Sen. Raphael Warnock took to the Senate floor Wednesday night to address the ongoing slaughter in Gaza, saying that he would be speaking more as a pastor than as a politician, more to the people in harm’s way than about the geopolitics. He delivered a brutal sermon all the way through, and highlighted an acronym now being used by relief agencies and the surviving hospitals in Gaza. “There’s an acronym used in Gaza, WCNSF: ‘Wounded child with no surviving family.’ According to media reports, an estimated 17,000 Palestinian children fall under that category,” Warnock said. That WCNSF number is also in constant flux, with new children being added daily, and children being removed.
They did it. The Supreme Court handed a massive victory to Donald Trump in this so-called “immunity” case, and it will probably take a year or more before there’s even a chance he’ll be held to trial for trying to overthrow the 2020 election and, thus, the government of the United States.
As feared, the six Republicans on the Court essentially threw Trump’s sedition case back to the lower court (with caveats) where there will be numerous decisions to make — which are all further appealable, resetting the case so Trump can drag things out for another year or more — about whether the crimes he’s committed are “official” or “private/personal” acts.
But that’s not the worst of it. They also turned Trump or any future fascist president into our first American king or führer.
Once upon this time in the United States of America, where the hills are adorned with monster houses,clear cuts and toxic rivers whispering secrets of old Republican ways, there lives a group of MAGA Monarchists who eagerly awaited with joy in their black hearts for the the latest ruling of the US Supreme Court. They were thrilled at the future prospect of jump starting the installation of a new President-King to rule over all the lands and waters of a soon to be extinguished once great democracy.
DonaldJTrump the First was the name whispered in the halls of the MAGA Monarchists’ grand corporate malls, smokeless backrooms and smokey backyard BBQs; for it was said that he could ascend to the throne as President-King once the United States Supreme Court had completed its solemn deliberations and send him on his merry deranged way to success. The court’s decision to entertain Donald Trump’s claims of Presidental immunity added a sparkle of anticipation to the MAGA Monarchists’ eyes, for they saw it as the court’s direct entry into the unfolding drama of the 2024 presidential election.
As Wednesday dawned, heralding the court’s announcement, the MAGA Monarchists held their breath, for they knew that the decision held the key to their devious dreams. When it was revealed that the court would hear Trump’s claims and delay his trial, cheers erupted throughout MAGA land. It was a stinging victory ,a triumph that echoed through the hollow craniums of MAGA imaginings.
For the Orange Dumpster who would be king Trump, it meant more than just a delay in his legal proceedings; it was a validation of his strategy to stall, to wait until the stars aligned in his favour once more. The US Supreme Court had essentially given its blessing to his delaying tactics, paving the way for a potential return to power without the specter of accountability hanging over his head. rex pro re publicarex pro re publica
And so, as the cases against him were pushed further into the future, the MAGA Monarchists whispered in hushed tones of the possibility that their wish might come true. Trump could indeed become the President-King he and they so desired, ruling with an iron retributitive fist and casting his ample shadow over the realm for years to come.
In the MAGA Republican heart, where fairy tales are spun from the partisan threads of reality, the stage is set for a grand crowning spectacle. The MAGA Monarchists watch with bated breath as the saga unfolds, knowing that their MAGA fever dreams hang in the balance, waiting for the final act to be played out to their thunderous applause as the curtain falls on the great democratic experiment and the President King is declared!
