I don’t know. The timing of the whole thing is just really suspicious. A judge blocks his ballroom unless he gets permission from Congress, which shouldn’t be too hard. The judge DOES allow work to continue on security elements of the project, though. KKKarolyin’ Levitt announces there will be “shots fired tonight.” There ARE shots fired that night. Donny’s first concern is the ballroom and how much more secure it could have been. What a coincidence.

Maybe unrelated. Maybe an attempted manipulation. The whole thing just feels like a nothing-burger. Yes, I know, Levitt was only referencing how much “fun” the evening was going to be and used a common reference for roasting-type jokes. But it IS also a commonly used phrase for actual shots, actually being fired. That’s called “plausible deniability,” but with Team Evil, “plausible” isn’t enough.

Oh, I also think it’s important to mention that the entire security breach occurred a floor below where the dinner was being held. The guy never got anywhere near the room where his ostensible target was. Hell, he never even got to the right floor. But this thing is being squeezed by the media for all it’s worth. More than it’s worth, it seems.

Apparently, the would-be shooter sent a “manifesto” to his family only minutes before the shooting. He wrote, “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Norah O’Donnell, from ’60 Minutes’ asked 47 about that during an interview, after. “What’s your reaction to that?” she asked the president.

He didn’t like that. “Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people,” Donny replied. “Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”
“Oh, you think — do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked. Zinger. Apparently, it played well on the left but c’mon, everybody thinks the guy was referring to Donny. It wasn’t that much of an insight to make that leap.

Donny insists he’s not a raper or pedophile, just like every other raper or pedophile. He said, “I got associated with all the stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with let’s say Epstein or other things.”

Bear in mind, he was held responsible for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll, an act the judge later agreed could be characterized as a “rape,” and he has gone to really extraordinary lengths to hide the Trump/Epstein files in what seems a gargantuan effort to protect himself from the consequences of the contents. Neither one of those things seems like “totally exonerated,” to me.

But the whole thing did offer one moment I won’t soon forget. I don’t mean to be making fun of the guy or anything. Who would ever do that? But there’s video of 47 during the White House Correspondent’s dinner evacuation – falling on his face! The Secret Service got him up and started hustling him out. They moved faster than old Peepaw can move – and he did a face plant. I kind of enjoyed that…

Okay, so it’s a little thing and I know that but it’s kind of fun, right? King Charles is coming for a visit. The White House starts setting up all of the little niceties one does when a head of state visits. In this case, they wanted to display Great Britain’s flag, the Union Jack. So, obviously, one grabs and hangs the flag of Australia. “Close enough,” they seem to have thought. “Who will ever know?”

Turns out, people noticed. Then the White House had to go back and change them. Yeah, I know, a little thing. It’s just one more peek into the competence of this group in general. Or, you know, incompetence, as the case may be…

Hey, is now a good time to remind you that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were best friends and likely co-conspirators in a sex trafficking scheme for years and years? He wants people to forget that. People are not forgetting that. Don’t you forget it…

185. That’s the number of people Donny has killed with his “extra-judicial killings” (that is, “murders”) of people in boats the US is bombing and insisting – without evidence – must be drug runners. So far. Hell, even if they ARE drug runners, they deserve a trial, according to our Constitution, but there’s no evidence they are drug runners. It’s just as likely they’re fishermen who have to feed their families.

The reality is that Donny doesn’t care. It’s good political theater. It helps the rubes think he’s a tough-guy. He probably likes the big booms, too. He has a very immature, undeveloped sense of what it means to be a tough guy. Of course, he has a very immature, undeveloped sense of what it means to be a human being, too, so I guess I’m not surprised.

I maintain that, without evidence or trials, these are nothing but murders of innocent people. I hope these killings get added to his list of war crimes and crimes against humanity when the trials start…
