Taking the Low Road

TRAGICALLY, SHOCKINGLY, but no unpredictably the reaction to Trump's multiple indictments on the right wing of Capitol Hill sank to the lowest common denominator, as the Trump movement, (oh, surprise), took the low road. Republican menbers of Congress are apparantly almost unamimously claiming that the whole affair is part of a massive conspiracy of Trump haters to "get Trump". Purely politically and personally motivated. This, of course, is insane, vile, pernicious. A few moments of logical thought should make it clear to anybody how complicated and unworkable it would be to actually force someone into the federal justice system for purely political reaons; for one, how would Trump's enemies go about stacking the grand dury with partisan Trump haters, without getting noticed or caught? Or how can it be possible for a conspiracy of thousands of people needed to steal a national presidential election to perform its task without anyone noticing or finding evidence for the theft? That they would do this, take this horribly false, malignant point of view, which is so blatantly, obviously, transparently false, reveals much about their intellect and their moral character, just as their insistance that the election was stolen reveals the same. As if the grand jury in Florida was chosen beceuse of hatred of Trump as the only prerequisite. It is obvious by now that if indeed the Donald really were to shoot somebody dead on fifth avenue that his legions of cult followers would blame it on the anti-Trump conspiracy; they made him do it, somehow. Explanations are never a problem with this crowd, because sanity is not a requirement. Among Republican presidential candidates, only Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson have the intergrity to refer to Trump's classified document heist in negative terms. Asking a Trump supporter about Trump's behavior and the response will almost invariably involve Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and any number of other people, as if bad behavior can be justified by pointing to somebody else's bad behavior, or fabricating it. Just as everyone should read the Muller report, everyone should read the indictment, which is about forty or fity pages long, much shorter than the voluminous Muller report. Nothing but diversions, and distractions. The indictment makes the case agaisnt Trump so compellingly, so convincingly, that it seems obvious that Trump is guilty as hell, so to speak, beyond the dishonest capabilities of even the most ardent MAGA members to discredit by distorting. But they'll keep trying. Themore duly authorized indictments come down against Tump, and the more overwhelmingly the evidence suporting them, the more twisted, crazy, and fantastic will become the defenders of Trump with their false realities, in their unceasing crusade to put lipstick on a pig.
