bookmark_borderClown’s In Charge

Remember Charle’s in Charge, and the various hijinks that ensued on it? That’s the Trump Administration. As I opined before, I expected incompetence and chaos, but I thought the adults would be in charge of the dangerous stuff, like in Trump Admin One…

Nope, the “Clown’s In Charge” aka “adults” are incompetently using Signal to communicate about top secret issues. In other words, I don’t have a problem with them using Signal, I have a problem with using it so – ridiculously – incompetently.

Competency is my main problem with Trump and his sycophants. As they clearly don’t have any, thus all their efforts will eventually fail making all their efforts fruitless and their damages temporary much like any other presidency.

Don’t believe the propaganda, outside of MAGA, Trump is hated by the majority of Americans, according to the most unbiased and reliable poll. Also, Trump didn’t win in a landslide. In fact, he eked out a very narrow victory (a much more narrow victory than Biden had in 2020). As the facts prove: Trump won [the election] with 49.8 percent, but that wasn’t a majority. With Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’s 48.3 percent and the 1.9 percent who voted for third-party candidates, more Americans voted against Trump than voted for him (See more facts here).

Bottom line, there is no way Trump 2.0 will be a success. Just like Trump 1.0, he will prove to be a textbook example of failing up.

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” ― H.L. Mencken, A Little Book In C Major

That DJT is a con-man is an objective fact. So, every “poor person” who voted for him was (and perhaps still is) a fool. It’s easy to laugh at those fools now, and smugly state “I TOLD YOU SO“, while wanting to taste their tears (like Cartman in Scott Tenorman Must Die); But, that doesn’t get us anywhere beyond smug satisfaction.

I believe that pain is a good teacher. So, perhaps their pain will lead them to the realization that there are stark consequences for electing an unapologetic criminal who only ran for office to avoid a very much deserved incarceration.

Bottom line, MAGA voters deserve what they got and I have no empathy for them, because they have no empathy for others.

Gore Vidal said: The four most beautiful words in the English language are I told you so; and on December 31, 2024, I TOLD YOU SO!

Therefore, I’m not surprised THAT things are going horribly; however, I am surprised at the speed. SO, Lets recap my new years eve predictions:

  • Trump took office and chaos and ineptitude quickly followed.
  • Pastor Johnson was given the gavel again.
  • Bitcoin crashed on February 28th, but rebounded two days later. It continues to be highly volatile, but; the “greater fool” pool just got bigger, thanks to Trump.
  • Looks like the AI bubble is getting ready to pop this year.

Looks like my pessimism was justified.
