Using Facts

THE GENTLEMAN, in response to my comment that the president is a criminal if only because the president himself says he is (what's wrong with asking Ukraine to investigate Biden? I can put my hands anywhere on a women's body I want, and so forth), allowed as that he is indeed disappointed with the Republicans and the president, but that he had no choice but to vote for Trump, owing to the fact that Hillary Clinton is an out and out criminal herself, a shady character with a long history of shady doing, and such. I gave my standard fact based response: in this country, you become a criminal the very moment you are convicted of a crime in a court of law, and not one moment before. Unless, of course, you brazenly go about bragging about your crimes, after the fashion of Trump. For Hillary, there is nary a parking ticket nor overdue book library fine, nothing. Dude said: she's done the crime, but she's just aint been caught yet, mainly because her husband covered for her, and her wealthy powerful father bought her way out of it. Well, the gentlemen never attended law school, and doesn't seem to know much about the late Hugh Rodham's actual financial circumstances. None of that matters, of course. It never does. Hating Hillary Clinton is sufficient, among the MAGATS, to convict her, of...whatever. Then too, Trumpers will be Trumpers. The gentleman walked away, as they all inevitably do, shaking his befuddled head. I have a friend, better described as a former friend, who insists that, hell yeah, there are some folks who are definitely gonna be brought down. The folks to whom he ominously refers are not, as you might suspect, Trump and his gangster-like associates, with their baskets full of subpoenas, convictions, and investigations. Instead, they are the very people who are staging a coup by trying to remove Trump from office. Those unscrupulous Democrats, daring to question the president's good intentions and impeccable scruples. The "deep state", fictitious though it is to anyone with an eye to reality. Foreign operatives, wanting to install one world government and currency, an "illuminatti", always shady, nameless, lurking in smoke filled rooms somewhere in the Swiss alps, or over the rainbow. Trump supporters never seem to have the names. Trump supporters seem to be disproportionately numerous among the extreme zealous evangelical Christians, awaiting, as always, the rapture. Also, Angry blue collar folk who never went to college, and last but not least, the paranormal investigators. There are surprising millions of these, eager to explain the exact manner in which exactly identified extraterrestrials are working, in league with the deep state, the liberal media, and the Democrats, to stage the fictitious anti Trumpian coup. All these groups have, ostensibly, little in common, other than a predilection for sheer fantasy, and a tendency towards zealotry. In common they have a tendency towards unmitigated, unbridled insanity.
