I started to get a bit more meta with the writing, not being constrained by having to construct a conversation out Donald’s own words was rather freeing. The Hat really started to let his freak flag fly.

It begins, the new chapter.
Will we be reading it on the week ends?
Inquiring minds and all…
Your Trump Taj Mahal trivia. In HS I was a floating bank teller. One of the branches I worked was Brigantine right across the bridge was Atlantic City and the Taj.
Employees would come to cash paychecks over their lunch. First thing was they were purple. The only commercial purple check I’ve ever seen. Second thing was the signatory was Ivanka Trump. Third thing is they frequently bounced. They were the only employer payroll check that we wouldn’t cash for customers without the same amount of cash in their account and we held the funds against it.
The Don fucked every small business he could when he was in AC, but made more than a few quite wealthy.
This was why I was so anti-Trump at the beginning and most of the way through. I kept saying, “If a man will cheat WITH you, he will cheat ON you,” vis a vis any and all campaign promises.
Trump was unserious when he first started making noises to run in 2016 because he’d been saying he was going to run for president since 1988. I totally didn’t take him seriously, and then I was as surprised as he was when he started gaining traction.
But he did a better job than I expected, and then there were the Biden years and I thought, “Fuck it, don’t care.”
I’m expecting the deficit/debt to really soar this time round. Catching up on Biden’s portion plus Trump and drunken sailors have a lot in common. The Demos have no reason to cooperate and will be up to their elbows in fiscal mischief.
Trump’s bringing back Lighthizer and the other guy that loves tariffs. I’m practicing bending over so I won’t be totally unprepared.
The thing is as others commented here. He genuinely likes common people.
If you aren’t trying to do business with him he was honestly good to people.
“Trump and drunken sailors have a lot in common”
Not a valid comparison: sailors are spending their money; Trump and D.C. is spending other peoples’ money.
I personally knew people the OMB screwed over in the 80’s. One of the big reasons why I didn’t vote for him in the 2016 primary. That I voted for him in all three presidential races gives you an idea what I thought of his opponents. I also thought that the governmental bureaucracy would be a check on his worst instincts. I didn’t know then what I know now about DC bureaucracy.
And I agree with Mojeaux, he did a far better job than I would have suspected, and that despite being under investigation his entire time in office, being unable to put people where he wanted them due to Senatorial obstruction, and being effectively unable to fire anyone after what happened when he dumped blackmailer Comey.
Today in tales from the crypt, 91-year-old woman has a little discomfort after mowing the lawn. *life goals*
I wonder if she can run a snow blower? It’s sort of like a lawn mower and self propelled.
I can’t wait for new ones.
Pitter patter….
You’re gonna be a grandpa? Well, if so, Congrats.
lol. No.
Well, my daughter did just get married a few weeks ago, so only a matter of time.
I was referring to new episodes of Hat und Hair.
Pitter patter, let’s get at’er
Hey now Mike, don’t go all floppy headed Canuck on us.
I am closer to Winnipeg than Fargo, eh. I like mayo on my fries and think poutine is pretty damn delicious. I also love the Mike Plume Band and Big Sugar. And The Red Green Show was fan-fucking-tastic.
Uh-oh.
I understand… I lived in Buffalo long enough to be an honorary Canadian myself.
To wit… I enjoy the Canadianest band ever.
Thanks, Rhy. I don’t recall ever running across those guys. I’m going to check them out more. Very similar to the Tragically Hip. Love those guys.
I also love the Mike Plume Band and Big Sugar.
You know what other band is Canadian, eh?
I never got into them despite the radio playing them constantly.
@ Putrid; Yup! The Guess Who, BTO, April Wine, Steppenwolf, Three Days Grace, Honeymoon Suite, Aldo Nova, Theory of a Dead Man, Nickelback, Anvil, Thousand Foot Crutch.
Pretty sure that covers any worth mentioning.
Mr. MikeS, Gordon Lightfoot waves hi from the Edmond Fitzgerald.
I was thinking of Voivod.
But I suppose you’re right. There really aren’t any other Canadian bands that should be mentioned in the same sentence as Nickelback.
*scoff*
I have my own long list I won’t bore anyone with.
Aloysious; Yes. Gordon is good. I was thinning more of rock bands. There’re many other good ones in other genres, like Lightfoot. Off the top of my head; Stompin’ Tom Conners, Fred Eaglesmith, Corb Lund.
Rhy; Don’t rush to any conclusions about the sincerity of my list.
Big Sugar is good stuff Mike
@Timeloose 🤘🏻🍁
I believe you meant to say Chiliwhack

MikeS:
Hate to burst your bubble, but even though Justin has dragged Canada to its lowest depths ever, they still aren’t going to let NoDaks become honorary Canadians.
Working on Next weeks episode. I’ll just say, there has been an eclectic group at Mar A Lago recently…and they all have headwear…
DARK MAGA!
Will you do Mika’s hair? Lee Press On Hair!
lol Love the twix-pupils
This op-ed brought a tear to my eye

Now let’s see if they execute.
Just bringing them back to DC 5 days a week instead of WAH warms my heart.
I hate everybody.
It’s a dickhead move, especially after 4 years of it. No different than rubber rooms and fucking with people to get them to quit rather than paying out owed severance or following employer established policies for force reductions.
That is beautiful. I may send in a resume.
Godspeed you crazy emperors.
Missing MAGA hats and bleach. But…
Perhaps the next Jusse Smollet?
The parents definitely sound like they’re fishing for a check.
A few things jump out…
“He was diagnosed with a neck contusion, which is caused by blood trauma to the neck.”
AKA, bruising
‘My son did tell me that they little boy told him, ‘I’m gonna show you how I did people back in the day,” the mother said.
Really? A 4th grader said that?
‘The student was not able to free themselves and the other student involved was also not able to help them.
“themselves”? Himself you insufferable twats.
‘I want to know why is a fourth grader in the same bathroom as a second grader? Most schools have them divided. I feel this is very unacceptable,’ she said.
Because it’s an elementary school? Are there schools so large that a 4th grader and 2nd grader wouldn’t use the same bathroom?
2nd graders aren’t racists unless they are taught to be.
Nor 4th graders.
And yes, there is no reason to separate them. Ridiculous nonsense.
Anybody familiar with Ting? Our homeowners’ is with State Farm and they are offering a free device and free subscription. I want to jump on it, but the skeptic in me wonders if they’re trying to spy on me while simultaneously giving me brain cancer.
I am with State Farm too, and they sent me info on it, but I just ignored it. They did cut the wife’s car insurance down thought, that was nice.
Read this. It includes one ex employee.

It’s arc fault detection on one leg. It’s interesting, but sounds like it could send you on a heck of a goose chase. But it would seem the cost makes the prevention worth it for a carrier.
As a paranoid libertarian and an insurance person I’m neutral on it.
I almost stopped reading the ex-employee when he threw out “toxic”. Soooo fucking tired of Gen Z and Y bitching about “toxic” work environments.
Anyway….it’s free and I am comfortable doing the detective work on my electrical system should it detect anything, so I think I’ll bite. Maybe I’ll even get a discount on my premium.
My paranoid side has been won over by my frugal and tech-nerdy sides.
I can say that past experience with monitoring devices, they get sensitive and falsely trigger over time. The vehicle monitors, for example, will indicate sharp deceleration and potential accidents when no accident has occurred. This happened in a chevy pickup I was driving, so no, it was not on a track or driving crazy. I can see the same thing happening with this concept.
Other than apparently stealing their name from my telephone provider? Nope.
LOL. When I first searched for it that was the first hit I got and I got momentarily confused.
Legit LOL.

Same 😀
Oh nice
LOL. Troll level: Elite
I dunno. Stopped clocks are right twice a day, and Putin is apparently locking down his country – no entry visa, for instance.

I think at this point I would not put it past Joe’s handlers to stick Donald with a nuclear war out of spite.
Spite or incompetence, end is the same.
Almost rhy. They are angry at the voters. We are the target of their ire. If they are going to be out of power they want to leave mountains of charred bones.
Hey, Glib Fam. I’m just driving by to apologize for another AWOL on my article yesterday.
Best laid plans (again) of Mice and Me…etc.
I’m in Tucson (Hey RC!) at the moment for oral argument on a govt MTD. Got in yesterday, had to drive to meet client for dinner, argument today, and I’m gone tomorrow. So quick turnaround; distances and obligations just overtook my time.
I’m going to put the next batch of mishap stories in the hopper so at least TPTB have the content and I will do everything possible to be around for next time one posts, but it’s a crazy time for me professionally with the election results and ongoing lawsuits. The new admin and newly elected officials are all promising relief for those fired over the vax mandate, so I’m finding myself increasingly having to play with staffers on a proposed legislative fix my partners and I wrote that is floating around Team Red’s leadership.
Anyway, well-wishes to all. The fight goes on.
