Will you stop it with the confessions, you goddamned schmucks?

Lookit. I had no intention of writing yet another post today for this here joint. I thought that when we posted Trevor's piece we'd be all nice and smooth sailing until I got my ass up some time tomorrow and spat out some brilliance.

But noooooooo. Rudy "Two Tongues" Giuliani had to go and open his goddamned piehole.

Yes, this is a real tweet from Donald J. Trump's doofus consigliere.

In it, he pretty much cops to everything of which he's been accused. The strong-arming of Ukraine. The election illegalities. The money laundering.

But notice what he says. Whereas before the claim was that he was working on behalf of the US government to "root out corruption," here he says he did it all for the love of the nookie, I mean, of Donald J. Trump. He did everything he did in his personal capacity as Trump's lawyer.

That means that Trump blackmailing Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky wasn't first and foremost about US policy—which is bad enough; it was to further a corrupt enterprise of Donald Trump in his personal capacity as a citizen running for office. He used the great power of the office he purloined in a corrupt attempt to benefit himself and illegally influence an upcoming election.

Rudy just laid everything bare. And the HIGHlarious thing is that he thought was being smart. He thought he was doing himself and his Mauron a solid. He thought he was showing the world that he was zealously defending his client, as lawyers are supposed to do.

Of course, in zealously defending your client, you're not supposed to do crimey things. That's a huge fucking no-no.

And I'm sure Trump will applaud this tweet, because like Rudes, he's a goddamned moron. This is the world in which he's operated since he barely graduated Wharton. It's a world of double-dealing and extortion and blackmail. He has no idea that these are Bad Things™. That these are things which get you locked up for a very long time. That these are things which will ruin you and your loved ones. (Well, his family, anyway. I don't think he loves them.)

As I wrote on the former blog, "Don't fear the reaper." These are not evil geniuses. They're nothing but penny ante hoodlums with too much money. They have a small-time mindset, and now they're playing on the biggest stage in the world, and are falling apart. The only power they have is the power which fearful people give them. Laugh at them. Mock them. Then crush them.
