Here is the short list of excuses why being a billionaire/President is difficult: (1) I am not a politician! (2) I only mean about a third of what I say! (3) I can’t trust politicians – only Vlade Putin! (4) Only MY family gets to know the inside things about the family business! (5) I have a million friends!…in fact 59 million! (6) No one else can do what I do! (7) I can’t consider liquidating any of my holdings…its all too complex! (8) Whatever I’m making as President is peanuts! (9) It is going to take four years to get enough campaign donations, in that I need to pay off the Trump University $25 Million dollar Settlement….which I am actually – not going pay! (10) I don’t have time to go see “Hamiliton”, as long as I have an IRS audit going on! (11) If you were a member of the Oligarch Club of Russia….would you turn in your Platinum Charter Membership Card and the 1000 nights of free hotel? (12) Where is Bill Clinton when I need him – why doesn’t he answer my calls? (13) I am going to be very busy beating up and Pardoning Hillary 17 times more during the next four years – so don’t bug me! (14) I only hire the handicapped….because they can be fired so easily! (15) I can’t wait to intimidate foreign leaders – and make them come here, because I’m never going to leave Trump Towers!
*The famous 60’s record entitled: “Whistle Stopping with Jonathan Winters”….The female news reporter had this interview with Chief Thunder Thud: “So, Chief – what kind of President do you want?” “I want strong man with blue coat……bright buttons and yellow stripe down side of pants…..man with long flowing blond hair…….Man like Custer…at least we knew where he was!”
So, the question is: Did we hire the Apprentice? Or Peter Potter – “Is it a hit or a miss?”
Perhaps we are just experiencing what they call a time of “Diminished Expectations”. Perhaps we are just “Spoiled Sports” or suffer from the law of “Sour Grapes”?. Perhaps we are just expecting less, because the whole thing is being choreographed and manipulated by “A Master of Marketing”. “Let people think you are stupid and then do something brilliant!” Perhaps we have misread the entire electorate that voted for the Trumpster! Perhaps we thought that most people had elevated their ethical, moral and intellectual aim to a time in the 21st Century when “we could all just get along!” Perhaps we thought the world was ready for medical cures that would end all illness. Perhaps we thought that it was time to stop polluting the planet and make vehicles which required no more fossil fuels and bring them to every Third World Community. Obviously, those observations were in error. We will be shortly facing a very serious time of conflict, self imposed chaos and hap-hazard morality issues. We are definitely going to war……when, to what level and what degree are the only questions. How many people should we kill? Is there a definitive number that equates to “Making America Great Again”? Does it matter whether the people we kill are “ours” or “theirs”?
Conflicts of Interest?…..don’t sweat the details!
Oh, but I am sweating the details.
*Look at it this way…..he is really Louis the XIII th reincarnated and she is really
Marie Antoinette. So, when do we start the “Torches and Pitchfork sale” on Amazon?
Maybe on Black Friday, would be appropriate?
That would be Louis XVI.
*We don’t drink Louie the 16th……and never have. Louis the 13th comes in a crystal decanter worth about $500 bucks. The Louis the 16th comes in a small brown wine box at Trader Joe’s.
That explains your confusion of who was married to Marie Antoinette … by a century or two.
If I were you I’d quit drinking altogether. Might help.
*Regardless……Louis the 13th…….would have loved Marie Antoinette……. and our Slovenian First Lady reminds us more of Marie than Anne!
Anne of Austria? Hard to believe!
European History has always been such a bore: Tales of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers and Phantom of the Opera are about all most people can stand. Then you have the Russian authors…….The Red and the Black, The Brothers Karamasov and Julie Christy, Omar Sharif – Doctor Zhviago…and of
course War and Peace! Of course if you really want to get you can start reading Charles Dickens…..we suppose. Sadly, we are more Mark Twain Americans with a dabbling of Will Rogers, Jonathan Winters and Rodney Dangerfield. One exception however was Captain from Castile…..
Are you sure that at the end there you don’t mean “Captain and Tennille?
P.S. By the way, I liked most of this one.
“Sadly, we are more Mark Twain Americans with a dabbling of Will Rogers”
No, you are more this guy kind of Americans.
*No, but back in the day when we voted for George Wallace…..they may have
spiked our Marlboro Reds at the local liquor store….and then….well, who
knows what really happened in Area 51? What did the Ground Observer
Corps really see? After all, there were no cell phones with cameras in those
days….you know!
*In greater news…..our buddy Steven Moore is going to be Trump’s Finance Advisor along with Larry Kudlow. These guys want $70-$120 dollar a barrel oil, to help prop up Big Oil and the Russian Oligarchs for Trump. The cost of virtually everything will skyrocket that is Big Oil/Big Chema associated. In order to do this Trump will be raising the cost of a gallon of gas to $10 dollars. They want 4% growth in the United States, but meanwhile Big Pharma can still sell $1000 dollar drugs here for $25 bucks in other countries and still make those drugs for 3 to 4 cents a piece in India. That is not going to change.The cost of medication and Healthcare will skyrocket and we can look back to the days of Obama Care with jealous abandon. So Nipsy, you will be the Alien that wants to live on Mars….soon enough.
*Forgot to mention: Trump wants Fracking, Oil Pipe Lines and Off Shore Drilling.
*If you saw the First 100 Ways Speech yesterday…..you see that Trump wants to raise Interest Rates, Raise Taxes on the Middle Class and raise the cost of energy through artificially propping up Big Oil Projects like Keystone Pipeline, Fracking and Dark Coal.
The main thing is that Foreign Governments do not live in vacuum. They will be competing with the US for Investment dollars. If we raise Interest Rates, the price of Energy goes up, Gas, Electric and Oil. Additionally, borrowing for the little guy will become another problem that it was during the George and Laura years. Institutional Investors are going to flee American Markets and follow more lucrative markets across the Globe. It will become tougher to for companies start up, tougher for companies to pay down their debt, tougher to competing globally. This is another failed idea which only supports Big Oil, Big Pharma and Big Chema. This will certainly not encourage the purchase of US Made Autos or Equipment….again. You cannot fine tune the Global Economy with a hatchet. But then, those Investment Banker buddies of his and his Big Pharma people…..will be doing just fine….buying and affording those Lexus and Range Rovers,. And what about the American Environmental Laws? Doesn’t sound promising. What are his plans for New Technology?
*Wartime: 57% spent on Military Spending, 1.4% Spent on Social Security
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/aug/17/facebook-posts/pie-chart-federal-spending-circulating-internet-mi/
And we get a 1/10th of 1 percent increase in 2017 for Social Security? When the price of borrowing goes up because we are in competition with the Military who buys things from all over the world….what do think is going to happen? Healthcare? Is going way up.
*Interest rates go up, Inflation goes up, Energy Costs go up, Big Pharma Cost go up,
Job Development moves to other countries, Manufacturing moves to other countries, Someone is going to get trickled on…….
Small businesses close down, more Walmarts and Costcos and another Soviet Five Year Plan. The Cost of Real Estate falls, the Cost of Rent Falls and Foreign Governments come to the US to buy everything up again. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Like World Recession maybe? Stagflation……Trump/Carter 2020!
*it is going to be fun to watch the next four years of Trump-i-holics take charge of our Global Community. Hey, maybe even a few Homeless people will find homes….or not!
We can’t wait to NOT hear the names Bill and Hillary or Barack and Michelle….uttered
by this Administration.
*Watching the Trumpoids on cable……we.can’t hold it back: “Liar, Liar, pants on fire!” “Happy Thanksgiving to all….. and to all a goodnight!”
