Of late, the Mueller investigation has requisitioned most of the forms required for proper warrants. ---

Question: is President PantsOnHead going to arm-wrestle Queen Elizabeth when it comes time to shake her hand? I’d love to see him try it and have Her Majesty use a throw on him that sends him to the floor. She’s got plenty of people around her who could teach her. Oooooo that would be sweet. ---

She’s got plenty of people around her who could teach her. Oooooo that would be sweet. Maybe they can have a good old Western gunfight. Too bad for Trump, I hear the Queen is still an excellent shot. She didn’t chicken out of WW2 for bone spurs. She worked as a mechanic and also drove trucks. ---

Big anti-Trump protests planned for London today. At last he’ll be able to claim he’s drawn bigger crowds than Obama. ---

She’s got plenty of people around her who could teach her. Oooooo that would be sweet. I’m still firmly of the opinion he’ll try his big man act on the Queen and one of the Princes will deck him. Or he’ll say some shit about the newest Princess and one of the Princes will deck him. Or one of the Princes will remember the shit he talked about their mother and deck him. Pretty much every fantasy of this trip ends with Trump crying about a bloody nose while at least one member of the royal family stands over him yelling, “Get up and take it, you wanker!” ---

My prediction is he will be gracious and a bit overawed by people who were actually bred to rule a country, saying something along the lines of, with no irony or sense of history whatsoever, “what we need in America is a ruler like you.” ---

If you do not give in to our demands of $1,000,000,000 Amerikan dollars, in small, non-sequential bills, by Friday afternoon, 5pm New York time, we will have no recourse but to give him back to you.
