Like The Caine Mutiny Without The Ball Bearings

 

The true measure of a man is how he handles adversity.

Jimmy Kimmel, and the Academy Awards, is what the Don Snorelone has to worry about at 7:18 AM, on the only day he has off from his current criminal trial? That tweet reminds me of the final scene of the Caine Mutiny, where it becomes painfully apparent to everyone that Captain Queeg that is indeed fucking NUTS. Sorry... mentally ill. Donald Trump needs help. As someone who has had to face depression my whole life, I know of what I speak. He needs help. Take this tweet alone, he lashes out over the Academy Awards, why now? It happened over a month ago. The ratings were not bad, in fact they gained 4% over the previous year's telecast.

 

 By the way, it wasn't Jimmy Kimmel who handed out the Oscar for Best Film, it was Al Pacino. And the"Winner is" was changed years ago to, "And The Oscar Goes To." Maybe he should be sleeping, or strategizing with his legal teem, or perhaps planning whatever he has mind for his campaign. Anything other than barking at the moon. I expect as we move alone, and things seem to be moving fast, he will demonstrate more and more that he needs help! He will have his Captain Queeg moment, and like in the Caine Mutiny, he will have folks continue to support him, while not realizing the hurt they are doing to him. The hurt they are doing to all of us.

If you have never seen the Caine Mutiny, I encourage you to go watch it! It's my favorite Humphrey Bogart movie, and Fred MacMurray was amazing as well. 

I repeat, Donald Trump needs help.

For the second day in a row, he fell asleep.

He fell asleep. He fell asleep at his own trial. 

Maggie Haberman, of the New York Times, noticed.

 

Trump glared at Maggie Haberman.

That's it. That's the post.

But that was yesterday.

Stormy Days And Mondays

Boy HOWDY, today is the day! Donald Trump's very own, very first criminal trial begins today in Manhattan. First comes the selection of the jury from a pool of 6,000 candidates. Jury candidates that is. However, before that officially begins, Donald Trump will have to answer for his behavior over the weekend, when once again, he apparently broke the expanded gag order Judge Merchan issued just two weeks ago. I have no idea what will happen. I know that any other defendant, who has as little personal restraint as Trump does, would already be behind bars. Threatening juries and witnesses tends to make judges a bit grumpy, but Trump seems to get away with a little more than most folks do. I have never quite figured out how, or why that is. Folks give up their reputations. Their families. Sometimes even their very freedom, such as the case with Allen Weissleberg. Trump's former CFO is back in Riker's Island. He is doing 5 additional months for perjury on behalf of Trump at Trump's civil fraud case. It's astounding. 

And I imagine even more jaw dropping events are to come. He posted to Truth Social, just this morning, that he wants the gag order dropped. Yeah, deliberately pushing the limits and then asking for favors isn't how it works. I can feel it... I am going to be posting all day, aren't I? It's official. Trump has arrived at the courthouse, and with that, history is made! The first criminal trial of a former American president is going to begin!

FINALLY!
