Shootout at the GOP Corral
If you were dreading another two years of the interminable election cycle, probably canceling your newspapers and substituting subscriptions to entertainment channels, plugging your ears and avoiding MSNBC and maybe waiting til the dust clears in 2024 before pulling the quilts down from over your head and leaving your bed … well, you got some good news. Trump plans to tip the checkerboard for the Republicans, the House is going to divide up sides for some serious tag team no-holds-barred smackdown wrestling, and you can expect some cliff hanger serials with plenty of violence and mayhem to get you through those lonely nights coming up. Trump is running again and you best believe the Republicans are going to war with themselves.
I guess if you honestly believe Trump won the last election, well, hell, run him again. Just make sure the voting machines aren’t cooked, the dead aren’t voting, the ballots aren’t stuffed, the mail-ins are banned, the gerrymandering continues, the lines in the inner cities are long and the polling places few. Just to get the ball rolling, the President-in-Exile announced from his palace in Mar-a-Lago that the new slogan for his campaign will be — cue the trumpets— Make America Great and Glorious Again. I guess that first term of his didn’t really make the cut. Maybe hold off on the Glorious and get the Great accomplished. Or … I don’t know, triple down and Make America Great and Glorious and Glamorous Again. Just need a bigger ballcap to read MAGAGAG. Costs slightly more, all proceeds going to the Trump charity.
Down in Florida they must be drinking the swamp water, all I can figure. DeSantis runs ads that on the 8th Day the Lord made a warrior. Him. Not to be outdone, Trump wants a glorious second coming, another Rome with him as Caesar. Must be some biblical prophecy needing fulfilled for these guys. If the Lord is working overtime now, adding days to Her week to get the job done, maybe it’s time to take a rest.
You were probably thinking you deserve a rest. Sorry, looks like a long slog from here to election day 2024. Like they say, it ain’t over til the Fatboy squeals. Or something like that. Might be a fine time to read some good books.

Republicans are already lining up for the best position in a circular firing squad, each one wanting to outdo the other demonstrating why he or she would be the best candidate to protect our 2nd Amendment rights, figuratively speaking that is.
I give equal odds on Ponce de Leon returning from the dead and finally finding the fountain of youth, and Trump getting the nomination in 2024. A few more sink holes at Mar-a-lago though, and at least he’ll have all the swamp water he can drink.
Considering the circular firing squad … for once I’m in favor of the second amendment. Let em eat lead. The Prez-in-Exile probably should’ve listened to some sane folks, not Rudy, not Lindsay, and defintitely not Marjorie Taylor Greene, maybe some boxers who thought a comeback was in the cards but a few brain damaged years later, regretted the vicious beating on that last two rounder. The folks who thought their skins were saved by not denouncing this guy, they got a heavy rock to push up hill. I don’t wish em luck. In fact, I’m counting on the boulder rolling back down. Unfortunately we haven’t seen the last of these yahoos. Still, a Trump candidacy should give us hope that the Era of the Wingnut Party is soon to be relegated to the compost heap of history. My apologies to Matt Goetz and Marjorie. You make me ashamed to be human.
