This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

It is despicably hypocritical and self-serving for Congressman James Comer and his Reich-wing henchman to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify about Jeffrey Epstein while President Pedophile still stonewalls on the Epstein files. Clearly, not seeking anything but a “gotcha” moment. The former president failed to appear, which will be big news on the petty, absurd news channels. I think it’s a mistake by the Clintons not to appear.

Bill and Hillary’s political careers are over. What do they care about what Fox or Newsmax says about them? The statute of limitations have run out. So why not testify? If they want fireworks, give them some. Tell them more than they ever wanted to know. “How did you meet Jeffrey Epstein?” Answer: Donald Trump introduced us. Old Don told me that if I liked young girls. He had a good friend of his he wanted me to meet. Boy, I remember the night Donald showed up with that shoebox full of cocaine. Man, we partied like crazy all night long!” The only person who could contradict Mr. Clinton’s testimony would be Donald Trump himself. And I don’t think he wants to talk about it.

I question the wisdom of a congressman, even a Republican. Bringing up Epstein period. Here’s Donald Trump turning backflips trying to bury the issue, and along comes old doofus Comer bringing it back up again. There’s a special place in hell for such cheap partisan monkey business on fishing trips for bogus headlines. Joe McCarthy lives! Personally, my answer to every question would be “Donald Trump and I.” Sue me! Trump would have to testify to do that, and that would bury him. “Yeah, old Donald was a real connoisseur of Kidde porn.” I think stormtrooper Comer would have the Clintons out the door before the first restroom break.

Help wanted: Apply within. Six federal prosecutors have now resigned over the Renee Good case. The Injustice Department won’t hold a civil rights investigation into Good’s death. And instead plans to make it a witch hunt into Good and her partner. A show trial that is certain only to inflame the masses even further. The administration doesn’t realize it yet, but they’re playing to empty bleachers. The cheering crowds and popcorn vendors at the rallies are long gone. The Injustice Department resignations aren’t unprecedented, but they do signal we’re moving into a new territory. When well-paid prestige lawyers begin to abandon their well-paid, prestige positions, it signals the end is near. And soon, those who remain behind will be the ones ruining their careers. Ask Bob Barr if you don’t believe me.

The Trump junta no longer tries to convince the crowd. They just throw up some slapdash bullshit. Shrug their shoulders and say, believe it or not! The administration points to slightly lower inflation numbers and shouts, I did that! What a good boy am I? And all they had to do was drive the economy into a recession. (Go figure!) Look! I cured the roach problem by burning down the house. President Trump visited the one still operating auto factory in the United States under his “Rent a President” program. Ask about our low, low rates! Events! Birthday Parties, Bar Mitzvahs!

The President was in Detroit to open the auto show where manufacturers display this year’s crop of unaffordable autos. Trump being Trump, had to be directed with hand signals when he started to drift off on the subject of fuel economy. “He’s against it.” And yes, an autoworker flipped Trump off and called him a “pedophile protector.” But that’s hardly news, and there are millions of Americans who would do the same thing. Newsflash: Sun to rise in the East!

Have you noticed? Venezuela is off the table and not to be spoken about anymore. The administration hosted oil company executives only to have them disparage Trump’s pet project. Then the administration got slammed in the polls. Just put it all away and don’t talk about being the president of Venezuela any more. Move on to Greenland and Iran! The premier of Greenland says, “Greenland isn’t for sale.” Trump answers, “Oh, yeah! We’ll just see about that!” If at first you don’t succeed, stupid, stupid, stupid again. America First? Whatever happened to America First? President Napoleon rides off on his white horse of conquest. With a theme of international thievery running through it all. Why buy minerals from Greenland, when you can just steal them?

President Trump encourages Iranian protests. Keep it up! See if I care, how many of you dumb suckers get killed! I’ll be there soon! On the wings of my almighty military. Too dumb to realize that he’s helping to keep the mullahs in power. Too dumb to understand Donald Trump’s brand is unpopular no matter what land you visit. He sees what goes on in Tehran and tries to imitate it in Minneapolis. Iranian protests “Good!” American protests “Bad!”

The president made a speech in Detroit which can only be described as unhinged and delusional. Did you hear about it on the national news? Of course you didn’t! It’s sane washing 101. That’s how delusional and unhinged the speech really was. You wouldn’t want a speech like that to go public. Mr. Trump rambled and rattled off all of his favorite laments and complaints. Only it was difficult to know who he was speaking to. It was like someone in an asylum talking to themselves and referring to themselves in the third person. Laughing and telling himself little private jokes he hadn’t heard before. Lucid it was not. Sane it was not.

This administration lives in cartoon town. Who framed Roger Rabbit? They present a characterization of an administration. They present for your edification a play act of an administration. And if the play doesn’t work, they bring down the curtain and close the show. And then, they present something new for tomorrow. They do what they do, and create a cover story for it tomorrow. And as the administration begins to disintegrate it tries to project strength. They ignore the issues of the day unless the news is good and they can profit from it. They do their best, and if it doesn’t work out, they bury the story. A criminal regime only pretending to care. Putting on a good show. A new show every day. But soon, the curtain will fall because it has to fall. Insanity and criminality are a bad mix at the variety playhouse.

“What did the onion juice do? It did what the world and the sorrows of the world could not do: it brought forth a round, human tear. It made them cry. At last they could cry again. To cry properly, without restraint, to cry like mad. The tears flowed and washed everything away. The rain came. The dew. Oskar has a vision of floodgates opening. Of dams bursting in the spring floods. What is the name of that river that overflows every spring and the government does nothing to stop it?” ― Günter Grass
