tRumpolini just spent 4 minutes talking about his

pen.

I keep my TV on but muted most of the time. While I was folding clothes a few minutes ago I glanced up to see a banner below tRump rambling on at his Cabinet Meeting this morning in which he spent 4 minutes talking about and showing his signing pen. FOUR MINUTES.

So was this his Captain Queeg moment? His rant about the strawberries moment? Aren’t we all looking for a sign that it is past time for this Orange Ogre to go? Grab the nets, boys, it’s time for the locked facility. How much longer do we have to watch his Cabinet sit by, smile, chuckle and head bob at their dear leader and act like this is amusing or NORMAL?

Four minutes of nonsense while we are at war. SMH

1. The latest Sharpie technology is a chip that syncs as an Autopen directly to Putin and 'yahu.

2. He runs out the clock. Rambling, snide remarks, lame jokes, insults.

His goal is to debase the Presidency utterly.

3. Will it even be mentioned in the media? If that was Joe Biden it would be breaking news for days.

I am so disgusted with this non-coverage.

“See this pen right here?” Trump said at the start of a roughly five-minute, on-and-off diatribe on the Sharpie. “This pen is an interesting example.”

It was one of several lengthy asides the president made during the meeting that sometimes felt especially jarring given how many more important things his top advisers could have been discussing.

4. And instead of Queeg's steel balls...

... Trump's caressing Putin's plums in his soft little hand.

5. Where's LT. Steve Maryk when you need him?

Or Fletcher Christian. Anyone.

6. The pen segment seemed more about what a "great deal" he got. He says he called up a guy to order pens and asked

how much they'd cost. They're "special" pens, of course, with gold, yada, yada, yada. So, according to Trump, the guy says, "I'll give them to you free, Sir, because you're the President." Trump, generous man that he is tells the guy he'll pay him $5 a pen and it's a deal. Then Trump laughs about what a good deal it was because the pens are now worth $1,000 each. Screwing the little guy on live TV.

7. Maybe he was

Going to start a rant on Joe and the autopen, then forgot what he was going to say.
