Hey, hey, hey…it’s Friday, you’ve survived another week of nonsense. Yep, survived another week of that creepy guy in accounting sticking his finger in everyone’s lunch in the refrigerator (Mmmmmm, taco casserole!). You survived another week of a second-level office manager with an eye toward becoming THE office manager declaring martial law and throwing out everyone’s lunch leftovers (hey, she gave you 30 minutes notice this time). Oh, and let’s not forget the third-level manager who, believing they’re doing executive level work, sends daily emails with snippets from the company’s employee manual “because you never read it anyway.”
Yep, you survived. Nothing left for you to do but sit around in your underwear this weekend snarfing Frito’s and jalapeno black-bean hummus while sipping Lite beer and binge-watching Laugh-in episodes from the ‘60’s cuz you like the jokes that could never possibly air on TV nowadays. Oh, wait, that’s me. Well, you get the idea. So, we had the very serious roundtable discussion yesterday morning here at The Compound, but honestly nothing worthwhile came from it. Omelets stuffed with all kinds of crap were eaten. Round after round of mimosas were passed around. In the end, we didn’t really come up with any conclusive conclusion (see what I did there?) as to why Fearless Leader would blink. UNLESS, it was a feint (military term, look it up) to cover a more sinister action being taken. Yeah, that must be it. So, there is a new report making the rounds of CNN (America’s mostly, kind-of, sort-of trusted news source) that the White House has drafted an emergency declaration to fund the Great Wall of America and has located something just south of $7 billion to pay for the construction start. Of course, that money, according to CNN, includes: money set aside, but not contracted yet, for Hurricane Harvey relief in Texas; money set aside, but not obligated for American infrastructure repairs; and, the usual military construction projects that have yet to get underway. So, let’s review, shall we? When it’s all said and done, we’ll have a friggin’ wall that stretches across the entire southern border for impatient immigrants to scale, dig under, or squeeze through the slats. In return, some poor 85-year-old woman down in Texas will be sitting in her hovel with holes in the roof still without electricity since the hurricane because there’s no more FEMA money to help her out. Americans will be held hostage in their current locations because all the roads and bridges leading out of town will have collapsed or fallen into serious disrepair. But that won’t matter really because the aging sewer and water systems, some of which are more than 100 years old will collapse leading to civil unrest and disease. The military will have a tough time fighting the six wars that the Trump Administration stumbles into on a whim (oh, it’s coming) because no bases have enough useable runways to launch aircraft for transport or defense. Those Central American immigrants will want the hell out of here! Hmmm. It’s Trump’s legacy…he wants it, he’ll have it…embrace it. Okay, admittedly that all seems a bit extreme, but it could all happen! As I’ve said before, I really want Fearless Leader to declare the emergency and rob everyone else to start his wall. Next year, we’ll be dealing with the same crap, because the money that he swindled by declaring an emergency will still be tied up in the courts as everybody and their mother sues Trump. The upside is that he won’t be re-elected (unless of course, a Clinton, any Clinton – pick one - decides to run) and the incoming administration will set new priorities for foolishly spending cash like a bunch of drunken sailors. Remember, you heard it here first! We’re doomed. Just sayin’… That is all! Comments are closed.
