“There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.” Arthur Jensen to Howard Beale. From the movie Network, written by Paddy Chayefsky.
Seashells? Really? Seashells!
Oh, sure. After about a week of being at the butt end of every comedian’s routine as well as every barroom blather-babble (my favorite type), “acting” Attorney General Todd Blanche said he most certainly has other charges to lay on former FBI Director James Comey, but he was not at liberty to say what those charges are. He’s new on the job, so he hasn’t had enough time to make new shit up.
By the way, “acting,” when used in reference to any Donald Trump appointee, is a euphemism for “Donald Trump.”
All these unending persecutions of Comey are the result of his tempestuous relationship with The Donald back in the beginning of Trump’s first term, when he actually employed a couple people who were smart and courageous. Those appointments, of course, did not last long. The fact is, if Comey did not break with F.B.I. procedure and launch still another investigation into Hillary Clinton and her email servers shortly before the election, she would have won the 2016 presidential campaign. You’d think the Orange Hump would show him a little gratitude!
Please. He becomes an octogenarian in about five weeks. He also needs time to adjust. Earth just ain’t what it used to be before the Fascists lost World War II.
Blanche busted Comey for this photo of seashells that he and his boss both claim is a provocation to assassinate the president of the United States. The shells spelled out “8647,” which became the bank passcode of a great many MAGAts.
Of course, a couple thousand committed truth seekers, a/k/a snotty leftist rabble-rousers, immediately whipped out their phones and searched Amazon for “8646,” which, according to Trump and Blanche, must mean these people were attempting to murder or otherwise inconvenience Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, a/k/a President 46. The products shown on my page are among the many that are still available today.
So, this must be an active conspiracy!
This raises at least one more question: who ratted Comey out? Trump didn’t look at this on his own because he wasn’t in the shot, and, unless you actually received a 600% discount on prescriptions (meaning the druggist would be paying you six times what you would have paid him otherwise) you know The Donald is not good at math, either. That’s why he always hired, in his own words, “those Jewish guys who wear the beanies.”
Yup. That’s Earth-Two for “some of my best friends are Jewish employees.”
So who showed Blanche the seashells shot? And why? What was going through that cat’s mind?
And while I’m on the subject of shining light on political pleasures, does it look to you like the next Trump/Blanche meeting is going to be held in a steam room? We know you’ll do anything to get the real A.G. job, Todd — well, anything except get a Democratic senator to confirm your ass — but you are in the White House. Show a little decorum.
You’d be the only one doing so in what’s left of that building.
