INDICATED! (sic)
Well....so much for the Nashville shooting.
The Trump indictment has swept it away like it never happened. Reporters have vacated Nashville so quickly some of them ran right out of their shoes.
Gun control debate? What gun control debate?
Dead children? What dead children?
The attitude is a bit “surely we can get back to all this the next time….”
Perhaps next month….as these things go.
But for now, the circus is about to begin.
That big orange simpleton has crashed the party again. Mr Art of the Deal paid $130,000 to get laid and now he might be going to jail. Whatever. Stormy took one for the team as it were, and thus far has shown way more balls than….say….Robert Mueller or Merrick Garland.
Not that this indictment thing isn't historic. It is. Quite. Never before has a President of the United States been charged with a crime, unless you count the time Ulysses S Grant was pulled over and arrested for speeding in his carriage (he paid a $20 fine). Out of office most Presidents retreat gracefully...write boring memoirs....build presidential libraries...that sort of thing. Harry Truman moved into his Mother in Law's house and cut her grass. George Bush Sr jumped out of planes. Jimmy Carter actually helped build houses for poor people. Can anybody imagine Donald Trump doing any of these things? Can you imagine him sitting there with a box of crayons, writing a book? What would his "library" consist of? Collections of grammar-starved tweets? Maps that he re-drew with a sharpie? A gift shop selling red hats and Diet Coke? An in-house McDonalds?
