What will you wear to Tuesday's revolution?
What is Melania going to wear to the arrest of her husband Donald for his alleged misdeeds and crimes committed while paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels, with whom he had sex, while Melanie was recovering from the birth of the young man Donald calls “Melania’s son?”
Will she wear something saucy like she wore to the migrant detention center back in 2018?
I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U? That does seem to be the question at hand. The Trumps — if I understand their position — are very upset right now, and are calling for violence and revolution. Some MAGA luminaries have been dressing for that since the beginning.
Here is some great journalism and detective work from CNN during the Trump era. Don Lemon isn’t just a morning show host, but a detective as well. It’s amazing when watching this to realize it actually happened:
And then there’s this guy. This guy actually worked in the White House:
He has a fake PhD, and is wearing a Nazi medal from a Hungarian fascist party. His name is Sebastian, like the cat, and he sells fish oil supplements on late-night grifter TV.
He could be head of the Secret Police in any future Trump regime, which seems to be zeroing in on an electoral strategy according to The Washington Post.
The Washington Post bestowed anonymity on a Trump crony in this story, and the result was this amazing quote:
Another longtime Trump adviser was blunter, describing the view among Trump advisers that the indictment is “political gold in a primary” and “definitely political gold for fundraising.”
No one wants to get indicted, but if you are going to get indicted, do you know how much that picture is worth in a primary, for ads and for fundraising?” this person said.
Trump is hoping for a nice mugshot picture, the equivalent of “gold” in the GOP/MAGA primary. His strategy is a mugshot. Some people say that America is not decaying and rotting from within. They would be very wrong.
The Washington Post story takes the reader inside Mar-a-Lago at supper time right after the indictment announcement has been made. Trump was dining with Melania and the talk radio punk Mark Levin, an angry and bitter talk radio lifer, who had long grasped for attention within the extremist sewer. His career resembles what would have been possible for Sean Hannity’s other pets — if only they could talk.
The American media has reported the looming arrest of Trump as both a historic occasion and a coming confrontation. The newspapers are filled with ominous stories about New York City ordering every single police officer to report to work in uniform. The court house is being secured lest it be assaulted like the Capitol of the United States after words from Trump that are eerily similar.
America’s most prolific liars, including the disgraced Tucker Carlson, Suzanne Scott, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters, Elise Stefanik and Kevin McCarthy, have all thundered their approval for Trump’s violent incitements, threats and madness against the American justice system generally, and DA Alvin Bragg, specifically. Everyone from Lindsey Graham to MTG seems ready for showtime.
The American media, which has long hyped every detail of disagreement on complex policies into MMA-style conflict, is beside itself with joy and glee at the impending events. Will Trump be handcuffed? What will the mugshot look like? Will he be angry? Will the Secret Service agents live in a cell with him? Will he wear an ankle bracelet? Gag order? Oh my.
What if though, there is something off about all of the prognostications predicting Trumpageddon? What if the prognosticators are wrong about the nature of the coming event? What if no one cares? Maybe the show we have all been watching is every bit as concocted as Trump’s election delusions and fantasies of winning. Maybe the performative outrage of talk radio, The Daily Wire and Charlie Kirk are more evidence of strange performance art and media corruption than anything else. Perhaps Trump is waterskiing Fonzie who jumped the shark years ago, but remains on air because he is the only show left in the inventory.
Maybe Trump is a great chimera that is about to disperse like a cloud on a sunny day in a clear blue sky. What if the protest crowds are small, passionless, contrived and indifferent? What if most of America doesn’t really care, and is ready to move on from the current sewer? Is it possible? It is.
No doubt Trump’s arrest will titillate the erogenous zones of the Trump Industrial Complex and surrounding media companies, but what if everyone else in America is too busy to care? What if the reaction to Trump’s mugshot is an unsurprised yawn. One thing is for sure: the first merchandise will start to appear moments after it is taken.
The American people will not tolerate Donald Trump’s return to power — ever. The Republican Party though remains in his grip. Its most appalling moments lie ahead, and that it is quite a thing to comprehend.
Whatever happens on Tuesday it will be tawdry and cheap. Donald Trump will never have a presidential library, and no president will ever hang his portrait in the White House. His arrest on Tuesday will have to suffice. He has achieved his ambition: everyone will be looking at Donald Trump, all at once. Then people will start looking away, one by one. His trials will become tedious and boring. By the time he is standing in a federal courtroom cold and lonely without the glow of a TV camera the show will be over. The suicide charge of a political party demanding Trump — or else — will be soon forgotten as Trump slides into a raging oblivion, where he is forgotten by the media who feasted on him until the end.
We’ll see what happens…
We see patients at the clinic on Tuesdays so I won't be watching useless news reports. I'll be providing care and comfort to women who have chosen, for whatever reasons, to discontinue their pregnancies. (The last thing I care about is the traitors' mugshot or what his callous wife chooses to wear.) I'm sure the protesters will be in rare form Tuesday, so safety will be a priority for staff and patients.
Can't wait until the circus is over.
I am applauding. Thank you. We needed to hear this. Yes, personally I cannot wait until doofus disappears from all my screens once and for all and becomes nothing but the distant memory of that annoying gnat at the beach, so long ago.
