@CalMeacham & @Buck_Godot, your posts made me very happy. I will have endless (eternal?) enjoyment imagining those punishments… 🙂 “Hell’s own toilet”… what lyricism! 🔥 🚽 🔥 ---

In the absence of like, or LOL, or any other commentary emojis: the next best thing with Cal and Buck’s posts is to copy them and post them on Facebook. 🙂 ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > The existence of Trump does pose a philosophical problem for those theologians supporting the idea of ironic punishment in the afterlife. “He’s nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! _Hanging’s_ too good for him. _Burning’s_ too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and _buried alive_!” ---

The National Archives realized _months ago_ that they were missing key documents from the Trump Administration. Trump’s team finally turned over the documents only after the Archives threatened to go to Congress and the DOJ if the documents weren’t turned over immediately. [https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/national-archives-threat-trump-document-turnover](https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/national-archives-threat-trump-document-turnover) According to the Archives, there are documents they want that are still in Trump’s possession. Also the House Oversight Committee is opening an investigation into Trump’s handling of Presidential records. ---

I get a fair amount of spam from Trump supporting people(?) and usually just move them to the trash. I did open the most recent (yesterday) one. I thought it was a scam but it _was_ signed by Junior and it _does_ say “Official”. But its already the next day, so I missed out. Darn! I guess I’ll never realize the benefits of being an MVP Club member. Here it is: Friend, **Your Trump MVP Club invitation is waiting.** _My father asked why you haven’t accepted?_ He’s giving you one last chance. \*\*[Please contribute ANY AMOUNT by 11:59 PM TONIGHT and you’ll automatically become an Official 2022 Trump MVP. \>\>] ---

It does make me wonder: if Trump simply said, “this is a fundraiser whose proceeds would go to my personal use,” how much, if at all, would his haul be reduced? ---
