“They lied,” he said, “there were no weapons of mass destruction and they knew there were none.” How could they not? But it was the next line that doomed Trump to this week’s arrest. Now by the time Trump said that a lot of Republican primary voters were starting to reach the same conclusion. Trump said we destabilized the Middle East. There were no weapons of mass destruction.” There were none and they knew there were none. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. Here Trump is from the Republican candidates debate in Greenville, South Carolina: “We should have never been in Iraq. Either way, seven and a half years later, we can point to the precise moment that permanent Washington decided to send Donald Trump to prison or render him ineligible or unelectable to run in 2024. He is from out of town, so maybe he didn't know it was a rule or maybe he just didn't care. That's the first rule of Washington, but somehow Trump didn't bother to follow it. It's an apology that's not actually an apology, much less repentance and it's years too late to matter in any case but until then that's all you're getting. They usually do say something like that but only after emotions have cooled and the damning details have begun to fade from collective memory. The good news is we've learned a lot of important lessons in the end. We meant well but it just didn't work out. They defend that war relentlessly against all evidence until somebody finally rings the all clear bell and they can begin to admit that actually maybe it wasn't such a great idea. But when Congress decides to start a war, no matter how foolish or counterproductive or obviously disconnected from America's core interests that war may be, when that happens the leaders of both parties automatically jump behind it like circus clowns and then they stay there sometimes for decades. For example with the debt ceiling, both sides take their assigned positions and they start yelling. In Washington, that's what actually matters and it's obvious when you look carefully when there's a debate about anything else.
What matters then and now is foreign policy - the invasions and occupations and proxy wars, the decisions that determine which global populations will thrive and which will die, the policies that come with trillion dollar price tags, the ones that over time have made the counties around DC, the richest suburbs in the world. In a recent Tucker on Twitter episode, Tucker Carlson (the recently fired, but not fired Fox News anchor) notes correctly:
Identity politics doesn't mean much to permanent Washington. “Stop him!” But inside Washington that was just noise. Those are the stories that dominated the headlines that year. That's the day Donald Trump made a blood enemy of the largest and most powerful organization in human history, which would be the federal government.ĭespite what you may remember it wasn't anything that Trump had said about immigration or trade with China or rapists from Mexico. It's been inevitable since February 16, 2016. What just happened was always going to happen. Everyone who's paid attention knew it was. “It's unprecedented,” they told us with what looked like shock. Cable news carried every moment of it live. These were the first steps in a process that is designed to put Donald Trump behind bars for the rest of his life. When the Biden Administration arrested Donald Trump, they had him arraigned and fingerprinted in a Miami Courthouse like the accused felon he now technically is.
