One of the terrible things I have learned from Donald Trump is the firehose strategy. Just turn on the firehose and blast out a jet stream of:
- lie after, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, after lie, etc
- and crime, after crime, after crime, after crime, after crime, after crime, etc
- and stupidity, after stupidity, after stupidity, after stupidity, after stupidity, etc
- and ignorance, after ignorance, after ignorance, after ignorance ,etc
- and cruelty, after cruelty, after cruelty, after cruelty, after cruelty, etc.
- and threat, after threat, after threat, after threat, after threat, after threat, etc.
- and hatred, after hatred, after hatred, after hatred, after hatred, etc.
- and bigotry, after bigotry, after bigotry, after bigotry, after bigotry, etc.
- and outrage, after outrage, after outrage, after outrage, after outrage, etc.
So what happens is that it becomes impossible for people to focus on one deplorable outrage because another even worse deplorable outrage just happened, and tomorrow another even worse will happen, and tomorrow another even worse will happen - and tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow - so, what was it we were so alarmed about a couple of weeks ago?
Fortunately, we now have four of his most egregious crimes in focus in the ongoing trials against this pathetic but dangerous little criminal -
- Jack Smith's indictment for his attempt to overthrow the U.S. government on January 6, 2021 and times leading up to that violence - trial coming.
- Fani Willis's indictment for his attempt to fraudulently change the vote count in Georgia - trial coming.
- Jack Smith's indictment for his stealing (and possibly selling?) U.S. secrets after leaving the White House - trial coming, even though the Trump influenced judge is trying to push it out past the election.
- Letticia James indictment for his decades long bank fraud and tax evasion in New York, trial happening now, already found guilty, and all this is left is the determination the final amount of the fine, the selling off of properties - and the ending of his ability to do business in New York.
And, by the way, a number of states are claiming that because he led and insurrection against the duly elected government he is disqualified to run for office because he violated the 14th amendment. Seems like a slam dunk disqualification to me. The country never passed a subsequent Constitutional Amendment cancelling the 14th Amendment.
The Firehose Guy continues to blast out outrage after outrage into our collective minds in hopes of distracting the country from his actual trials holding him accountable for specific crimes. But, as the great boxer, Joe Lewis, once said - "He can run but he can't hide."
Destroy his Fraudulent businesses - and put him into prison please.
