Friday: Gatetway to Chaos!
It’s getting a little cool for Trump to keep playing golf in Virginia—if that’s what he really does when he’s there these days. Pretty soon they’ll have to relocate… whatever it is that bruises his hands every weekend down to Mar-A-Lago. Trump likes his golf toasty, I think. But there’s probably still a week or two left in Virginia before he needs a sweater.
I believe he’s also scheduled for his… second “annual” physical of the year, today. So we’ll see how much opportunity he has for unsupervised press blather this weekend. Maybe the doctors will advise him to cut down, in the interest of his long-term (or “long-term”) health. No one on his staff ever will!
Today’s countdown numbers:
- It’s Day 10 of the shutdown. Sorry, we’re still closed!
- 1,198 days remaining in Trump’s legal term of office
- 389 days until the midterm elections, if we have them
- 450 days—if we have those elections—until we seat that new Congress.
Our random country generator says, today’s an unlucky day for: Comoros!
Sticking with an island theme for the end of the week!
And this may be the first of our Invasion Bingo countries I can’t knock Trump for probably not knowing about, because… well, you know.
And if you do know, well, congratulations! Comoros is an archipeligo off the East coast of Africa, between Mozambique and Madagascar. And yes, that’s another call out for Eric Trump’s favorite movie!
Can’t think of any real reason, obviously, why Trump might threaten to invade. Except maybe worry that Madagascar’s popular uprising would spread there. But first, he’d have to know there was a country there.
Ha ha! Oh, well. That’s Our Trump!™
