Suzie Wiles is trying to save her skin while playing both sides of the coin. She is doing a poor job of it. Well she was hired by Trump, so no surprise. ---

Maybe Venezuela Could also be a pre-Christmas tirade about how the economy is actually humming right along and, even if it wasn’t, it’s not his fault, or maybe he’s involved but it’s really Biden’s fault, and even if that’s not true, just wait a few months for the eleventy gajillion dollars coming in to turn things right around ---

“There will be demonstrations to thank Yam Tits for raising the doll ration to two a year. And only yesterday it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to three dolls a year. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been three dolls.” Thank you for your attention to this matter. ---

He’s announcing that he is resigning due to mental infirmnity. His cabinet and principle advisors will be duking it out in a winner takes all fight to the death in the cage set up on the Reich House lawn. / dripping sarcasm off Actually, since he didn’t thank me for my attention, I’ll ignore the mostly dead telecast. ---

News item: A statue of a black girl (Barbara Rose Johns) will replace one of Robert E Lee at the Capitol. She led a protest against unequal school facilities in Virginia way back in 1951. Each state is allowed two statues of whoever they want to honor.

Or at the minimum, is going to complain on Truth Social. ---

The US is pulling out of the UN and NATO. The UN has 48 hours to find somewhere else to do its useless dithering; what was once its headquarters will become Trump Tower Two. ---

> [@Section\_Maker\_Jupe](#): > > Interesting interview from Susie Wiles The only really surprising thing in that list of “shocking remarks” is the one about Trump having an alcoholic’s personality. The rest is all pretty standard stuff (Elon is eccentric; Vance is political, etc.) Some theorize that the entire incident (Wiles agreeing to an interview and its publication) is a stalking horse to hide One Big Lie: she states at one point that there’s nothing in the Epstein files that could incriminate Donald. The idea is that people will be so dazzled by her “honesty” that they’ll suck down the lie without noticing it. ---

Mad King Donald proclaims that he has declared Venezwayler a terrorist organization and that it is “completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled”, a truly impressive feat considering that it has a 3200-mile land border.
