We all know it. We see it every day. It’s all around us. It’s an incontrovertible fact.
Everything tRump Touches Dies
Look at his extensive list of business failures, crashed marriages and the broken reputations of his appointees, aides and enablers. He is the kiss of death, writ stupid. His current crop of the worst and the dullest doesn’t know it yet (too damn dull), but they are all just dead henchweasels walking.
That brings us to a question for the times (no, not the NYTimes, they have some bright spots, but are far too invested in providing for wingnut welfare)
Who should he touch next?
This is a harder question than it seems at first glance. tRump is a finite resource. He can only effectively touch a limited number of targets before his pending incarceration. He’s already touched a lot of things that are in rapid decline and wouldn’t really benefit from extra touches, like Martha McSally’s chances of winning an election. So, the question really is:
How can we encourage him to touch people and things that have, so far, escaped his attention but are deserving of the disturbing caress of the stubby fingered vulgarian?
I’ll propose an obvious choice to receive the tRump treatment.
Mike Turzai, the republican Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives didn’t tell Democrats in the House about a positive test result from one of his members, Andrew Lewis, for at least a week after he got the information. Turzai, Lewis and the republican PA leadership need to hug it out with tRump.
Normally, I’d pull together a list of thugs and bullies in need of a healthy dose of comeuppance and suggest they be attached to tRump until they curl up in fetal positions screaming, “No more! No more!” The killer cop in Minneapolis, Derek Chauvin, or any of the other dregs floating around in the cesspit of republican ideals all deserve censure and a formal laying on of the tiny hands. Who do you think is most deserving of the poisonous tRump touch?
None of them are charming rogues or charming raconteurs. They are mostly part of the Stepford republicans. Put them all together and they aren’t worth a bucket of warm spit. They are nihilists, opportunists and outright thieves bonded into an incoherent mob through their immorality, ethical failures and flagrant sociopathy.
There is nothing attractive about them. They have failed so badly at being human, they don’t even pretend anymore. They have no honor, no compassion and no restraint.
So, let’s put together a list of the worst of the worst. The ones who haven’t yet felt the sting of the tRumpian curse. I’m nominating the republican members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The floor is open for other nominations.
Up the Resistance!
Memaliciousness
The readership drive continues. It’s been nineteen days and I’ve only had to make two memes so far. You have it within your power to make me work. If you spread the word about Evening Shade and your spreadee announces themselves in the comments, you will become eligible to receive your very, very special noprize of a meme of your very own. All you have to do is jump up and get out there and start carnival barking, cajoling, proselytizing (or pimping, if you are of an irreligious bent). You could even pester and push. Procrastination is not an option — it’s a way of life.
