halcyion days of the first term of the reagan presidency when roxanne tried to trash pete pulitzer's reputation in a lurid divorce case that had sordid details about a trumpet and the fact the the pulitzers had, in 1981, spent $441,000 on the "miscellanious and unknown"...the "unknown" being alleged to be the finest blue-flake cocaine in florida...what happened? the hegemons ran that girl out of town and old pete's reputation was seriously re-habed...who remebers that? the hegemons closed ranks around their own and made "no comment"...add in a supreme court packed with characters either superannuated or nearly as unhinged as the disruptive ( and, one could add, obstructionist ) slime in congress and you have the makings of something of a whitewash...toss in the standard "trump plan b" of caling for violence and you have the next chapter in the decline of the late empire in your grasp...another dip in the behavioral sump of what tacitus would call "a tainted,meanly obsequious age"
