What Could Go Wrong

 Or, another massive Trump victory in Federal Court today.

Donald Trump's Brilliant Legal Strategy


We hear from some sources that Donald Trump has already spent as much as $74 million dollars in legal fees to avoid the consequences of his multifaceted criminality, by clogging the justice system with idiotic appeals and other stall tactics, until he could run out the clock and postpone his reckoning past election day, when if re-elected he could crush any legal opposition to his rule.  Well, here is a fantasy that I had a few months ago.  When you look at Trump's adult life, it has consisted in an almost endless series of failures: six bankruptcies, two popular vote losses in Presidential politics, grotesque failures running the economy or the response to an epidemic, failures as a con man in his "university," his thieving charities and almost everything he ever tried to sell under his own name, and on and on.   Why should this be any different?  What I fantasized was that all of his stalling and all of his dirty legal tactics would end up by having charges that would have been settled two years ago and utterly forgotten by the majority of voters, end up in court, playing out every day on TV, right in the middle of the Presidential campaign.  Perfect timing, if you are a Democrat.  


It looks like we have a fair chance of that actually happening at this point.  Those of us who follow political affairs are undoubtedly dismayed to discover that, according to a poll from last week, that 47% of registered voters in this country are totally unaware that Trump has been indicted on a single one of the 91 charges against him.  A large majority, if asked, "If you knew that Trump had been indicted for a crime, would you approve of his candidacy," replied "no."  Well, nothing will help with that issue (which of course should be almost the only one this year- do you want an open criminal in the White House?) better than showing him being dragged in and out of courtrooms through the whole Presidential campaign, and presumably convicted on at least some of these charges.


Now, you may well wonder, given that our mainstream press has done such a miserable job of informing the public that Trump is a rapist and a con man and a traitor, if even his conviction for serious crimes will make a real dent in popular ignorance.  And that is a good question.  As I have said for years, Democrats could crush the Republican party into oblivion without hardly trying; what they cannot do is crush the Republicans and the press working together.  Still, Democrats, your task is to make damned sure that the American Public knows perfectly well who this man really is before they enter the voting booths next November.  Please, get to it.

BB- I've said this before, but I will tell you what I think. Trump's followers know perfectly well that he is lying virtually every time he opens his mouth. There is, however, one thing he says that he means, and it is the only thing they care about: That if he is elected he will crush minorities, immigrants, Democrats and anyone else who stands up to him (and in their minds, them.) The rest is all just "owning the libs," driving sane people into a frenzy of despair over the idea that anyone could really believe all his fascist garbage.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
