The fossil of the Rolling Stone says, “He got away with it!” And in a very narrow literal sense they are correct. But I ask you, do you really think you can kick history in the balls and “get away with it?” There was a nameless Roman Emperor once, who wheedled and schemed his way into becoming Emperor. Bribes, assassinations and blackmail. Having achieved his goal, he became immediately aware that someone else might try the same strategy. He couldn’t eat out of fear of being poisoned. He couldn’t sleep out of fear he would be murdered in his bed. Did he get away with it? Not for long.
Stalin killed millions in an insatiable desire to surround himself with trustworthy people. But since Stalin was himself untrustworthy that was quite impossible. You most admire those like yourself, so you would always surround yourself with the untrustworthy and ambitious. There is no other way as the rest would appear as dullards. In the end, Stalin’s cronies were afraid to get Stalin medical attention out of a fear he might recover and have them all executed. He got away with it.
Social media was recently all a twitter about the King’s new concubine. He’s been parading her around Mara a Low, low showing her off like a new car, like he just don’t care. Crudely explained as dude, “don’t shit where you eat!” The King’s future ex-wife Malaria responds, she thinks Elon is a nice man. Uh oh. Did he get away with it? SEE: Hell, hath no fury.
It’s no accident the King surrounds himself with Knaves and fools. Place small men of limited capacity in large positions, and they’ll cause you no trouble. The King isn’t building a team. He’s building a supporting cast. He plans on doing it all himself. Matt Gaetz, Attorney General? A former heroin addict living in a van down by the river? A neo-Nazi TV presenter and a celebrity fraudster TV Doctor. The King ought to make at least one competent cabinet pick, if just for diversity.
They were chosen for what they won’t do. They won’t meddle in the King’s affairs. Newbies overjoyed at the prospect of fresh corruption and graft. Overwhelmed by sudden authority and prestige, saddled by incompetence, ineptitude and riddled with self-doubt. With Moe, Larry and RFK Jr. safely ensconced, what chances for a great success and that great leap forward we were all hankering for? Do you really think they’ll get away with it?
What the King really admires about Elon is his huge ego and his big mouth. The King for some reason, really admires those qualities in others. But like Romeo and Juliet this is a star-crossed relationship at best. Chances are somebody’s leaving soon and everyone’s going to be butt hurt about it. Now, knowing what we know about the King, like we do. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt the interests of a former friend now blood feud enemy, would he? If the King caught him say sneaking in the alley with say…Sally, or someone like Sally.
Poor, poor Rudy Giuliani America’s drunkest dumbass! America’s least wanted. (Alcohol is a drug children. Don’t do drugs.)He is about to be evicted from his 3.5-million-dollar luxury condo down the street from Mara low, low. In response, the King only draws the shades and turns up the stereo. His long, long time trusted friend and attorney who only got into this mess through alcohol abuse and by trusting the King. A lesson history teaches us again and again. Ernst Rohm was Der Fuehrer’s pal! He wouldn’t do that to him! Icarus flew too close to the sun. He didn’t get away with it. He may have gotten his picture on Led Zeppelin albums, but he didn’t get away with it.
Never you mind the Ides of March, fear every single day working in association with the King. There are so few street survivors left around to tell the tale. Watch your back and write down everything, no matter how insignificant it might appear at the time. “But I’m friends with the King!” The King says, he’s never heard of you!
Climb on in, this nest of vipers isn’t half full yet. Friends and gentlemen all! This train is bound for glory, right? What could possibly cause a derail now? History says this will play about like the 1962 Mets. Error a go, go! Fingers pointing in every direction. Paper towels to Puerto Rico and Bibles to Alabama and our whole army outfitted with one million pair of latest model in golden tennis shoes.
Age is funny, you remember certain eras by the passing fads of that era. Disco, pet rocks, air guitar, mechanical bulls and Elon Musk. I wouldn’t want to trade places with him. A world-wide meme of the billionaire idiot class, hitting the intelligence glass ceiling bouncing off and ricocheting towards obscurity. “Today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s fish wrapper.” Didn’t he use to be somebody? Sell by January 20th, 2025. There has to be something noble about a man who can make extreme wealth look so terrible.
After the King takes his oath of entitlement from the Chief Justice of the Cash Box court. His Deplorable ship then needs Elon about like he needs another big toe. Elon pisses off Congress. That’s the King’s job! Elon then moves like Rudy from asset to liability. Cassius has a lean and hungry look. Me thinks him too ambitious for the King’s liking. Never try to outshine the brightest star in front of the brightest star. And never smile at the gangster boss’s wife twice. SEE: Pulp Fiction.
“People should either be caressed or crushed. If you do them minor damage, they will get their revenge; but if you cripple them there is nothing they can do. If you need to injure someone, do it in such a way that you do not have to fear their vengeance.”
― Niccolo Machiavelli
