When the story broke about the Idiot calling the Georgia Secretary of State, and spending just over an hour begging, wheedling, threatening and slyly suggesting...that Brad Raffensperger 'find' the necessary 11,780 votes to flip the election.....I was incredulous. I mean, how could anybody be so amazingly dense as to think this was acceptable? This was an undisguised and blatant effort to interfere with the results of an American presidential election. It was an attempted 'coup' by any reasonable criteria.
And, the Idiot just went ahead as if it was his right to commit any crime he felt like committing...without any consequences whatsoever. I knew that he's not the brightest bulb in the drawer, that he does and says stupid stuff all the time, but I had no idea that he is this, off the scale, fucking DUMB.
One of the t-v pundits with a legal background offered the opinion that it might be difficult to charge the Idiot with the crimes he's committed in making this phone-call.....get this....because, it appears he ACTUALLY BELIEVES IT. The applicable statute apparently specifies that the crime has to be committed by a person who, "knowingly" does so. Therefore, if the Idiot actually believes that it's okay to do something he cannot be classified as being 'knowing'.
Are you fucking shitting me?

He may be a dumb-ass, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of respecting the law. That is what he has a phalanx of lawyers for...to tell him, "Mr. President, that's illegal. You will be breaking the law if you do that." To which, of course, he'd likely say something that only a stable genius could come up with, like: "I can do anything I want, because I am president". The lawyers might then say something like: "But, Mr. President, this would not be covered by the immunity clause." And, knowing the Idiot, he'd reply, "I know more than anybody what is okay and I can do whatever I want." To which any lawyer with at least half of their brain working would reply, "As you wish, Mr. President."....and walk away. When confronted by profound stupidity, it is almost always wiser to simply head for the door. Besides, he's managed to surround himself with sycophants who will bob their empty heads and nod.
So, "What me worry?" as Alfred E. Neumann of Mad Magazine would have said.
As is so often the case, the real problem is not that the Idiot is indeed an idiot; it lies with the fact that he has managed to infect a large percentage of the American population with his idiotic ideas and lies. He has just about come out of the closet with QAnon now. Much of what he tweets is either directly or indirectly purloined from paranoid and non-sensical QAnon sources as something that passes for factual truth....which is, of course, the opposite of the reality at hand.
We are inching along a precipice here. If we misstep and fall, it will be generations before we manage to cobble back together anything resembling a truly democratic republic in which the power is in the hands of the people....not some mentally ill asshole who thinks he's the smartest genius on the planet. Allowing the Idiot and his orcs in the senate and house to steal the election....would be a disaster of an unapproachable scale. It would mean that the oldest working democracy on the planet had failed and become an autocracy....but, but not just any autocracy, one with a bona fide fucking idiot leading it. That is a whole different deal.
