![]() Friends, I do hope you’re enjoying your Wednesday and all that Hump Day might offer in the way of humping or at least looking forward to another stinking weekend. Me? I’m back down inside my hidey hole here at The Compound expecting Fearless Leader to do something really stupid this week. Why would I say that, you ask? Because, friends, I spend far too much time watching the 24-hour news cycle across the board (really need to learn to shut off the televisions here in the office). I’m convinced that Fearless Leader’s low-attention-whore light is blinking red and something has got to give. Think about it. For the past two or more months he’s been zipping around the country attending rallies trying to get out the GOP vote during the mid-term elections. What did that get him? Well, the adulation of the people who attend that sort of thing for one thing. Oh, and then there was the Dems taking back the house for another. He flies to France for Armistice Day ceremonies but doesn’t visit Aisne-Marne American Cemetery where nearly 3,900 Americans are laid to rest. Some reports have him holed up in the ambassador’s residence in Paris watching news reports of political maneuvers back home. Maybe, maybe not. His endless tweets would seem to bear that out though. Oh, and he’s blaming everyone from the Secret Service to his own Chief of Staff for not attending. Good strategy there…blame everyone to deflect blame on you. Hmmm. He reportedly screamed at the British Prime Minister over the phone while flying to France after she called to offer congratulations on at least holding onto the Senate in the mid-terms. Of course, the media trolled him endlessly for not making the trip to the American Cemetery. The White House swore that it was because the weather was too bad. Hmmm…maybe, maybe not. I did note that Chief of Staff John Kelly and General Dunford made it there. The only time we saw Fearless Leader smile during the entire trip was when the vulture Putin showed up. Weird goings on, I’m telling you. But wait, it doesn’t end there. So, upon his return from Europe the rumors of more shake-ups in the White House begin to spew forth. Particularly worrisome are the pending terminations of John Kelly and Homeland secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Although we predicted the demise of Nielsen in September 2017, to her credit she’s hung in there mostly becoming the administration’s cheerleader for the Great Wall of America to keep out those pesky terroristic refugees. So, what do tyrants do when things start to go south or in the case of Fearless Leader people stop talking about you so much or begin badmouthing you to the extreme? You start lopping off heads, of course, usually followed by making everyone eat cake. Blaming everyone else for your woes is a great strategy when you’re a narcissistic egomaniac. It’s your only strategy. The problem with Kelly and Nielsen punching out (actual Naval Aviation term I did NOT make up), is that they are the last of the remaining adult supervision in that place. BUT, the MOST puzzling of all things was the White House announcing on Monday a lid on the President’s schedule. A lid is when the WH cancels any public events for Fearless Leader. What makes that puzzling is that it came Monday morning meaning that Fearless Leader would not honor America’s veterans by attending ceremonies two miles away at Arlington National Cemetery as every president since probably Woodrow Wilson has done. Why the hell would you do that? I mean, you’re using the military as your personal police auxiliary on the Mexican border – a mission they are neither trained, funded, nor intended to accomplish. BUT, in all fairness, Fearless Leader is not completely to blame. Using the U.S. military as the world’s f#*king police force began in the Clinton administration, but still…don’t you feel that you owe the military something? Anything? No, Fearless Leader, you probably don’t. So, he didn’t go Arlington Cemetery on Monday…that is astounding to me. It tells me that he’s up to something. Maybe he and his pal Putin are planning something big. Or, he’s wringing his hands over whatever hand Mueller is about to deal. Who knows? Me…I’m down in the hidey hole and not coming out until the all clear. That is all! Comments are closed.
