Believe me, everybody wants to work in the White House … I could take any position in the White House, and I’ll have a choice of the 10 top people having to do with that position. Everybody wants to be there.”
Will the last one leaving the Oval Trailer please turn out the lights and fumigate it?
Shorter James Schwab: I can’t sell my soul to the devil.
OT I had a dream last night … Cadet Bones Spurs had just stepped from of his limousine on the Otay Mesa to inspect the vanity prototypes of his vanity project when a mega-sound truck began broadcasting.
“Beinvenidos, pendejo!” came the voice of a classic Tijuana radio announcer. “¡Vamos a empezarrrrrrr esta fiesta!” he bellowed, utilizing his most percussive alovear trill. The sound truck then blasted a double-time tribute written especially for the occasion.
“Los Tigres del Norte?” I wondered.
The truck sent its sub-sonic vibrations across the border, disheveling the vanity Prez’s ‘do and making it impossible for anyone within two miles to verbally communicate. Then the music abruptly stopped mid-chorus and a familiar voice said, “We are not going to pay for your fucking wall!”
It was the voice of former Mexican Presidente Vincente Fox. “¡No vamos a pagarrrrr tu jodida parrrrrr-ed!” the radio announcer bellowed as a mighty cheer went up.
The music began again. [Oom-pah oom-pah oom-pah oom-pah]
As the banda played on, hundreds of Trump piñatas attached to clusters of orange balloons with big red neckties began to appear from south of the border. Then, from the Otay Mesa Industrial district to the west, another invasion of Trump piñatas began to waft aloft.
Again the music stopped abruptly. “We are not going to pay for your fucking wall!” said Fox. “¡No vamos a pagarrrrr tu jodida parrrrrr-ed!” the radio announcer boomed. And the banda played on. [Oom-pah oom-pah oom-pah oom-pah]

A guy can dream, can’t he?
In my class today, I will be leading a discussion on theoretical issues raised by research in Artificial Intelligence; chief among those issues is the nature of human consciousness and the fact that we lack the empirical means to detect it even as we all swear up and down that it exists–and that that paradox complicates our discussion of AI, whether it’s possible to build a truly conscious, self-aware machine, and how would we know we had done so (and never mind the question of whether to try and do these things is wise in the first place).
This discussion will actually be easier to follow and make sense of than has so far been the news out of this administration this morning.
I think Harlequin Romances has found its new market segment. And Donnie can be the new Fabio on the covers…
I have commented before that government spokespersons only have their reputation, now and in the future.
It’s nice to see someone who will not sell out for a paycheck. They will find work soon because integrity still matters.
Moose Oh Leenie purge underway!
I don’t remember gagging maggots as part of the Harlequin Romances marketing plan. But then again …. Fabio and all that.
Good managers/leaders work hard to maker sure that they don’t end up in a bubble full of people who will only tell them things that are expected to be pleasing. Republicans, on the other hand.
And remember, this is someone who took the job at ICE in the first place.
Trump scandals, crimes and brazenly unconstitutional actions are lined up like 747s on the runway; all waiting to be revealed at the perfect time to destroy the GOP in the midterms. Trump has no friends and he cranks out a new enemy every day. There must be 50 people who could write books about the rotten Trump administration, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Mueller is planning to hold indictments until just the right moment to derail any GOP campaigns. Mueller knows how criminal and rotten Trump is, so he’s probably trying to save the nation using the “death by a thousand indictments” tactic. We can only hope.
Soon he will sell pictures of his 4.5cm member, with all proceeds going to Inmate 19-304119. (If he were smart he would start advertising his Ramen Noodle stash now; ramen is .25¢ a pop at the commissary; $320 a month can buy a lot of noodles.) He could corner the market … until ….
Yes, it does. Unfortunately, the number of places where it is worth money is dwindling rapidly.
Like virtually all government employees, he wanted to make a difference, and he certainly has now. The doublespeak from Republicans refuses to distinguish between their polemics and those wanting to perform a legitimate job. I suspect this gentleman really does want to both protect immigrants and citizens alike while removing those in the US on the lam.
The road to Trump’s impeachment will be littered with the careers of good civil servants.
To be recorded by Los Bukis or Los Tigres del Norte and released under the title of La Corrida de La Donald, La Nueva Reina del Sur.
His small hands make it seem bigger to himself, forcing him to use both hands.
