Just Not Funny Anymore
I’ve taken a few days off from blogging as I have re-evaluated my blogging and specifically my Trump-bashing. It has been fun up to now making jokes at the expense of Trump, a political simpleton. But it is becoming obvious that he is being manipulated by Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, two evil ghouls who have sold their souls in exchange for political contributions and personal wealth. With visible evidence that Trump is showing signs of dementia, this use of Trump as a puppet for the McConnell/Ryan agenda is, well, to steal a line from Trump … Sad!
As I drove back from St. Louis on Tuesday night, I listened to news that Jon Ossoff lost his Georgia congressional race. Four months ago, that would have been no surprise, but momentum and hope built so that his loss felt like being on the receiving end of a gut punch. Topping that was news of the horrible Trumpcare plan being rushed through the Senate that literally will kill people. People will die because of this McConnell/Ryan plan that Trump will rubber stamp because he doesn’t know any better and will do as told, except in regard to the tweeting.
Hidden Messages
I have expounded my theory before on this blog that Donald Trump is NOT the blithering idiot that he appears to be, despite behavior to the contrary, over and over and over. It is my stated theory that he is sending us hidden messages, not to be confused with the hidden massages that he is keeping secret from Melania. Take this series of tweets from this morning for example …
It is so obvious to me that he is couching his message secretly, so that it takes some thought to see what he is really saying. This is not to be confused with sofaing the message when your phone drops down between the cushions while tweeting. No, he’s really got a message for us, but we have to separate the wheat words from the chaff words. Allow me to demonstrate …
New Math
We got this pearl of wisdom (among others) from His Orangeness this morning …
I know there had recently been some controversy about how many Trump Twitter followers were real accounts and how many were (Russian) bots. Taking a look this morning, I see that Twitter Audit estimated this …
Sad!
From today …
I don’t have any jokes about this. I do think it is important to see the sad ravings of this pathetic excuse for a man.
In addition to Trump’s desperate tweets, Jared Kushner’s business dealings (money laundering) are now under investigation, and Mike Pence has lawyered up, so it was a decent day overall.
And with a late round pick in the Kremlingate legal draft, Robert Mueller selects …
Kremlingate Special Counsel Robert Mueller just hired Michael Dreeben to join his investigative team, although his addition may signal the team turning from investigative to more prosecutorial now.
From the Washington Post, “Michael is the most brilliant and most knowledgeable federal criminal lawyer in America — period,” said Walter Dellinger, a law professor at Duke University School of Law and acting solicitor general for the 1996-1997 term of the Supreme Court.
Donald Trump, “Uh-oh.”
The WaPo continues, “Dreeben is 1 of the top legal & appellate minds at DOJ in modern times,” former Manhattan U.S. attorney Preet Bharara tweeted after learning of Mueller’s recruitment of Dreeben.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has this guy in his corner …
Welcome Back
I was sooooooooooooooo disappointed with the James Comey testimony yesterday at the Senate Committee hearing. Where was the Donald Trump live tweeting that was floated as a possibility? It was almost 48 hours between tweets for Trump and none live when Comey was testifying. And now, this is the first tweet we get as we welcome Trump back to the twitterverse …
Based on that twisted tweet, it appears that Trump may have asked Senator John McCain to explain to him about what actually went on at the Comey Senate Committee hearing. I’m just surprised that he didn’t mention Crooked Hillary and call to Lock Her Up.
Happy James Comey Day!
The long-awaited day is finally here, along with news that Melania and Barron Trump will be moving into the White House on June 14th. This is really odd news considering that James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Committee today all but guarantees that Donald Trump will be moving out of the White House soon. Upon reflection, maybe that’s why she’s moving in.

When the opening acts are as good or better than the headliner …
Happy James Comey Day Eve. All of us are anxiously awaiting the big show tomorrow as James Comey is scheduled to testify in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. That will indeed be a notable event in history as the gears of justice slowly grind together to remove traitors from elected and appointed positions in the government of the USA.
But do not overlook the opening acts … the under-card … the appetizers … the foreplay … the preface in a book … the reading of Miranda Rights before an arrest … the clouds before a storm … the feeling of bloat before a belch … the shrinking of genitals before a cold swim … the cramming before a test … the drugging before a date with Bill Cosby …

Happy James Comey Week, I Hope
As former FBI Director James Comey’s Senate testimony looms, I feel like a kid the week before Christmas who is expecting a new bike under the tree on Christmas morning. I just have to get that new bike. Right now I feel like I’m riding a girl’s coaster bike with a hot pink seat. James Comey’s testimony on Thursday will be that cool new BMX bike waiting for me on Christmas morning. However, all the time running through the back of my mind is the fear that rather than the BMX bike, I’ll get clothes, heavy on the underwear.

No Sugar With My Covfefe
Finally, finally, finally, we get an honest-to-God real tweet from Donald Trump that actually makes the most sense of any tweet he has ever sent …
I can’t argue with him or parody this in any way. I agree 100%.
Where’s Donald?
I was pleased to see that the fate of the Free World is in the good hands of Angela Merkel of Germany and Emmanuel Macron of France, seen here walking & talking together as they walked through the streets of Sicily at the G7 Summit.
But where’s Donald Trump?

Melancholy Melania
Melania Trump has grown even more despondent after returning from her international trip with Donald Trump.
Sources tell us that the depressive trigger on the trip was when Melania Trump had an opportunity to meet Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron.
Do Team Trump Members Look Better in Black & White Stripes or Solid Orange?
I just recently posted a flow chart to help people identify huge dead sea creatures that wash up on beaches. You’re welcome! I can only hope it will come in handy for you someday.
But even I have to admit, that there are more pressing matters facing this country today than unidentified giant sea creatures dying on our beaches waiting to be identified. With that in mind, I am pleased to present this handy flow chart to help you identify which Team Trump members will serve prison time.
