Justice Interference


If you follow the news lately -- I do -- you know that our former president/sneaker salesman has made his share of headlines lately.

None of them good. 

He's on a losing streak that would make the old Chicago Cubs or even the Syracuse University Football team blush. For me, and for 81 million other critical thinking Americans, it's been a non stop gusher of Schadenfreude. I often say his pain is inversely related to my joy.

As of late I feel like I've been given the VIP table at the Golden Corral of Trump disappointments, defeats and financial dismemberments. His comeuppance has been a long time coming.

As of late I'm sure you've also heard him moaning about all this being a wildly sewn complex conspiracy of concerted effort that he calls Election Interference. Which is rich coming from a man who begged a state official to, "Just find me 11,780 more votes, which is one more than we need to win Georgia which I won by a lot. A lot."

The same man whose legal team assembled a cavalcade of pseudo-electors. Non-sanctioned, unofficial, handpicked hacks who would effectively throw out the will of the American people and throw in another 4 years for the man recently dubbed "America's Worst President."

Ever.

Again, the same man who, in conjunction with a team of 'legal eagles' who have now all been disbarred, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Ken Cheeseborough, Jenna Ellis and more, schemed to stop the January 6th certification of an American  president in the halls of the capitol and underhandedly steal an election.

Pardon the longwinded re-setting of the table, but I have come to a new understanding of the situation. A ju-jitsu interpretation of the events that have unfolded. You see, I don't believe, and I don't think anyone who can string two synapses together, believe this panoply of criminal charges brought against him has anything to do with Election Interference. 

Rather, this 315 lbs. lump of leftover lard has cleverly reframed the scenario.

What he calls Election Interference is actually Justice Interference. 

That is, the DOJ is not pursuing him to prevent him from getting elected. No, he is running for office in order to use election funds to fend off the tidal wave of legal bills, soon to be approaching $1 billion. 

To date his Kool Aid drinking followers have pitched in close to $100 million dollars of money that could have been used to pay down their credit card bills, put groceries in the refrigerator, or even covered the cost of a few days at Epcot Center (so they could feel more worldly and well-traveled), to defray the legal bills of a schmuck who plays golf every day, flies around in a private jet, lives in a country club, has his own omelette bar. 

Oh and calls himself a billionaire.

It is the Ultimate Con.

And as in every good con, the mark(s) never saw (see) it coming. More importantly they refuse to believe they've been conned.
