Okay, not for nothin’ but I keep hearing MAGA cons say they need to install TRUE cons who will “fight for the people.” Rational Americans know that Fani Willis, Jack Smith, et al, ARE “fighting for the people.” What YOU mean is that you want people who will fight for YOU and you, alone. Not “the people.” Cons and their personal preferences. Period. FYI? That’s not the American way. You’re fighting against the American system. Still…

Hoo-boy! Letitia James has quite a case going, doesn’t she? It turns out, when one sets aside all the blather and bluster and just looks at paperwork and (here’s that evil word again) evidence, the trumpster overstated his wealth by somewhere between 17% and 39%, depending on the year. In dollars, that translates, roughly, as $812million to $2.2 Billion dollars. The “magic” of Trump, it seems, is in the depth of his brazenness. Rational people simply cannot accept that someone would so flagrantly lie, so easily, so egregiously, about so many things. Inflating one’s wealth by 2.2 BILLION dollars? I’m more surprised he hasn’t been caught before now…

But he IS caught now and rational Americans have caught on to his proclivity for prevarication. Hell, NOW it’s easy. If trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying. He denies all wrongdoing. Of course, he ALSO denies he lost the election and that he’s fat, two verifiable facts. His day in court is coming in October and I think his theft will become a THIRD verifiable fact.

Even Letitia James says that during those years, his net worth in any year between 2011 and 2021 was no more than $2.6 Billion dollars and “…likely considerably less if his properties were actually valued in full-blown professional appraisals.” The depth of insecurity in a person who feels the need to inflate their wealth because they “only” have $2.6 Billion dollars is inconceivable…

Holy gods, Mitch the Bitch locked up again. He was right in the middle of a presser and when asked a question, he started to answer and then, uh… didn’t. Just stood, staring. They had to jog is brain to get him going again. No, I’m NOT ripping on an aging man, suffering the slings and arrows of his aging. I’m irritated as hell that nothing can be done. I think the Senate minority leader ought to KNOW he’s the Senate minority leader in exactly the same way I think the Senator from California ought to KNOW she’s the Senator from California and whether or not she’s actually IN California.

Neither of them will step down. Apparently, it’s inconvenient, politically. California has a Democratic Governor and would replace Feinstein with a Democrat, BUT…she would lose her position on the Judicial committee and likely not be replaced by a Democrat there. Kentucky currently has a Democratic Governor as well, but he doesn’t get to pick McConnell’s replacement. A contingent from the Republican controlled state legislature does that and THEY would pick a Republican. I think, after the revolution, when we have to install a (my) new, improved Constitution we should include a requirement to remove impaired elected government officials.

Consider: political campaigns include some version of “Trust me to make decisions on your behalf you’ll be happy with.” So if Mitch McConnell and Diane Feinstein don’t actually KNOW they’re Mitch McConnell and Diane Feinstein anymore, who’s making the decisions we sent THEM to Washington D.C. to make?
