Trump, Keeping Control

YOU CAN watch the news on any given day, and within minutes get some good material to think, talk, or write about. You can turn down the volume, and get your amazement by just reading the headlines. These days, it doesn't take long to become amazed, unless you're one of the lucky ones who has become oblivious to it. "DOJ To Investigate E. Jean Carroll" rolled across the screen and caught my attention this morning. This really shouldn't seem surprising by now, but in a nation with a traditional democracy, its rather hard, as millions have discovered, getting used to having your government taken over by a gang of fascists, through the elecoral process.Many women have accused Trump of raping them, a couple of dozen, if not more. There seems to be a pattern. Most of these alleged victims have been mree inconvneiences rather than problems to Trump ever since, who has apparently spent millions of dollars to pay the ladies off, to keep them quiet, under control. But of course Donald J. Trump has never been one to be content by merely keeping anything or anybody under control. He is much more the dominate and destroy type. So now don the Con, ever ready to exact harsh retirbution for alleged slights, has decided to sic the FBI on the poor hapless lady. She is to be investigated, thoroughly, for nothing and everything in particular; id you dig deep enough, you will either strike pay dirt, or fabricate some. Joseph P. Kennedy allegedly asid about his son Robert F.: "When Bobby hates you, you stay hated." This mafia mentality of revenge and reprisal is at the rotten core of the thoroughly rotten heart and soul of our current chief executive. Trump's had so many people accuse him of doing so many nefarious things, and has accused so many people of nefarious behavior - at one point he was involved in an incredible four thousand law suits, many of them accusing Trump of something, many others in which Trump accuses somebody of something, that one or two lawsuits, more or less, either way, would normally merely blend in with the rest, and og largely unnoticed by the media and general public. Most of them see to linger in abjudication for years, even decades, dragging on. Trump actually seems to be trying to run out the clock on looming potentially unfavorable verdicts. But E. Jean Carroll has been lurking, a thorn in Trump's side for years, the wounded MAGA-Christ, the splinter resistant to extraction. But the don always gets his revenge, and revenge, says an old Spanish proverb, is a dish best served cold. E. Jean Carroll is almost certainly clean, unblemished by personal scandal, with little or no dirt to dig up. Investigations skake up up people's lives, clean or otherwise, by turning the upside down. To be investigated is sometimes the same as being punished, victimized by revenge. Somehow you, and probably she, knew all along that she could not elude the wrath fo the don forever. Her time has come, evidently, to take a hit from the mafia don, the don of dons, as they say. At this point you wouldn't be surprised if she up and vanished altogether, sleeping with the fishes, as they say, with Jimmy Hoffa, at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Trump brings lawsuits for revenge, lawsuits his lawyers know will be thrown out of court by any sane judge. Its comforting to know that E. Jean Carroll is, in our legal system, largely beyond the reach of Trump, or so it seems. If she keeps her mouth sut and quietly goes away, she'll probably be just fine. But if she ever decides to write and publish a book, which is exactly what seems to be happening now, to seek public attention for her history with Trump, don't be surprised if, in the middle of her book tour, she turns up missing, and is never found.
