This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Now the gloves come off. Now we can say just what we’re really thinking. What the hell! What do I care now, what you people think of me? Now! Now that all my dreams of power and a bright future are over. What do I care? Do you think anyone will ever take a Ron DeSantis Presidential run seriously again?

“Nikki Haley is afraid to debate because she doesn’t want to answer the tough questions such as how she got rich off Boeing after giving them millions in taxpayer handouts as governor of South Carolina. The reality is that she is not running for the nomination, she’s running to be Trump’s VP. I won’t snub New Hampshire voters like both Nikki Haley and Donald Trump, and plan to honor my commitments. I look forward to debating two empty podiums in the Granite State this week.” – Ron DeSantis

Fortunately, unfortunately, or eventually, the debate has been canceled due to the lack of candidates. All but ceding the Party nomination to Trump. Leaving only Donald Trump and Nikki Haley standing on the stage. Nothing and less than nothing, a heavyweight criminal or a lightweight former one-term small state Governor.

Pee Wee Herman taking on the orange Hulk Hogan.

Trump toggles between winning the Iowa Caucuses to appearing at the E. Jean Carroll Defamation trial. Round two, “He Just Had to Open His Big Mouth.” Is this what we are to expect for the next year? Campaign today and courtroom tomorrow? Trump the eternal victim dragging his cross towards Golgotha. Candidate/victim, Victim/candidate.

Evoking sympathy today as “poor, poor Donald Trump” oppressed victim of the Democrats and  pawn of the deep state. Tomorrow – omnipotent would-be strongman and dictator. Ready to lead the heroic putsch towards a right-wing Fascist strongman. Complete with concentration camps and mass deportations. Victim/strongman, Strongman/victim.

Nikki Haley wants Trump to come down from his lofty unapproachable roost with his big fat 30-point lead and debate her. Even Trump’s not that dumb. Why should he sit in a dunking booth for an hour and let your opponent throw baseballs at you with nothing to gain. But that’s Nikki’s only criticism. No mention of Trump’s ninety something indictments. No mention of Trump trying to overthrow the government. Mentioning one’s past sedition just isn’t done in South Carolina, for obvious reasons.

Nikki says, “America” was never a racist country. She’s still trying to get that slavery question taste out of her mouth and keeps stumbling over her own feet. You tell them that was 150 years ago, and you’re not going to argue history and semantics with them when we’re trying to build a better America today! But, but, but that would take backbone. And Nikki’s nice, she’s not ever mean.

Ron DeSantis wouldn’t dare to criticize Trump. Time after time, Trump has gone after Ron calling him Ron DeSanctimonious or reheated tofu. DeSantis responds with, “That’s your opinion mister! My mom thinks I’m cool.” Ron like Nikki won’t call Trump out on his criminal endeavors. That’s off limits! Verboten!

The dirty little secret and the body in the window seat which nobody wants to talk about. Do you want to be President or not? How can you run against the most criminal candidate in human history and not mention Godzilla has scales, breathes fire and is bad for mass transit? Will Mr. Trump now admit that he lost the 2020 election fair and square? Will Mr. Trump now admit it was all a big lie? Will Mr. Trump promise to abide by the results of the election? Now, you think up a question they wouldn’t dare ask Donald Trump.

Nope, Donald Trump won’t debate me! Gosh darn it! (stomp)

I had prophesied Nikki was only running for VP and appreciate the corroboration from any source. Trump has lambasted Nikki calling her “birdbrain” on several occasions. Would Trump then turn around and select “birdbrain” as his VP? What choice does Trump have at this point? Who wants Mike Pence’s old job? (crickets) No resumes on file sir.

The Republicans have a female problem with the electorate making it is almost a requirement for Trump to pick a female running mate, “birdbrain” or not. The comedy duo of “Turd brain and “birdbrain” as the standard bearers of the please excuse my many felonies Party. My dog ate my homework, they will really believe anything Party.

Around 750 of January 6^th defendants have been tried for their crimes.  467 have been sent to prison, do they belong there? Are they really hostages?

This is about building the new Trump Tower of babble. Trump babbles and controls the conversation. Never allowing himself to be forced to answer any uncomfortable questions. He is immune from Republican questions because they won’t dare ask him. No matter how badly they say they want the job.

At this point in history, I’d question the intentions of anyone desiring a spot on the Trump Ticket. It’s an express train to loserville with no apparent upside. The folding of the faux candidate’s tents brings an end to the excitement of their faux candidacy. Ho hum, Trump’s the nominee again and is due back in court again tomorrow.

Trump has taken the Republican Party as his hostage. So don’t you dare say a god damned word about his crimes, or else. No one is allowed to mention any phony electors. No one is allowed to say “Sedition or Indictments” are we clear on this? So just don’t say nothing and we will be fine. Are we clear?
