In Trumpville, They Can’t Hear Him Scream [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-07-22 By David Glenn Cox Call it the song of desperation. Donald Trump releases a 9 second clip on his spoof website with dramatic music behind it. “You better not, or, or bad things are going to happen. I mean it; real bad things could happen. Fuck around and find out!” The skies are getting darker over Trumpville. But who is Trump really talking too? His prosecutors or his cult supporters? In either case, it’s a pointless effort. The prosecutors will pay no attention, and his cultist are generally far too dim to pick up on his nuance. Or is Trump only speaking to himself? “I ain’t scared, I ain’t afraid! I ain’t afraid of no ghosts, but secretly, I’m very, very afraid!” “you better not, you hear?” The scared kitty cat hissing in the corner. You wouldn’t think so, but Donald Trump is very lucky. If he had to run for office against a competent Republican opponent, he could be in real trouble. The DeSantis campaign has gone from misstep to misstep, making a few errors in between. A lot of it looks like rookie jitters. If you’ve never done it before you’re bound to make a few mistakes. But little Ronnie’s problem is whenever he catches himself in an error. Rather than admit his mistake and move on. He tends to double down. “I meant to do that!” So now, add Ambev, parent company of Anheuser-Busch to Ronnie’s (I’m gonna get ya) list. Ronnie’s threatening to sue because their wokeness is costing the state retirement fund money. Now as a stockholder you have two choices, send a message by writing a strongly worded letter to the management or you can sell your stock. How desperate do you have to be as a candidate to try and pull crap like this, this early.” Ronnie doesn’t want to sell, because he believes it is good stock to have. Drink, drink, this Bud’s for you! He just wants to complain to show America once again, how tough he is. But he comes off as petulant. Like a sovereign citizen at a traffic stop. His supporters don’t need it and it drives away independent voters because his answer to every question is to attack and make threats. It should be obvious by the declining poll numbers, that isn’t working. DeSantis is trying to top Trump by being like Trump. You can’t top the original with tribute act. “Hey! Hey! Look at me! I’m just as crazy! See, look I’m gonna sue a corporation for being woke! Huh, huh, pretty good huh? I’m tough, why if you piss me off. I’ll call my lawyer on you! But Ronnie has a tough nut to crack (pun intended). Trump is a bonafide cult leader with a zombie army. They truly believe brothers and sisters! They believe whole-heartedly that Donald Trump is innocent of all charges. Pure as the driven snow, picked on and victimized by Democrats and the deep state. Good luck, trying to tell them you’re better than Jim Jones. Watch! I can play the guitar better than David Koresh! “There’s a lady who’s sure, all the glitters is gold and she’s buying…” Marge Tater Greene waving dick pics in a house of Congress is a strength? A dollar against a doughnut says, Marge didn’t clear that stunt with Kevin McCarthy first. “You’re not the boss of me, I’ll do what I want!” Marge is making herself the defacto Speaker due to Kevin being an invertebrate. Forcing the monkey shines Congress into a series of embarrassing votes. Voting to expunge Trump’s two impeachments from the record. “There! They never happened!” But the measure didn’t carry, “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!” Because of the weakness of the speaker, It’s a circular firing squad. Their message comes off like an Internet chat room. “Let’s impeach Joe Biden!” I thought of that first! “No, you didn’t!” Yes, I did…bitch. “No, you didn’t ya dirty hoe!” All the Republican runt runners are playing the new Jason Aldean hit song. “I’ll kick your ass if I don’t like you!” The racism charge is subtle, how could you find a courthouse anywhere in Tennessee that didn’t have a racist past attached to it? But the promotion of violence and lawlessness is overt and inescapable. A song for a January 6th afternoon. So, for the Republican runt runners. You guys like this? I do too! Stick it to them liberals, huh, huh? For Aldean it’s fifteen minutes of fame, then down the Kid Schlock route. Until finally, they cancel your gig at the brew pub, and he becomes a Facebook meme, before disappearing forever. “Where were you?” And who can ever forget the Lee Greenwood classic, “I’m Proud to be an American.” It’s a formula of original intelligence, minus creative talent. A neo-patriotic song designed to make you put your beer down and salute. Wedged in between drinking songs and cheating songs. The soundtrack of alcoholism and spousal abuse. “Cain’t drive my truck no more, the judge he put me away. Blew a 1.5 but I weren’t hurting anybody. I sure miss my girl in them tight blue jeans. She better not be cheating on me with my brother agin. I should be getting out today and I’ll make em pay!” Cowboy hat + Guitar + Formula = $$$$$ The runt runners are going to base their campaign on a country music song. “Huh, huh? Do you hear that music?” It is a jumbled mess which helps Donald Trump since the mess makes him appear to be near normal. “See, we can threaten people too! Take that liberals! Turn up the PA system Junior!” Donald Trump promises if elected, he will reverse every single thing that Joe Biden has done. There’s a candidate whose really done his homework! “If he’s for it, I’m agin it. End of story! I’ll fix everything by magic! Tehas Governor Gregg (Bubba) Abbott places floating obstacles in the river. But leaves off the attaching nets underneath. I wonder why? Too much? Too much attention? Too many dead bodies? Abbott claims he has a right to defend the sovereign Texas border. But that’s the border of the United States first. That’s why there is an imagery dotted line thru Lake Eire. Federal control extends to right here. But it’s just more of the stunt cycle. Look at me! Look at me! I’m tough too! Watch me say unhinged things. That’s it! I’m suing the beer company! I’m singing about violence! I’m suing Mickey Mouse. I’m drowning immigrants! I’m waving around dick pics! “You better not or, or, or else! I’ll get petulant on your ass.” In Trumpville, they can’t hear him scream. “The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” ― Mark Twain [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/7/22/2182783/-In-Trumpville-They-Can-t-Hear-Him-Scream Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
