Lordy, There are Pictures 🌻🌻🌻

Holiday Happenings: Well it’s supposed to be a quiet end of summer week except it’s not because when was the last time in the days of the Former Guy that we really had a quiet news week?  Cutting to the chase, late last night, minutes before a midnight deadline, the Department of Justice filed a motion arguing against the FG’s legal team’s too late to be relevant request to have a special master appointed to review the documents that it had removed from Mar a Lago.  Taking a we’ve had it with the FG and his shenanigans approach the DOJ memo was detailed, longer than usual and especially revealing, it even included some pictures of a few of the top secret documents that the FG had hiding at his winter abode, just the outer folders rather than the actual contents because the DOJ, unlike the FG thinks that keeping secrets away from prying eyes is a good thing.  It pointed out in excruciating detail how the Federal Archives librarians, the folks that the MAGAs now want burned in effigy, had first tried asking pretty please nicely for the FG to return the purloined papers before progressing to calling in Federal agents to “seize” them from Mar a Lago in the so-called “raid.” Among the facts included in that detail was that some of the files, super-duper secret and some less so, were found in the FG’s personal office, that one of his lawyers who is now knee deep in trouble and needing of a lawyer of her own now actually signed a letter saying that all of the documents had been turned over when lots more had intentionally been withheld, and that the boxes of documents were shifted from Mar a Lago room to room in an effort to make them “disappear,” a strategy all too like a Times Square shell game, the one where the quick handed cup shifter’s buddy runs around picking pockets while the mark tries to figure out which cup is housing the rock.  Only this time the DOJ wasn’t playing mark or victim.  A few more things worth noting before moving on, the CIA has lost more of its human assets than usual over the past few years maybe due to the mishandling of secret stuff by a certain FG, a woman is being investigated for lying about being a Rothschild heiress while  infiltrating Mar a Lago, mingling with guests including the FG and Lindsey Graham, and Tony Ornato, the Secret Service Assistant Director who at one point was on the FG’s staff and who according to one time FG aide Cassidy Hutchinson told her about the FG’s freak out on January 6^th put in his retirement papers yesterday.     

The Whole Re-Truth: The FG who has finally found himself a real lawyer, Christopher Kise who is a former Florida Solicitor General and associate of Ron DeSantis, to represent him in the stolen documents case, must have seen this coming.  He spent his day frenetically “truthing” and “re-truthing” on his financially teetering imitation Twitter social media platform.  Those missives included quite a few from the Q set, you know the criminally crazy crowd who want to see the US government overthrown so that all the Democrats who they claim are pedophiles can be replaced with right wing anarchists who really are.  Among those re-truths was as least one calling for the demise of the current POTUS and Speaker of the House. Notably, Google won’t allow the Truth Social app on its app store, something to do with the company’s failure to adequately moderate content, in other words Google, unlike Apple, isn’t comfortable with calls to decapitate Biden and Pelosi.  We’ll have to wait a bit to see how the FG’s supplicants and frighteningly large fan base react to the DOJs latest filing but it’s fair to assume that Senator Lindsey Graham who over the weekend suggested and by suggested think threatened that there would be riots in the streets if the FG was indicted for his crime will have something truly awful to say. Of course the FG also “truth-ed” out Lindsey’s threat.  It’s not clear if any of the stories reported earlier in the week about the FG’s stolen stash including some dirt on French President Macron’s love life are true, not that anyone would care because who doesn’t think that Macron has a love life worth noting, but  given the garbage coming from Lindsey, it’s fair to speculate that the FG has some really good stuff on him because how else to explain the depths of Lindsey’s depravity?  And of course, the right wing press is going all in on Hillary’s emails and Hunter’s laptop right now.  As to that laptop, because of it the FG wants the 2020 election called in his favor or at the very least he wants a mulligan.

And:  Lots of other things happening like President Biden continuing to call out the MAGA party for what it’s doing to democracy,  the death of former USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev, the lack of any drinking or even bathing acceptable water in Jackson, Mississippi because of all those infrastructure weeks that never happened and the failure of that state’s government to take care of it’s own but it’s a holiday week so I’ll quit now.
