I wish I lived in America. Not for the guns, though I still really NEED one of those machine guns from The Matrix, but for the courtroom dramas. You would think that every American spends at least 20 days a month either being sued, suing someone, being charged with murder or just being the wrong colour. And that’s just the famous ones. Going to court is now the number 1 entertainment in the USA. Followed by NFL in second place and cross-burnings a close third (regional variations may apply).

This week it was Gwyneth. And she bloody won!!! The guy who was suing her for $300k suddenly upped the ante to $3.2 million under the mitigation that ‘due to the permanent mental damage caused by that accident I hadn’t realised she was fucking minted’. Fair enough. But then he lost anyway. Because it was fairly obvious that he was a chancer and that he had skied into her, albeit backwards up the hill. Bastard.

And now its Trump. What ‘many’ (ok, ‘me’) are calling ‘the dream scenario’, Donald Trump is to be charged under the law. Not sued in the smart, clean, dress-down civil courts, but banged up in an orange jump-suit and held in chains in the criminal division. And his crime? Nothing to do with the Capitol riots, but about a payment made to Stormy Daniels just before his last victorious election. To ensure her silence about their ‘love affair’. Paid her $130,000. But that’s not the problem. The problem is that the money was accounted for as ‘legal fees’, instead of what it actually was, which was a slut-fund. Like a slush-fund but more enjoyable.

(I’ve checked and in this context the word ‘slut’ is actually not just acceptable but seen by Ms Daniels as a type of free advertising).

So Donald is being ‘done’ for false accounting. Which is a bit like Al Capone finally being arrested but for tax evasion, but to be honest, we’ll take anything at this point.

The only tragedy in the whole affair is that even if Trump is found guilty, and even if he actually serves prison time, he can STILL stand in the next presidential election. America’s system is like that. All you need to be a president is a pulse. Jo Biden proved that, and his was much weaker than Trump’s. There’s no moral prevention from standing. And knowing the average intellect of the average Trumpster, he’ll probably win. And they’ll have to replace ‘reports from the oval office’ with ‘the 12×12 (only ‘feet’ in America, wouldn’t know what a ‘metre’ looks like) box with bars on the windows… office’.

This gets better and betterer

Happy Friday
