Just had this fantasy involving Leonard Nimoy's Spock as Special Prosecutor, rather than Mueller...
...picture it.
Day one, Spock shows up for duty. Everyone's going "HEY! It's MISTER SPOCK!" All a little star-struck and awe-struck.
Spock takes it all in stride, responding with zero emotion and an economy of words, as is his style.
And day by day it's one Trump family member and administration member after another and one more scandal and one more leaked document and one more connection to Russia and one more lie about something that was floated three months ago, but Kellyanne and Spicey lied about it, so the press backed down, and then WaPo or NYT found documents that proved the lie, and...
All of a sudden you can see that Spock isn't holding up well, and his vocabulary largely becomes 4-letter and 10-letter words, throwing things made of glass at the walls just to hear the sound of them breaking, and having outbursts and yelling things like "What the F*CK? I mean, SERIOUSLY, what the F*CKING F*CK," and the agents are trying to calm him down and that only makes him yell more...sort of like Pon Farr, but he doesn't get to have sex OR duel to the death, he just keeps imploding.
...that's what it felt like tonight when I got about 15 minutes into Tweety's show and switched over to Blue Bloods reruns. Truth has become stranger than the cheapest and most rancid form of fiction, and I know Don Junior effed up, and there's a lot of talk about what's going to be done about it, and meanwhile he's Monty Python's French taunter, up in the turrets on Twitter, telling us that he farts in our general direction, and that we should go boil our bottoms. Dad backs him up, and Kellyanne tells us that it's our fault.
Justice can't be mocked forever...can it?
Day after day after day after day and it only gets deeper and not a goddamned thing is being done about it beyond whatever Mueller is doing behind closed doors.
And I hope that whatever that is will be enough to force Ryan and McConnell to take action, or get inescapably swept up into the charges themselves.
