45. Let's Assume Donnie Goes Off The Deep End/Senile/Dies And Pence Takes Over
Mon Nov 28, 2016, 11:17 PM
Nov 2016

Let's assume that Donnie goes off the deep end, gets struck by Alzheimers (Not that I'd wish such a fate even on him), or dies and Mike Pence takes over. Do you think that all those Trumpkins who voted for Donnie are going to rally around Pence, especially when the Congressional Republicans start laying Koch-roach eggs in future budgets?

I doubt it.

Until/unless that eventuality comes to pass, I am reminded of the famous quote by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Ferdinand made when he went ga-ga:

"I am the Emperor, and I want dumplings!"

Dare we keep a modified version like "I am the God Emperor and I want: dumplings

whoopee

golf clubs

(whatever)
