A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

Really? Actually (kinda grudgingly or something) facing the music?

I see no facing of music here. Just whiny faux-martyrdom. “I didn’t do anything wrong but go ahead and throw me in jail anyway because God will get you for it!”

Well, yes, many major religions teach that the righteous receive the consequences of their righteousness in Heaven.

Lots of stern looks.

Gotta hand this to Rudy, he’s sticking to his guns to the very end, just like King Arnulf.

Rudy - please sit down for this - seems confused.

Does Rudy know something we don’t?……is he trying to “get ahead” of an upcoming story to put his spin on it first?

Oh, I hope so………please let him be setting us up for …….I wanted to get arrested……I wanted to go to jail……this is all part of my plan to expose the RADICAL SOCIALIST LEFT….!!

I really don’t think he’s that coherent, but it seems like going to jail is on his mind…….he’s probably seen the process play out enough from the other side to know he’s going down soon.

Please Please Please let him get arrested, hopefully this week. Alexander Vindman’s book is being released tomorrow and it would be a great tie-in.

If you subscribe to The Atlantic, check out this excerpt. If you don’t, it’s worth one of your free views. He does a good job of explaining concisely why Trump’s extortion of Zelensky posed an existential threat to Westetn Europe, not just the US.

Remember GETTR, the new social media platform that was supposed to broadcast the MAGA message past the gatekeepers of Big Tech[tm]?

Well, it’s broadcasting somebody’s message…

Just weeks after its launch, the pro-Trump social network GETTR is inundated with terrorist propaganda spread by supporters of Islamic State, according to a POLITICO review of online activity on the fledgling platform…

Well Republicans should love this;

  • no censorship
  • no government interference
  • very religious
  • intolerant of gay rights, women’s rights and equality of races

It really is a perfect match.

First Parler gets flooded with porn, spam, and porn spam, then Frank fails to launch properly, and now this. It’s almost as if Trump supporters are terrible at running things competently.

It’s their core competency.

The message he is putting out is largely correct, I believe:

Graham, in his statement, touted the vaccine, saying that if he wasn’t vaccinated “my symptoms would be far worse.”
“I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now," he said.

Unfortunately, that’s not the message the MAGAsses are likely to come away with. They’re more likely to consider Graham’s infection proof positive that vaccines are ineffective, if not a government plot to inject Og knows what into unsuspecting sheeple’s bodies.

Then they’ll head down to the farm supply store and stock up on horse-grade Ivermectin (none of that namby-pamby human dosage). And maybe take some right off the bat, “just to be on the safe side.”

And wind up in the ER anyway, since horse doses of Invermectin are toxic to humans. Where they will learn that there are no beds available because they’re all full of COVID patients.

Alas. Alackaday. Woe is they.

That part is correct. Calling it a “breakthrough infection” is not. A breakthrough infection is contracting seriously symptomatic COVID despite being fully vaccinated. Those events are exceedingly rare. Merely testing positive after being vaccinated isn’t all that unusual. It does, however, likely mean that the individual is contagious to the unvaccinated.

I don’t think that’s the way the term is being widely used. If you google “what is a breakthrough infection” the first page (at least) of answers look like this one from the Wall Street Journal:

What is a breakthrough infection?

A breakthrough infection is when someone who received a Covid-19 vaccine contracts the virus more than 14 days after they have been fully vaccinated.

You’re quite right. It appears that the expectation is that a vaccinated person should not test positive after 14 days, and any such positive test – symptomatic or not – is regarded as “breakthrough”. Thanks for the correction.

… which will be Biden’s fault.

Or Obama’s. Or Hillary’s.
