Nota Bene #1

It COULD BE that he is wearing dark suits because he is wearing a Foley catheter with a leg bag, which was evident in several of his photos in lighter blue suits as well as another device, possibly an infusion pump which may be connected to an indwelling venous port.

I’m gonna go Full Monty, so to speak, here and say that IT COULD BE that he has an extremely serious medical condition and this is why IT MIGHT WELL BE: well, just Lookit….

His schedule has changed and is not “starting work”😂 until noon. He is suffering the side effects of medications: drowsiness, mood alteration (yes I know but his minimal filters are gone), swelling in his periorbital area, and other manifestations. He is awake most of the night because that is when anxiety attacks -believe me, I know. He PERHAPS is receiving medical treatment in the morning hours and knowing a few narcissists in my life, it takes them oh-so-long to get ready in the morning what with arbitrary decision-making about clothes, how many cups of coffee, who to call first thing, makeup and hair, personal ranting time, and other ministerial minutiae. Couple that with medical attention and four hours of preparation seems reasonable.

It’s all off the rails,and for a press which delights in “reporting” such issues as Anne Heche’s driving record and prescription drug history and Michael Jackson’s actions involving underage individuals, they are largely ignoring the political equivalent of the Hindenburg disaster. Just ike the airship, the “essential fluid” has exploded and the fabric is being consumed by a conflagration as the framework falls to the Earth.


I’m writing this from a cruise ship located in the Carribbean, having consumed more alcohol daily than I normally drink in three months and having a terrific time AWAY geographically at least from the toxic environment which America has become, thanks to the allowable propagation of lies, of hate, and of stupidity.

In these times of uncertainty, the sure thing is that someday, perhaps very soon, this particular era will come to an end and there will be no shortage of hypocritical apologists bending over backward elaborately and faux-humbly explaining their lack of professionalism, historical knowledge of similar situations in the past, and self-righteousness during this absurd time. For one, I can’t wait to pillory these morons and metaphorically hoist them with their own petards. Cant. Fucking. Wait.

Facebook I would reply with that 100 % avatar.

Such strange times we are living in. It all seems like a nightmare. I’m tired of being outraged by The Felon’s behavior every single day.

I love a cruise - positively metaphysical. Have a great sail!!

My favorite thing here on DU are the people who come on and say, “I wouldn’t go on a cruise if they paid me! I’ve never been on one but I know I’d hate it.”

Ok…😂

Every time some production worker said they'd never fly in one of the airplanes they were building, they
got a friendly ass chewing from me for doing substandard work, "peoples lives depend on the us"
