I was sitting in my car waiting for a friend who got her vaccine today

and for no good reason I started laughing. Actually there was a very good reason.
It suddenly hit me that Trump and his goons really thought he'd be the winner on January 6.

Do I have news for him. All that's down the pike for him is legal jeopardy including being charged with sedition.

‘struth drumfh’s stupidity saying that C-19 was a hoax has made the USA highest
in cases of death and numbers of stricken citizens world wide.A bloody shame.Really sad.

so either we don't feed the old guys or we tame the kittens and give them up for adoption.
That's way cheaper

.... the spotlights of the Oval Office were too revealing for his brand of fraud, grifting, and self enrichment.

He could have drifted off into a comfortable retirement,... but he could not leave well enough alone.

Now he will be hounded until the day he dies.

Most lenders would consider it inappropriate to start proceedings against a sitting president.
That shield held them off for more than 4 years.
That shield is now torn, wet tissue.

He got away with so much for so long that he really thought he could pull this off. I wish a horrific end for .him and the rest of his grifter, criminal family.

Trump really, REALLY thought he would still be president because that has been his lifelong experience, he has been able to lie, con, bully, cheat, steal his way ahead......and all those fucking goons think he is just swell

I really think he actually believed he could get around the Constitution somehow and get a third term, or for the rest of his life (may it be short and miserable).

Since January 20th, Dumpy is not in my vocabulary, other than in response to something. He will fade as time goes on. I firmly believe that. He will try to make it to 2024 but the State of New York has other ideas for him and his company. He is in the past as the worst president this country has ever had.
