This right here is just further proof of why it is a necessity for our politicians to be properly vetted BEFORE they take office. Hopefully this will be a cautionary tale for the future, that when our elected officials are not properly vetted beforehand, they can end up going down as the most corrupt people to ever hold office. There is a reason why Trump was resistant to being vetted ahead of time. He knew this criminality would be exposed. What he never counted on was accidentally winning.
It wasn’t Donald Trump’s fault that he won the presidency. Americans considered him the best candidate for this job, and they are right. The economy is in good condition. Wages rose. The wall is under construction. ISIS fails. We can again say “Merry Christmas.” Who cares if any election crimes were committed? People may have done this all the time. He didn’t even want to win! The American people did this to us. Should Donald apologize for the victory? He does not apologize for anything.
I’m loving the schadenfreude watching trumpsters follow Alice further down the hole. It’s nearly as satisfying as watching refs blow calls against the Steelers. Nearly.
It’s probably not worth the effort to catch up on the posting. There’s an awful lot that that’s happened in the last couple of weeks. Big time infrastructure stuff. I’ll try to recap it for you.
Michael Cohen got sentenced to 3 years or so. Don’t worry. It was a setup. Besides, he wasn’t sentenced for campaign violations, which he actually was, but in CEC world we prefer to believe he wasn’t. So, there’s that.
Michael Flynn pleading documents got filed. Don’t worry. It was a setup. He was really skillful at lying to the FBI agents. They called it out and reported that while they knew he was lying, he was really believable when he was lying. Here in CEC world, we’ve decided to believe that being believable while telling lies means he was telling the truth.
Maria Butina pleaded guilty to spying. Don’t worry. It was a setup. Besides, she wasn’t spying. She was only setting up secret backchannels between the NRA, the Republican Party, and the government of Vladimir Putin, including reference to the fact that Putin and his foreign minister were very happy with the outcome. Here in CEC world, we choose to believe that is not spying and will get quite upset if anyone calls it “spying.” It’s not, because she didn’t steal any classified information which is the only definition of spying. So, no spying. Not a spy.
In a shocking move, Saturday Night Live made fun of the President. Don’t worry. It was a setup. The President will have this handled in the courts. Here in CEC world we have not yet decided whether to just go with “that’s a good thing” or “the President is joking.” We’ll let you know.
I don’t have royalty in my blood, but if you go back a few generations, I can find a guy who almost played for the Yankees. That’s as close to royalty as a New Yorker like me can get.
