The ongoing drama surrounding the so-called “convicted felon” Donald Trump takes a ridiculous turn yet again, as recent hearings seem to place more focus on Trump than the actual discussions at hand. One could almost mistake these events for a Trump show special, only without the laughs. While some may insist that legal woes are the center of attention, others see a blatant attempt to divert from the real issues, likely aimed at rallying the anti-Trump base. The spotlight, it seems, is still very much on Trump, even when he isn’t in the room.
Meanwhile, in a glorious stroke of marketing genius, an unmissable VIP discount of 74% is being advertised in honor of Trump’s upcoming inauguration. Yes, you read that right—while the media is busy trying to vilify Trump, there are savvy marketers rolling out the red carpet. Potential new members can bask in discounted glory by using a special promo code. In a world where negativity reigns, it appears some are cashing in on Trump’s legacy and the enthusiasm surrounding it. Whoever said America lacks entrepreneurial spirit clearly hasn’t been paying attention.
As the hearing meandered along, there were some choice observations about the Biden administration from participants like Schmitt. He astutely pointed out that if the weaponization of law enforcement by the DOJ were happening in a foreign country, the U.S. would be rallying for sanctions and intervention. Yet here at home, it’s like crickets chirping, or rather, a chorus of Democrats clanging about fairness while they continue their partisan power plays. It’s hard to figure out if this is a legislative hearing or an episode of a bad courtroom drama.
Democrat Senator Cory Booker took a moment to commend Marco Rubio for his football prowess, proving once again that even in serious gatherings like these, some senators can’t resist tossing around backhanded compliments that make one question their seriousness. It’s almost as if they’re playing a friendly game of political patty cake instead of addressing pressing national concerns. Yet, on a more serious note, it’s the real issues—like the double standards exhibited by figures like Liz Cheney, who seemingly manipulated evidence as part of her J6 committee— that continue to raise eyebrows. The fact that lawmakers play by different rules compared to ordinary Americans is an ongoing source of frustration for many.

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows in GOP-land either, as Ohio Governor Mike DeWine faces scrutiny for dragging his feet on selecting a replacement for JD Vance in the Senate. With the stakes higher than ever and the majority hanging by a thread, one can only wonder if DeWine’s dilly-dallying is a sign of personal vendetta against Trump or simply a case of indecision. Either way, Ohio Republicans are growing jittery as they watch their party navigate through these politically treacherous waters.
The antics continue with mentions of Ted Cruz bringing up the rule of law—something that seems to echo the sentiments of many who wish the DOJ would be as impartial in practice as it is in principle. But as the political theater unfolds, the distraction tactics of the left remain ever-present, as does the utter hypocrisy of those waving their moral flags while hiding their own misdeeds. To make sense of it all seems an impossible task, yet here they are—back in the spotlight, both lawmakers and players alike, doing what they do best: deflecting, grandstanding, and reaping the drama that unfolds on a daily basis, as America watches with bated breath.
