Feels good to be right

Stunning news broke late Friday afternoon. Stunning, being a relative word now that we're living through an unprecedented era in American politics where the former president is under 4 separate indictments. That includes a total of 91 criminal counts including a RICO charge that is...well... stunning its own right.

This, I feel compelled -- and gleeful -- to remind you is in addition to the second civil case he lost to E. Jean Carroll and now awaits what one can only hope will be backbreaking financial punishment. 

"Hey, E. Jean, can the court interest you in a bunch of shitty golf courses? Bedminster? Doral? Or maybe Trump's Dump by The Sea, Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles?"

"How about a tower? Would you like a Tower?"

On Friday, Mark Meadows, the Chief Weasel of Staff, found out he could not have his part of the RICO indictment moved to federal court, where he might have found a bunch of clueless Red Hats (pardon the redundancy) to sit on the jury and grant him a Get Out of Jail Card. 

But that's not gonna happen.

So, like so many before him, Meadows will now get to witness his lifetime legacy start to spiral down the toilet bowl. And as Rick Wilson, author of Everything Trump Touches Dies, so accurately predicted, Meadows will be joined by many others.

I have many Trump books on my bookshelf. So many indeed that the shelving required reinforcement. And yes the 215 lbs. bastard lives in my head. Mostly because I have never underestimated him and see him as an existential threat to this nation and my daughter's future. But Wilson's book is a must read. 

Published more than 5 years ago, we have already witnessed the domino effect predicted by Wilson. Look who has gone down (died, as it were) because of their proximity to the orange melonoma: Barr, Cohen, Pence, Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Bannon, Giuliani, Eastman, Powell, Fox News, etc...

I hate to engage in "I told you so's"...who am I kidding, I love being able to say, "I told you so", particularly when it was all so self-evident.

And I don't think we've begun to scratch the surface. 

Not only are the big names going down, so are many of the small ones. Including the fake electors, in their starched blouses and their JC Penney khakis. And the J6 insurrectionists, attired in their kevlar vests and their stained Walmart khakis, now being sentenced to double digit prison sentences.

It's all so delicious.

But the best is yet to come, apologies Kimberly "Elvira" Guilfoyle. If Wilson is right, and so far he's been uncannily prescient, the GOP can look forward to...

"massive decades-long downstream election losses...the alienation of African American and hispanics. Young voters fleeing the party in droves. Age-old beefs, juvenile complaints. Playing public footsie with white supremacists and Neo-Nazis. Blistering pig-ignorance about the economy and the world. And pushing an agenda that jacks economic inequality into the stratosphere."

I'm more than happy to lend you my copy to read, but I'm gonna go through this classic again. Only this time with smug look of self-satisfaction on my face.
