it's been done

never having been a special fan of the presidency, and holding politicians as a class in even less esteem, the stench emanating from swamptown and its past and present residents is putrescent but not surprising...naked of any moral restraint there aren't all that many things these people are incapable of...and yet they still assume a false mantle of "public service" and expect the rest of us to believe it...that borders on criminal stupidity...which, it seems, there is no shortage of in the political caste here in the late empire...i have been perusing a copy of the federal indictment handed down against donny and, momentarily, i thought i had warped back fifty years ( yes i am old enough to rmember this stuff )...

if this doesn't scream "richard milhous nixon" ( and, incidentally validate the name of this blog ) at the top of it's lungs i'll eat my hat with no salt...i am surprised they didn't offer to submit "transcripts" of the documents or, in a reboot of the offer to let the stone deaf senator stennis listen to the nixon tapes, allow the most myopic senator available to shuffle through the hoard...providing they left their glasses at home...stonewalling is ineffective as a strategy...let donny be his brazen meglomaniac entitled thirteen year old self in his disdain for anything like being held accountable for his acts and see if that flies any better...of course he has his cadre of suporters ( although i haven't heard anything from that twerp linsey grahm as yet ) old margie greene has called the department of justice and the fbi "corrupt" and veers dangerouly close to calling a class of people vermin when she says "we must win in 2024. we must beat these sick people"...puts me in mind of aktion T4...

and this servile sycophant in what has to be the donny brigade uniform...right down to the long red "slimming" tie ( "it was a tainted, meanly obsequious age"...leave it to tacitus to nail it...he was talking about an empire as well ) says "president donald trump will be back in the white house and joe biden will be hunter's cellmate"...well...life is mostly about contingency and probablility...it may be possible...how probable? who knows what will crawl out from under a rock in the coming primaries...look what happened in 2016...we'll be empricists and wait and see...like the weather, predicting political outcomes is a tentative business at best...this low-rent saga continues and no one really knows where it will end up at...attitudes are hardening and doctinaire ideologues are ascendant...reason has run like the wind, screaming in the night.
