Between now and whenever — or if — some less unhinged person takes charge of the Oval Office, we’ll take note of an occasional viewing-with-alarm story to be lumped into the category, “Hey, he can’t DO THAT … can he?”
Our inaugural entry raises the question of whether Adolf Twitler’s tiny little asshole of a mouth might excrete some of the nation’s deepest, darkest secrets once its operator has been forcibly returned to private life.
“All presidents exit the office with valuable national secrets in their heads, including the procedures for launching nuclear weapons, intelligence-gathering capabilities — including assets deep inside foreign governments — and the development of new and advanced weapon systems,” writes Shane Harris of The Washington Post.
“Not only does Trump have a history of disclosures, he checks the boxes of a classic counterintelligence risk: He is deeply in debt and angry at the U.S. government, particularly what he describes as the ‘deep state’ conspiracy that he believes tried to stop him from winning the White House in 2016 and what he falsely claims is an illegal effort to rob him of reelection.”
The good news, according to the article, is that (a) he hasn’t been paying attention during briefings, and (2) the Espionage Act might close his barn door … if only after all Four Horses of the Apocalypse have already galloped through it.
So we got that going for us, which is nice.

This soon to be ex-president may indeed tax the official no comment policy beyond its intended function.

so long as he can take no paper or electronic media with him, his warped mind will be more dangerous to those seeking info from him than to the rest of us… or so i hope.

He can and will.

I believe we ought to make a citizen’s arrest of him on the grounds that he is psychologically incapable and a risk to the security of the country. We can shoot him with a tranquilizer dart and haul him off to Mar-A-Lago and let him play golf into his fading years. We can build a wall around the resort, paid for by Trump of course, or maybe from the proceeds generated by the zoo visitors wanting to view him in his native habitat, behind bars with a club in his hand.
Dont forget the chicken wings !

What you said reminded me of that Brit series, “The Prisoner” where a British intelligence agent is kidnapped and forced to live in a fake village rather than risk him living out his life in the real world.

“The Prisoner.” Man, I haven’t thought about that show in forever. That was weird with a beard, man. Especially when you think about the hideous dreck that was on TV during 1967-68.
I had the theme song from Paddy McGoohan’s previous show, “Secret Agent,” running through my head the other day.
November 10, 2020 at 8:19 pm |
That was weird. When I took this job, I thought about that bouncing ball that always captured McGoohan.

Maybe we should give him a quadruple dose of ex-lax, and he would disappear out his own asshole.
November 10, 2020 at 1:37 pm |
Maybe hose him down with Preparation H and watch him vanish?

He is another skid mark on humanity’s underwear.

Hey, Patrick. A tip of the hat to your old man and my uncles, who I remember when I put the flag up today.
Meena didn’t want to see that flag for the last four years, in spite of my pleas that the Orange Carcass did not own it. Well, it’s up again.

I always think of our neighbor Marv telling me that he flew Old Glory because he didn’t want “those guys” thinking they had a monopoly on the flag.
November 11, 2020 at 3:29 pm |
Yeah. Its my flag too.

Marv was right. New piece on NPR on the protection provided by cloth masks. Interesting results from new studies that show you are protecting yourself AND others by wearing one.
