Another sad chapter in Lord Trump’s demise

The Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton currently under indictment on securities fraud charges, filed a lawsuit asking the Supreme Court to invalidate millions of votes and President- elect Joe Biden’s victory. The lawsuit was joined by 17 red-state attorney generals, 126 House Republicans, and Lord Trump himself.

The Supreme Court wasted no time in telling them to take their frivolous lawsuit that had no standing and to go away. Upon reflection, this may have come as a relief to 29 of the House supporters; though doing their best to curry favor with their cult leader, had the lawsuit been issued a favorable ruling they would have been out of a job, their election victories coming in the four states being targeted.

One of Trump’s loyalists who curried favor with the “autocrat wanna-be” was Doug LaMalfa, who represents California’s 1st Congressional District where some counties are shut down or teetering on the brink of a catastrophic public health crises due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidently LaMalfa has priorities other than the health of the constituents he was elected to protect.

Like many members of the Trump cult, LaMalfa is exhibiting the effects of the Trump virus, which crawls into the minds of Republican politicians much like worms crawl into a rotting dead brain.

Legend has it that Robert Leroy Johnson sold his soul to the devil to play the blues; Congressman Doug LaMalfa sold his soul to the devil to stay in the good graces of Donald J. Trump.
