Achtung, y’all!
One thing I learned back in my college days* was if your enemy is walking into an L shaped ambush let them walk all the way into the kill zone before firing. They have two choices, run and die or stand and die.
This Administration is running headlong into an L shaped ambush formed by the Democratic led House of Representatives and public opinion and it is done.
Trump can stonewall, whine, accuse, demand, plead and threaten... and what? Only his truly hardcore cult members refuse to see this guy isn’t fit for the office. He could light himself afire before he is impeached and those would cheer him for owning the libs.
The MAGA folks love it when he does some nasty shit that owns the libs but when they see him sell out our Kurdish ‘allies’ to our Turkish allies those folks are gonna have to wonder in which of his allied camps do they stand. If they have half a brain they’ll finally realize they ain’t in the Right camp because they ain’t J.P. Gotrocks and they’re right there with the rest of the people Trump considers to be losers. Unfortunately most of his non-wealthy supporters aren’t that smart.
It was inevitable America would end up in this situation because white America selected a stupid and venal asshole (whose only accomplishment in life was being born rich) to replace Barack Obama who is the very embodiment of the American Dream... except he is black.
Trump is the poor man’s idea of what wealth looks like and the loser’s view of winning and he isn’t black.
He’s bullied, bought and bankrupted his way through life and for the first time ever his modus operandi isn’t gonna work and he is panicked.
You know the shit is deep by the excruciatingly stupid excuses being made out loud by the few remaining GOP sycophants unashamed to lie in public.
In a September 23, 2016 article for The Atlantic Salena Zito wrote:
“It’s a familiar split. When he makes claims like this, the press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.”
Peter Thiel, tech billionaire and Trump supporter said in October 2016,
“I think one thing that should be distinguished here is that the media is always taking Trump literally. It never takes him seriously, but it always takes him literally. ... I think a lot of voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally...their question is not, ‘Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?’ ...What they hear is we’re going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy.”
Last week Jim Jordan said Trump was joking when he asked China to investigate the Biden boys. “You really thank he was serious?” During the 2016 campaign we were told to take Trump seriously but not literally. Now we’re being told not too take him seriously... he’s a bad joke... got it?
Stick a fork in this bastard, he’s done. This ‘strategy’ of putting his fingers in his ears and yelling incoherent bullshit while his sycophants stonewall with stupid process arguments in court is coming to a close. One charge in one jurisdiction or another is going to crack the dam and the flood of provable crimes will wash away America’s Trump Error.
The GOP donor class has used him and the complicit Republican Party to squeeze the last petro buck out of the earth and in the process destroyed traditional alliances and caused worldwide chaos. He didn’t quite get them everything they wanted (world wide authoritarian plutocracy) but he got them enough (massive redistribution of wealth upward and a stacked federal judiciary) for now.
The GOP and Trump have hit the point of diminishing returns and so they are no longer viable.This is going to be Watergate, ABSCAM and Iran-Contra all rolled into one and the GOP as a party should not survive.
What’s next will be a test of the American people across all demographics for do we continue on the path the Founders set us upon to create a more perfect union, or will we take the road towards Steve Bannon’s vision of a Fourth Reich?
I’m betting on the USA .
