The Edging Nears Its Crescendo

       or The Spoogening Cummeth

     He's stroking that sensitive head all the more. He's been short stroking the base for months and months, cruelly keeping them on the edge of a glorious, squirting orgasm, hinting while not technically announcing his intention to run. Then the spooge will be glorious, covering MAGAville from coast to coast.

     Except it'll be more like a dribble and oozing than something you'd typically expect of Peter North or Ron Jeremy. It's a little late in political terms, to be announcing. Granted, no other Republican has announced. At a recent debate, Ron DeSantis had a positronic brain fart when Charlie Crist asked him point blank if he would serve a full term if re-elected Governor. Republican legs turn to jelly at the thought of incurring the wrath of a twice impeached pedophile who stands zero chance of getting re-elected. Republicans will always have Daddies but they have to start choosing theirs more wisely.

     But it's not about the announcements. It's all about sucking up all those right wing bribes, getting the early money. Nobody is going to give DeSantis all the money that he's been vacuuming up all year just to keep him in the Governor's mansion in Tallahassee. They want to put him in the White House because they think DeSantis is a psychopath they can deal with, the dependable kind of a crook who when he's bought, he stays bought and knows exactly who owns the bill of sale.

     So, while Trump's been short-stroking the head, DeSantis is playing the strong, silent type.

     Of course, when Trump officially, unequivocally announces, everything changes. From that nanosecond on, he will no longer be able to use those Super PAC contributions to line his own pockets and his campaign, then official, will no longer be able to directly or indirectly coordinate with any Trump-aligned Super PACS. So, of course, Trump and his army of rats and rat fuckers will immediately begin looking for ways to do just that that are sorta, kinda legalish, if they haven't already.

     But announcing will invite a lot of headaches and restrictions with which he hasn't had to deal. As stated, an announcement will automatically trigger campaign finance laws. The announcement will result in an impressive spray of precum in the form of donations from the stupid bastards who still have any money left. But right now, Trump has a war chest of $93,000,000. That may sound impressive to most people until one remembers that Trump will need over ten times that amount in order to mount a serious presidential campaign. In other words, he'll need about a billion bucks in that war chest. And, right now, he's spending 91 cents to make every dollar.

     That's just not gonna happen. The biggest right wing donors have long since turned their backs on Mar a Lago and are sunnily smiling at Tallahassee or whatever psychopath is doing their own cock-teasing. 

     Common Dreams is also reporting that CREW will launch a lawsuit to try to stop Trump from running by invoking the Fourteenth Amendment, which, of course, will fail miserably just as such an attempt failed to prevail in MTG's district because, really, you're naive enough to think the rule of law will actually prevail in the land that's risibly referred to as one of laws and not men?

     Of course, Trump has no interest in a functional democracy because such a thing would only hamper his goal to be the unfettered autocrat he's always wanted to be. And, either way, Trump will need those voters only one more time just as Hitler only needed the German voters once. Of course, he doesn't say that, it's all done under the gossamer-thin veneer of doing the exact opposite. But, really, Trump's already long past the point of needing to maintain that pretense. January 6 proved that.

     They want Trump as their Demolition Man, the guy who winks and nods at the suggestion that he will do away with those pesky laws that hold them accountable, which is why today, in his latest brain seizure on Truth Social, he demanded that all the rioters be released immediately, you know, as if he's still in charge.

     But look for Trump to announce right after the midterms so the conversation will be all about him again. Look for him to announce in a state that Biden narrowly won, like his home state of Pennsylvania. Look for all that and more, folks, because this right wing psychological side show is just warming up its calliope.
