As part of my commitment to bringing you only the best and deepest analysis of the political moment, here is a breaking exclusive story. It’s still developing but here’s what we know so far.
The intrepid Coop Scoop investigative team has secured this graphic directly from sources inside Trumpland.
This image is the leading back-up candidate that Trump has ready to go if for some reason the former wrestler, the Fox News anchor with the White Nationalist tattoos and the sexual assault record, the quack doctor selling do-nothing supplements, the non-doctor with a brain worm or the Syrian asset who spent some time on the TSA watchlist for some unknown reason don’t get confirmed, he’s got the bird ready to replace them.
We learn that some close to Trump, however, are concerned that if he deploys this bird to replace a proposed cabinet member who goes down, she might be overqualified and would outshine the remaining nominees still in play. We have not yet learned her name but the same sources confirm she has a clean record on sexual attacks, has never chummed around with Bashar Assad and has no neo-Nazi tattoos. She has been fully vaccinated against bird flu. And this whistle clean history has given Trump some second thoughts but he he has said to be resigned as there ate slim pickings for other replacements.
Her age and educational status have yet to be confirmed, but the Trumpland sources claim she passed a basic cognitive test and actually outscored the other nominees. She has no work experience whatsoever except for running from a chopping block. This features ha reportedly pleased the president-elect. More details as they develop.
Meanwhile, barring any Really Big News, I will be doing only one post this week probably Monday or Tuesday, and will resume with more frequency after Thanksgiving weekend.
Have a good Turkey day and be grateful that, for the moment, rule of law still prevails. And after you rouse yourself from your tryptophan daze., you will be rested and ready to serve in the fight to roll back MAGA and to defend our basic rights. Hang in there, the guy isn’t Superman, he’s not that smart and he has surrounded himself with quacks, losers and imbeciles. We can and will take him on and don’t be intimidated by his incoherent blather.
By the way, The Coop Scoop is shamelessly ready to accept your subscription/s as we have a whole lot of heavy duty work in front of this year and will be too busy waging war on Christmas, again, to do much celebrating.
And giving someone you know, or better someone you can’t stand, a gift subscription as a holiday present is something that will last a year.
Wasteland Uber Alice ( Who doesn't live here anymore). I'll toast one to your family this holiday.
On the popular culture front I want to urge everyone to see Wicked. I just saw it with my 6 & 8 year old grandkids. I didn’t realize that IT’S ABOUT FASCISM. The Wizard and his allies are caging and oppressing animals while the “wicked witch” of the west from Wizard of Oz fame is resisting him and fighting for animal freedom. She is vilified (and of course eventually killed by an unwitting Dorothy). But it’s a clear allegory of trumpism and fascism and yet I haven’t read any reviews that made this connection, although my grandkids got the point as we discussed it after. Surprise! So watch it—support anti-fascist art!
