Think about Michael Cohen, Donald Trump\u2019s former lawyer.<\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, Cohen was an incompetent, a thug, and a criminal who mindlessly supported Trump.<\/p>\n

Cohen then had a change of heart.\u00a0He became an incompetent, a thug, and a criminal who vindictively opposed Trump.\u00a0For some reason, the left embraced Cohen.<\/p>\n

Cohen then had another change of heart.\u00a0He\u2019s now an incompetent, a thug, and a criminal who again licks Donald Trump\u2019s boots.<\/p>\n

Why does the press cover a single word of what Cohen thinks, says, or does?\u00a0There was no reason for this clown to be be prominent 10 years ago, and there\u2019s surely no reason for him to be prominent today.<\/p>\n

Enough already.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not hear another word about Michael Cohen until his obituary.<\/p>\n

(Don\u2019t get me wrong:\u00a0I\u2019m not rooting for Cohen\u2019s immediate death.\u00a0I\u2019m rooting only for news about Cohen to vanish immediately into the trash bin of history.\u00a0I\u2019d be happy to ignore Cohen\u2019s obituary when it appears 20, or 30, or 100 years from now.)<\/p>\n

Same with Marjorie Taylor Greene.<\/p>\n

She was a fool who owned a CrossFit business.\u00a0She moved on from her CrossFit gig and began writing crazy stuff for conspiracy news websites.\u00a0She was elected to Congress in 2020 because Americans are idiots.<\/p>\n

I understand that we were obligated to hear about Greene when she was a member of Congress saying insane things and supporting Trump.<\/p>\n

But Greene, like Cohen, had a change of heart.\u00a0She split from Trump over the Epstein files.\u00a0Trump started attacking her, and she resigned from Congress.<\/p>\n

Great!\u00a0There was just barely a reason to hear from her before, and there\u2019s surely no reason to hear from her now.<\/p>\n

But she continues to attack Trump, the left continues to care, and we\u2019re cursed with news stories about her.<\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0She was a nobody.\u00a0She should have remained a nobody.\u00a0And she\u2019s plainly, once again, a nobody.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to hear another word about Marjorie Taylor Greene until her obituary.<\/p>\n

Who else?<\/p>\n

George Santos.<\/p>\n

He fabricated his biography, was elected to Congress (because Americans are idiots, or do I repeat myself?), was expelled from Congress, and was convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.<\/p>\n

I understand why I was forced to hear about Santos while he was in Congress.\u00a0But he\u2019s gone now.\u00a0Can\u2019t he be gone from my life?<\/p>\n

Please?<\/p>\n

Who else am I tired of?\u00a0Anthony Scaramucci.<\/p>\n

The Mooch was the White House Communications Director for 10 days in 2017, setting a historical record for shortest tenure in that job.<\/p>\n

2017, for heaven\u2019s sake!<\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t he have disappeared in 2018, or 2019, or any time else in the past decade?<\/p>\n

Begone!<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to read a peep about him again!<\/p>\n

Last example:\u00a0Rudy Giuliani.<\/p>\n

U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, America\u2019s Mayor, Time\u2019s Person of the Year, presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Trump sycophant.<\/p>\n

Disbarred lawyer.\u00a0Sufferer of massive defamation judgments.<\/p>\n

The guy is so inept that he filed for bankruptcy, and the judge later threw out the bankruptcy case because Giuliani was a \u201crecalcitrant debtor<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t manage to go bankrupt?\u00a0Shoot; even I could do that.\u00a0Not being able to go bankrupt is like not being able to quit your job.<\/p>\n

So this moron is gone, right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

Giuliani says that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani should not have attended the 9\/11 25th anniversary memorial celebrations, and Giuliani\u2019s\u00a0back in the news<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Stop!\u00a0Stop!\u00a0I can\u2019t take it any more.<\/p>\n

Please note that this is a bipartisan issue for me.<\/p>\n

If I never hear another word about Hunter Biden, that\u2019s too soon for me.<\/p>\n

Hunter traded on being the president\u2019s son.\u00a0Joe\u2019s no longer the president.\u00a0Let\u2019s stop hearing about Hunter.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t be upset that I didn\u2019t say that Donald Trump should drop out of the national conversation.<\/p>\n

Trump, like Cohen, is an incompetent, a thug, and a criminal.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s the president.<\/p>\n

He says crazy stuff; we\u2019re obligated to know about it.\u00a0He\u2019s the president (because Americans are idiots, or do I repeat myself?); you\u2019re a citizen; it\u2019s your duty to suffer this insanity.<\/p>\n

But wait until noon on January 20, 2029!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll never have to read about him again, thank God.\u00a0<\/p>\n
