This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

And then the lights came on in the kitchen and the roaches began to scurry away in a frenzied panic. The phony Arizona electors await their fate. Electors arrested in Michigan and indicted in Georgia. A local Arizona GOP attorney maintains (try not to laugh) if they didn’t know that what they were doing was a crime. They couldn’t be guilty of it.

If the phony Arizona electors thought the documents would only be used in the event, the state’s election was overturned. Then it wasn’t criminal, just stupid. Good luck with that theory fellas. Under conspiracy laws it doesn’t matter if you knew it was illegal or not. “Your honor, my client pleads stupid as hell, as charged.” Good luck convincing a jury it was all just a fraternity prank! They never meant no harm your honor.

This is most assuredly a criminal conspiracy with identical ideas and identical paperwork emanating from among several other states. If it were a one off maybe, they could bury it with fines. But this case is swelling in size and intensity. The phony elector’s conspiracy is the smoking gun and the little Round Top of this case against Donald Trump. If it is proven there was an organized effort to overthrow the elections with phony electors in multiple states directed from the White House. Case closed! Asti la Vista…baby!

Light means heat and this Arizona case can’t just be ignored and is pivotal in proving conspiracy. The vote among the state’s needs to be unanimous. You can’t have phony electors convicted and sentenced to prison in four states and found not guilty in another, let go as an unfortunate misunderstanding.  “Sorry to bother you sir. We’ll be moving along now.” Martyrs, heroes who spit right in that judge’s eye and were released by the court.

Call it Dunning -Kruger effect a Fox News poll finds 70% of Republicans say they’re even more behind Donald Trump now than ever before! Oh, garsh yes. But the same poll finds 53% of Republicans say they wouldn’t vote for Trump. Ah, we’ve got a problem here. “They love Trump, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll vote for him anymore. (On the Turning Away) They like him just fine.

“Go on Donny! You be you son, show em what you got!” Couch supporters who would never publicly would come right out and say it, because it would be Republican heresy and a thought crime. They (the invisible Republican them) are beginning to understand.

They’ve got him; the Feds have Trump by the short hairs, and this thing is going south in a hurry. Battle Stations, Battle Stations! But 70% Republican support is a low number and 53% is a high number. Now calculate those numbers going in opposite directions and meeting somewhere in the middle. A recipe for disaster, a shotgun wedding with an ugly baby as a result. This is only August; can you imagine what this could smell like in six months?

And there they all are, the usual suspects trying to defend the indefensible for a candidate no one wants to vote for any more anyway. It becomes almost instinct as they see that Fearless Freep can’t escape this time.

They know under the skin that Trump is probably guilty, and it’s time to not talk about it anymore and just move on. We’ve cleared the top of the mountain and it’s all downhill from here. Is the Trump campaign actually making any headway or are the other candidates simply moving backwards?

Poor Ron DeSantis as Jerry Lewis in the Absent-Minded Professor. The candidate stumbles his way through the days as his potion begins to wear off and his real personality emerges. After being labeled the Mickey Mouse man DeSantis tries to shed that MM man label.

Whistling past the graveyard and telling Disney they should just go ahead and drop their lawsuit. They won’t win. I’m a nice guy and I’m willing to let it go this time and let bygones be bygones. But DeSantis knows, they are this close, to blowing it. One more gaff or blunder and she’s all over.

And Ronnie wouldn’t be talking about it if he wasn’t worried about it. “Sir, there’s an iceberg dead ahead.” Ronnie is crashing in the polls joining the pack of the never wases and wannabe’s. A Republican version of “The View” where a pack of scorpion’s sting each other divided over Donald Trump.

I don’t see much about the Trump campaign in the news, just a lot of court dates. Pretrial hearings and depositions and it is all expanding around them like a puddle of oil. The phony elector’s scandal is a national scandal now and radioactive for Republicans running for office. “Let me say this about that, We need to let the courts do their work, so I won’t be commenting about this matter any further.”

 The laughable Mike Pence, who can’t remember if he was told about the phony elector’s scheme or not. Giving slimy little worms everywhere a bad reputation. If Pence even thinks hard one time about admitting foreknowledge of the phony elector’s scheme. They’d be on him like a duck on a June bug and Pence would be guilty as charged. So, we get Mike Pence’s “Duh, what? Sorry, were you talking to me? About what? I drifted off there for a minute.”

This idea that Mike Pence sat in the White House empty headed and blank as an envelope without an address. As they all tried their hardest to egg him on into joining their little conspiracy. But no one at any time ever mentioned the phony electors to Pence in passing during their most persuasive arguments. Why sure, they never told him nothing about that part. SHHHH! Exney Elector tay.

What did Mike Pence know and when did he know it? The former President and his inner circle of indicted brain trust. Knew they must have Mike Pence’s full cooperation, but the conspirators never told Pence the details of the plot. Excuse me, I should more correctly say. Mike Pence says he can’t remember if they told him or not. “Duh what? What were you fellas saying again?”  

Mike Pence could be the out liar (pun intended) that springs the trap. He didn’t go along with the plot, but he knew about it ahead of time. Who knew what when? That knowledge is now toxic, Senators and Congressmen and congressional aides who knew what when? Who is a conspirator here and who is merely a bystander?
