They’re coming to take me away(ha ha, ho ho)
I have come around to thinking this entire Trump presidency has been, and is, far more than a grift.
I’m not one who buys into conspiracy theories. And I’ve not seen this one circulate anyway so maybe it’s just the result of five years of focused attention on Donald J. Trump.
I’m beginning to believe, though, that the last four years have not been a rambling, unfocused presidency led by a moron but an ever evolving conspiracy at taking over this country by Trump and other forces.
I doubt the Russians were involved because I don’t think Putin is stupid. But he’s smart enough to go along to watch the damage Trump would do to our institutions and norms. For Putin, that would be more than enough.
But what if you believe that pushing Mark Esper out as defense secretary was necessary to be sure no one would block Trump attempting to stop the National Guard from being deployed during a planned charge against the U.S. Capitol.
Next, then, you can accept that appointing an even flunkier flunky to the job just weeks before the final coup attempt. That way Trump would have an easier time stopping the National Guard from deploying.
How many of the cabinet secretaries are ‘acting’? Therefore easier to get around?
How orchestrated was getting thousands to attend a Stop the Steal rally the day electoral votes were…
