Us geezers having flashbacks to Tricky Dick's downfall. The PENCE pardon of DRUMPF will be"enhanced" [View all]

Last edited Wed Feb 15, 2017, 06:07 PM - Edit history (1)

Similarities/differences:

* Today's totally less honorable and craven-for-power Repukes will deprive us of the delicious, spell binding HEARINGS.

* So PENCE is positioned as the Gerald FORD figure, hopefully only for the similarly one-term remnant.

* I'm longing for the day to hear: "Our long national nightmare is over."

* Probably PENCE will issue a Pardon, as with FORD/NIXON.

* But things are more condensed and faster now, so the PENCE/DRUMPF pardon will be ENHANCED (as in "enhanced interrogation&quot and EXTREME (as in "extreme vetting&quot . So it will not just be a Get-out-of-jail-free card; it will be GOLD PLATED, a license for DRUMPF to brand the world!1 "DRUMPF" on the planet will probably be visible from space!1

All depending on DRUMPF's not blowing us up first.

A plaintive P.S.: Sigh. Why do we have to go through all this (for some of us, "again&quot ? To think that it's all because one puny jerk had a thought, "I could be president." And lacking normal insight, instead of his letting the moment pass, he went with the impulse and then, too late, got himself in too deep. And here the rest of us are. It's like that science fiction meme about going back in time to take-out some monster from History before he did what he did.
