As the vile spectre of Trump returns to suck up oxygen, albeit in a good cause, proof abounds he's still a grifter - Melania coins! $8,000 hotel rooms! - who deserves more retribution than he'll ever get. For now, he's getting righteously trashed by Palm Beach neighbors, Georgia officials, Stormy Daniels, his own delirious co-conspirators and a shiny new Trump Library, with its Hall of Enablers, COVID Memorial, Autocrats Gallery and Records Room to "prosecute his crimes against humanity."

As the vile specter of Trump has returned to suck up oxygen again - lamentably, but in a righteous cause - enraging proof abounds that his crimes deserve whatever current retribution is meted out to him and then some. While his brazen incitement of the riot - "This is what happens" when you don't elect me - is this week's focus, it seems he's also still whining - he quit the Screen Actors' Guild before they could eject him because "You have done nothing for me" - and dodging - he killed anti-Biden ads about women to not "open a can of worms" about his own abuses - and, as always, grifting - #TrumpGriftsYou Die. Having repeatedly charged us untold millions for golfing and hotel rooms and....water... for his entourage and taking his kids to hobnob with U.K. royalty, he's still tripling the rate of hotel rooms for rabid QAnon fans who think he'll be re-elected March 4, just like he did right before the coup when his cheapest room rate soared to $8,000. And the hawking goes on: This week you can get the new, authentic, colorized Melania Coin - a JFK half-dollar that sold for almost $40 - for just $19.99 to "keep this piece of history (as) a constant reminder of our amazing First Lady." Customers liked it, though some complained its "stunning" acrylic display was "to small." Here on Planet Earth, there are other complaints. In Palm Beach, residents are still trying to figure out how to eject him from Mar-A-Lago, and his neighbors have voted to dump his foul name from a $1 to $4 million condo complex across the water from him. In Georgia, the Secretary of State has launched an investigation into his bullying effort to overturn the election in phone calls that may have violated three state criminal election laws; others have said the probe could lead to criminal charges, including solicitation to commit election fraud, conspiracy and "international interference" with an official's "performance of election duties." And speaking of performance: Stormy Daniels told Michael Cohen in his Mea Culpa podcast that her sex with Trump was "the worst 90 seconds of my life."
This week will expose the biggest crime by the guy who said over 100 times the election was "rigged" or "stolen" and repeatedly urged a hungry mob to "fight like hell" even as his complicit, tinfoil party insists neither he nor they pushed the lies that incited a riot so really no malfeasance and all good. Not even their partners in crime buy the lie as rioters, once arrested, increasingly turn to the "Blame Trump" defense. Lawyers for several argue their clients were "egged on" by Trump or "merely following the directions of...the country's chief law enforcement officer," and one motion calls Trump "a de facto un-indicted co-conspirator in this case." Which in reality represents what Rep. Jamie Raskin calls "the most grievous constitutional crime ever committed by a president" whose actions were "both riveting and horrifying." In grim, wry tribute, a group of architects and other "trouble-makers" have created the astonishing D.J. Trump Library, the "foremost repository of records from the most criminal administration in American history." In detailed renderings, its exhibitions include a Hall of Enablers, Wall of Criminals, Grift Shop, Autocrats' Gallery - "Who doesn't love a strongman?" - Trump Hotel - "criminal luxury" including a Felon's Lounge - Records Room - "Do research on how YOU would prosecute Trump's crimes against humanity" - Archives - Sharpie signings, alimony payments, ignored invoices, unread briefs, love letters from North Korea - COVID Memorial with Rooftop Garden and Reflecting Pool "to look on with shame," Alt Right Auditorium playing "Birth Of A Nation," and West Wing Replica where, from behind the Resolute Desk, "You can rest assured, no matter how low they go, no one in all eternity will ever be able to sink this once great office any lower." Donations go to charities - "We get the hate mail. They get the money" - and additions are ongoing; the newest is a Prison Work Release program. Given his "non-stop drumbeat of lies and fiery rhetoric intended to incite (the mob) to the doorstep of violence," the impeachment trial is step one, writes Dean Obeidallah. "Accountability can only come if Trump is criminally charged and fully prosecuted. In fact, today would be a great day to arrest Trump."
"You know what would help this country "heal and move on"? The impeachment, conviction, and criminal prosecution of Donald J. Trump." - Robert Reich




This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. US voters have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news. If you share our vision, please contribute whatever you can to sustain our work. |
