The Profitable Business of Misremembering 2016



For me, the most memorable part of "Donald Trump: The Wrath of Con Men" was when, at the end, Hillary face-grabbed Bones and said "Remember!", before going into the engine room to save Obamacare.

Then, after the election when everyone was very sad, the bagpipes played "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" while Kirk gave a speech about, of all the campaigns he had encountered in his travels, hers was the most (emotional Shatner pause) policy-specific.

Then, as the music swelled, they fired her campaign literature and Pod Save America onto the Genesis Planet and Bones said, "It's not really over, as long as we remember it."

But you know what?  Maybe it didn't happen like that at all.

Maybe it happened like this.
Roger Ailes: You smooth son of a bitch, let me lay it on the line for you, and your boss.  Donald Trump never gets that nomination.  I don't care how many dago, guinea, wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!

Corey Lewandowski:    I'm Polish / French-Canadian

Ailes:  Well let me tell you something my Polack Frog-Eater friend, I'm gonna make so much trouble for you, you won't know what hit you.
Or maybe it didn't happen that way either.

But since everyone else seems to be making a mint by re-imagining the 2016 election to fit their prefab narrative, I see no reason why I can't get in on some of that action.


Behold, a Tip Jar!

you got everything right except the song...'there's got to be a morning after' from the poseidon adventure.

With each Trek episode we "go where no man or woman has gone before".

The Oranges of Con man gives insight to the superior race through inheritance.

Trump is welcomed to run for reelection against HRC in 2020 though she will not be on the ballot.

Let MAGA megamind defend his tenure from inside the GOP deep state.
