It's becoming damned difficult for people like me who want to see America become great again to refrain from pointing out that Donald Trump and his people are hot flaming garbage piles that are making America worse again.

This Jeannine Pirro thing, for instance.

She is Trump’s appointee – and is currently a federal judge overseeing the District of Columbia. Here is what she said the other day, in case you missed it:

“You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law abiding (gun) owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back. And that makes all the difference.”

Mark her words? Sounds a little threatening. A little eager. She doesn’t care whether you are a law abiding gun owner. She wags her finger and says, “You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back.”

Kamala Harris might have said that. Or Abigail “Pants Suit Peron” Spanberger, the new gauleiter of Virginia.

Pirro didn’t have to say any of this. Just as Trump did not have to say anything about Massie’s wife or his marriage. But she – like him – said it anyhow. Good. Now we know who we’re dealing with.

Pirro could have said something like: “DC has some of the most restrictive and unfair gun laws in the country and we’re hoping that will change and are working hard to get them changed, but for now, they are the law in DC and for that reason, I must advise people to abide by them, even if they are legally permitted to carry a gun in the jurisdiction where they live.”

That is what a person who supports aw abiding gun ownership might have said. What we would expect such a person to have said. Instead she said what tells us she is not a friend of law-abiding gun owners.

And neither is Trump.

His silence – so far – speaks loudly in that regard. Just as his silence regarding another one of his appointees, the director of the FBI, spoke volumes. The latter blasted the man who got blasted by federal goons in Minneapolis because he carried a gun – legally – to a protest. A gun he pointed at no one. A gun he never touched while he was being beaten by a gang of goons after being sprayed with Mace by one of them.

The bug-eyed FBI director went even further, implying that anyone who carries a legally owned and legally carried gun to a protest area invites being shot by federal goons.

Have we traveled back in time to the “Joe Biden” era? Or did we never leave it?

Some apparently think all that matters is whether the Hut! Hut! Hut! is applied by one of their own – against people they do not like. These are people foolish enough to believe the Hut! Hut! Hut! will never be applied to them.

Trump’s silence is complicity.

He ought to have fired Patel – who is a “patriot” in the same way that the Patriot Act is “patriotic.” He ought to fire this Jeannine Pirro creature, too. Her utterances are inexcusable. Yet he has said nothing. This means he is okay with what she said. Probably because she – like that Patel thing – is loyal and Trump values that above everything else. They are good doggies – so long as they only bark at Trump’s enemies.

He’ll try to politically disembowel a good man like Thomas Massie, who has never once said anything to indicate he is in favor of restricting the right of law-abiding people to possess firearms – but who has said much about the strange foot-dragging of Trump regarding the Epstein Stuff and also this Israel First stuff.

But Patel can – the director of the FBI – can publicly suggest that anyone who merely carries a legally owned gun where a protest is occurring is basically a criminal and looking to get what Patel thinks he deserves – and remain the director of the FBI. Trump doesn’t so much as publicly repudiate the man.

Strike one.

Then he says nothing – so far – about the utterances made by this Pirro creature. Nothing to distance himself from her.

Strike Two.

Some people can’t see a freight rain coming at them while they try to get their stalled car’s engine running so they can move off the tracks in time. Maybe they think because it’s their train, it won’t run over them.
