   First, I'll add back the part you snipped, because I suspect it hit a   
   nerve you don't like to admit is there:

   Next, I'll add that your poorly timed Trump thinking from yesterday and   
   before is hilarious in light of this morning's arrests. But it's also   
   worth noting that it's not ironic how events show you up, at least in   
   the sense of dramatic irony, where a speaker predicts something only to   
   have the audience know that events will not pan out due to foreshadowing   
   or a prior flashback.   
      
   That kind of irony needs an implication that what will happen is   
   something unexpected to the speaker. But there is no surprise in having   
   Trump's handpicked campaign manager hauled off in chains, because this   
   keeps happening. Everyone he studied and selected for that role meets   
   that fate. Three for three! There is no more surprise how stupid you   
   people are to support him than there is surprise that Moe will   
   inevitably jam fingers in Larry's eyes.   
      
   There's not even surprise that today's arrests follow from his people   
   ripping off his own supporters, any more than there was surprise that   
   Jerry Falwell Jr. was ripping off the Liberty U community or that Wayne   
   LaPierre was stealing tens of millions from the membership of the NRA.   
      
   You know how dumb you are, how much dumber you are than the people you   
   want to patronize, as surely as the people who support Trump know that   
   he is a crook and surrounds himself with crooks who will see more   
   subpoenas and more indictments rain down on them after being caught for   
   ripping off his dumb supporters. Because the ever-prophesized victimhood   
   at the hands of liberals never materializes, you need to generate it   
   yourself at the hands of your self appointed masters.
