This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Who? Attorney? Me? She says she worked for me? I’ve seen the face, but I can’t put a name to it. After Sidney Powell flips on Donald Trump, Trump develops a case of Trumpnesia. Like amnesia only better, claiming Sidney Powell had never worked for him. Yet the video clearly shows Trump’s admitted attorney Rudy (It’s five o’clock somewhere) Giuliani, introducing Trump’s legal team. First on the list of notables, Sidney Powell.

It takes on a surreal nature, just one more lie no matter how ridiculous. So many lies and so little time. Just say anything! “Baa, baa, dee doop la Google!” Anything will do, “She never worked for me!” Dude, there are pictures of the two of you together. But it could be that Mr. Trump is just too harried to waste his creative juices on Sidney Powell. Trump gives a dog food answer instead, “who?”

The flip – o – meter is still at zero today and remains stuck at three. Three principals involved in Trump crimes cop pleas and flip on Trump. And he says, “who?” That’s gotta make you smile just for the audacity of it. Life in upside down land. But we don’t know what we don’t know. It’s not what we know the Flippers could say but… what we don’t know, “And then he said!”

But this is a significant tightening of the noose around Trump. He now has to go into court with two co-conspirators each ready and willing to testify against him. Poor Rudy tangled up in his own incompetence and John Barleycorn. And every time he takes his legal beating and crawls away towards the periphery, he gets dragged back into the middle of it. Rudy was Sidney’s boss.

Four Seasons, runny hair dye, working for Rudy in the Trump machine Rudy. What was it like working for Rudy Giuliani? What was your average day like? Something tells me, not good. How could Trump go along with Rudy? How did anyone ever fail to tell Trump to whisper casually in his ear, “Psst, not Rudy. You don’t want to put Rudy in charge.” I’ve only seen the man for at most five minutes at a time and I could tell him, “Rudy’s not your boy.”

Was Trump told and just ignored the Rudy warnings? Was Rudy the favorite Trump court toady? Rudy created a blizzard of legal bullshit attempting to assist Trump in overthrowing the government. Rudy led the legal propaganda media operation. To throw up a smoke screen of legal hysteria that would burn quick and hot but couldn’t last. The job was to cast doubt on the election, and they did that. But the legal ramifications of playing fast and loose with the court system soon became apparent.

Like all coup d’états, it’s all or nothing at all. Either you win or you wish badly you had. There is no in between.

George (Comic Relief) Santos, the Jon Lovitz impersonator on Capitol Hill, says there was a plot to kidnap George’s five-year-old niece. Police shake their heads and roll their eyes as the boy cries wolf. Asserting their belief that there was no plot to ransom Red Chief. That it was just George being George again. Sorry to bother you ma’am.

George’s criminal career would make even Trump smile in admiration. The charges against George are stout and piling up, wire fraud, Identity theft and conversion. Resign, what for? George’s next address will likely have a C/O in it. George says he has faced threats since his past of serial lying was exposed. Liars are always exposed to blackmail because no one will believe them. But their reputation is too sullied to be injured all that much. What could they ever say about George to lower our esteem of him?

The Congressional Republicans are meeting behind closed doors trying to hammer out an agreement on the next Speaker. Word to the wise children, don’t fire anyone until you are sure you have an acceptable replacement. Kevin McCarthy wasn’t much, but he looks golden from here Pony boy. A turd in the hand is worth two in the bush.

But as Jim (Icarus) Jordan fell to earth, the Sedition Caucus was sent into purgatory. But the issue of swearing a loyalty oath is still in force. The next speaker must admit with his or her own mouth the 2020 election was on the level. They must admit that Trump lost the election fair and square. Seven of the nine candidates now being considered are election deniers. See the problem?

Mitt Romney has new book coming out tentatively titled, “FUCK YOU GUYS! I’m going home.” Mitt is having a Mitt fit, plunking them down and not sparing the shot. Trump was a dimwit celebrity and Ron DeSantis was a man absent warmth. So cold, they kept their beer in Ron’s desk. Mitt is so disgusted by the clown show he’s willing to burn them all on his way out the door.

Matt Gaetz and the crazy eights, sounds like the house band at the Holiday Inn out by the airport. But is the name which Kevin McCarthy called the Sedition Caucus. The Republicans are at loggerheads over Donald Trump. Most Republicans wish to abandon Trump and move forward, back towards a more traditional Republican agenda of tax cuts for the rich, undermining public education and oppressing minorities.

The Sedition Caucus wants to try sedition again, by electing a Trump toady to sit in the speaker’s chair. The Jim Jordanaires got their hands slapped and their butts kicked but appear to be willing to try it all again. Absolutely and totally unconcerned for what this pandemonium Pig Circus looks like to the moderate suburban voter. If the Sedition Caucus can’t get their way, they will burn down the house. Because if they can’t get their way, all is lost. That’s the way sedition goes, all or nothing at all.
