It makes me so sad 

how that guy met his fate.

Did Jared's pal order it?

It's a debate.

Who to believe?

Who is to say?

His Royal Highness

or @failedCIA?

Anyway, seems to me,
at end of day,
he was asking for it
when he got in the way.

He was fake news,
this Islamist.
Jeff Bozos' Amazon's
opinion impostor.
WaPo's Arab terrorist.

The Muslim Brotherhood's

own Jim Acosta.

I am “sad” he's dead,
but I look ahead
to weapon sales
and important details
of my cunning plan
to mess with Iran
with Saudi proxy.
Goddamn, I'm foxy!

No. 312.2: EXTRA! Easier To Get Forgiveness Than Permission?

Dear Vlad,

If I have to bomb Syria back to the Stone Age

to keep Mueller and Comey off the front page

I hope and pray that you'll understand

and this won't interfere with your overall plan

for reconfiguring the geopolitical landscape

and please, please erase the you-know-what tape.

 

As ever,

Donnie

No. 312.1: EXTRA! What Donnie Told Comey (a dramatization)

In a phone call, Trump obsessed about the allegation he consorted with prostitutes in Moscow during Miss Universe in 2013: “I’m a germaphobe. There’s no way I would let people pee on each other around me.” 

— Guardian: The key points from James Comey's explosive book

A. number one:

pee-pee thing

has to be probed

because, you know,

I'm a germaphobe

so, therefore,

story cannot be true.

To prove it isn't

I'm counting on you.

That's me complete,

a germaphobe!,

like “The Chin”*

on the street mumbling 

and stumbling

in his bathrobe

for cops to see

he could not be

a Mafia boss

what with his mind

being long ago lost.

Vouched for (at least)

by his brother the priest

(I wonder where I

can get one of those?)

*For the better part of 30 years, [Vincent (“The Chin”)] Gigante feigned insanity in an effort to throw law enforcement off his trail. Dubbed "The Oddfather" and "The Enigma in the Bathrobe" by the press, Gigante often wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself, in what Gigante later admitted was an elaborate act to avoid prosecution.

Gigante's nickname, "The Chin", derived from his mother's use of the Italian pronunciation of his given name, Vincenzo (Vin-CHEN-zo). He had four brothers, Mario (born November 4, 1923), Pasquale A. Gigante (October 18, 1921 - January 7, 1983) and Ralph, who followed him into a life of organized crime before passing away in 1994. His last brother Louis Gigante became an ordained Roman Catholic priest at St. Athanasius Church in the South Bronx and city councilman. — Wikipedia
