Let's be abundantly clear about what the wheezing, deflating orange balloon allegedly did [1]

Hey, you’re a hip alligator, you already have the data dump. Link link link.
Let’s just be clear about what this wheezing, deflating orange balloon did. He’s a buffoon who displays, let’s say “extreme Adderral energy” and pants that appear to contain adult diapers (hey, as an aging American, there’s no shame in a bad prostate. But I’ll bet it pisses that son of a bitch off people notice, so fuck him). He had a TV show that for some awful reason people found entertaining. When that lost steam, he looked for some bold publicity stunt to gin up some ratings.
Well shoot, the dumbest possible person, a child his own mother would leave town to avoid, an imbecile with yuge daddy issues so on-the-nose an AI scriptwriter could nail it, a habitual liar and role-playing charlatan who appears to have formed their entire knowledge of planet Earth around a handful of movies and the “Central Casting” responsible for the (predominately white) faces in them (one of his favorites allegedly Sunset Boulevard, where I’m confident the themes elude him) found himself President of the United States.
Pause for screams of existential terror.
Anyway, this unloved, wretched horror show and physical manifestation of the David Lynch-observed dark underbelly of America found himself in a treasure trove of hundreds of years of human effort and achievement. This, uh... reasonable (I suppose) approximation of a “human” (but most definitely an all-caps “M-A-N”) found himself like Smaug in the storage closet of a Chuck E. Cheese’s where the rolls of winning game tickets are kept, and allegedly helped himself. According to the Jack Smith indictment, the evil twin of John Barron grabbed all the goods his grubby, tiny, small, almost-imperceptible-to-the-naked-eye fingers could and stuffed them down his adult diapers.
Did this sad! man allegedly do this because he wanted to resell information? Time will tell. Did he allegedly do this because he wanted to feel important, to impress his friends? Time will tell. Did he allegedly simply need his precious? As my least favorite president said about 10,387 times, “We’ll see what happens.”
Let’s be clear here at the start, in terms of what’s alleged. Those goodies he stuffed in his drawers? Those files hold information where literal lives are on the line. Blood has been spilled in some cases to get it — an abhorrent thought to begin with, made obscene by one ignorant buffoon’s careless disregard for that real cost (or any future consequences).
Was this filthy beast only thinking of this informations potential value? Considering how often he’s been routinely accused of not paying contractors for their work, I’ve a feeling I know how the former guy views “costs.”
We’ll find out.
What I do hope is that at the end of the day, common sense prevais and someone who should convicted of such brazen crimes as this in our more, oh… let’s call it a “civilized age,” should get the appropriate punishment. Here, that’s being fired out of a Jackass! cannon into the sea. The guilty can swim any direction after splashdown, but not back here.
Hey, I know some of you are enjoying yourself right now, but don’t feel too smug. The Venn diagram of Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan are far tighter than most think, and there are no shortage of theocratic authoritarians who want to send us back to the stone ages like their Taliban soulmates.
And for those who crow “this news proves no one is above the law,” blah blah blah. Clarence Thomas says, “hold my beer.” Behind is Harlan Crow, who I can only imagine would retort, “Hold my Justice.”
So yeah — we still have justice issues. Sure, a lower-case former “president” has been indicted on Federal charge. Hooray.
Yet the only reason this is happening now is because this particular filthy beast is the dumbest, most incompetent loser this country has ever produced and has no friends left to protect him. He begged for this, and now he’s going to get it.
Tax Musk. Fund grown-ups. Get a different result.
Okay, I’m through. See you in the comments, and have a great weekend.
