Numb. 1766 Cold Case

Numb. 1630 Trompe's Offal Orifice Undress

The BYSTANDER did not watch. 

Guardian mentions lies.  Inflation at a 48-year high.

WSJ did not catch that.

Their guy mebbe dozed off?

Is failure to report a lie a lie?

$1776 henceforth the cost per soldier for obeying illegal orders? 

Some of the worst Roman emperors regularly used state funds to buy legionnaires' loyalty.

Or is it just the modern equivalent — what with inflation, which is, of course, going to dip once the Fed is on board — of 30 pieces of silver?

WSJ also did an editorial on GOP House members voting with Democrats to force a vote on continuing emergency ACA subsidies.

WSJ disapproved.

“Stand by your man" is what WSJ advises.

Let Donald be Donald. 

Like Ghislaine let Jeffrey be Jeffrey.

Why vote with Democrats?

Ever?

Some nonsense about constituent interests?

Balderdash.

Trompe's bizarre Caligula-like behavior? 

Predecessors portraits with his personal assessments? 

Donald being Donald. 

Warrior bonuses? 

Mebbe he read it in Roman Emperor For Dummies? 

East Wing? 

Need a temple to worship him. Even after he’s added to Rushmore. Who needs to go to North Nowhere. 

The Arc (DUH!) Trompe? 

His kingdom for a horse to appoint to the Senate.

Would, The BYSTANDER wonders, WSJ stand by a corporation head behaving like this?

But as Julie sings of Billy in Carousel:

“What's the use of wond'rin'

if he's good or if he's bad?

Or if you like the way he wears his [MAGA] hat?

Oh, what's the use of wond'rin'

if he's good or if he's bad?

He’s your feller and you love him—

That’s all there is to that.

Common sense may tell you

that the endin’ will be sad

and now’s the time to break and run away.

But what’s the use of wond’rin’

if the endin’ will be sad?

He’s your feller and you love him—

there’s nothin’ more to say."

And if you are a Republican, there really isn’t.

Numb. 1490 Double Play: Trompe To Maxwell To Epstein And Questions Undressed

Dateline Florida

SUNSHINE AND LOVE:

MIRED-AL-LAYGO HIRES
TEENS FOR DON'S CLUB

Nubile high schoolers not dressed in burqas.

Male paunches drool over hard workers. 

Epstein tells Maxwell, “Lure them away.

Promise ‘tips’, offer ‘trips’, say ‘better pay’."

Change of location. (If not profession.)

Does no one wonder where dads and moms are?

Dateline Florida

SUNSHINE AND LOVE:
WHY DID DON HIRE

TEENS FOR HIS CLUB

An open question. I make no suggestions.

Numb. 1479 For The Epsteinth Time

CLIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES (7/21/2025)

GOOGLE AI Overview (edited for length)

[H]eadline … [is] likely a satirical take on:

• Donald Trump's alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein and the Epstein sex trafficking ring … [suggesting] a scenario where the Republican party … acknowledges his potential awareness of Epstein's activities.

• Political maneuvering and public perception. The phrase about "Trompe" being a "Dem" at the time before becoming a "Reborn Republican" satirizes the shifting political alignments and the attempts to reframe past associations. 

• Ghislaine Maxwell's role in the Epstein case. The mention of "Maxwell Calls Letter 'Big Fake', Receives A Backdated Pardon Plus A UGE Undisclosed Sum" alludes to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate, and sarcastically suggests a corrupt outcome related to her legal situation, implying a potential cover-up or unfair advantage.
