Are Any of My Friends Running For President?

I am not sure why this came to my mind today but it did so I thought I would share it with my good friends here at MMA. No, no, don’t thank me just yet, Best wait to see what I am sharing first.

It seems that the latest, but likely not the last casualty among those acquainted with our “liar in chief” may well be Roger Stone. Now I don’t know a lot about Roger Stone other than that like Herr Trump he always looks like he is reaching into my pockets every time he is talking and looking straight into the camera. My first thought is to grab my wallet to make sure he is not rifling through it. Apparently, he is like Trump in the sense that he has trouble remembering what he said last time about the same subject. But, he is now saying that he believes he will be indicted and, of course, like Trump, he did nothing wrong. Ha, Ha.

Now, we already know about Michael Cohen, another best bud of Trump. He has been cooked over Mueller’s fire until he is well done. We also know that Paul Manafort is cooked but has been left simmering on the stove for a while. Michael Flynn who was a respected military officer at one time is down the tubes as well as several other people. There is also those waiting in the wings to make their appearance on the guilty stage although their images are well tarnished whether they get convicted of anything or not. What do these people and Trumps close family members all have in common? They all jumped on the Trump MAGA Train.

It seems that everyone who has or had any kind of relationship with Donald Trump are now soiled goods. Trump in his self-aggrandizing way has managed to expose the ugly underbelly of New York City’s business people. At least that is the way he is making it look like. I mean, I am sure there are a few decent people left out of the ten million people that live there but damn he paints an ugly picture of that place.

One thing about this gig that the orange-headed monster did not count on though was Washington politics. When one goes to Washington as a public figure one can count on losing all privacy of anything and everything that has ever happened to them in their entire life. Not only that, everyone you know, or have ever known loses all of their privacy as well. I have to wonder if all of those people had any idea that this shit storm was coming at them. This is far worse than Watergate ever dreamed about being.

When Watergate was over I don’t think anyone thought poorly of Nixon’s wife and kids, but that is not the case here. Not only is there a good chance that Don Jr. and Ivanka will get indicted but the son in law as well. It would only serve them right of course. They thought they were going to come in and play “Run the Government” with daddy. Screw that. Only daddy thought this was play time. Of course, he is still screwing up by thinking that running the government of the United States is like running Trump, Inc.

There is a point to my little rant here. I am asking all of my friends if any of them are planning on running for president. That would, of course, include my friends here at MMA. If you are please let me know so I can start distancing myself from you now because, trust me, there are things in my past I do not want to have to testify about. They could flip me like a pancake in 30 seconds or less so do not tell me anything. Can any of you imagine a special counsel and the FBI starting to dig around in every little corner of your life? The Social Security Administration was scary enough when I saw how much THEY knew about my life.

Drinking! Shagging! Living on the edge, always with a large mug, and the world is a good place to be.

If by “exception” you mean a person of unquestioned integrity and pure heart, then yes, I am that. Unfortunately my goodness has led me to ruin.

I almost choked reading this reply when I was drinking my tea Joe. You know hell awaits you for the lying thing 😉 Don’t worry though, if there is such a place I’ll be the greeter at the door handing out the free ice cream and cold beverages.

Because I enjoy a personal relationship with Jesus Christ I have the peace mind knowing I’ll spend eternity in Paradise and will be magically endowed with the ability to play the harp Ms. Jess. As for you young lady, I can put in a good word for you to have your virginity restored so you can service me in the hearafter. We’ll, I mean I, will have my own planet and magic underwear and eternal virility so you and your fellow tramps will have that to look forward to. Unless burning in hell because you doubted my magic underwear sounds better to you. Free will is a gift from God. Now do as I say woman!

Wait what, you’re a Mormon, all this time I’ve been thinking you’re a everyday Baptist/Methodist type Christian and not a magical drawers wearing dude. I think I have my virginity back because since my husband died I haven’t had sex, ……rest of comment deleted because it got into really filthy territory even for me, ayup it was just that bad 🙂

Ha! A Mormon now? Well, there is that whole Mitt Romney thing I guess. By the way, doesn’t that underwear get tight?

Free ice cream? I’ll take that Graham City Junction they serve at our local Handels. I love them.

Since when does having a “past” actually mean anything when running for office? The last republican that was on the presidential ticket that was truly decent was Gerald Ford.

Yeah, but for the Republicans there must be some greed in your heart.

After Donald Trump it probably would not.

You could always find a loophole in the peace treaty ending the Revolution and claim the U.S. for the Crown Neil. Tell trump some bullshit about fake news and caravans of thugs coming and he may well give us to you if you promise to help him open some hotels and gold courses. As well as royal pardons for his family.

I thought about running for president Bill, but I doubt my finances could withstand the rigors of a campaign, not to mention my background 🙂

lol Pretty much the same here Mike. It was a very fleeting thought though. I just had to remember only a few things I have said in the past much less some of my less behaved actions.
