The short-lived White House career of Anthony Scaramucci was most remembered for an implausible suggestion. He vividly proposed that former Trump crony, Steve Bannon, perform an anatomical function that would quite frankly get Bannon the job he was most suited for, circus performer. Now it seems the Republican party and Trump’s walking dead are voluntarily seeking to replace porn star, Stormy Daniels, as the official fluffer.
Over the past few days, we have been told about secret career shattering memos, secret societies and apparently secret voices in the heads of the right wing. Of course, all of this is nonsense, but the question is; why would, what we thought were sane people, traffic in this buffoonery? I get Fox News’ Sean Hannity babbling for ratings and Jeanine Pirro’s foolishness, but we have GOP congressional authority now shoveling this manure. Besides the self-penned secret memo from the midnight runner, Devin Nunes (R-CA.) we can add to the list of fiction writers, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). Yes, it appears Senator Johnson has joined the daft amen chorus and has spent the past 48 hours waffling about a secret society; I wonder if he knows the three finger, thumb tapping handshake?
The Collapse…
Donald Trump’s own Department of Justice sent a letter to Nunes yesterday basically saying, cut it out.Nunes has been warned, that his release of a poorly written, security risky, partial conglomeration of facts can cause irreparable harm to the sources and methods of collection by the FBI. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this insanity is that the Mueller train is barreling down the tracks and the Trump car is stalled on the rails. We have gone from stories about former President Obama wiretapping Trump’s phones to Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice unmasking American citizens as part of a secret plot. Oh yeah, WH counselor Kellyanne Conway warned us that our microwaves may be doing something more than rubberizing a good steak.
The desperation has gotten so acute that Mr. Trump hinted at the dreaded ‘amnesty’ word yesterday. Of course, Fox News, Breitbart, and the rest of the right-wing chomped down on the distraction teething ring, but we all know Donald Trump is like the climate, the great Mark Twain said, “if you don’t like the weather in Florida, wait a minute…”
As much as the forever Trumpers would like to ignore facts, the evidence both factual and circumstantial is becoming more than convincing. Mr. Trump told Lester Holt in a now-famous NBC interview, the Trump/Russia thing led him to fire former FBI Director James Comey. His son Don Jr. regaled in the prospect of “dirt’ on Hillary Clinton he knew would be supplied by Russian nationals. Now we have a skirmish line being formed, armed with lies, memos, willful ignorance and the cherry on top, secret societies. The few Republican voices who have held the President to account, if not morally at least politically, Jeff Flake, John McCain, Bob Corker and Lindsey Graham either had to roll over or quit. Maybe the fear of losing a paid job from a governmental system, they hate, is too much of a sacrifice for some Republicans. That bigger boat I talked about a few days ago may have to be an ocean liner.
