The man with the Merde-as touch. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!

[skip fox]

Donald ("The party's never over until I get there!" ) Trump is thinking: "Now just how should I word this last sentence? . . . How about: 'In addition to the above, and in lieu of them if need be, I also and especially pardon myself for all crimes in the past, present, and future, and all crimes I might cause to happen through a third party, even if they involve the most horrendous felonies like filing false tax returns, money laundering, child rape and/or trafficing, treason, terrorism, and mass homicide.'. . . There, that should cover it."

2. I started a thread called something like

"The King Midas of Shit"

Same idea as yours, crept you say it better

Who comes away from interaction w/him w/o being terribly damaged?

Can't wait to see what the future holds for for creepy greasy douche head Eddie Munster billionaire and Kelly Anne

They've "got karma," too, and lots of people say, I'm not saying, it's a bitch

3. Just caught the J Epstein reference!

GFY!! Good for you

That might've gotten more play, as was most surely justified, x cept for the involvement of s certain x president

4. You sound like you've been reading my mail, as they say.

I share a dark and edgy take on all of our current residents.

I'm afraid there's nos9oft landing from this. Remember the feel of kick in the psychological solar-plexus last November? I've never felt it as bad as after election night, but recently, especially when I hear ways he might get rid of Muller and stop the investigation, I've begun to feel the abrupt, brutal nonsense of that blow more and more.

5. Sometimes that hellish feeling is worse, like when I'm literally stopped dead

By the unwanted, intrusive realization that this ignorant conman-iac is fricking PRESident

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Conmaniac

Con-maniac

Conman-iac

Which is best?

New word for the trump psychological lexicon?

[skip fox]

8. As a writer, I think of such things continually.

To my ear the second, "Conman-iac," sounds best and I think its stress on the grifter, then showing that to be pathological with "-iac" gives the joke a rise at the end, toward something of greater significance. (I usually don't articulate such decisions. They are intuitive. But just because they are intuitive doesn't mean they don't have a deep logic working in the background.)

9. How about no hyphen?

Agree w/your conman emphasis

Hope some iteration gains traction

Thx!

10. It might well work without a hyphen.

Never underestimate the intelligence of your readers. (I.e., the readers you would like to have, not mental slugs.)

On edit:

I'll try to push it. It's a smart combination and in the order you (we now) have it, "conmanaic," it ends with the maniac, on a high note as a joke should. Yes, he's a conman, but he's also (more importantly) a maniac.

12. Readersss?

I don' need no steenken readers!

Don't have anyanyway

[skip fox]

13. People read your posts, don't they?

I take my postings very seriously. Not as seriously as my creative work, but . . . Thus, yes, readers.

14. Pence is thinking to himself
