Next to the binders full of women.
Probably the technology the Trump Org used.
Nah, they were big into mimeographs
So, that’s it. They’re all high/brain-damaged from the fumes.
Quite a step up from the cuneiform tablets they were using as recently as 1972.
Trump’s Former Doctor: I Hid Vegetables in Trump’s Food Like He Was a Five-Year-Old
Despite being biologically 73 years old, Donald Trump has the mind of a child. We know this because at many points during his presidency, he’s acted less like the leader of the free world and more like a toddler, from the time he thought he could just buy Greenland (and threw a temper tantrum when he was told that’s not how any of this works) to his obsession with having a “space force” to his complete and utter joy at getting to pretend to drive a big rig on the White House lawn and honk the horn like a real trucker. So, really, it’s not at all surprising to learn from his former doctor Ronny Jackson that in an attempt to get him to eat healthier, the White House staff snuck vegetables into his food like a mother desperate to get her small child to consume something with nutritional value…
There’s mental age, and then there’s physical age…
'Cause they like the way mimeos smell. I remember walking back to the classroom carrying a stack of mimeographed pages fresh off the machine-- my nose planted in them. Xeroxes don’t have any smell. No fun.
That logic seems sound. You have to wonder if this has been done–or if not, why not.
If it hasn’t been done, it needs to be done. If it has been done, we don’t have Need To Know.
True enough about that last. But surely the DOJ and NSA might have a Need to Know, if national security is at stake as well as potential criminal conduct by Mr. Putin’s Best Buddy?
Of course. ‘We The People’ don’t need to know. DoJ and NSA do. If they do know, we don’t need to know that. It’s a little frustrating because I, personally, want to know that the President and his departments are finding out what the man-child divulged to our enemies/adversaries. But I don’t need to know. I only want to.
We want to feel like grownups are in charge and it’s safe to go to sleep.
I remember in elementary school we would get purple-printed copies of pages for class that stank like permanent markers. Apparently those were spirit duplicators, which sounds like Ghostbuster technology.
I used photostats, mimeographs, dittos, and Gestetner offsets and I’m less old than 45. My parent, then I, worked in under-resourced schools. The first Xerox copier I saw in a school was at an international school in the mid-1980’s; very fancy and every copy had to be accounted for, so I mostly typed up ditto masters. When I taught at my next school in the US a year later, teachers were allowed to use the Xerox with supervisor permission, but again, I mostly used dittos and the occasional mimeograph.
If we’re discussing this now, I would hope Biden and Garland and others figured it out many many months ago.

[bolding mine] [because this will be my new epithet… which no one will understand… but I’ll be chortling]
Perhaps Dark Brandon will let us know at some point, say a few weeks after the 2024 Republican convention?
Band name?
Reminds me of a piece of art called “8-Bit Jesus”…
But these days, quirky names work for bands, social media, and start-ups.
…not to mention screen names.
The next time I need a new screen name, it’s going to be: He’sDeadJim.
