Now, I hope we at least all agree that the official story shared by the Trump administration or Trump himself (they don't seem to agree) has very little chance of representing the truth of the matter.
Good point. I read an article once that said Trump occasionally makes exaggerations and aspirational statements, and, unlike me, he occasionally veers toward sarcasm, so maybe it wouldn't be a fruitless exercise to examine whether his latest pronouncements fall into one of those categories before we conclude he just hasn't gotten around to reading his presidential briefings in a week or so. Or we could could just flip a coin: heads, he's lying; tails, he's an idiot. I am personally in favor of the coin toss; it is how we usually solve our most pressing national problems like who is going to kick off and who is going to receive. I heard that now that he is a senator, the old washed up college football coach is going to suggest a coin toss whenever there is a tie in the Senate, so they don't have to drag the vice president down to the capitol in his pajamas.
In light of the political doings over the past couple of days, I am going to e-mail my senators and remind them that if they worked during the day, they wouldn't have to stay up all night negotiating and voting. Sometimes when people are in the heat of battle, they overlook the obvious stuff. Not that, in this case, they were negotiating; they were just walking back and forth to and from their colleagues offices to find out who had the best Christmas candy in a dish by the door. It was how they were keeping themselves awake. Sure beats pinching yourself. One guy had a big stack of full size Snickers bars, so everyone decided to vote for his idea. Most of them didn't have a clue what the words Federal Reserve lending policy actually mean, but if this guy was smart enough to put out full size Snickers bars to get their vote, maybe he was an expert on Federal Reserve lending policy too.
Remember old Mitt Romney? Who has a first name like that? Anyway, he lost his presidential bid in 2012 against Obama, so now has the runner-up prize of being one of the senators from Utah, where polygamy used to be legal, but isn't any more, at least not officially. Anyway, he is a Republican. You probably gathered that because I said he lost to Obama, and most people know that Obama is a Democrat who was born in Kenya. So old Mitt boy occasionally comes out of his Trump trance, and votes with the Democrats on stuff like impeachment, unlike Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, who leads you to believe she might vote with the Democrats so she can get a spot on commie/lib news shows, but always chickens out at the last minute. Now where was I? Oh, Mitt Romney. Well, he is a pretty perceptive guy, so a reporter from The Hill, which I don't know if they are a commie/lib new source or not because they seem to be all over the place, was interviewing him, and when he got through and wrote his article he needed a title for it so he came up with this: "Romney: Trump has a 'blind spot' when it comes to Russia". That Mitt Romney is the master of understatement, no doubt about it. Or maybe the reporter was Rip Van Winkle, and this was his first story after waking up from a four year nap. Many people say he, the reporter I mean, is angling for a job as editor of the No Shit Sherlock Gazette.
So while that reporter was polishing up his article, another reporter, this time from The Guardian, which may or may not be a real newspaper in the UK, because they sure don't do as many stories on Harry and Meghan as the Express, got in for an interview with Mitt Romney on the subject of the election, and Trump's efforts to prevent Biden from fraudulently assuming the mantle of Commander in Chief, and to right the most villainous wrong in the history of mankind except, of course, Eve offering Adam a taste of her apple, which I am pretty sure was a euphemism for something else because she wasn't wearing any clothes. They tell you in Sunday school that the apple represents knowledge, but they never really go into what kind of knowledge, and besides you can't believe everything they tell you in Sunday school. Have you actually heard them try to explain the Trinity? Well, they, I mean Mitt and the reporter, not Adam and Eve, had a nice chat and went over all three sides of the issue, the three sides being Republican, Democratic, and Just Shoot Me, and the reporter finishes up the article and comes up with this title: "Trump attempt to overturn election is 'nutty and loopy', Romney says". Kind of makes you wonder if he thought he was interviewing Mitt Romney, but it was really Mr. Rogers.
