 Happy Wednesday everybody! I hope you’re well and all cozy comfy in your workplace.
Me, I’m holed up at The Compound still searching for news of Cousin Fred’s criminal trespassing on the grounds of the White House and/or new footage confirming he is still free. Late yesterday, it was the latter. Apparently, Cousin Fred has decided on a new strategy that, on the surface, appears to appeal to Fearless Leader’s fondness for things Russian while at the same time kiss his a**. He was videoed over in Lafayette Park dressed as everyone’s late-19th-century mad monk, Grigori Rasputin. Friend Lamont was standing next to him dressed as the fictional character, Dr. Zhivago. The banner they held aloft was in Russian and read, “Поддержите товарища Дональда, по крайней мере он еще может пописать.” Frankly, I’m afraid to plug that into a Google translator. As the camera locked in on the two, Cousin Fred leaned forward and shouted, “No collusion! No collusion! Witch hunt! Witch hunt!” Well, at least I knew they were still outside a federal lock-up. I was satisfied and went back to watching John Wayne movies and drinking beer. But then, late last night, I received a text from Cousin Fred, the first I’d heard from him since sometime around Thanksgiving. It read, “The blue fish swims south in muddy water.” My cousin, James Bond. It didn’t take long for me to figure out the message in Cousin Fred’s cryptic message. He and Friend Lamont are breaking camp in Lafayette Square and headed south for Florida where Fearless Leader will commence at 16-day vacation over Christmas. Isn’t that special? I immediately tried to text him back, but he had already turned his phone off. Sigh. This won’t end well. At least, Fearless Leader is supposed to head south on Friday. There’s so much going on in D.C., who knows when he’ll actually get out the door. Let’s see, there’s the whole Trump Foundation being shut down by the New York attorney general who branded the organization as a corrupt enterprise with illegal activities going on (there’s a surprise!) daily. Then Fearless Leader’s pals at CNN have turned up a document showing his signature on a letter of intent to build a Trump Tower in Moscow days after the Ghoul Giuliani said no one ever signed the document. Oops. Umm, then there’s the whole Fearless Leader publicly declaring that he will personally review the military’s case against a former Green Beret officer who allegedly committed murder in the Afghan war zone by offing a reported enemy bomb maker. This set all the legal experts to chattering that it’s interference and blah, blah, blah. I’m just going to lay this out there…I’m glad Fearless Leader is taking an interest in the case. To quote the character, Captain Willard, from Apocalypse Now, “…charging soldiers in the field during wartime with murder is like handing out tickets at the Indy 500…” Unless there’s a lot more to the case than what has been publicly released, this seems ridiculous play on the military’s part. And, yes, I get it…the Army figures they must make an example of this poor guy, otherwise you’ll have every other soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine over there going all Bruce Willis on the bad guys. Hmmm… He (Fearless Leader) has even backed down from his initial tough guy stance on building that stupid wall in order to avoid a government shutdown. Hey, who ran off with Fearless Leader? This isn’t him! The only thing Fearless Leader really has going for him this week is that the criminal justice reform measure that son-in-law Kushner has been steering through legislative waters for more than a year now, has finally cleared the Senate and is expected to be on Trump’s desk for signature this week. Actually, the 16-days in Florida will be interesting. Fearless Leader, left unchecked by adult supervision, will let his thumbs go wild on Twitter. There’s no telling what will spew forth…it’ll be entertaining, I bet. That is all… Comments are closed.
