I am on my way to the local hardware store to purchase a new mop and bucket. If you are wondering why, it is to mop up crocodile tears and angry drool. Before the day is over, the Republican machine will accuse Democrats of politicizing the bomb threats to prominent Liberals today and over the past week. They will deplore the actions and ask for thoughts and prayers for the Clintons and the Obamas. Conservatives will say, how outrageous it is of the Democrats to blame Republicans for the actions of a lone insane person. Then they will go back to blaming Democrats for inveterate “mobs” of fleeing Hondurans cloaking “Middle Easterners” and gang members. The presidential screed of ‘mobs versus jobs’ will ring out, with delirious Trump supporters waiting for their cue to chant “lock her up, lock her up” to whatever name Donald Trump chooses for the occasion, Pelosi, Warren, Waters or his favorite Hillary Clinton.
The first attempt at distraction was an erroneous report that the Trump White House had received a bomb as well. Of course, the obvious relevance of the President of the United States calling the press the ‘enemy of the people,’ and offering financial assistance for any of his followers that attacked liberal protesters will be minimized. His siding with the Saudi Prince, who more and more seems guilty of extrajudicial murder, are just a few examples of the shameless and shameful conduct of the so-called leader of the free world.
President Trump has a scheduled rally tonight and any hopes of a sane or rational response are highly unlikely. Why would we expect more from a man who mimicked the spastic movements of a disabled journalist or made jokes about a woman who went through a horrific rape attempt? CNN is the most notable of the news organizations that have been under constant attack by the President, he even retweeted a video superimposing the news organizations logo over that of a WWE personality.
We are told by Sarah Sanders, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci and WH adviser Kellyanne Conway, that Democrats are just snowflakes and need to understand the President is just riffing or joking, lighten up they say.
CNN was broadcasting from the sidewalks of New York this afternoon because their lives were literally endangered by a bomb delivered to their offices. You will hear the false equivalencies of Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY.) being unable to eat a meal with his wife in peace, or Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz and his wife Heidi, banished by protesters from their favorite watering hole. As distasteful as some may find that overt form of protest, no one threatened to bomb their tables or poison their food.
Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham will rail in feigned anger on the Fox News’ Politburo tonight, and seethe at Democrats who blame Mr. Trump for his own actions and language. Of course, they have been happy to either ignore or lend credence to the President’s baseless accusations about Middle Easterners and MS-13 gang members crossing into America, with the escaping Hondurans, ostensibly to do Americans harm. The President himself said yesterday he had, “no proof of anything” to back his assertions. Americans keep wanting to believe that sanity will reign at some point but the people are the real hope to recapture our government from the idiocy we have allowed; November 6th is coming.
