Just when you thought it couldn't get any stranger...even Hunter S. Thompson could never have dreamed of these levels of WEIRD...
Manafort was found guilty on 8 charges. 5 false income tax returns, one count of failing to report his foreign accounts, and two counts of bank fraud (and a partridge in a pear tree).
Cohen turned himself over to the FBI and took a plea bargain for 8 guilty pleas. The counts against Cohen included tax fraud, false statements to a bank and campaign finance violations tied to his work for Trump, including payments Cohen made or helped orchestrate that were designed to silence women who claimed affairs with the then-candidate.....and then he implicated Donald Trump as issuing the criminal directives. (falala la la la lah)
GOP Duncan Hunter and wife were arrested, and charges with multiple crimes/fraud. (The Perfect Pre-holiday Trifecta)
Handcuffed.
Jailed.
Somebody better tell The Donald that he is literally surrounded by Witches!!!
Then the guy named Pecker (insert your own dumb joke here) that has The National Enquirer is given Immunity to divulge all the dirt he has collected,
Mueller: Fuck me???? No. No. Fuck you...you Orange Twit.
So here we are.
Even the GOP who have been like *crickets* during most of the insanity are starting to back away slowly.
A few jumping from the side of the ship altogether.
A fellow resister made me laugh out loud when she commented on Tuesday night:
"It's riding a unicorn over a rainbow eating a hot fudge sundae!"
to which I added
"While petting a fuzzy purring kitten!"
Mike Pence is silent- as he has been so for quite some time.
"Trump...I think he brought coffee in sometimes..."
"Do you remember him? That guy who played a lot of golf and smelled like Big Macs"
Rudy promising riots in the street by Trumps supporters if he is impeached.
I doubt that we will even notice since the rest of us (70+ %) will be laughing, partying and dancing in those same streets.
So yes...although these things take time...the tide is turning.
And it was a very very promising week, politically.
More as it comes...
