I hate clichés and overused phrases. There’s a cliché used to describe grand juries that used to be true: Grand juries will indict a ham sandwich if asked to do so by prosecutors. That has changed with the advent of the MAGA DOJ and President Pennywise’s retribution agenda. Grand jury refusals are no longer uncommon. One could even call it the Ham Sandwich Rebellion.
Yesterday, Fox host turned United States Attorney, Jeanine Pirro attempted to secure an indictment against the six Democrats pictured above. Their offense was telling service members that they should not obey an illegal order.
I wonder if anyone in the grand jury room laughed during the prosecution presentation. I would hope so: this case failed the laugh test and deserves to be laughed out of court.
A normal president wouldn’t have threatened the six Democrats. They would have said, “We would never give an illegal order.”
Donald Trump is not a normal president.
Pete Hegseth is not a normal Secretary of Defense.
This gruesome twosome went after the lawmakers and ended up with egg on their faces. Oops, I just used a cliché. That one still works as does this country song with a nasty title:
As much as I hate to disagree with Johnny Cash, there’s one nut that many do not love: Donald J Trump. I do, however, think he *is* a dirty old egg-sucking dog. It’s a perfect slur for the Kaiser of Chaos: He hates dogs as much as I hate Insult Comedians with dead nutria pelts atop their heads.
At the risk of being repetitive, I ask yet again: Who handles politics at the Trump White House? They’ve turned what Fox insists on calling the Seditious Six into national heroes. They’ve made Senator Kelly a serious contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination. This whole mishigas has badly backfired.
Kelly, Slotkin, Goodlander, Crow, Houlihan, and Deluzio are NOT seditionists, they’re patriots. Ignore the MAGA clichés, they’re not radical leftists, they’re raging moderates.
It’s time to drop the ham sandwich cliché. Clichés are supposed to be truisms. This one no longer is.
Repeat after me: Long live the Ham Sandwich Rebellion.
The last word goes to Todd Rundgren:
