The "reward" for your loyalty

The Entropy's days in office have suddenly become extremely finite. Mueller began his investigation into the Entropy's finances and tax returns last week, and a few days ago, it was discovered he was laundering money for the Russians...

For three decades.

If you'll remember, VP Agnew back during Watergate went down for something similar, as did Nixon. So right now, the Entropy is basically a dead man walking. It's yet to hit him, but it's coming and he knows it. There is no way to properly respond to this when you are this deep in crimes, scandal and conspiracy. Even though there is no right response, the Entropy somehow found the worst response to make, and that was to attack the attorney general Jeff Sessions for not defending him.

Slitting the throat of his own attorney general (metaphorically) has shown everyone just what loyalty to the Entropy will get you. Jeff Sessions was the only senator who supported him during the primaries, when he was very low in the polls, which is what got him that position he now holds.

Of course, it was no ordinary thank-you gift. It came with a lot of hidden strings attached. The Entropy expected Sessions to defend him on the Russia scandal or wave a magic wand to make it all go away. Instead, not only did Sessions refuse to defend him, but he recused himself from the investigation, so basically he scrubbed his hands of it and walked away.

I'm not sure if the Entropy thought of this or someone told him to do this (I'm inclined to believe the latter). His plan is to bring in a new attorney general who will squash the investigation by firing Robert Mueller, but the Entropy can't fire Jeff Sessions without it looking really bad, and he can't fire Mueller himself because it'll look even worse. So right now he's delving into utter pettiness to try and harass Sessions into resigning of his own accord so he could put a more compliant puppet into the position of attorney general and have THAT guy fire Mueller, instead. No matter how you look at it, everything stinks more than a carcass left in the sun for a week.

The entire Republican Party and indeed the whole country has been shown exactly what the Entropy thinks of loyalty. He thinks of it as a one-way, take all, give nothing back street to which only he will benefit. If he's going to do this to one of his closest allies, what will he do to others that don't do what he wants? What will he do to his own supporters, who have long outlived their usefulness?

Indeed, most of the Republican Party has dropped what little support they had for the Entropy. Even the dimmest of wits in the GOP can see the change in the winds. They are turning away from him in droves and siding with Sessions, who is a bad enough politician on his own (just look at his plans for the War on Drugs), but he has renown and respect among his peers. Just because the Entropy has entered our political discourse doesn't mean everyone in his party is automatically beholden to him like he thinks they are and threatens them to be.

This is a worst-case scenario. We don't have a President right now, we have a wannabe dictator man baby throwing tantrums in the White House because his past fishy and illegal behavior has caught up to him, and he's out of free passes, mulligans, saving throws, and allies as the noose tightens around his neck and he's about to take the big fall. Even after he's gone, we'll still have to deal with a Pence/Ryan administration, if they can survive this Russia scandal as well. Pence could get consumed by the scandal for being complicit in his personal worst-case scenario, but Ryan would not survive the administration because of the self-preservation laws designed to stop people with his sort of ideas from executing them. Their ideas for a twisted Christian caliphate and a John Galt social Darwinist dystopia are alien and anathema to this country and what it stands for, and the Republican Party has proven they are more than willing to betray the democratic process and work against the will of the people to pass their nightmarish, draconian bills.

None of this is normal. We can't let them act like they're kings.
