Typically, the President of the United States gains some extra powers during wartime. Presumably, this applies to Donny, too, and he knows it. The Heritage Foundation told him. In fact, in order to do whatever evil he wants to do on any given day, he needs the extra powers of wartime. To that end, he keeps declaring the US is in an “armed conflict” with… well, fill in the blank.

At first it was gangs, but a smarter person – namely a judge – pointed out that a few gang members – or even a lot of them – hardly constitute an invading army. So now it’s drug dealers. He says we’re in an armed conflict with drug dealers and he has declared some of them terrorist threats. He’s using this story as legal cover for his “extrajudicial killings” – they mean “murders” – of people out on boating trips off of the coast of Venezuela.

There have been three boats, seventeen people, he has murdered this way, as of this writing. He makes jokes about attacking them. HE claims they were just chock-full of drugs – the boats, not the people. Then again, he IS the Father of Lies. With him, it’s the occasional truth slipping out that becomes noteworthy. Mostly, he just wants the power and this is the deceit he has chosen.

It seems to be an idea he lifted from Rodrigo Duterte, the ex-president of the Philippines. Now might be a good time to mention, Duterte’s current position is “defendant” at the World Court. He’s on trial for crimes against humanity. He, too, murdered an awful lot of people pretending they were all drug dealers. See? That’s a promising outcome in the long run and we can, collectively, hold the thought.

If it’s good enough for Duterte, it’s certainly good enough for the trumpster. He has already ordered the murders. Now all we have to do is get him to the Hague…

The other day, Donny told a reporter that the Roberts Supremely Corrupted Kangaroo Court’s ruling that the President – or in this case, Donny – has near-perfect immunity would probably help Obama a lot. “But,” he added, “it doesn’t help the people who worked for him at all.”

Tell the truth, if you were one of the people working for 47, wouldn’t that statement make you just a wee bit nervous as he careens on his rampage of revenge and shatters law after law? Donny will claim immunity. His minions will have no such claim…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, he’s done it again. Donny is a very small person and he knows it. Still, he wants everybody to think he’s important and so, from time to time, he tries to prove how important he is by sharing some secret he has. I’m pretty sure that’s how Putin gets information from him.
“Donald, I know you’re important but I bet they won’t let you have the nuclear codes.”
“I do TOO have the codes because I’m the importantist!” Donny whines. “They’re right here, see?”

Vlad does see. So does his lapel camera. As Donny offers up the proof of his “importance,” Vlad just snaps a photo, smiles, and says, “Ah, yes, I can see that you ARE important.”
“The importantist!” Donny insists, proud that he foiled his adversary.

And now he’s done it again. The Felonious Fraudster posted a video of himself because, of course he did. But, it wasn’t “himself.” It was AI generated. I’m not sure he realized. Presumably, he can’t remember making the video and he should know that it’s not really him but I don’t take anything for granted with this guy. He sees himself, that’s good enough for him.

The AI generated video is for Med Beds, a device that is said to restore human beings back to perfect health. It can even restore severed limbs! The video said Med Bed hospitals were to be made public, with every citizen given a free access card. I suppose this was him, teasing the ‘replacement for Obamacare’ he has long promised but never delivered.

The video didn’t stay up long. I suppose because such technology is OBVIOUSLY not intended for the great unwashed. Those things cost, like, an arm and a leg to get into, which is okay, since it puts the arm and the leg right back but still, they’re intended for rich people, not the poors. Donny should NOT have said the poors will gain access and down came the video.

Oh, Med Beds are also said to be a gift from aliens. THAT got me thinking. It sounds so… familiar. Then it came to me. I know the alien species we got that tech from! They’re called The Goa’uld! (That’s ‘Gua,’ as in ‘guacamole’ and ‘oold’ as in, um, ‘oold,’ or sometimes just ‘Gould’ as in ‘Elliot.’) Of course, THAT means Donny also, accidentally, spilled the beans on a super-de-duper, extra-elite US fighting force called ‘Stargate Command.’ The warriors of Stargate Command use other ancient alien technology to travel from planet to planet, liberating each from the evil clutches of the Goa’uld as they go.

The Goa’uld had exactly that technology, only they didn’t call them Med Beds. They called them sarcophagi. (They had a whole ancient Egypt vibe going. It’s a long story.) One could climb into the sarcophagus all beaten and battered and emerge young and beautiful and in perfect health again. I learned all about them by watching what are apparently historical documents recording the exploits of the lead Stargate Command team, called SG-1. And here I thought it was just a television show.

But the President of the United States, or even Donny, wouldn’t be posting videos about fictitious technology created as a plot device on a television show, and promising to make said fictitious technology available to everyone, would he? I mean, would he? A person would have to be ridiculously stupid to fall for such a… um… okay, never mind…

Man, the Niners won a squeaker on Thursday night, didn’t they? It’s been fairly ugly, the way they’ve been winning. BUT, they’ve been winning – and an ugly win is better than a picture-perfect loss. The Niners are banged up. Then again, the Niners are ALWAYS banged up. The Niners don’t have a sideline, they have an infirmary…
