![]() Okay, it’s Wednesday! No big deal, right? We’re all just humming along like a four-cylinder engine running on two cylinders. There’s a new crisis brewing here at The Compound. Apparently, someone realized that the one thing that potential growers of medical marijuana here in Oklahoma have overlooked is where to get the seeds to grow the devil’s lettuce (we say that facetiously). Who cares? Where did the folks in California or Colorado or Washington State get their seeds? Probably from their own stash. Just sayin’. But, there was Amanda Taylor on television last night, giving everyone the go-to-hell stare as announced the growers’ dilemma last night and turned it into five minutes of excruciating “we told you so” undertone. She (Amanda) really needs to go. Send her to someplace like Des Moines where they appreciate the abuse. If I wanted to be lectured, I’d beg the Wife to come back from her fabulous (and now apparently permanent) vacation to Tahiti. Frankly, it’s probably the people opposed to medical marijuana that are fanning the flames. And the local news outlets just lap it up like dogs cleaning up their own puke. Again, who cares? But I digress, on to bigger and better things (maybe). Friends, have you ever considered that perhaps we’re all being hoodwinked? I mentioned in a previous post a passing comment about how I thought that the infamous New York Times anonymous Op-Ed piece had been written with Fearless Leader’s hand. Now, others are climbing on that bandwagon too. And, you thought I was just a little too paranoid!? What makes me think that? Well, consider first that Fearless Leader is the epitome of an egomaniacal narcissist. What better way to create sympathy/empathy/fill-in-your-favorite-pathy in a mid-term-election year than to create controversy and drama about a traitor in your midst? Announce that there is an investigation and that you are closing in on the alleged rat…and then nothing…it’s dies out as the new headline grabbing crisis du jour comes along. Even the on-again, off-again Omarosa weighed in saying that she thought it sounded like a member of that cardboard-stiff-Pence’s staff. I’ve spent enough time over the years in/around high-level staffs to see how that could work. Someone cooks up a stupid idea and they have someone associated with a deputy (in this case, Vice President) draft something that the others later say, “Yeah, that’ll do the job!” Assuming the seed of the idea came from Fearless Leader’s “genius, stable” brain, think of it as you would those people who suffer from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy – wherein the person seeks attention at the peril of those in their care. Okay, a weak analogy maybe, but there’s no doubt Fearless Leader lives off the attention he creates for himself…he seeks it out, he wallows in it, and he generally feeds off it. So now, he’s taking it even further. He wants us to believe he is suddenly a measured-response, reasonably middle of the road, moderate Fearless Leader saying he wants the woman in California to have her time in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee testifying about her alleged sexual abuse experience with prospective Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. Wow, how fair and balanced can one person be? That seems so profound, albeit surprising when you think of it coming from Fearless Leader. Go figure. Oh, and now the woman says she wants the FBI to investigate before she appears before Congress. Huh? Cynical Mr. Robin believes this is beginning to smack of a purposeful delay tactic. What purpose is there in having the Feebs investigate? You have a story to tell, get up and tell your story. Now, I see in the overnight newsfeed that the woman and her family have gone into hiding after numerous death threats have been made against her if she testifies. What the hell is wrong with people in this country? The #realdonaldtrump would normally be tweeting about those darn Dems who are just seeking a way to scuttle his jurist nomination prior to the mid-terms. This moderate Fearless Leader is creepy. It’s like we’re waiting for his face to melt and the real stuff start spewing forth from his thumbs. Obviously, someone is making him behave in ways that he is loath to do. This is so uncharacteristic as to make us cynical bastards sit back, rub our chins, and give a long hmmmm. Maybe we can take some comfort in the fact that it’s probably killing him to act civil and (dare I say) dignified for the first time in his presidency. Comments are closed.
