Justice Matters

Don't forget:

Trump brags about sending the FBI to Florida to make sure DeSantis got elected - along with US Marshals and Meal Team 6 and Mary-fucking-Poppins - or whatever the hell he's on about.

And maybe he did, but I'm betting he didn't. I'm betting it's just more bluff-n-bluster, but also too, he doesn't say that kinda shit without motive.

It's a variation on "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue". It's a little shocking for normal people, but the effect is to feed the revenge fantasies of the rubes.

It lets them think the unthinkable. For the most part, on the outside, they're going to say it's just metaphorical - "he's just illustrating how great it is that he has our full support".

But ...


What sounds like boasting ("I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes") may be intended to soft-peddle some horrific thing they've done, or intend to do, which makes the "boast" instructive as to what the devotees will be expected to embrace.

So then it becomes a promise to use the power of the presidency to do the usual shitty things that autocrats do - particularly: "punish our opposition".

Trump may be diving for cover by "owning" his actions - walking around saying "Yeah, I did that - what do you think you can do about it?"
  • He may be lying
  • He may be telling the truth
  • He may be throwing this out in front of us in order to cover for some other shitty thing he's done
It doesn't matter. Not to him. He has to disrupt in order to call attention to himself, so the Press Poodles will put him on camera, so he can rouse the rabble to come to his defense.

Without direct media exposure, he withers and dies.

For we the people - we're starving for accountability.
