Trumparalysis

Trump Plans to Release 100-Page Report on Georgia Election Fraud Claims

Liz Harrington, a communications aide described as a true believer in the former president’s lies about a stolen election, helped prepare the report. ...

Dizzy Lizzy was one of the womenz present at Bedminster when Trumpie was flashing around the Iran attack plans. Can you believe that? I'm going to type the rest of this post in true blue.

The entire GOP is afflicted with Trumparalysis. They cannot move on; they cannot escape him; they cannot get political oxygen to breathe. There are, what, a half dozen, maybe double digits? of Republicans running against Trumpie for the party nomination. But aside from Chris Christie they're too scared to criticize him, to really run against him. So they have no message except Defend Trump.  They can't even focus on fighting Biden, they're energy is all used up defending Trump, attacking the prosecutors, dismissing the indictments, "I'm running for president in support of the guy I'm running against." They don't even have his support were one of them to somehow win the nomination: Trump has refused to sign the R pledge to support whomever is the nominee. That doesn't make even a little sense. No R candidate, not Trumpie or any of the others has any message for the future. He has them all, himself included, paralyzed refighting 2020.

R voters, too. The indictments helped Trumpie! Solidified his support! Increased his fundraising! GOP voters dismiss the indictments as the "swamp" at work, the prosecutions as "weaponized". Doesn't affect their support. EXACTLY! R voters are stuck with the same ol' same ol' from 2020. They wish they had a 2024-2028 candidate--but they don't and they know they don't. He won't let them move on. That's what we want. We want Trumpie to win the nomination by acclimation! WE WANT TRUMP! The conventional wisdom is soberominous: "Trump can win. Don't count him out; Be a 🔶✋and get burned." Yeah? How many R's, even MAGA Extremists, "true believers", think he will win? Not as many as D's think he will win! 

The CW, and the polls, are wrong. Trumpie has no chance. He is going to lose, he is going to get less than the 46.1% he got in 2016 and the Party of Trump is going to get crushed.

Look at what is the Big Item on the Republican agenda: 

⭐️ Coming Monday! "Major” Press Conference! 

Complete EXONERATION!” 

“Rigged Election” in 2020.

• “All charges should be dropped”! 

“Only went after those who fought to find the RIGGERS!” ⭐️

I'm all for it and I hope it gets wall-to-wall coverage on TV. I hope the networks preempt regularly-scheduled programming for it. I think it should be mandatory that all the other R candidates be there.

Trumpie cannot resist rising to the bait. Take a step back from the moment:

Can a prostitute be the victim of rape? Yes. 

Can an election RIGGER be the victim of harassment and intimidation? Yes.

Can a crack cocaine dealer be the victim of robbery of his cooking apparatus and crack? Yes.

Can election RIGGERS be the victims of theft of their rigging equipment and rigged data?  Yes.

Can a gambling house be burglarized? Yes.

Can a legislative House be burglarized? Yes.

On and on and on. “Two wrongs don’t make a right” is the common truism; “You can’t commit crime to fight crime” is the legal near equal. "You can't take the law into your own hands'. & Etc. There are fatalities here in:


1) WHO can investigate wrongdoing;
2) WHO can decide if "all charges should be dropped";
3) WHAT MEANS even those authorized can use;
4) WHO decides what is "Irrefutable" and "CONCLUSIVE" evidence of "complete EXONERATION!", and;
5) And the FORUM for this evidence to be presented and these determinations made.

To state the obvious, the answers are

1) Not Trump or a "true believer" Trumpist.
2) Ditto
3) Lawful
4) Not Trump or "true believer" Trumpists.
5) Court, not press conference.

So Go Trump Go, and take this Potemkin party/cult with you.
