The thought of him actually getting his comeuppance and paying for his crimes makes me chortle with anticipation. So bring on the indictment cakes! I’m getting hungry.

I'll believe the comeuppance when I see it, though efforts are clearly being made.  I'm wondering, and kind of hoping, that the documents case takes center stage soon since (IMO) it holds much more potential jeopardy for him than the payoff case.

He's amping up the aggressive rhetoric and his base doesn't appear to be biting.  He has nothing else that I know of that might entice them.  On Jan. 6th the mob may have believed that he had the votes to be President but that has been debunked enough that even they should get it.  If some of them were willing and able to muster up something awful again there's no guarantee he'd become the R nominee or go on to win the election but a decent chance they'd end up in prison - it has happened before.  So why bother?

Log time lurker. I don’t know why, but Austin letting Joy use a hair remover on him as an ad on Insta is cracking me up. So far from what I would have imagined years ago. 

It’s weird isn’t it? So self righteous about their modesty standards, but there’s money to be made so let’s shave our legs and video it for Instagram! Joy shaving her own legs is a long way from Michelle having her knees blurred out on TV.

The Jan 6 mob was the just about the entirety of people willing to fight for him— and they lost. That crowd consisted of organized (white supremacist) groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. Most of their leaders have been charged and sentenced, so there is nobody left to organize anyone who is left that would consider attacking for Trump again.

There is no one else who is going to physically stand up for him, except a lone idiot here and there. That part of his base that is willing to do more than vote and feel aggrieved for him, may turn up to protest. And if you look at the size of the crowd who actually turned up in Manhattan last Tuesday, the day he was supposed to be arrested, it was rather pitiful.

No, Trump is slowly finding out that for all intents and purposes he’s on his own. Big donors are leaving him. His attorneys and conies are testifying against him. It looks like Ivanka and Jared will have to.  And as soon as his MAGAt helpers in Congress realize the jig is up, they’ll start abandoning him as well. Only those with direct ties to Trump’s crimes will sputter and shout until they get away with what they’ve done or they too are charged for their part in knowingly and willingly aiding and abetting the crimes of Trump.

The thought of Trump all on his own, realizing that what he feared all along is true and that nobody really likes him, makes me smile sardonically. The thought of him actually getting his comeuppance and paying for his crimes makes me chortle with anticipation. So bring on the indictment cakes! I’m getting hungry.

I actually thought several things were interesting about this week's vlog. 

1. Katie left 4 week old Hailey with Carlin to go get her nails done with Lydia and Josie. I was surprised she was ready to leave the baby already honestly. I am glad she got some time away to relax and see her friends/sisters but again, I was surprised. 

2. Evan sprinkled grass seed on some spots in this yard and he was not doing it in an efficient, even layer. Carlin picks up the bag and does the seeding in a good, even layer. No snark there. Take the lead. Get it done, girl. Fundie girl doing a "guy chore". 

3. Zade's birthday reminds me that it has been basically a full year since Carlin's issues started. 

Past 2 weeks youtubes:

Evan's bored me to death finally.

Last week they went to the Bahamas and somehow made that seem extremely boring.

The only thing that stood out to me was there was a pastor type praying in a bus and he said something like Jesus is the best savior...there's other savior options? I'm intrigued.

This week was more nothing...including literally watching them grass seed their yard...we've not quite hit paint drying...but maybe next week?

There was an exxxxxtttteeended  golf with Travis segment. Golf is already boring Evan...please just no. I continue to think Evan has a fundie man crush on Travis. 

Carlin made a comment about how one day their car will be packed with their kids in all the seats -it was mildly interesting that Evan said nothing quippy back at that. 

Then there was some portrait oriented phone camera footage (b-roll?)of the weirdest looking Zach n Whitney baby sex reveal...with pouring tea in white clothes and a charcuterie board? Wtf man? I'm afraid to go over to whitneyworld and seet what that was. Tea stains white fabric Whitney. Tea stains are no joke.

I've given up snarking on the Stew Crew. There's nothing but bland empty whiteness.
