Come to find out, Rudy Giuliani isn’t the only completely insane lawyer Trump has working for him privately to gain dirt on Biden in Ukraine.

The double team powerhouse of Joe DiGenova and his wife, Victoria Toensing are plowing the dirt fields for Trump and considering their past, they ought to be pretty good at plowing for dirt.  They are teevee lawyers for Fox News, which is to lawyering what wrestling is to professional sports.

It appears that they are are on Trump’s private payroll, which means they’ll never get paid, which, coincidently, is exactly what they are worth.

Looking back, you’ve really got to hand it to Richard Nixon for holding it together so well there at the end. I mean, he went around crying and talking to the pictures on the wall in the White House but hell, that’s nothing.

This is something.

“If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal,” Trump tweeted, adding his own parenthetical to a quote from Robert Jeffress, a Southern Baptist preacher speaking on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Sunday.

It’s gibberish, I understand that. If America is not successful in removing Trump, then what the hell is this warning about?

He’s threatening Civil War?  Civil Damn War?

If Robert Jeffers and his evangelical mob think civil war is the answer, then they are not very evangelical. Jesus, after all, is the prince of peace.

These are some creepy damn people, y’all, and the civil war they are talking about won’t be north against south, it’s be neighbor against neighbor.

Besides, most of them will retreat to their survivalist bunkers and eat the pails of food they have stored up because they are anxious to use that stuff. I say we lock them in there for about two years and then let them out one by one – in Mexico.

• Eric and Donald Trump Jr are running Trump’s international businesses costing the US taxpayer millions of dollars for security during their travel.  And, since they stay in Trump properties when they travel, the US taxpayer is pouring money into Trump’s pockets.
• Jared Kushner continues to run his family’s real estate businesses, but also works in the WH.  He’s personal friends with the murderous Saudi crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
• Ivanka Trump continues to run her clothing business while working in the WH.  Trump has issued waivers on her products so she doesn’t pay tariffs on Chinese goods.

But let’s talk about Hunter Biden, because that’s more important.  That’s not hypocritical, is it?  Nah.

File under What a Coingkidink, Trump’s State Department has been notifying former Clinton aids that emails sent to Hillary years ago have be RETROACTIVELY CLASSIFIED and that the investigation into her private email server has been reopened.  Of course, this new very serious “investigation” has nothing to do with Trump’s woes, I’m sure.  Not passing the straight faced test, a senior State Department official said, “This has nothing to do with who is in the White House.  This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3½ years.” Uh-huh. Right.

This feels like yet another abuse of power by Trump’s goon squad, whipped back up to give him more manure to throw against the wall on Fox Noise.

Apparently, the impeachment proceedings are flushing all the Trump nuts out into the light, especially on social media.  I had another one of THOSE FB conversations last night, this time with a Trumpist friend of my Never Trumper friend who described himself as a moderate.  When an obvious Trumpist describes themself as a moderate, you know the conversation is going to go bad.  This one did, and it didn’t take long for him to retreat into the normal Trumpist tropes.  He characterized himself as a moderate who supports Trump (while never actually saying that); when I talked about Trump’s many well documented felonies, he said it was inappropriate for me to say he was a criminal without him being convicted of said crimes.  He said that I should always use the word “alleged” before every act that Trump has committed.  So, to play the game, I described Trump’s “alleged” 12,000 lies documented by the Washington Post and his ten “alleged” acts of felony obstruction of justice documented in the 480 pages of the Mueller Report, as well as his “alleged” attempts to get help from the Russians in 2016 which are also well documented.  I then pointed out that Trump didn’t use “alleged” when he lied thousands of times over 6 years that Obama was not an American.  Or that no one used the word “alleged” when conspiracy nuts lied thousands of times over 10 years that Michelle Obama was actually a cross dressing gay man and their daughters were actually born in Africa (Yes, that happened; look it up).  The irony of that was lost on said Trumpist, so he told me that my “extreme fear” of Trumpists was hurting my ability to communicate with them.  I pointed out to him that it wasn’t “extreme fear” of Trumpists but complete disdain for them.  After he criticized my “reading skills” the conversation ended just as you can imagine.

I’ve never had a conversation with a Trumpist that has gone well.  It normally devolves as above.  My observation is that Trump supporters are either willfully ignorant, radically partisan, selfish, or just plain stupid.  The first two of these traits are normally linked since a radical partisan will over look all weakness of the side they support.   Now that we’re in impeachment territory, I’m giving no ground to them.

This phenomenon is hard to understand, but engraved in stone real.  AND, it’s not fun.
