'The Shambolic Grifter In the Arena, Daring Greatly'

"As King Cheeto lies, scams, babbles and scurries to escape the furor over his pedophile bestie, some fierce unlikely heroes have emerged to call bullshit. They range from Jon Stewart's 'Go Fuck Yourself' choir to South Park's grifter with a 'teeny tiny' talking penis to Scotland's blistering response to his unwelcome $10 million golf trip, complete with bagpipes, fish guts, glowering headlines - 'CONVICTED U.S. FELON TO ARRIVE IN SCOTLAND' - and ever-splendid signs affirming, 'Trump Is Still A Cunt.' "

"With even his red-meat, poorly educated base clamoring for an imaginary transparency, Trump continues struggling and mostly failing to regain control of the narrative on partner-in-crime Jeffrey Epstein in the shadow of a steady trickle of damning new revelations - more smirking creepy photos, reports he flew on Epstein's jets at least seven times in the 1990s, news he was told in May his name is (probably frequently) in the infamous files. For once, his 'nothing-to-see-here-but-look-over-there!' tactics fall short: As the turmoil morphs into a cultural as well as political firestorm, it lays bare the longtime fiction of Trump's whole braying, bullying shtick about taking down the deep state, exposing him as just another lying, hiding, duplicitous stiff out for himself. (Duh.) It's so bad even MAGA-ites are saying his claims of innocence are 'insulting our intelligence.' (Sic.)"
