The Peril Of Predictions


By Hubie and Bertie

The guards who were on duty the night that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed himself have formally admitted that they falsified the records of their activities that night.

Which makes us stop and go, wow. Epstein was a good bud of Donald Trump. What other shoes can drop between now and the midterms?

Well, here are a few: investigations by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Two defamation lawsuits against Benedict Donald, from Summer Zervos and E. Jean Carroll. Election subversion in Georgia. Tons of revelations to come around the insurrection of January 6. And a major Supreme Court decision on abortion, due to pop in June of next year. So tell us why the GOP is expected to clean up in 2022?

Long story short: In the category of Trump Stuff We Don't Know Yet But That Will Make Us Sick When We Find Out, there's a trove of information that will spill between now and a year from November. Just sayin'.

In lashing itself to Donald Trump, the Republican Party is refusing to get into the Titanic lifeboats and opting instead to stay with the sinking ship. And yes, we know — if you read the electoral map (once it's gerrymandered to the Republicans' content), and acknowledge the tradition that the party in power typically loses the midterms, things look bleak for us in 18 months.

But these are no ordinary times. If we cats were TV pundits, we would pause before lazily repeating all those 2022 tropes. And we PURR.
