Lackeys and Pretty Faces

It can’t end any other way. You live by the sword, you often die by the sword. You treat people like shit, then few will go out of their way, ultimately, to treat you any differently.

I’m surprised you’ve lasted this long, Donald. It’s been nothing but dysfunction since day one. You have exposed the vile underbelly of human behavior, I’ll give you that much. You’ve helped reveal that there are any number of people willing to compromise values and go all servile, propping you up, saying you’re great when you’re the farthest thing from that. You were just their ticket to bigger and better.

It’s been amazing to watch, though also unbelievably hard to watch. Since 2015, it’s been a daily dose of incompetence and grift, embarrassment and incredulity over so many being so deceived for so long. Your tenure has been a gargantuan and unconscionable waste of time.

You’ve strung people out, Donald, kept them on some sort of tether, fed them just enough so that they wanted more, or threatened them with banishment to the hinterlands. Lindsey Graham and others have been like strays that keep coming to the door in hopes of getting the next morsel of indolence, the next tidbit of one empty promise or another, not to mention a healthy dose of paranoia and racist garbage.

And lies? You have been the champion of liars. No one has done it better or with more unapologetic aplomb. Lying has always been your forte, like breathing. But now it seems as though it’s all catching up with you, as it should, as it must—at least in the minds of all of us who hope that there is such a thing as karma. Payback. Justice.

You were handed the public’s trust and you’ve endlessly, blatantly abused it, Donald. What do you think is going to happen?
