August 11, 2022: At Fever Pitch, Aping Disgustus, Vein Needs Needle

 

It has been three days since the famous ‘raid at Mar-a-Lago’ and the maggots are at a fever pitch.  At least it seems if one is snorkeling in the cesspools of anti-social media.

To date, only Chris Christie the former Governor of New Jersey has, among ReSCUMlickan elected officials, come to the defense of the Department of Justice and the FBI. 

 Deep in the bowels of the paranoid ‘wrong’, calls are heard for a new civil war or, perhaps, revolution as they squeal like pigs claiming grievous injustice and outright persecution. 

 The leadership, if one dares call it that, of the ReSCUMlickan Party, ever anxious to genuflect to political idiocy, rushes to the front of the mob. In endless and disgusting servility, the spokesmen of the party clamor to the vanguard appearing to be leading; aping Disgustus’ claims of persecution and accusing the DOJ and FBI of weaponizing and politicizing justice.  Many mouthpieces of the idiot wrong have called for mass demonstrations as if to compound the crimes of Disgustus’ last days in office. 

 Last night Lawrence O’Donnell put it in perspective.  In his MSNBC broadcast he quite rightly pointed out that the great unwashed have instead chosen to stay home.  O’Donnell in a Last Word segment pointed out that about 6 million Floridians voted for Caesar Disgustus in the last presidential election.  Of those 6 million a good million are within easy walking or driving distance from where tRUMP has taken refuge.  Of those million or so, perhaps a few dozen have shown up to demonstrate their undying support. The country has stayed home.

 And for good reason.  The ‘wait and see’ posture taken by the country comes as allegations of serious criminality looms like a pregnant storm on the immediate horizon. 

 Everyone knows that Merrick Garland is cautious.  Indeed, he has been and will continue to be taken to task in these columns for demonstrable tardiness.  But mainstream media is now ratcheting up the pressure.  For instance, former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough now refers to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, as an open fascist coup d’état, an observation now in accord with what I have been writing for now a year and a half.  Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner has repeatedly voiced his frustration with Garland and the DoJ as the wheels of justice turn at snail’s pace. 

 Disgustus is right about one thing, the execution of a search warrant on a former president of the United States is indeed unprecedented.  But this is in part a response to an administration rife with unprecedented criminality.  If, as tRUMP charges, the United States is here exhibiting the behavior of a banana republic it is because he and his party have brought us here. 

 You know it is serious when Disgustus screams that the FBI ‘planted evidence’.  tRUMPspeak translated this means that evidence exists and was seized.  Had there been nothing to get hung about, Disgustus would simply have dismissed and belittled the exercise, giving credence to his charges of overreach and persecution.  But Disgustus knew he was in possession of serious materials that warranted a serious response and so, ever the liar, he now claims that the evidence has been planted knowing full well that his paranoid followers—ever in need of a conspiracy fix—would lap it up. The teabaggers and the Jesus junkies need this fix like a vein need a needle.  Without it the pain would overcome their consciousness, if not their consciences. 

 Garland, for his part, responded to the nonsense spewing from Maggotland by holding a news conference this afternoon at which he announced that he had petitioned the court to unseal the search warrant as well as the petition for such warrant as it pertained to last Monday’s execution.  tRUMP, having been left a copy of said document, could easily have released the documents himself if his claims of outrageous government overreach are valid.  But he has not done so.  Learning from the Mueller fiasco, Justice has come to understand that you cannot let the scum wrestle command of the proceedings.  Accordingly, Garland announced that the DoJ and FBI are petitioning the court to release the documentation because of overriding public interest.  Inquiring minds want to know.

 The proof is in the pudding, and the country awaits the results.  Is it half or wholly baked?

 

An Br’er Putin, he jus’ laugh and laugh.
