Empty Podium

Dwain Northey (Gen X)

When do we get to ignore the malignant tumor in his ill-fitting suit? I am seriously asking; I am tired of wall-to-wall coverage of this national disgrace. Earlier was coverage that of Trump Force One leaving Florida and arriving in New York so that the first ever indited former President could surrender to Manhattan District Court.

The tumor was offered the ability to be arraigned via zoom but not one to turn down a spectacle for his ego and minions, he begrudgingly went to NYC so that his martyrdom was on full display. No surprise that his plea was, “Not Guilty”, I am sure there were a lot more words vomited on the court but I wasn’t there so I can only speculate.  

Donny dumb ass could have lived out his miserable life in anonymity if his inflated ego hadn’t miraculously gotten him placed, I am not going to imply he was lawfully elected. He could have continued crimeing and gone relatively unchecked but he got himself, with foreign assistance, into a position that put his woeful life under a microscope.

He fits the mold of a criminal is going to crime no matter the position they are in, that is their nature and they can’t help themselves. The comparison to Nixon is that Nixon was a President that became a criminal, but Trump was a criminal that became President.

Now the GOP is crying that we have 2 systems of justice in this country and Trump is innocent. For the first time ever I agree with them, we do have 2 systems, ask George Floyd, Breana Taylor, Tyre Nichols, I could continue this for pages but they unfortunate individuals are examples of our 2 systems of justice. Donald is finally being brought up on charges that were from 2016 and before, that’s 6 years the 3 I named had minutes, George Floyd had 19 minutes not 6 years. I want equal justice for all and I am sure the many that have been executed by police or railroaded into prison would have liked the amount of time and diligence that Trump and his fellow white collar criminals have gotten.

That is a big part of this but more to the point is I want all the attention that the mango tumor is getting to disappear. I want his name to be pox in the history books, his name should have the same connotation as Benedict Arnold. I know I am dreaming because this inditement will be headline new for days and when George indites him it will start again and then when Jack Smith drops the hammer… well who knows by them we all may be so exhausted that we aren’t even paying attention.

What is really sad and dispiriting is that the GOP will more than likely nominate him to run for the office he actively tried to dismantle in 2024. The party of Lincoln is dead the party that praises autocracy and dictatorship has replaced it masquerading as populist.

Sinclair Lewis has been attributed to saying, “When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”

It looks like an Orange Buffoon will try to be the one who make that line come true.
