Let me put this as plainly as possible, I don’t give a flying fuck if Tish James puts a diaper pail full of “Context McYamTit’s” shit stained Depends on the front lawn of the first property she seizes of his and then proceeds to auction it off live on Newsmax.
I don’t care if she gathers up all the socks he spanked off into while crying out his daughter-wife’s name and forever uses them as units of measurement on the fairways at Trump National.
“Wow, that’s quite the shot from Tiger… whaddya guess there Greg, around 60 spunk-socks, 65?”
I don’t care if every ounce of his gaudy gilded garbage gets melted down during the Super Bowl halftime show and turned into a statue of Rosie O’Donell giving him the double-barreled-middle-finger before the damn thing gets parked for eternity next to the buffet line at Mar-a-Lago.
I don’t care what it “makes people feel” I don’t care about the “impression” or the “appearance” of any of it, because frankly, I have had enough of EVERYONE ELSE caring about how holding Trump accountable for his crimes and transgressions “looks.”
Beyond the satisfaction I personally take from his epic misfortune, I simply don’t care about the “optics”, and no one in a position of power should either. Ain’t that how we ended up here to begin with, at least in part?
And if you’re wondering why I’m ranting about this now, when he’s FINALLY actually being held accountable for some of the terrible shit he’s done, it’s this:
The other day GOP pollster Frank Luntz said on CNN that seizing Trump properties will backfire:
“You’re going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024, and you’re going to elect Donald Trump.”
And I’d like to talk about that for a minute.
Because, to put it as gently as possible, fuck that.
I’m done giving a shit about how holding Trump accountable “appears.” I’m done letting him play the “victim” card. This is how we landed ourselves in a reality where a 91-times charged traitor tells his worshippers that he fucked a porn star and paid her to shut up about it with campaign money “for them” and they BELIEVE it.
If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me that “charging Trump would do more harm than good”, I’d be able to pay his fraud case bond right now. “It’ll do irreparable harm.” They said. To which I would respond that NOT charging him would do much more harm than charging him ever could.
And look, I don’t know what I don’t know. And I confess that I’ve never gotten drunk with Merrick Garland despite the many, many times he’s offered, so I can’t say that he’s ever confessed over some shots of Patron that he slow-walked Trump’s indictments over fear of how “partisan” it would have appeared, but enough people who DO know what I don’t know, have said as much. And that very well may be tantamount to the end of American democracy as we know it (we’re not going to let it be) but, as we’ve now seen, like my mom at the end of the night at a closing restaurant would linger over the same damn glass of Rosè for so long the waitresses would vacuum under her feet, Lady Justice is taking her sweet-ass time getting the trials Trump is facing underway. And no, it’s not her fault, she’s got a rapist business fraud holding one hand down, and the bulk of the Supreme Court holding down the other.
