This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Ashes, ashes all fall down. See the sky about to rain. No news is good news. The now discredited FBI informant in the now discredited Republican investigation. Has told the FBI his information came from Russian intelligence. Alexander Smirnov was lying about the Biden’s and was being used as a conduit bringing Russian propaganda directly into America’s living rooms. (A Fox News Alert!)

This is just what the Republican Party needs right now another fiasco. Another public failure and another pie in the face. Russia, Russia always Russia! “Russia, if you’re listening? We get a lot of our money from Russia!” Boy oh, boy! The Republican leadership sure is lucky their followers can’t put 2 + 2 together.

File this under “Duh!” Trump is up to his eyeballs deep in Russia, both overtly and covertly. Tucker flies to Moscow to perform Felicio. For my Republican readers; that’s not a Shakespearean tragedy, it’s a Republican porn flick as Trump encourages Russia to attack our allies. What the hell more can Donald Trump do? This all built on a foundation of January 6^th and the big lie. The big on going lie of sedition and dictatorial aspirations. All with much love for Russia and with much scorn for the United States.

Meanwhile, back at the Honeycomb hideout. Donald Trump breaks piggy banks and goes through the pockets of his old suits. Thinking perhaps maybe in more prosperous days he happened to leave $355 million in one of the pockets. Push? I’m glad you’re here. May I introduce Mr. Shove? He has come with a message for you; “cough it up fat boy!”

The state of New York says, if you don’t pay up. They’re going to destroy Trump’s illusion of wealth. They will enforce the judgement and begin changing the locks on Trump’s properties. Don jr. and Erc Trump could be evicted or forced in their late forties to start paying rent! (Oh, the humanity!) On their Trump supplied job related apartments. No company, no job. No job, no apartment. The old double whammy lose your job and suddenly forced in mid-life to begin paying rent. I tell you, life just ain’t fair!

Where or how could these two ever be rehabilitated to become gainfully employed again? Don’t say, “Would you like fries with that?” With their reputations, it would be foolish to ever let them near the till. Florida land speculation schemes or selling time shares to senior citizens maybe. Auto warranties, who knows? Hells the limit and there is no bottom!

But these are the last days of Trump’s illusion of wealth. “I sentence you to be exposed before your peers! Tear down the wall!” Trump’s wealth is his sword and shield. “I’m special because I’m rich! Richer than you and richer than everybody!” The centerpiece of his persona and once that bubble has burst and the “Under new Management” signs come out. What is left for Trump?

Any unpaid judgements or foreclosed properties will have the same effect on Trump’s business credit that it would have on yours. Trump’s credit would become radioactive and hot with gigantic red lights flashing all around. And the clock has started running. Countdown to poverty! Depending on how many coffee cans of cash are buried on Golf courses around the world or in Swiss bank accounts.

Was Donald Trump prudent? Was he a good squirrel ever planning for a legal rainy day? Or was he a devil may care, let the sky fall kind of guy? Fast as can be, they’ll never catch me!

Republicans worry that Trump’s plan B. is to loot the Republican Party treasury to finance his rather expensive and ineffective legal defense. Leaving the Party short of cash for down ballot candidates. Surprise! Trump runs off the Party Chairwoman and suggests his daughter in-law as the new Chair. Three guesses who she answers too! Trump attempting to tighten his iron grip over the Party.

Nikki Haley was asked why she would stay in a race, when so far behind. The same reason as the Washington Generals exist. Without them the Harlem Globetrotters wouldn’t have anyone to play basketball with. And despite losing every game, the Generals figure they are about due for an upset. Donald Trump answered the question for Nikki by saying, Haley didn’t know how to get out. Aw heck, that’s easy. You just say I quit and go home. But if Nikki quits, who will the orange Globetrotter play against?

Game Over! Now what should we talk about? I hear Donald Trump is going broke. He owes half a billion dollars and counting, in cash! No bubblegum cards or rare comic books accepted. No once in a lifetime ground floor opportunities, no condo in Manhattan cheap, cash only. Sir Knight thrown from his mount into the muck and mud of bitter realities and ground down on the lathe of heaven.

Trump has fallen, and he can’t get up. Stripped of credit and capital Trump will be unable to make a living in the Real Estate biz. One by one or in groups, the properties left behind will be sold off to pay for increased expenses at reduced revenues.

Consider the case of the former President of the United States turned shoe salesman. “Ladies and Gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Gather round come closer. Take a good look at this gold lame sneaker! A real beauty and available for twenty dollars US on Alibaba everyday (discounts available on orders over ninety-nine) but for YOU! Only $399.00 plus shipping and handling. Sorry, no discount codes accepted.

Hurry, hurry, hurry! Just like the gold lame sneakers Jesus once walked across the Galilee wearing. Just like the pair young George Washington wore cutting down that cherry tree!

In a way, you have to admire Trump’s spirit. They throw everything they can at him, and he just keeps plugging along. Nothing quite says, “class act” like selling gold lame sneakers while running for President between criminal court dates. Angels fear to go where mob bosses dare to tread.

Yous guys should buy my shoes because I couldn’t make them any tackier. And I figured; dumb as you guys are you’d probably like them that way, being of limited intelligence. This is what Donald Trump thinks of his supporters! This is what Donald Trump thinks is high fashion footwear for his followers. Let’s see Trump wearing his gold lame sneakers. Any questions?

This is what Donald Trump has been reduced to being. How far the finish line from here?
