Trump Becomes Disposable [1]

Now comes, Ron DeSantis who also says, Trump’s election stories are all lies. Chris Christie, Will Hurd, Mike Pence and now, Ron DeSantis. The wind of change is rapidly becoming the majority blow, even among Republicans. Trump’s shell game of the innocent victim is slipping away without his pitiers and damn shamers to cheer him along. Trump’s circle of sycophants is suddenly stunningly shrinking.

But Ron DeSantis has his own slipping away problems. The incontinent state of Florida bans AP Psychology, because that bad old book discusses gender stuff and has ideas and opinions contrary to the governors. (Oh heavens, it cain’t be!) Talk about your snowflakes. Maybe next, the state will use the Outer Party members armed with an army of magic markers to black out all diagrams of genitalia in anatomy books because, ist Verboten. Siam is the largest country in the world! By order of the Emperor.

They’ve gone way passed misinformed and ill-advised and moved straight on down to stupid. If you were to make it your life’s work destroying a state’s economy, study Ron DeSantis. To business and industry this is no different than posting a sign at the state line, KEEP OUT!

Florida’s troubles go further than Reich’s fuhrer Ron. With his, my way or the irradiated highway. Yes, Ron wants to allow the use of irradiated toxic waste to pave the state’s highways. “It’s like getting a chest X-ray, while I’m driving home.” Well, maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic, but what about the asphalt workers themselves? The men and women who work around hot asphalt all day, forty plus hours a week.

Florida is just one big hurricane away from dead serious. A hurricane, we all know is coming and it’s only a matter of time, isn’t it? Have you seen the weather news out of China lately? A hurricane Katrina level event, with floods like you’ve never seen before. And when Beijing began to flood like New Orleans, officials blew up the levy.

Downstream, it meant ready or not children, here it comes. Downriver evacuations had to be suspended as they were now expendable. While America swelters, China drowns. I couldn’t help but notice the “You never know how good you got it, until someone else gets it worse irony.”

Yes, it is 118 degrees outside my house. But my car hasn’t been washed away and I still have a place to live. This storm broke a record rainfall amount over 140 years in the making. And guess what? There is another storm forming along the same track. Florida, are you listening? Roads and cars washed away, fortunes and futures washed away. How many dead only the CCP will ever know for sure. They might acknowledge a few dead, eventually.

China has invested billions in flood control, and it was all made utterly useless in the face of unimagined rainfall amounts. Warmer water temperatures help storms to grow and intensify. Florida, are you listening Florida? Whatever disaster plans are in place need to be reviewed after what just went on and is going on in China. Whatever the worst-case scenario, expect a third worse or even double the projections.

So, when property insurance companies pull out of Florida, it isn’t about being woke. It’s about staying afloat. You know, solvent! All without the dirty words “Climate Change” ever being spoken. Because that would be a thought crime. “No, it’s a, its ah, the current business conditions, Yeah and those replacement costs! Oh my yes, can’t forget those. Yeah, the current business conditions, the business conditions of climate change.”

Water temperatures in South Florida surged past coral bleaching and straight on to hot tub waters. But the state of Florida is worried about rewriting Black history and banning books, books filled with dirty words. Books filled with dirty pictures and dirty ideas. We shall ban them and hence, they will not exist anymore. By order of the Emperor!

Well, Trump proved me wrong again, and he didn’t waste any time at all in doing it. I said, Trump would make nice, even if just for a little while. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Less than 24 hours after a federal Judge lectured Trump about his mouth leakage problem. Trump says, “If you’re coming after me, I’m coming after you!”

Oh boy, do you need thick skin to be a Trump attorney or what? It’s like working for Keith Moon, the phone rings at three AM. Attorney reaches for their phone barely half-awake “He did what? When! Which Holiday Inn? I’ll be right down.”

The judge would be well within her rights to slap Trump into the hoosegow. Prosecutors are seeking a protective order from the judge. Don’t you get tired of it? It seems like every innocent man is always saying in all caps, “IF YOU’RE COMING AFTER ME. I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” That sure sounds like the unstructured ravings of an innocent man to me. At the very least, the Judge needs to admonish the defendant. That one more word, just one more word, and the sky will fall down upon him and go boom.

That’s just the problem when prognosticating on Trump. You can’t ever be sure who is upstairs driving at any given time. Is Sybil having a good day today? Are Trump’s raving threats the angry incessant blabbering of a spoiled three-year-old throwing a temper tantrum? Or a sophisticated method of testing the waters and testing the judge’s patience, while appearing an ignorant moron.

Is Trump mentally incapable of shutting up or is he only pretending to be mentally incapable of shutting up? He’s got to have that last word and telling Trump to shut his pie hole, is almost like challenging him to say something.

I feel certain Trump would like nothing better than to spend a weekend in jail, to throw out as red meat to his cult. Look what THEY did! To ME! They did this to ME! Can you believe it? They put me in jail! Not Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden. Can you believe it? And I didn’t do nothing, but to innocently speak my mind. (metaphorically at least) Trump wants to gum up the works and wants his trial moved to West Virginia, because they like Trump down there, and they don’t read much.

It is dangerous, as so recently was proven to me, attempting to predict Trump. But I saw one of these Sovereign Citizen types in court. And as he was spitting out the usual craziness, the judge ordered a psych examination to determine the defendant’s competency. And the report came back the defendant was a few brain eggs short of a full carton.

He reacted to verbal stimuli with a word salad. Like a parrot, with no conception of what he was saying. As the doctor read his report in court the defendant would cry out, “I object! That evidence is inadmissible under maritime law! I’ve made no contract with you!”

Trump’s own cabinet once considered using article 25 to remove Trump from office. Maybe it’s time for that competency hearing, huh?

Trump is hanging all his hopes on the Extreme Court clearing him of all 77 Federal charges. Does that sound like a rational thought to you? That the Supreme Court of the United States would hang themselves in order to clear Trump of all charges. That’s delusional wishful thinking and not rational. The Supreme Court would rule to save themselves first and always. Imagine for one minute, the Supreme Court of the United States vacating all 77 charges against Donald Trump. The public outcry would be astounding!

Whatever sympathies the Supreme Court may harbor for Citizen Trump. There is no upside for them in saving him, and so, Trump becomes disposable.
