Benedict Donald's Stormy Daniels payoff trial might not be of major interest to many pundits and historians, but it certainly could 1) convict him of a crime, and 2) remind voters of all the things they don't like about him. Today's testimony was a microcosm of that.
Trump enabler Hope Hicks put a stake through Donald's heart vis-a-vis the 2016 electoral interference conspiracy. She also reacquainted us with the smarmy Trump scheme to keep the Daniels and Karen McDougal stories under wraps, well into office. Listening to all this, you have to marvel at the fact that such a terrible person as Trump ever was elected to the Presidency at all, but... here we are.
Hicks reportedly stoically endured the initial questioning from the prosecution, but when it came time for the cross, she broke down in tears. Many observers have said it was because she was being compelled to testify against someone she admired. Sure, that's probably part of it. But we cats think that a lot of it was because of fear.
Hicks is afraid that her closely guarded life will never be the same now — and it shouldn't be. She's been able to skate under the radar for years now, but that time is over. Today, she was under oath, and she gave up her former idol Trump for what we suspect are very good reasons. But she must be smart enough to know that there are crazies out there who will never forgive her for turning coat, and who will therefore hound her, in one way or another, till the end of her days.
Will she need personal security for the rest of her life? Maybe. We cats are unsympathetic, as we would be to anyone in the Trumpster inner circle. These people are traitors to the Constitution. Period.
Meanwhile, there's probably another woman in the Trump orbit who's having a worse day than Hicks. The Jefferson County, Colorado, Republican Party just canceled a fundraising dinner with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem over her dog-killing story. "In the past few days, numerous threats and death threats have been made to the party, the Denver West Marriott and to the South Dakota governor and her staff," the GOP county chair averred.
Ain't it great? This means that Republicans, who have worked over the last 35 to 40 years to arm America to the teeth, are afraid that some dog lover might shoot up a rubber-chicken fundraiser in Colorado. Where else in America will stuff like this happen? Since guns are everywhere, we cats are thinking lots of places, and we PURR.
