Going down, tovarisch?
I can’t imagine why anyone thinks it impossible that Russia might have compromising information about the Pestilence-Elect.
Clearly, we could do with a deeper dive into this sordid pool of intelligence, or the lack thereof. And personally, I’d like to see the matter given at least as much attention as the Case of the Kenyan Crypto-Mooslim Socialist Usurper’s Birth Certificate.
But while we await further developments, let’s consider what we already know.
First, Darth Cheeto is a fellow who pretty much does as he pleases. Also, he thinks he’s (a) smarter than the average bear and (2) invulnerable thanks to his battle-tested squadron of pinstriped flying monkeys. (“Release the lawyers!”)
Prideful he is. What is it that pride goeth before? Yoda?
“A fall.”
Ding ding ding ding ding!
The Russians have a phrase for this sort of person: “useful idiot.” But from a certain perspective, the Pestilence-Elect — or, as some of the Twitterati have begun calling him, PEEOTUS — doesn’t even need to be an actual stooge, unless we’re talking Moe, Larry or Curly.
No, all he needs to be is a distraction.
Vladimir Putin clearly considers himself a wiseguy, and like the Pestilence-Elect is something of a developer, with blueprints of his own. If I were such a person and had kinky video of Darth Cheeto, I’d YouTube it about 10 seconds after his tiny hand comes off the Bible on Jan. 20, then sit back, pour a delicious beverage, and watch the United States spend a few years eating itself alive.
“It’s Stoli time.”

Trump thinks he’s the best Checkers player of all time…except Putin, China, et al are playing world class chess. “Ha ha, I jumped you, give me my crown.”

Dead right! The “Tangerine Trash Can Fire” (courtesy of Samantha Bee?) is clever and cunning for sure, but a genius he’s not. He’s now got himself in the big leagues and he’s way, way out of his element. Remember, this is a guy who failed at running casinos, an airline, a bike race, a mortgage company, a “university” a pro football team and gawd-knows-what-else.
I think plenty of those who voted for this disgusting clown will soon be saying what my wife says….about themselves.

Dude is used to punching down, is what. He’s in a whole different weight class now. This game is a whole lot more like MMA than WWE.

He put the country in peril to feed his ego. Professor Heather is proven right again. Can anyone say President Pence and Vice President Hatch? Quick, fill the swamp back up before the pond scum dries up.

You hit on what may be the worst part PO’B – if Il Duce II were to choke on a KFC bone, Pence would be in-charge. Who’s next after that, Paul “Eddie Munster” Ryan? Gawd help us all!

I’m thinking any compromising video or such would be sent via diplomatic courier the the Newly Elected One for his private viewing. Of course it would be followed by a wish list of policy changes needed to keep it private.

It’s looking more like James Comey with a little help from the fourth estate successfully assured that Hillary was an aweful person; but Donald was clean and trouble free!
January 11, 2017 at 1:06 pm |
Kevin Drum agrees with you, Charley.
January 11, 2017 at 2:35 pm |
And now we have the $64 question. Will anyone call Comey out on it? Also, why did Obama let it slide?

Its funny how the party who dreamed up the .K.K.K. and showed the original “Birth of a Nation” at the White House could not get enough brown skinned people to vote for her. They just stayed home or voted for whats his name.

Mike, I’d say the problem of the moment is not the woman who won the popular vote, but the man who won the electoral tally. Any thoughts on that?
Also, speaking as someone who’s interviewed a few Klansmen face to face, I feel fairly certain that they were not registered Democrats. Call it an educated guess.

The reason they thought up the Electoral College was because they didn’t want all the power to reside in Virginia or the other popular states. They also wanted a buffer to keep the mob mentality down to a minimum. I suppose you could overthrow the electoral college, but you have to get at least three quarters of the states to ratify that. Better do it quick, you got about four weeks.
I somehow don’t think that would be a terribly easy job.
January 11, 2017 at 1:49 pm |
You didn’t answer my question, Mike. What do you think about the man who won the electoral tally? Is he a problem or not?
Also, we still have impeachment/conviction and the 25th Amendment available as necessary. But I don’t see either option as feasible unless the Republicans in DeeCee decide that Darth Cheeto is cutting too deeply into their action.

I truly loth His trumpness. But since I a childhood diabetic and was born a month premature I think that anyone who won’t kill me in the womb has my vote.
According to popular affirmation she already have seen two terms (she called it a co-presidency)
He was the “Face” and She was the “Brain”

Ah, I don’t believe I knew you were diabetic. An old bike-racing pal of mine back in Bibleburg is an insulin-dependent diabetic. Rides a motorcycle, too, and is a helluva descender on road and trail. He’d clip in at the top of some peak, you’d hear a pop! and there’d suddenly be a hole in the air where he used to be. Zoom zoom, is what.
As regards abortion, I’m inclined to leave that decision to a woman and her doctor(s). If the participating male wants to chime in with his opinion, fine. And in a perfect world there would be no need for this sort of thing at all. But that’s not the world we live in and I consider that the decision is ultimately hers.
I nearly got involved in such a decision when I was 18, and boy, was I ever relieved when the “pregnancy” turned out to be a false alarm. The relationship was already doomed, and I had just finished my first year of college, where I had failed to excel. I had no job, no skills, and no brains, and the reproductive experiment would have ended very badly indeed for at least two of us, and maybe three.
Four and a half decades down the road I’ve become deeply suspicious of single-issue voters, and abortion is the big dog on that porch. I’ve noticed that many right-to-life types lose interest in said life once the hatchling is on the ground, “free” to starve, die for lack of medical care, get shipped off to illegal and immoral wars, or be executed by The State.
And Darth Cheeto — who has fathered five children by three women — doesn’t exactly strike me as a particularly devout sort. He sure as hell doesn’t know his Bible. Did I mention that I was a Bible salesman when I feared I was in peril of becoming a pappy? My main qualification was that I looked a lot like Jesus.
I wonder how Darth Cheeto’s position on abortion has evolved over the years. It would be interesting to find out if any larval Trumps never made it to the crib, much less to one of his infrequent press conferences.
Maybe the Russians can fill us in on that.

I am interviewing tomorrow for a job as a CEO of a major corporation involved in health care. I hope they only ask me one question before they decide to hire me. After all, what have they got to lose?
January 12, 2017 at 6:48 pm |
I don’t think anyone is “pro” abortion, are they? But these anti-abortion types would do better to adopt some pre-made kids whose mothers couldn’t care for them instead of wasting their time with signs and chanting outside Planned Parenthood offices, dontcha think? The Rethugs are way-too-concerned about “children” while in the womb, but seem to not give-a-s__t about them (or their mothers) once they’re born.

Anyone got the number of that guy who was organising one-way trips to Mars?
January 11, 2017 at 2:05 pm |
He’s gonna need a bigger launch vehicle, methinks.

Maybe the swamp has turned into a shark tank?

I wonder what Putin has on him, it’s got to be some sexual thing, young girls, young boys. Our country is in deep shit.

Enough (though barely) morons voted for the “Pussy Grabber-in-Chief:” in November. Why would new evidence (even with rock-solid proof) of debauchery make any difference? I agree with your last sentence – my ACLU membership is paid up and another check might be on the way soon!
January 12, 2017 at 7:51 am |
exactly.
