13 July—We hold these truths to be self-evident: Donald Trump is a self-serving, self-dealing, lying con-man, a crook, a criminal; a thoroughly abominable, reprehensible thug who has never done an honest thing in his scandalously debauched life. He’s an irredeemable, bullying scumbag; an egomaniacal, abusive, narcissistic misanthrope; an infantile madman. He’s a grandstanding, opportunistic windbag; a pig (with apologies to pigs); a seditious asshole (who likely doesn’t understand what sedition is or realize that he, a delusional absolute monarch, can be guilty of anything).

Donald Trump is by far the most corrupt, most incompetent—the very worst—president ever to disgrace the United States (including but not limited to you know who). He’d never have been nominated by intelligent, levelheaded, halfway sensible Republicans and certainly wouldn’t have won the presidency over a Democrat candidate other than the disreputable and despicable harridan Hillary Clinton.

Trump should be tried and convicted for his lifetime of abuse and crime before, during, and after his obscene presidency. He should be stripped of all his assets and sent up the river—to a prison or insane asylum, his choice—where he should remain until he pleads for mercy and admits to all his iniquities.

It’s a given that Trump’s professed atonement would be totally insincere and wouldn’t mean a thing to him or us because his only principles are self-aggrandizement and self-preservation—and those of us who haven’t been taken in by his self-serving cons know where he’s coming from. But we’d have the satisfaction of seeing him beg. And since he’d have no assets, it’s likely his family and friends, such as they may be, would tell him where to go.

Get it straight, Donald Trump, who is unfit for anything good and beneficial to others, is a past master of bluster, bullying, and bullshit. As we all know, that makes him the consummate politician—because voters are credulous, gullible dupes.

That naturally and logically takes us to the congressional hearing on the 6 January brouhaha, being staged by a theatrical professional and scripted and performed by past masters of bluster, bullying, and bullshit, who are unfit for anything good and beneficial to others.

Get it straight, the 6 January Select Committee performers’ only principles are self-aggrandizement and self-preservation. And no matter what they may tell us, it’s all about them . . .
