In a nation wherein

its largest retail establishment has a trademarked symbol which is a representation of a penis with Peyronie’s Disease, nothing, but nothing is neither off the table nor what it seems.

It appears to this observer that the powers that be are readying the populace for the demise of its Great Leader. All these leaks, all this implausible deniability, all this emphasis by the major media outlets is indicative of a movement generated from within to ready the nation for a transition.

Why do I feel this way? Because to any sentient individual, to any clinically trained and experienced practitioner in health care, and to any measure, this man has been going downhill for a very long time and, importantly, manifest clear psychopathology during his entire public existence as well as before that, according to his family members. Those of us who have been screaming this for anywhere from five years to decades were either ignored or laughed off until very recently.

Every excuse in the lexicon of forgivenesses was utilized by the MSM until recently, when it is clear and obvious that the “go-ahead” has been given to let the hammer fall. This is across the board. I shall present one case in particular.

The erstwhile faux-rapper, wannabe-black guy Ari Melber has for years been the “voice of legal objectivity” at what was formerly called MSNBC, now renamed MSNOW. Every statement he would make on his show would be prefaced by disclaimers such as “we must say ‘allegedly’” and “we must deal in objective facts, not rhetoric or unverified opinion”. Now, he is openly calling the man in the White House a liar, unfit to hold office, unwell, and likely very very ill. Instead of mitigating his guests’ critical opinions, he is now amplifying them, sometimes to their obvious surprise on air.

Melber is no radical: he’s a corporate opportunist who does as he’s told. The difference between him and others is that he’s obvious: wears his heart on his sleeve so to speak. Not known for subtlety, his turnabout is sudden and obvious.

Now there are those of you who will counter my thesis by stating that it’s just so obvious now that the media is just figuring this out. Please allow me to say that most of us with three brain cells knew that Trump was a sick fuck fraud in the 1980’s. We knew he was at the very least a lying, lecherous pervert, who was clearly covering for his “weirdnesses” by surrounding himself with beautiful women, one after another. It’s what these men do, so “nobody” can say that they’re anything but a highly desirable heterosexual fellow who has nothing but the finest taste in women.

I’ve known these guys my entire life. Make no mistake: they’re creeps. That’s the word for them, except this creep inherited untold millions of dollars and a willing New York press corps who made additional millions promoting him in every which way. They created a psychopathological monster, the human equivalent of The Blob, gaining strength from the energies of those around it, finally achieving unimaginable size and power.

But the powers are ebbing faster and faster, and the end is nigh and they know it. You will see cracks forming and spreading and enlarging faster and faster. The process has begun, much like when the funeral dirges would be played on the radio in the old Soviet Union when a Premier would be on his deathbed or be deceased but it had yet to be announced formally. Our version of the funereal music is now playing and it will be just a matter of time.

The media has always known how sick he was, mentally and physically, but as long as there was money to be made they were all in on the grift.

Interesting take. Not one I would have noticed but I don’t watch him much anymore.

I thought I was the only one who thinks of that disease every time I see one of Bezos's trucks.

... it also symbolizes a smile, and an arrow indicating "A to Z". I seem to recall reading some years ago that it was a big part of the reason Bozo named the company "AMAZON" in the first place.
I was unaware of the existence of Petronie's disease until just a few minutes ago. Now it's forever burned into my brainpan. Thanks... I think.
