Flat-Footed, And Falling Flat

 

By Baxter

The stupidity in Trump World is the most amusing thing. This tweet from Lauren Boebert is probably the apex, but Benedict Donald's misspelling of "indicted" in his outraged social media post last night gives it at least a little competition.

The best part is that the lackeys and fools who surround the mobster otherwise known as Donald Trump were caught by surprise by Alvin Bragg's grand jury yesterday. Racists that they are, they can't be pleased that a Black prosecutor has run rings around them. We cats will laugh about this for a long time.

And this reporting from The Washington Post is simply music to our ears: "Trump, for his part, dined at his private Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, with advisers for his 2024 presidential campaign after the news broke, but his recent good spirits had soured. One adviser described him as 'irritated' and 'deflated.'"

We love this. Donald Trump is probably the worst thing that's ever happened to the United States of America. He's up there with slavery, the Civil War, the Great Depression, Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, Watergate, 9/11, the needless invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the financial meltdown of 2008. He deserves to be irritated and deflated. Let's hope that much more irritation and deflation is to come.

Meanwhile, it looks like the MAGA supporters that everyone expected haven't shown up yet, either in Palm Beach or Manhattan. And even though Marjorie Taylor Greene swears she'll be in New York on Tuesday for Trump's arraignment, we predict that the whole event will be underwhelming. Humphrey Bogart's words in "Casablanca," all these years later, still apply: "There are certain sections of New York, Major Strasser, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade." We cats PURR.

(UPDATE: This Boebert tweet may not be real. But who can tell?)
