    DONALD & THE HYDRA

    The second labor of Heracles involved the Hydra.
    Heracles was directed by the evil king to kill the Hydra as his
    second labor.
    This was a monster who makes these oil pipelines look like nothing special.
    This Hydra had nine heads and every time Our Hero attacked and destroyed one
    of these heads, two new heads would grow.
    Kind of like the Taliban or ISIS or the Republican Party in Wisconsin.
    So Heracles figured out that cutting off one head only multiplied his
    problems, and so he figured out how to kill the damn thing all at once.
    (With fire and a sickle or a sword or just damnable meanness?)

    Our Wondrous Leader had attempted for the last three years actually,
    to kill the Hydra Press.
    So the NYT arises to attack our Esteemed Leader.
    And our Esteemed Heracles responds with truths and nothing but the truths.
    And what happens?
    We lose the NYT but the Washington Post and Dagblog keep on keepin on.
    (Just kidding, the NYT will be here forever, I hope)
    The Donald is attacked by 9 headed female hydras; spewing lies concerning his pussy-grabs.
    Yet everytime our Esteemed Leader proves a 'victim' wrong, two appear in her place.
    And everytime T-Rump discovers another staffer attempting to libel or slander him, he
    destroys that staffer.
    BUT TWO NEW MOLE STAFFERS ARISE FROM THE DUST?
    And everytime another shrink shows up attempting to prove that Donald is nuts?
    Two new shrinks show up pointing to his nuts?
    OH THE HYDRA
    We used to think that the Taliban or Isis or Hesbula or whatever show up, one head is
    cut off and two heads appear.
    But what is a mother to do?
     
    Well Donald just does what he always does?
     
    CRY LIKE THE BABY HE IS.
    So let us all vow to give Trump head; all at one time.
    Nobody is higher than this asshole!

    Hi Missy!

    Like I told Peracles sometime ago, nobody reads me since I became a Scientologist. hahahahah

    We hit this cold spell up here in the Great White North.

    Blizzard in late October and December was below zero...

    Today or tonight it is raining!  Tomorrow we will experience ice; ice everywhere.

    I thought about an old song:

    We're just giving you space while we figure out whether we're suppressives or not.
