I lost my fun

There have been some interesting developments this week in various jurisdictions WRT the criminal enterprise that recently occupied the White House.

The Supreme Court ruled against the Kleptocrat in his lame attempt to block the National Archives from delivering documents requested by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack (on the Capitol). This leaves a hole through which you could drive a Panzer division in the arguments of Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Gym Jordan and others as they try to avoid testifying before the committee.

The committee has also invited Princess Sparkle Pony to testify on details of the timeline on that day, as she was urged multiple times to get the bloated orange tick to call off the mob that was invading the halls of Congress. This appearance (if she shows up) will be different from the swanning around she did for four years as a “special adviser” to the tick and not the kind of attention to which she’s accustomed.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has subpoenaed Bonespurs, Scrump and Sparkle Pony to give depositions in her civil investigation of decades of alleged fraudulent Trump Organization business practices. (Scrump and Pony’s brother Gums invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 500 times when he was deposed last summer.)

Several states have referred forged slates of “alternate” electors committed to the twice-impeached loser (a key element of the attempt to overthrow the free and fair election of 2020) to the Department of Justice for prosecution.

And Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis has requested a special grand jury to formally investigate TFG’s personal and by-proxy (looking at you, Lindsey) attempts to get the secretary of state to “find” enough favorable (non-existent) votes to tip the state’s electors his way.

Man, I would not want to be a waiter at Mar-a-Largo today.

In recognition of this interesting shift, my earworm for today is The Clash’s cover of “I Fought the Law”. Crank up the volume.
