So Here’s the Question:

February 28, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: Treason (Yes, We're Going There), Trump

We ate all the popcorn and drank all the lemonade during Michael Cohen’s testimony yesterday.  I have to confess that I slipped a little adult beverage in during the last couple of hours just to steady my nerves.  The news is describing the testimony as bombshells, but it just confirmed pretty much everything we knew anyway.

So, here’s my question:  Is any of this testimony a surprise?  I mean, really; Donald Trump is a slimy, two bit slum lord who was able to make enough name of himself from his reality television show that, for some unknown reason, people wanted to pay him money to put his name on their buildings.  That’s pretty stupid in itself, but on top of that, he was denied a gaming license in Australia because of his ties to the Mob.  We’ve known that for 30 years.  He’s a serial liar, even when it’s easier to tell the truth (see Barack Obama’s birth certificate).  He’s lied about everything from his personal taxes to his “foundation”, to other charitable contributions, to you name it.  He’s in bed with the Russians AND the Chinese, if that’s even possible, uses the State Department for his own personal gain and coverups.  He even gets military doctors to lie about his height & weight.  Jesus.

As I watched the Repubs try to discredit him and the Dems ask him question after question, I was shocked about how not-shocked I really was.  I mean, here’s a guy confirming that Trump really DID collude with the Russians to get dirt on HRC.  He really DID pay off a porn star and Playboy model in the weeks just before the election.  He even worked on his Russian Trump Tower project right up to the election and continued his private business into his time in office.  This guy should have never been elected, but he should have been run out on a rail over two years ago.

But now, we’re all just numb, and sick of the whole sordid affair.  I do know one thing, though; every person who has supported him and his lies, from Senators to everyday voters have forfeited their right for LIFE to get scandalized by anything done by Dems or their supporters.

And THAT is my new rule.

Be social and share!

  1. They have forfeited any chance at humanity.

  2. Reminds me of an old story that can’t remember the source. One politician to another. I’ll stop lying about you if you stop telling the truth about me.

  3. Hey, we – and by that I mean me and lots of other people, already knew about this skunk years ago. How come all of these other people 1.) didn’t know despite all the publicity, or f they did, 2.) they thought the skunk reflected THEM perfectly and decided to betray their country by electing him. Malice aforethought, ya know?

  4. The purpose of yesterday’s hearing was not to dig up any new revelations. At least not for the like of you and me.

    However don’t forget there will be a lot of people out there for whom these de facto facts are brand new, or at least presented with new credibility. Some people who would ignore Juanita Jean or Rachel Maddow as partisan hacks now have to confront reality in a new way (for them.)

    There is a larger, second purpose to Cummings’ hearing: to send a message. For well over two years Trump has done whatever he wants to with utter and complete impunity. That has been a source of staggering frustration for you and me and has been quite emboldening to the 1%ers on Trumps side (because of taxes) as well as the confederate-flag waving crowd and the Obama/Clinton haters everywhere.

    That has clearly ended now. If nothing else that message being sent was worth the whole day.

  5. IOKIYAR has been the snocilbupeR standard since at least Nixon. The infamous “enough is enough” line was crossed by a mile the day IQ45 slipped past the Electoral College. No, not only no, but hell no “IOKIYAR” is not OK. As El Jefe stated the facts about DJT have been available for over thirty years; there was nothing new in that Congressional hearing. But with the facts succinctly stated in a concise timeline, we’re at the point of obvious and Congressional oversight is demanded. The Toddler-in-Thief will probably act out (more so) at being restrained making impeachment a clear necessity.

    If Cohen is as bad as they made him look, and he is, what does that say about the man who hired him and kept him on the payroll for ten years?

    For the remainder of my life, any time I encounter somebody trashing Democrats or Democratic principles, my response is going to be: “Did you vote for and support Donald Trump?”

    If the answer is affirmative, I’m going to terminate the discussion by telling such people that their backing of Trump makes them unworthy of offering any criticism of Trump’s adversaries. Period, full stop. Such people deserve nothing but our contempt.

  8. Ralph Wiggam,
    I agree. The Republicans tried to discredit Cohen by asking him how he could have worked for a Trump for 10 years, if his statements were true.

    The question I kept asking, if Cohen is such a liar, cheat and scoundrel, why did Trump keep him on for 10 years?

    * bad judge of character?
    * employing the worst people for the job?
    * an honest attorney wouldn’t agree to engage in the activities and methods of practice Trump required and demanded from his attorney?

    What’s scary is that he confirmed my suspicion that Trump will not leave voluntarily if he’s defeated in 2020. If you think the last two years were bad, the next two will be even worse!
