Gloat While You Still Can

“The hour is much later than you think…on multiple fronts: Financial, political, medical and geopolitical.” — Edward Dowd.

In the pre-gloat hours before the verdict in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, Lawfare caporegime Andrew Weissmann (“Mueller’s Pitbull”) confessed Valley Girl style from his MSNBC clubhouse perch, “. . . I mean, I am, like, now I have a man-crush on him, he is such a great judge!” Bromance on, looks like! If the two happen to frequent the same athletic club in downtown Manhattan, Judge Merchan better be careful in the post-workout shower when he bends over to pick up the soap. The Pitbull cometh!

Of course, the Alvin Bragg victory in the artfully constructed “Stormy Daniels Payoff Case” decided late Thursday calls to question how come the Mueller Special Counsel Probe into 2016 election interference (actually run by Mr. Weissmann, due to Mr. Mueller’s declining cognitive ability) failed to spot the same web of evidence — hard as they toiled, and they had a good two years and millions of taxpayer dollars to git’er done?

My guess: too many white lawyers on the Mueller staff. Everybody knows now from watching the latest crop of television commercials that white people are unusually stupid and helpless and cannot cope with common problems without assistance from helpful people of color (POCs). So, God bless Alvin Bragg for finally fixing what Bob Mueller’s fifteen bloodhounds led by a pitbull somehow botched.

The former president is now convicted on thirty-four counts of book-keeping errors in furtherance of an alleged 2016 federal election violation that the Federal Election Commission declined to charge — that is, paying a porn star to sign a non-disclosure agreement about a sexual liaison — because it is not a crime under federal election law, and about which the head of the FEC, James E. “Trey” Trainor III, was barred by Judge Merchan from testifying on during the course of the trial for reasons yet unknown.

Of course, that is but one of a great many points of law that will merit appeal in what everybody — even some white people (people of non-color, PONCs) — knows was a case so crookedly contrived that it is fated to get tossed in the higher courts, and probably with harsh remonstrance to the degenerate officers of the court who brought it and adjudicated it. But you will have to wait on that because the mills of the law grind slowly.

Now, in the radiance of the full Woke gloat, we await Judge Merchan’s sentence, to be announced a mere few days before the Republican Convention in Milwaukee in early July. Jail time at Rikers? Home confinement (with ankle bracelet)? Severe travel restrictions? Reporting to a parole officer? Drug tests? Hey, No one is above the law! It is hard to imagine that the judge will demur from inflicting maximum humiliation on this wanton repeat violator (thirty-four times!) of book-keeping errors. It would tend to interfere with the presidential candidate’s campaign schedule, but so what? Where does it say in the Constitution that an election must be fair?

Or Judge Merchan could suspend all that pending appeal and just allow Mr. Trump to go about his election business free on bail. But why would he? After all the trouble he went to. And all the glory he’s reaping for it. “Joe Biden’s” party has Mr. Trump exactly where they want him, they think: pinned down like a moth in a shadow-box, inert and pathetic. (But, in reality, more like King Kong, chained in the rank basement below the stage of a Broadway theater before busting loose in midtown and upending subway cars so as to devour the little humans tumbling out like so many tic-tacs.)

Expect Mr. Trump’s lawyers to file writs to the SCOTUS requesting expedited attention to the denial of due process issues and the election interference question. The situation is comparable to the year 2000 presidential race, where the SCOTUS stepped in on probable cause that the lower court (in Florida that time) had violated the Equal Protection clause of the constitution.

In the meantime, through the luminescent fog of gloat, perhaps you did not notice that “Joe Biden” took a giant step yesterday toward commencing World War Three. The move was framed as the US gives Ukraine permission to use American missiles to strike deep within Russia. That was a bit disingenuous, you see, because Ukraine’s military lacks the know-how to actually launch the missiles, so American military “advisors” will have to be on hand to do it, meaning US military personnel will commit an act of aggression upon Russia.

Voila! That world war you’ve all been clamoring for. . .? The perfect climax to “Joe Biden’s” catastrophic, fraudulently-acquired term in office. I scent the acrid, burnt-flesh odor of miscalculation here, as of a bunch of American cities get turned into radioactive bonfires that will blot out that sublime luminosity of gloat......

I seriously doubt we are having a November election. That’s where all of this is headed. How many rallies does Trump have to stand in front of a microphone and say the court cases are fake? How many times does he have to say the election should be paper ballots, voter ID and same day voting? How many times does Trump have to say this election is not going to be like any other we’ve experienced?

My prediction has not changed much in two years. By end of summer we are going to be in the worst constitutional crisis this country has ever experienced.

There will have to be some type of intervention. Perhaps they’re planning to use jailing Trump as an excuse. The 2020 election still has to be cleared up.

we’ll be able to see what this verdict does to DJT by counting the number of “Don’t Vote For A Convicted Felon” ads that Rat Party Headquarters runs in the coming months. Then fewer that they run the more we’ll know that *they* know that it won’t help them.

I agree with you. And nothing will be done about it. Everything that has happened since the Steal of the election of 2020. the Republican Party has fully approved and aided and abetted in. They want to get rid of President Trump more than the Democrats do.

You mean FJB’s minions ran the ballots through the vote counting machines over and over and over until they had enough votes.

Just off the top of my head I can think of at least 6 or 7 Republicans that probably got drunk for joy when that verdict was read.

Oh I agree. My hope is in Gods mercy that this will be overturned quickly. But you are right to fear that the USA now has the government it deserves.

And I sincerely hope that you didn’t feel I was unloading on you personally. Emotions are high and raw. This was not my objective.

There is no way that Fair and Square can happen now. Too much meddling by courts & prosecutors. Too much fraud perpetrated in too many elections in the past.

I predict that Trump will be jailed he will win by 10 points, but somehow lose by .001% in all swing states 1-2 weeks after election day.

I expect nothing less than a civil war (hot or cold) caused by the Democrats...Again!

There won’t be a civil war. Perhaps a “real” insurrection in diverse areas when they finally outlaw gun ownership in America, though. They will use foreign troops with no allegiance to this country to do their dirty work. I fear the time for pushback has long passed.

And they know if they don't win the next one, it's treason charges all around.

Given the penalty for treason, wining really is a matter of life and death for them.

NOTHING is off the table absolutely NOTHING!

“I’m not getting the gloat while-you-can angle. The players attacking president Trump will never face any retribution whatsoever.”

Sorry, responding to a three day old post but here it is. From the article:

“The perfect climax to “Joe Biden’s” catastrophic, fraudulently-acquired term in office. I scent the acrid, burnt-flesh odor of miscalculation here, as of a bunch of American cities get turned into radioactive bonfires that will blot out that sublime luminosity of gloat.”

This is my take, not the article’s:

Biden demoralizes half the country openly showing the rot and corruption of America’s political system (similar to demoralizing Europe by flooding their people with hostile migrants). Then he practically announces war on Russia the same day. Today it is reported France is about to send troops to Ukraine. NATO is about to go to war with Russia.

Suddenly pressure on China and Iran is relieved. It’s time for them to make their move. Especially if Trump is sentenced to prison, elections postponed, a month long vote counting this fall with Biden suddenly gaining enormous numbers of mystery votes, there are any number of possibilities.

Things could change very quickly on the international stage very quickly.

When change on the foreign front comes quickly the corrupt blob in DC, NOVA, Maryland and Manhattan will be in for a rude surprise.

Especially when half of the people in America (and Europe for that matter) will refuse to fight for them.
