But I Won't Lie To You About That

AS KEITH OLBERMANN  points out it is Trump and his boiler room of con jobbers who have been feeding the speculation that he's about to kick the bucket.   The "I want to get to heaven" FUCKING FUNDRAISING E-MAILS!!!  are all the cover anyone speculating that the obese old degenerate is about to die needs to make those speculations.   And on top of that there was the totally fake golfing trip with no footage of him except his fat-ass in a golf cart - and how do we know that obscure image wasn't of a body-double?  To sink to the Republican-fascist influencer level of shit.  

I can't say it as well as Olbermann does so I'd recommend listening to him before I react to this story. 


I once caused a minor stir on a liberalish blog by saying that if every Nazi spontaneously turned blue and died it wouldn't upset me.   I'd just read some accounts of them murdering Jews and Poles and Roma and other totally innocent, unarmed civilians.  And the actual day I made that comment Nazis were still entirely unacceptable by both of the two major parties in the United States - thanks to Trump Nazism is mainstream and fully represented on two of the three big cabloids in the US.   

I will admit that I will not shed a tear when Trump does die, though I may shed quite a few when the social-disease that currently goes by the name of J.D. Vance takes over for him.   As I've said so far fewer than a half a dozen times considering what the Roberts' Court has done for the stupidest, most criminal, most vulgar and ignorant clown of a Unitary Executive, made such by the Roberts Court, imagine what they'll do for J. D. Vance.    And that's not what the American free press will do for him, falling all over themselves to genuflect to the putrid tool of Thiel declaring a 3 and a half year honeymoon before they do their best to get him elected in 28.   At least Trump will be dead, which is probably the closest he will ever come to committing an act of virtue - not unlike Benedict XVI's resigning from the papacy, the only both important and decent thing he did as pope.  

There is nothing wrong in hoping for the removal by natural causes of an evil person who is actively doing evil unimpeded by the degenerate legal system and unopposed by the degenerate free press.   I have never been sentimental about the fact that we will all die and that it's a good thing for an evil person to die to remove them from harming People and other Living Things.    Trump is the most evil of American presidents,  George W. Bush was likely the second most evil one and the list of others is a long one.   There are remarkably few American presidents who were and have been anything like a moral human being.   Even the most moral of them did questionable things,  Jimmy Carter did some of those,  LBJ,  FDR,  Kennedy, Lincoln,  I'm rapidly running out of names for that list.   

I will admit that I would have been among those who rejoiced at the death of Roger B. Taney - the previous worst Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, eclipsed by the even greater darkness that is John Roberts - he was a thoroughly evil man in a dangerously powerful public office.   I would have celebrated the death of Hitler if I had been born yet and conscious of his existence.    I'd not have shed a tear to hear of the executions of the Nazis and members of the Japanese Imperial Government and been in favor of holding the emperor of Japan responsible for what he did in the many, many Nazi level crimes he OKed in Asia and elsewhere.   I would have been in favor of that if it had been done any time during my lifetime as he was PRed into a quaint old granddad with a science hobby.   Though by that time he had no actual power, unlike Trump right now.  

My question for the media is why you didn't have a fraction of the condemnation for those who called for, by implication or explicitly, the murder of Kamala Harris as she was campaigning for president - INCLUDING THOSE WITHIN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN INCLUDING TRUMP, HIMSELF.    They were calling for assassination, not for her to die of natural causes her own self-indulgence.   Name one of this Trump isn't a life-long practitioner of, pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth, literally the Seven Deadly Sins.   If he finally, in his senectitude finally succumbs to them,  well all I can say is I'm now in favor of what I was not, an age limit on all federal office holders and I'd put it at 70 for the presidency and 75 for members of Congress.   And it wasn't Trump who made me convinced of that it was Ruth Bader Ginsburg and she wasn't senile and corrupt, just fallibly unable to admit she needed to retire so a Democrat could have named her replacement.  I have the feeling that's more common among lawyers than among normal human beings.   In truth,  I was convinced of the need of a term limit for Supreme Court decades before then so she would have been term-limited out well, well before she died in office. 

If Trump stepped down from power he would enter into the realm of those who I will merely not be upset about when their vile life is finally over, as I felt when Reagan or Nixon died.  While he holds the power he uses to kill and maim and harm and destroy he makes the end of that a worthy desideratum.   The entire American media will lie to you about that, the entire political establishment will,  but I won't lie to you about that.
