   It’s a great summery of Guiliani’s thought patterns. [Do you have any idea how many times I had to click/delete to read the whole cartoon? I am not a WaPo subscriber.] I like Tom Toles.

   Rudy is a completely self serving nutcake. Read Wayne Barrett’s investigative biography Rudy! (2000)–8 years after his definitive book, Trump – The Deals and the Downfall. Both strikingly insightful of these two’s twisted lives. Also, must read Barrett’s Grand Illusion–post 9/11 explosion of the myth of America’s Mayor. The sick leading the sicker.

   Guiliani + Trump = Double Dementia … or should that be Triple Dementia

     Having worked in the past on this issue, I think this is an insult to people with dementia and the families who must care for them. It’s no joke. What Rudy and Individual-1 have done and are doing is about greed and power, pure and simple.

   If Guiliani is America’s Mayor and Trump is America’s President then
   America’s Governor must be Jesse the Body Ventura.

   Put a tent over us folks and stick a fork in us while you’re at it. That “giant sucking” sound has nothing to do with job loss Ross. We are done.

   It is strange that biting satire like this cannot exist in Trumplandia since there is no difference between the joke and the reality.

     There comes a time when satire becomes impossible. That time is now.

       Borowitz is still doing great satire. It looks more and more like the truth.

       Cabinet Warns Trump That Shutting Down Government Would Make It Harder to Steal From
       By Andy Borowitz, The New Yorker
       17 December 18

       In a tense meeting on Monday, leading Cabinet members warned Donald J. Trump that shutting down the federal government would make it exponentially harder for them to steal from.

       Led by his Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, the Cabinet members begged Trump to prevent a government showdown that would bring their brazen spree of pillaging the nation’s coffers to a screeching halt.

       “Mr. President, with the federal government up and running, I was able to take seven trips on military aircraft at a cost of eight hundred thousand dollars,” Mnuchin said. “I implore you, sir: don’t make me fly coach.”

       Trump’s three oldest children, Ivanka, Eric, and Don, Jr., who have piled up impressive taxpayer-funded travel bills of their own, chimed in with an emotional plea to their father. “Daddy, please don’t make us stop plundering government money,” Ivanka said. “Not right before Christmas.”

       The normally taciturn Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Ben Carson, also spoke up, warning that a government shutdown would make it impossible for him to accessorize his thirty-one-thousand-dollar dining-room set by purchasing seven-thousand-dollar place mats. “I’d really like those,” he said.

       According to Kellyanne Conway, the counsellor to the President, the emotional Cabinet meeting had a profound impact on Trump. “For the first time he saw how a government shutdown would hurt people,” Conway said.

   Another theory of the case. Rudy and others (Nunez) could have some liability in the pressure exerted Comey to release that he was investigating Weiner having Clinton emails. What safer place than being the president’s attorney talking to the subhuman Trumpanzee base. Picture the outrage when Mueller or the SD. break into(LOL) his home and cart him away. We know the Justice Department Inspector General was asked to investigate. But there was no word on it in his report either to implicate or exonerate.
