The Trump cultists were extremely touchy last night on Twitter. One of them took the time to point out how ugly my Twitter pic was. We went through something similar back when I first started this blog. Lots of Obama trolls popped in to tell us how fat and unattractive we all were, as if telling us how unfuckable they think we are, while simultaneously telling us how they would rape us to death, would make us feel bad about ourselves and make us go away.
Ok. Whatever. I don’t know why beta males think this works anymore. I’m still going to tell you what I think.
There was something different about the outrage last night. It didn’t come from a place of genuine fury because someone had taken away their rights like the Dobbs decision did to women. That is, unless you count the right to hold Trump up as some kind of 21st century Jesse James or other outlaw anti-hero who keeps getting away with it.
Yeah, their dude wasn’t weak like Brandon. Until he was raided by the FBI. We clearly have different definitions of weakness. Brandon’s just minding his own business, presidentin’, keeping calm and carrying on while everyone around him is losing their sh#%. A man who had the ability to lower my blood pressure after 4 years of non-stop chaos to the point of postural hypotension is a pretty powerful man.
Then the MAGA Twitter brigade did what every single one of them has ever done when confronted by an unpleasant reality about Trump. They blamed it on us:
Brandon is a loser. It’s a partisan hit job. You people are snobs. You’re ugly.
Oooo, touchy. It’s like being on a playground in elementary school. Like mature adults who expect better from their leaders are going to be taken aback by some mean and small minded twerps calling us names.
Get it through your lazy, Limbaugh soaked brain cells. This is only a partisan issue in the sense that the Republican controlled senate had two opportunities to stop him and chose to look the other way. They left it for the new administration to follow up just so people like YOU would react just the way you did last night. You’re being manipulated.
WHAT did the FBI take from Mar-a-Lago and WHY did they seize it? Those were the only questions they should have been talking about. Those were the questions than exactly zero Trumpers asked on Twitter last night. Not one of them expressed any curiosity whatsoever about the contents of the boxes taken from that safe. None of them said, well if was so harmless or insignificant, why was it in a safe at Mar-a-lago? Not one MAGA hat who is so determined to drag us back to the glorious 1950s had any interest whatsoever about the contents of those boxes.
Well, we don’t know the definitive answer to that yet but it sounds like there is classified information that presidents get to see that almost no one else in the world gets to see. And that’s the classified stuff might have been locked up in Trump’s safe.
Classified information that is so secret that the US Government is forbidden to acknowledge that it exists. That kind of classified information might have the ability to compromise the national security of the United States and other countries around the globe. If it fell into the wrong hands, it could be used for extortion purposes or petty acts of revenge. It could be very dangerous.
There are few things I can think of that would cause a gun shy Merrick Garland to sign off on a raid on a former president’s personal residence less than 100 days out from a major election. The person who signs off on that has a really good reason for risking political upheaval and the prospects of armed to the teeth MAGA nuts roaming the streets.
You only do that when there’s something enormous on the line. Something uglier than a Twitter pic of a woman growing her hair back after chemo.
Something that is so big that it rattles the dedicated Trump supporter to their very bones and makes them squeak out little things like “Brandon is weak!!” because confronted with the truth, that’s the best they can do. So what if Brandon is weak and old. At least he hasn’t betrayed the nation with the classified information he has.
We can’t say the same about Trump yet.
If he has betrayed us and put all of our lives at risk, I think that might have the potential of making even the most religious MAGA hat throw up a little in their mouths before they vote for him again.
WE didn’t cause that. Trump did.
********
A couple of other perhaps meaningless and unrelated things happened recently that have my tin foil antenna twitching.
About six weeks ago, Garland made an unannounced visit to Ukraine to investigate war crimes.
About 4 weeks ago, there was a hastily called meeting with members of Congress in the SCIF. Can’t find the link. Does anyone remember this?
Recently, Zelenskyy fired a lot of people from his security ministries.
I squirreled those events away in the back of the head in the “Curious” category. They might be nothing but my elves are already busily constructing a scenario where someone in Ukraine had access to information that they shouldn’t have had.
