In response to the latest round of indictments against him, Donald Trump has declared, “In the end, they’re not coming after me. They’re coming after you — and I’m just standing in their way.”
Um…nope.
This is such bullshit, I am stunned at how many people fall for it.
I’ve got to hand it to the whiny crybaby though, he is masterful at manipulating his supporters.
- None of them stole classified documents, refused to return them when requested, and lied about it.
- None of them (or mostly none of them) incited a riot at the capital in an attempt to overthrow the election.
- None of them spent their entire lives evading taxes and enriching themselves by screwing over others.
And yet, there are millions of people who buy into his lies, send him money and will vote for him as President, believing “he’s one of us”.
Un-f***ing-believable.
I don’t want any of my readers to misconstrue my political leanings based on this essay.
I believe 100% that Trump is a moron, a grifter, a con man and a buffoon who is only looking out for his own best interests.
I also believe that Biden, as well as 95% of most other politicians in both parties, are liars who are also looking out for their own best interests. Many of them are morons and buffoons too.
Personally, I’ve been so disappointed by all politicians, that I no longer vote.
I do want to end on a positive note though.
I have personally experienced some glimmers of hope from government officials and especially from government employees.
I am continually impressed by how Raleigh’s Park and Recreation department run and maintain the parks, the greenways and the pools.
The city’s Transportation department and Water/Sewage department do a phenomenal job maintaining the roads and our water systems.
The governor has done a fairly competent job pushing back against special interests to serve the citizens of our state, despite being hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered by a self-serving, republican legislature.
These people are the ones who affect my life, in meaningful and measurable ways on a daily basis.
