As we wait for Trump’s former criminal lawyer to explain, under oath to a federal judge in Florida, why Trump’s suit as a private citizen, against an executive branch agency he controls, was not conspiracy to commit a fraud on the court, I am reminded of a couple of Trump’s other “under the radar” frauds. This one in Florida is a huge one: $1,776,000,000 fund to pay rioters and klansmen and part two — retroactive immunity for Trump, family and all associates for any IRS audits. Today is the deadline for Blanche to put in writing how this “settlement” wasn’t a fraud on the court — and the American people. Now on to two low-flying, but stinking, Trumpish frauds nobody has done anything about.
I know it seems impossible that an American president would lie about an assassination attempt on himself, perhaps even set it up himself, but that pre-convention shots fired at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally has always had a very bad smell. It did to me at the time, immediately. The suspicious timing of it, itself, was highly suspicious, as was every other detail. Of course, Trump exploited his enraged rhetorical ecosystem to ensure his fake enemies would be too cowed to publicly question, let alone denounce, the stunt that left his bullet scarred ear intact. To suggest that a man, even Donald Trump, would stage a deadly shooting seemed indecorous and disgusting — we all condemn gun violence and have a cultural instinct to support the victims who survive it. Trump has won many rounds of the propaganda war this way, preemptively accusing his enemies of things he’s planning, conspiring to do, carrying out secretly while crowing about the transparency of his criminal regime.
Have you looked at the ear that was sliced (or smeared with fake wrestling blood behind the podium when Secret Service took him to the ground) when God stretched out His mighty arm to spare His chosen presidential candidate by a fraction of an inch and merely kill one of the faceless supporters seated behind him? The killing of that Trump supporter (I wonder if the dead man’s family got a fraction of what rioter Ashley Babbitt’s mom and Mike “Lock ME UP!!” Flynn got) was needed to prove deadly fire, rather than staged fake deadly theatrics, and the man’s death established the deadliness of the shots fired, without a doubt.
Them was deadly bullets that whizzed by POTUS 45 — without touching him, of course, because God protects Christ’s representative on earth (millions of the faithful actually believe this shit with unalterable faith). Then the young assassin, known to be a poor marksman, seconds after he fired the deadly shot, was shot multiple times in the head, blowing his head completely off his body, and shortly thereafter, cremated. No medical records on the “near fatal” shooting of the former (and sickeningly future) president. No investigation, nothing thing to see here. Only respect and sympathy from his high minded opponents for a man “almost killed”. Check out his fucking ear.
The same goes for Trump Magic Ear’s miraculous, God-delivered victory in all seven swing states in 2024. For a candidate who didn’t win 50% of the vote to take all seven swing states, by virtually identical margins just above the margin that triggers an automatic recount, would take a miracle — or some kind of high tech manipulation of electronic voting data. He won a few swing states where he was the only Republican on the ballot to win anything. The state elected all Democrats, and still, Trump, by a margin that triggered ! If that isn’t proof of God’s will, I don’t know what is.
The problem in the fight between decent people and indecent ones is that cheating psychopaths have a huge public perception advantage. You can’t question a fake assassination, or a highly suspicious rigged election, without looking like the very psychopath you oppose, somehow. I don’t really get it at this point, when the man who told 30,000 documented lies during his first administration now hits that total every week, but there it is, somehow.
You don’t fight bullies by becoming like them, you fight them by standing up, looking them in the eye, calling them out for the violent cowards they are. The bully’s terror is being unable to get people to fear him. I understand the fear of a powerful bully with an army of heavily armed goons and a goon squad of debased, unethical lawyers and other enablers. I get the reluctance of good people to be subjected to the hideous reprisals, including lawsuits designed to target you as an enemy and bankrupt you. Having these petty, illegal, occasionally murderous, acts done in his name delights someone like Trump. He can dish them out in massive portions, with no fear for himself since lackeys are always in the line of fire, physically and metaphorically, and the only bullets that will ever come near him are the ones he himself arranges in his pro-wrestling fake “Reality TV” presidency.
Another recent shot of the ear, and America’s incredibly weak “strong man”:
In the words of the great George Lopez — fuck that puto.
