Jim Jordan Trump's Assistant Grave Digger

There’s an English proverb about suicide: digging your own grave. It is 6 feet down in most countries, but religion also plays a part in how people are laid to rest e.g. cremation. My apologies for mentioning death, but it’s the circle. We are born to die. 

Politicians have handlers, advisers, personal attorneys and other people that save them from themselves. Yes, because politicians can be suicidal, literally dig their own graves by what they tweet, say on the campaign trail, in Congress, in court, concoct rally stats, regular garnishing of history and their intentions for the future. Political handlers are there to protect the collective, because ideally, candidates represent the whole pizza, not a slice. What happens if a slice decides it is the pizza? The pizza dries up and it ends up in the thrash can under the sink.

Digging your own grave is incremental. Donald Trump, former U.S. president is a case in point. The grave is 6ft in America. Trump dug one or two feet in 2020, when he refused to take it like a man and concede defeat. The election was in November 2020. He didn’t give the digging a rest. He changed spades and dug more feet, which culminated in 6 January 2021, when his supporters attacked the symbol of American democracy.

The grave exceeded 6ft when the Republican Party netted a slim majority in Congress. Its raison d’etre is revenge and destruction of the justice system. Democrats, you impeached our president for the 6 January 2021 insurrection. That is what we will do to you this current session.

The grave is 6ft. Common sense says you can’t dig anymore. Donald Trump thinks otherwise. He is determined to destroy the whole pizza, the Republican Party and Jim Jordan is the #1 assistant grave-digger.
