The Wobble

I was doing a radio show on a boxing match years ago, with two associates who know the sport. In between rounds six and seven, they said one guy looked to be pulling ahead and was on his way to victory. I said I disagreed, and anticipated he would get knocked out in round eight. He did. The two asked me how I had known? I said I could see it in his legs – even though he had been getting off good punches, his legs were getting weak.

The U.S. Supreme Court decision was an example of a blow that made the felon's legs wobble. While many watched the anal pore located below his nose as the felon engaged in an enraged tantrum before the press, I was seeing the legs of the administration quiver. Those legs have been looking shaky in recent weeks.

We are approaching the point where we knock the fucking legs off, and the administration tumbles down and is counted out. We know the felon is not going to honor the USSC's decision. He simply cannot, as it is not in his sociopathic nature to do so. His approval ratings were already dropping, due to everything from the economy to the Epstein Pedo Files scandal.

The legs that allow the felon & fiends to stand upright at this time are the republicans in the House and Senate. They are trapped. Double-trapped, as Malcolm would say. They were already aware that they face significant loses in the mid-terms that are potentially larger than after Nixon resigned. Puppets like Marjorie Taylor Greene were not only talking back to the puppeteer, they were jumping ship. What options do they have today? Agree that the felon can violate a Supreme Court decision? Or refuse to ignore his criminal behaviors?

Let us hope they have the wisdom to make the right choice. Either way, they lose. And we knock those fucking legs off of maga.

I've been thinking a lot about the Champ in recent days, including talking with a lot of old, retired boxers about Ali's relationship with Malcolm X. I am still amazed that anyone would consider fighting Sonny Liston with their hands at their sides. Liston was scarier than the young George Foreman or Mike Tyson.

Now, if that wasn't a David and Goliath of modern times, Ali dared tell Uncle Sam he was wrong. That was unpopular among some, and encouraging to the anti-war movement. Ali combined civil rights with anti-war on constitutional grounds, and won an 8 - 0 decision over Sam in the Supreme Court.

Thank you!

I'm not as afraid of this administration as I was a few weeks ago.

Watching Mary Trump right now describing him as you have above, unable to pivot or reframe or come up with plan B. All he has is bluster and I think the USSC really floored him. All he can do now is scream into the void. He's so fucked in the head he really thinks everything is completely transactional and the USSC failed to honor him as he felt he was entitled for them to do.

Kudos to the wonderful Neal Katyal.

He's physically deteriorating, psychologically unable to cope with any defeat, major (like this one) or minor.

Getting easier to defeat him. Easier to bait him. He will still do lots of damage but his deterioration is catching up to him.

is a national treasure. I love listening to that man talk. He is brilliant.

"Lame duck" is right. I'll say "wounded duck." Mary Trump understands him on two levels: family and her profession. I have great respect for her, and recognize her as a brave patriot.

I've seen hundreds of hilarious posters, both from people at rallies and internet artists, making fun of the felon. Art is so important in lifting social consciousness, as you being a Beatle fan know. Soon as I get the chance, I will be meeting with a group of old friends and associates to make new posters and banners. I explain the madness in my mind, and Bill the artist makes it happen. (I'm thinking of trying out for a scholarship, as I have a class reunion this summer.)

One of the worst mistakes one can make in the ring is to have your mouth open. And the felon can't keep his shut!

I trying to think what would drive him over the edge and completely decompensate.

All I can come up with is projecting images of him and Epstein on the capitol building during the SOTU address.

I would donate to that cause.

I think it would be something some grandkids of YIPPIES! could do. It is the type of monkey warfare art to make good people laugh, while the felon melts down.

republicans only have two options, both of which will damage them. Hence, having "the wisdom to make the right choice" is an ancient Irish saying, made with tongue firmly in cheek.

I like your language. Though I refuse to speak/type his name, I do appreciate when it is appropriately made fun of.

The felon is such a creature of lizard behavior, he doesn't know when to shut up. It's not as he planned, and his unstable rant will not serve him well in the future. I'm confident that most federal courts will continue to rule against him. Obviously, Cannon is the type one might have found in the Manson family, but even her attempts to protect her messiah will be overturned.
