Day 1111 – Drugs? At the White House with Trump?

Friday, February 2, 2024

So much garbage has been thrown up that this teeny tiny story didn’t make much of a dent.

It seems that the White House under Donald Trump was an open drug store dispensing Class II drugs to anyone who wandered into the pharmacy. Pills were kept in bottles and it seemed to be “help yourself.” There was no pharmacist. Records are sketchy. That means hand written and sloppy, if at all. 

Did they follow standard rules and regulations? What do you think? Hell no. (I guess rules are for losers. I don’t know.)

They ordered name brand at greater expense  instead of generics like “the rules” say. Rules are for Suckers. Part of the Administrative State.

Schedule II drugs like morphine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, and oxycodone are supposed to be kept seperate from other drugs. I’m guessing maybe under lock and key? Did they do that? Hell no. 

You want it. You take it. “helping anybody who needs help to get the mission done,” was the way it was stated to investigators. Translation: anyone and everyone, regardles of whether they were supposed to have access. Access? What access? Just go to the door marked “pharmacy,” take what you want. The bottles are all labeled.

Can you imagine if …

nevermind.

In other news:

Happy February.

This will be a busy month for the Republican front runner. He has so many court cases that some things will be going on simulatneously in different courtrooms on the same day. (I guess the last part is redundant?)

One thing that will be super interesting to wait for is the decision by the Supreme Court on whether the orange one is disqualified from running.

An amicus brief was filed by retired judge Michael Luttig. He’s been touted on news shows as a very conservative judge. What does he say about Trump runnng again for office? Trump can’t. He is forbidden by the Constitution. Period. Full Stop.

Is there an off ramp? No. And in his brief he uses some of the words of the current Supreme Court justices. Hopefully not the ones Gorsuch plagerized. It will be interesting to see what happens. By that I mean, “How will these conservative originalist justices wiggle out of this one?”

In other news: Amy Coney Barrett’s dad is in the news. The cult he is in is trying to squash reports about sexual abuse of children. Why squash it? Oh, well ya see, it may involve some father daughter stuff and her dad is mentioned front and center. Gee, did that not come out at her confirmation? No, but plenty of other weird stuff did.

Meanwhile the Biden economy is setting new records for the swiftest recovery ever and the U.S. economy is better than any other economy in the world. No wonder the right wing has switched to bitching about the border.

Speaking of Swift, the NFL has released (or someone has) about the economic effect Taylor Swift has on the Kansas City Chiefs merch and audience size. I believe the number was $350M and the largest audiences ever for a non-Super Bowl game.  And now we have conspiracy theories about her and Kelce and Biden and the Dems. Apparently, according to these allegations The Chiefs wouldn’t even be in the Super Bowl if it wasn’t for the 34 year old pop singer. Pretty impressive. Oh yeah, the Chiefs were in five Super Bowls: 1, 4, 54, 55, and 57. They lost 2 of the 5.

And I gotta tell ya, Taylor was responsible for all of it.

Who can forget her in the box in 1967 (22 years before she was born.)? (Did they have boxes back then? I don’t think so.) At halftime the score was tied 10-10. Then Vince Lombardi and the Pack showed the AFC champs how to play football. In the second half of that game, the Pack took the Chiefs to school.  (“Hey sorry guys we ran an off tackle play to the right side and you didn’t really stop us. We’re going to run the same play again, okay? Oh man, sorry. You guys suck.”) That game ended with Len Dawson, the Chiefs QB, getting sacked. Score 35-10.

Now. Things are different. They have Tay-Tay! 

Oh yeah, they also have this guy Mahomes. Some consider him to be one of the greatest QBs of all time.

And they have Tay-Tay’s boyfriend. What’s his name? #87. And he’s considered one of the best wide recievers of all time.

But do they really need them? They have Tay-Tay! Isn’t having one of the most famous, powerful woman on the planet sitting in a box enough? I think the Chiefs should invite Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott to sit in the box with her. I’d like to see them get down on bended knee and kiss the ring, and then read we can their lips, “I love you Taylor!”

Then throw them out of the box and let them sit atop the press booth where the -27 wind whips across at 55 mph coming off the plains …

Oh wait, the game is being played in Las Vegas? That’s okay those two can watch the game from the top of Arrowhead Stadium. What about kissing the ring? have you heard of Zoom? They can press their lips to the screen. Hope their tongues get froozen to the …

So mean. 

FYI:

Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl history

• Super Bowl 57 (2022 NFL season): Defeated Philadelphia Eagles 38-35.
• Super Bowl 55 (2020): Lost to Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-9.   (Tom Brady was MVP)
• Super Bowl 54 (2019): Defeated San Francisco 49ers 31-20.
• Super Bowl 4 (1969): Defeated Minnesota Vikings 23-7.

One last thought, what if Taylor starts a movement of her fans to have voter registration parties in every city in the U.S. where she has performed? What if she expands it to every state? What if she promises to drop in on some of the parties? Maybe, have a bunch at the same time and simulcast it? It could be like a marathon fund raiser except these would be voters registered. “There’s a party in Philadelphia and they’ve registered 20,135! But Boston has done 31,124! New York? How say you? What 32, 395! Whoa. We are waiting for the L.A. party to kick off…”
