My first 2:47 a.m. Wednesday observation is that we need a word to replace the overused and often misused “surreal.”
Not everything is “surreal.” And even fewer things are “ironic.”
But some things are in fact “tired.” That would include Trump’s worn-out act.
“Those are my documents.”
No, they’re not. The law could not be any clearer.
“I had an absolute right to those documents.”
No, you didn’t.
“Jack Smith is demented!” “He does political hit-jobs for a living!”
Really? Smith is a registered independent, has frequently gone after Democrats and has never donated to a Democratic campaign.
“This is election interference by Joe Biden!”
There is not the slightest evidence to even suggest that. Quite the contrary. Republicans have provided virtually all of the evidence supporting indictable offenses in this and other Trumpian scandals, current and pending.
“The Mar-a-Lago search was unconstitutional!”
Nope. It was legally authorized.
“I’ve done nothing wrong!”
Blank stare from me.
“I did everything right!”
Only if by “everything” you mean nothing.
Oh, and you know what is admirable about co-defendant Walt?
Nauta damn thing.
If “practice makes perfect” then Trump’s attorneys (whoever they are at a given moment) are going to get plenty of “reps.” We haven’t even gotten to Jan. 6 and election fraud yet. Those lawyers will have this arraignment thing down pat pretty soon.
Of all the lame defenses put forth by Trumpers, the lamest is,”I don’t always like his behavior, but I liked his policies.”
Policies? POLICIES? What policies?
Policies involve planning, consistency, philosophical foundation and national benefit.
Policies? Donald Trump? He has no policies other than childish personal gratification.
“I liked his policies” sounds a lot like the bigot who opens with “I’m not prejudiced, but” right before launching into a racist tirade.
Cultists’ only “policy” demand is that Trump hates the same people they do. This has always been about White Supremacy, right from the jump.
It’s all so “surreal.”
One more thing. I invite you to scroll down the blog tag here at radicallyrational.com and read the excellent column provided by our partner Anthony Pittman on Mike Pence’s Chronic Spinelessness.
