CNN hosts crack up at Tell-All bits, but it's not safe to laugh at Drumpf - he's still here

Last edited Wed Sep 29, 2021, 12:38 PM - Edit history (2)

Not even is Drumpf not gone, but his Deplorables we shall always have with us (as their Bible says about the Poor), so it’s not really safe for laughing. In the latest tell-all, among the “funny” things are Drumpf’s telling PUTEEN he was only acting/wagging his finger about not interfering in our elections, had to act tough for the cameras. And keeping the anesthesia secret so as not turning over the office to the vice president. Minimally impeachable, max treason.

But our American naivete is endless. Even if we use words like “enemy” or “dirty tricks” about the opposite political party or country, our street smarts are lacking: Even whatever compromat PUTEEN has on Drumpf, he is relentless in the smallest dirty tricks, coughing to trigger Drumpf’s germophobia and planting a Honey Pot translator to lure him. I would have thought that Drumpf’s being a Willing Dupe/Useful Idiot would be enough.

And I would have thought the coughing was real, to plant the covid as another version of poison.

*** ON EDIT: How did it get started around here that Mediaite is a wingnut outfit? It's Dan ABRAMS' baby, not that he's our tool or anything.

CNN’s John Berman and Brianna Keilar Bust Out Laughing Over Jaw-dropping Trump Revelation in Grisham Book

.... 3. “Vladimir Putin tried to throw Trump off during their summit in Osaka by bringing an attractive female interpreter to distract Trump. ....

4. “Putin also coughed a lot, trying to rile up Trump’s germophobia.” ....

5. “Trump told Putin he had to act tough in front of the cameras, standing next to them, assuring the president, the Russian president, it was all for show.” ....

6. “As for the mysterious visit to Walter Reed in 2019, a colonoscopy, although Grisham doesn’t use the exact word for it for which the former president needed anesthesia. Grisham says he didn’t want anyone knowing because he didn’t want to give up power to Mike Pence while he was under.” ....

Sometimes laughing at those seeking absolute power and pointing out how ridiculous they actually are is incredibly effective. Not saying it necessarily applies in the case you mentioned, but laughing can take away their power.

and, yes, the prep is worse than the procedure.

However, I've always had anesthesia. No one's putting a probe there with me being awake.

However, if it's not your first rodeo, maybe it's possible?
