Secret Conclave of the Deep State. Open Bar!
Conclave of the Deep State, January 5, 2018
Barack Obama, President of the Deep State and Still President in Our Hearts.
Undisclosed location (Ok, it was a party room at Chuck E. Cheese.)
Transcript from secret recording device hidden in Barack Obama’s giant teeth:
Welp, The Russians thing blew up in our faces. The “Racist!” thing is kaput since black unemployment is down. The “he has no idea what he’s doing” thing doesn’t look too good since the Dow Jones Industrial Average has set 71 new records at the closing bell in 2017 alone. This one really fries me since every time I opened my mouth, the market took a dive. And worst of all, illegal border crossings are down. If we don’t act soon, there go millions of Democrat votes right down the drain and back into that [expletive]-hole Mexico. Ideas? Anyone?
Yes, Speaker … I mean ex-Speaker Pelosi? Ah, yes, I see where you’re going with this. Mental and/or physical impairment leading to removal from office as per the 25th Amendment. Okay, Lindsay Graham — where is he? Ah, there you are, Senator. Please go over that 25th Amendment thing with a fine-toothed comb and get the word out to our friends in the media …. what’s that? They’re all right here in the room? Ok, great. Oh hey, Anderson Cooper! And great to see you, Scott Pelley and Andrea Mitchell! Way to help the Resistance! Right on!
Back to Ms. Pelosi’s excellent idea. Andrea, you’re in charge of the White House press corps. My right-hand man, Jeff Flake, will be giving you the list of questions that you’ll feed to them for the press conference. Jeff, be sure to have one of them ask if he has dentures. And, let’s see now, George Will? Where are you, buddy? Ah, there you are. I want you to find a pile of psychiatrists and psychologists who are on the Right Side of History to go on every news show and pronounce Trump mentally unstable and unfit for office, and who cares if they’ve never even been in the same room with him.
Maxine Waters, your assignment is to shut up and stay away from cameras until I say otherwise.
Will someone please get Joe out of the bouncy-ball cage and get him in here. And ignore that pounding on the door. It’s Hillary and Debbie Wasserman Schultz trying to get in. I don’t know how they found out about this meeting, but whoever blabbed is getting one week of Michelle’s school lunches as a penalty.
Ok, good meeting, everyone. The bar is open! Now get out there and Make a Difference! Keep the faith, baby. Joe, get over here and put that ball down.
Too close to the truth for comfort. Fortunately, I can handle the truth. Not everyone can.
My lady has a pretty good head on the top of those knee-weakening shoulders ….
And DO NOT forget to take you meds………
Well, it RINGS true, even if there are provable falsehoods in it. For instance, we know Hill would use a Bazooka to get into that room.
Yes, and an open bar at Chuck E. Cheese? Bold choice. Loved it.
Joe Biden chose it.
Are you saying it is notionally accurate? You could write for the NYT.
Oh good grief.
Exact terminology is important. Disgruntled former CIA agent Kevin Shipp:
It’s a big XYZ deal.
Do they serve shots of ‘Wit (cheese wiz) at Chuck E. Cheese?
Brava, RA!
Maxine and that other rep who wears the glittery plastic cowboy hats should stage a tile bout with Diamond and Silk…
hahaha! I’d love to see that. And thank you!
This was so good, lifted my spirits up. Thank you RA.
Thanks, Kay. Small repayment for the number of times you’ve lifted mine. @kayofmt
I have been ruminating on the Chuck E. Cheese thing – maybe we could cajole them all into playing in the MRSA infested ball pit. Creative reasons welcome as to why this would be Trump’s fault.
MRSA wouldn’t be an issue if HE hadn’t signed the tax bill relieving all those billionaires of tax liability. That 1% should be buying Clorox based cleaner for all of us….
Hey – Comey’s wondering what it takes to get an invite to one of these confabs.
I only wish this was all parody…..I want to know where Maxine buys her hats. Whoops – I was confusing her with the other mouthpiece for constructive Democratic solutions –
That is very well spoken.
Except for having me have to think about Obama, the whole shabang was a lot of fun. Thank you!
You mean simpering, idiotic tweets weren’t what it takes?
Oh.
“Sincerely”,
James Comey
Hilarious. Writer and artist and model — triple threat, RA. Do you dance, too?
Haha! Thank you, @larrykoler Unfortunately, I’m a klutz. I did take ballet lessons, but it never took.
Since this is on the front page I sent the URL to MLH and a couple of others. I get the giggles every time I re-read this.
