Larry the Billionaire Episode 38 Into Deep Water


                Larry was visiting the city he grew up in, Cleveland Ohio.  While he was there, he met up with his high school girlfriend who was a nurse at the Cleveland Clinic.  Larry would never bring this up to her but he vividly remembered when Tatiana was contemplating what to pursue in college, she was between being a teacher or nurse.  Larry recommended nurse because of one incident when he was about to make a turn but couldn’t see if there was oncoming cars because of parked cars on the side.  His solution to this was to gun the car around the turn.  As he did, he slammed the break as a car came speeding towards him.  The car passed, in what Larry perceived, as inches from his car.  The experience shook him up so much that he froze.  In the corner of his eye, he could see Tatiana turn to him to scold him but after seeing how shaken up he was, she instead put her hands on his back and soothingly said, “It’s okay Larry, we’re alright”

                What happened next, Larry describes as one of the only times in his life he felt he didn’t have control over his body.  He could feel knots in his shoulder and back unwind as they dropped about two inches.  A calm consumed his body and he made the turn composed.  Reminiscent of Daniel Larusso in Karate Kid when Mr. Miagi cured his shoulder, Larry interrogated Tatiana as to how she did that.  He then told her she should be a nurse because she has a very soothing and medicinal touch.  They are now meeting up to watch the Ukraine hearings as Tatiana is Ukrainian.  As the hearing concludes, Devin Nunes declares, “For those of you at home, it’s time to change the channel, turn down the volume and hide the kids; put them to bed.  I yield my time to Mr. Schiff for story time hour.”

                Larry bursts out laughing and actually keels over.  Tatiana chuckles and asks, “Are you going to be able to pull through?”

                After a while, Larry stops laughing and Tatiana poses, “Isn’t it sad that something as serious as an impeachment hearing is relegated to a comedy routine?”

                “Did you listen to the witnesses this week?  It was a comedy routine.  If there was anything serious or to the phone call, then maybe the Republicans would take it seriously but it was clearly a waste of America’s time and tax money.”

                “Well, Sondland did admit that it was a quid pro quo.”

                “Actually, he said he presumed it was.  He later admitted that aid was not tied to investigating Biden and there was no quid pro quo and when he called Trump. Trump said he wanted nothing, he just wanted Ukrainian President Zelensky to do the right thing and do what he ran on.”

                “Yea, then he admitted that Zelensky ran on fighting corruption so the presumption should have been that Trump wanted Zelensky to fight corruption.”

                “Well, you’re Ukrainian. Do you have any specific insight in this?”

                “Nope, but I do like that the president isn’t pro-Russia.”

                “Well, yea you’re western Ukrainian so you hate Russians.”

                “You don’t have to be Ukrainian to see it for what it was.  Our congressman Mike Turner really put the nail in the coffin.”

                “Well, we did record it. Let’s rewind that.”

                Tatiana rolled her eyes but let him do it.  There was Mike Turner asking about a link between security link and opening investigations that Sondland mentioned in the opening statement.  Turner inquires, “Noone on this planet told you that President Donald Trump was tying aid to these investigations.  Is that correct?”

                Sondland responds, “Yes”

Turner: “So you really have no testimony today that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine In exchange for these investigations?”

                 “Other than my own presumption”

                “Which is nothing….Made up testimony is when I presume it.”

                Tatiana turns off the TV and transitions, “Do you still overpay for regular women to fuck you?”

                “I do”

                “Well, I may have someone for you.”

                “Oh yea?”

                “Yea, she’s a resident.  Cute as a button.  About 5’4”, long black hair.  She’s Greek like you and she’s got big breasts and a nice round butt.  She’s got a little bit of a gut so it’s not the ridiculously unproportioned hourglass shape that a lot of you Greeks have.”

                “How old?”

                “Mid to late 20s, I never really asked.”

                “Is she cool?”

                “Yea, and all our doctors are forced to get STD testing so I can vouch that she’s clean.”

                “What does she want?”

                “You’ll see.  I want you to be surprised.  I’ll set it up.”

                “Alright then.”

                A couple days later, Tatiana invites Larry to her house.  As he comes over, he sees the girl and Larry introduces himself, “Hi I’m Larry.”

                “I’m Despina” she says with the kind of smile that’s full of perfectly straight pearly white teeth and melts men. 

                “Nice to meet you.”

                “Likewise, we were just talking about the impeachment hearings.”

                “That debacle?”

                “Yea, I can’t really figure out why Sondland completely contradicted himself.”

                “Well he tried to play both sides of the story.”

                “Well, Sondland owns a bunch of hotels and is relatively wealthy.  Liberals have been threatening his family and picketing his hotels for saying that Trump didn’t have a quid pro quo in the closed hearings.”

                “How did they even know about that?”

                “Schiff leaked it and then the Republicans leaked the counter.  He just wanted to appease the mob but not commit perjury.”

                “Yea, Representative Tucker exposed CNN for their false headline.”

                “The funny thing is CNN wasn’t even the worst of it.”

                “What do you mean?”

                “The AP printed that Trump contradicted Sondland’s testimony when he said that Sondland testified that during their phone call, President Trump told Sondland that he wanted nothing.  It was actually CNN that tweeted back to them that what they said was false in that Sondland did testify to that.  You know it’s bad when you attack the President and CNN calls you out for lying.”

                “Or maybe they’re just not fake news like the President says.”

                “Oh, no they are.  Telling the truth once doesn’t make you honest.”

                “Well, I can see where your bias lies.”

                “Yup; the facts”

                “Anyway!” interrupted Tatiana, “We were going to watch Tanked”

                “Do you like that show?” Despina asked Larry

                “Actually I do.”

                As they sit and watch the show, during a commercial, Despina announces, “I do think it was ridiculous by the Republicans to try to out the whistleblower.  I mean his anonymity is protected by law.”

                “Actually it’s not.  Despite what that sleazy liar Schiff claims, the whistleblower has no statutory right to privacy and anonymity.  The only protection is from being fired, punished, denied a promotion in any way due to his actions.”

                “Really?”

                “Yea, the only protection is from the ICIG”

                “Who’s that?”

                “The Intelligence Community Inspector General, basically the guy you should blow the whistle to.  Anyone else, including the president, is fair game.”

                “It would be interesting how non-biased people saw it.”

                “Obviously, I’m biased but aren’t you non-biased?”

                “Yea, and I wasn’t too impressed.”

                “Well, here are some polls to tell you you’re not in the minority.  53% of Wisconsin voters oppose impeachment now.  Two weeks ago, the MU poll had support for impeachment at 44%; now it’s down to 40%.”

                “I’ve never heard of the MU poll and who cares about Wisconsin?”

                “Well, it’s a swing state but fine let’s go to Morning Consult.  They found that among independents, support for impeachment dropped 10 points in the last two weeks and is now at 40%.”

                “Well, I can see that but they were really trying to damage Trump for the 2020 election.”

                “According to Gallup, they failed in that endeavor too as President Trump’s approval ratings have ticked up since Schiff began impeachment hearings.”

                “There really is no silver lining for the Democrats then is there?”

                “Nope”

                “Alright”

                They finished watching the show and Tatiana realizes that they want to talk about the hearings.  Despina pronounces, “I thought of something else.  Did anyone ask about the validity of what Trump thinks about the allegations of Ukrainian corruption?”

                Tatiana uttered, “Yea, I can speak to this”

                “I’m all ears”

                “So, I looked at Ukrainian newspapers and Ukraine has widened their probe against the Burisma founder.”

                “To what?”

                “Apparently he embezzled money from state funds.”

                Larry chimed in, “Like, a lot of money?”

                “The equivalent of $ 33 million that belonged to Ukraine’s central bank.”

                “What about Hunter Biden?”

                “Apparently Zlochevsky, Burisma’s CEO, laundered 16 million dollars to Hunter Biden that they’re looking into.”

                “Yea, now that there are no Democrats to tell Ukraine who to prosecute and who not to, they are free to look into all this.”

                Despina fired back, “Holmes testified that there was no do-not-prosecute list.”

                Tatiana responded, “Yea but he lied.  The former ambassador Yovanovich & George Kent admitted it in their testimony.  Kent acknowledged that he signed a letter pressuring Ukrainians not to look into AnTAC”

                Larry remarked, “Which is a George Soros group and we all know how much money he gives to the Democrats.”

                “The big thing is that they pressured them not to look into Yuriy Luschenko, who was Nellie Ohr’s source”

                “Nellie Ohr works for Fusion GPS, which drafted the dossier that started the Russian collusion hoax.” Larry offered

                Confused, Despina retorted, “I thought Holmes said Lutsenko retracted the story that he was pressured.”

                Larry fired back, “Another lie.”

                Despina looked back at Tatiana who nodded and piled on, “Even the New York Times admitted that.”

                “And while all this was going on, President Trump flipped the 11th circuit court, which covers Florida.  It is now Republican.”

                Despina replied, “Yea, I haven’t really been following that but he does have a Republican majority Senate so might as well make use of it.  What about Fiona Hill?”

                “Ehh, saying that the Ukrainians meddling in the 2016 election was a fictional narrative is ridiculous.  Politico even wrote an article entitled “Efforts by Ukraine to sabotage Trump backfires.”

                Tatiana exclaims, “Anyway, let’s go back to less serious topics.  What did you think of ‘Tanked’ Larry?”

                Larry shrugs his shoulders, “I’ve seen it before.  I like the show.  They got cool fish tanks.”

                Despina smiled and cried out, “I love that show.  It would be so cool to have one.  I mean, normal fish tanks are boring but if I could get a personal one with exotic fish, it would be amazing.”

                With that statement, Larry figured out why he was invited and what she was getting at.  He grinned and expressed, “What would you be willing to do for one?”

                Despina’s eyes got wide and she clammed up.  She timidly mumbled, “I don’t know, I mean, even If I become a doctor, I’ll never be able to afford one of those.  They’re ridiculously expensive. That’s why all the people on there are celebrities with oodles of money.”

                “Yea, but you’re pretty enough to get some billionaire to buy one for you.”

                “I didn’t study my ass off and go through medical school and currently am killing myself in residency just to marry a man and be taken care of.”

                “Who said anything about marry?  Just for one night.”

                “It would be nice to come home from these 30 hour shifts to some cool fish.”

                “There you go.  You don’t want to wait.  While you’re still in residency, you could get someone to do it and then you got a cool fish tank.”

                “Well, if I got the offer, then maybe I’d think about it” Despina declared with a sly smile and a look to say it was a ridiculous scenario

                “I’m not really talking hypothetically, I’m making you that offer.”

                Despina’s eyes widened and she turned to Tatiana who gave her a guilty look and shrugged her shoulders as if to apologetically confess that’s why she invited them there.”

                “When do I have to decide?”

                “As long as you want.  I don’t want to pressure you.  Either you’re willing to do it or you’re not.”

                “Can we discuss this over dinner?”

                “Yea, absolutely”

                “Let me sleep on it.”

                “So, we’ll meet tomorrow for dinner?”

                “Yea, sure.”

                Larry uses that as his cue to leave and he does.  He knows that Despina is going to ask Tatiana a lot of questions about him and whatever Tatiana says is going to influence Despina’s decision. 

                As Tatiana was very complementary, Despina decides she’ll have dinner with him.  The next day, Larry calls her and they agree to dinner.  As they sit down, Despina expresses, “I don’t want to talk about the proposal.  I got more questions about Ukraine.”

                “Alright”

                “You said that they meddled.  How so?”

                “A bunch of ways.  The Ukrainian ministers openly attacked Trump and called him a clown because he said he would contemplate recognizing Crimea as Russians since the people live there believe themselves to be Russian.”

                “Is that true?”

                “Yes, but that doesn’t make it right.  History has proven that the ministers were wrong.  Unlike Obama, President Trump gave military aid to Ukraine.  He still hasn’t recognized Crimea as Russia and he put more sanctions on Russia so he’s not as pro-Russia as the Ukraine ministers thought he was.”
                “They’re just giving their opinion.”

                “Well, the Russian meddling was based on Facebook posts so op-ed pieces should qualify.  Even if you don’t believe that though, the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Valeriy Chaly, made a statement that President’s Trump position on Crimea was troubling to Ukraine and Kiev doesn’t want it.”

                “Again, just someone posting his opinion in a paper.”

                “A Ukraine Parliamentarian named Leschenko gave the black ledger to DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa.  The black ledger was a hoax document used to take down Manafort, who was President Trump’s campaign manager.  That was a direct attack from Ukraine government officials against President Trump since they thought he was Pro-Russian.”

                “Is that the guy Tatiana was saying was the source for Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS?”

                “Yes”

                “Now, you’re making a good point about Ukraine meddling.”

                “Just to pile on, Ukraine’s president at the time Porochenko had a meeting set up with Alexandra Chalupa to discuss how to take down Manafort by linking him to the pro-Russian candidate he just beat named Yanukovych.” 

                “I think you just convinced me.  There’s a lot of people in Ukraine’s government, including the president, attacking the campaign manager for Trump.”

                “Yup”

                “Alright, let’s talk about other things.”

                They change topics and have a nice dinner.  At the end, Despina asserted, “About your offer.  I’ll do it.”

                “Alright, let’s go back to my hotel.”

                “Yea, okay”

                Larry stops by at a liquor store and gets a small bottle of tequila, salt and lemon slices.  They go back to Larry’s hotel and Larry takes off his clothes and Despina does the same.  - Despina wrapped her arms around Larry’s neck kissing him on the mouth.  They made out as they meandered over to the bed.  Despina lied down on her back and Larry placed a condom over his erect penis.  Despina had her legs straight up in front of Larry and Larry threw his upper body against them pushing them back towards Despina’s head as he lunged himself behind her vaginal walls.  He rocked back and forth with Despina’s legs following his progress while his hands reached around her legs and played with her breasts.  Larry then grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to her feet.  He turned her around and bent her over the table with the contents for a tequila shot.  He placed his hands on each of her butt cheek and squeezed hard as he eased himself into her penetrating her birth canal from the rear.  He humped her as he squeezed her butt pushing her hips against the table as he drove himself into her.  Despina said, “Man, you really like my ass.  Maybe your covering something up.” as she smiled at the end.

            Larry smiled and pulled out. He grabbed lubrication from the table and doused the area where Despina’s butt cheeks met with it.  Larry said, “See where your big mouth is going to get you” as he jerked his penis into her buttocks. 

He reached around and fondled her breasts and kissed her neck.  Despina grinded her hips surrendering to Larry.  Larry swept her legs and wrapped them around his waist followed by picking up her upper body.  Despina reached around and grabbed the back of Larry’s neck holding herself upright as Larry used his right hand to fondle her breasts and his right to feel the path from her cervix toward the womb stopping at the G spot.  As he was doing so, he used his thumb to stimulate the clitoris and surrounding area.  Despina climaxed and Larry switched hands.  When Despina let out a guttural scream again, he let her down, pulled out of her anus and slammed himself back into her vagina.  He hoisted her up in the same manner as his hands returned to their original tasks.  This time Despina’s screaming came quicker as he switched hands again.  He twisted his body to face the bed and dropped Despina unceremoniously to the bed face down.  He rolled her over to find her smiling widely.  Larry looked at her lustfully and mounted her undercutting her hamstrings with his arms bringing her knees to his shoulders.  He shoved her legs behind her head and pinned them down as she pummeled his way deep inside her.  Despina moaned with delight and Larry pulled out and, since Despina’s waist was in the air exposing her anus, he drilled her rectum once again with his penis.  Larry caressed her legs with his hands and kissed her lips, breasts and neck.

            After a bit, Larry picked up Despina and she dropped her legs to wrap them around his waist with her arms around his neck kissing him.  Larry carried her to the shower and turned the water on.  He grabbed soap and covered Despina’s body in it.  Despina jumped up and wrapped her limbs around Larry once again as he pinned her against the wall with his hands being squished between her butt and the wall.  His tongue was passionately working its way against Despina’s in her mouth.  His mouth dropped to her breasts and Despina protruded her breasts into his face.  Larry’s face buried in her breasts as semen shot out of his shaft trying to make its way into Despina but was held back by the condom.  As his body tensed up, Despina realized what was happening and was disappointed that it was over. 

                Larry walks to the bed and lies down panting.  Despina’s breath is a little heavy but it wouldn’t be considered panting.  She remarks, “I think you’re against Democrats.  Let me ask what you think about Sanders and that we’re all going to be dead in eight years.”

                “This is like the 214th time they’ve made this claim in the last 100 years.  All the timelines have been wrong and they keep moving the goalposts.”

                “They got to be right eventually.”

                “Maybe, but if people really believed this then why is waterfront property still really expensive?”

                “Well, it hasn’t happened yet.”

                “You buy property to appreciate over time.  You’re really going to pay millions of dollars for something that’s going to be under water in eight years?”

                “Well, they don’t believe it.”

                “Everything is based on supply and demand.  If a majority of people believed this, as global warmists claim, then nobody would want it.  With the decrease demand, there would be a lower price.”

                “I’m not sure.”

                “How about this?  If there’s going to be a massive draught, how come farmers aren’t selling their farmland?  It’s going to be worthless in eight years, so get out while you can.”

                “Farmers are generally conservative.”

                “San Francisco, probably the most liberal city in the country, sold bonds.  When you sell bonds, you have to disclose all the risks associated with them.  Nowhere in the risks is that the whole city may be under water in eight years so they’re not going to be able to pay them back.

                “You really thought a lot about this.”

                “I think a lot about everything.”

                “Alright fine, no Bernie what about Kamala Harris.”

                “it was just weird when she was bragging about how she’s a fighter because she took on Kavanaugh, Bill Barr and Jeff Session so she can take on Trump.”

                “Yea, Trump is a little bit more of a formidable opponent than those three.”

                “Not just that, but she lost all three battles.  All three of those people got confirmed.  She failed.”

                Despina looks to the side and then up.  “See, that’s why I agreed.  You’re not just some dumbass that throws his money around; you actually are fun to talk to and are smart.”

                “Thank you, I like talking to you too.”

                “I hate to bring this up but…..”

                “What kind of tank do you want?”

                “Well, I’m going to let them decide the fish in one tank but I want a predator tank with Oscars and piranhas and stuff.  The other will just be exotic fish.”

                “Alright”

                Despina lies next to Larry and snuggles with him.  Larry obliges and falls asleep quickly.  The next day, Despina gets dressed and leaves.  She calls professional custom tank makers to appraise what she wants.  She agrees on a design that’s personal to her and gets her fish.  Larry picks up the bill and pays it.  After that, he had no interaction with Despina, which is what she wanted because with the long hours at the hospital she really had no time for anything else.

Theo the Trump Supporter Episode 36 Wh's Witness Is it


                It is day two of the impeachment hearing and Adam Schiff is presiding over his House intelligence committee as he is the chairman.  Over at the White House, employees are glued to their TV sets to see what will transpire.  Most of them are confident that their boss will not be removed from office so they are about to view without worry of chaos that will ensue at their place of employment.  The first witness they call is Tim Morrison, who is a member of the National Security Council (NSC).  The NSC is where the whistleblower Eric Ciaramella worked so that is why he is seen as a key witness since he works for the same agency that raised concerns over President Trump’s conversation with Ukrainian president Zelensky that they based the impeachment inquiry on.  Morrison is asked, “Ambassador Taylor’s statement relates that you told him the President doesn’t want to provide any assistance at all. Is that true?”

                Morrison responds, “Yes”

                “Can you help me understand what that meant?”

                “The President’s general antipathy to foreign aid as well as his concern that the Ukrainians are not paying their fair share, as well as his concerns when our aid would be misused because of the view that Ukraine has a significant corruption problem (P79).”

                There’s a lot of puzzled faces in the viewing audience at the White House.  Morrison just contradicted the entire narrative.  Schiff and the Democrats said that President Trump withheld the aid because he wanted them to investigate Hunter Biden and Burisma.  Morrison is now saying that this was the general policy that he had.  He went on to say that President Trump was especially worried about Ukraine since they don’t pay their fair share and have a long history of corruption so the aid may be misused.  One White House employee, Theo, blurts out, “This is Schiff’s witness right?”

                “Yes”

                “So the Democrats’ own witness just completely destroyed their narrative.”

                “It would appear so yes.”

                Later, Morrison brings up that he was concerned about Colonel Vindman’s judgment.  When pressed, Morrison revealed that he had discussions with Dr Mills in the transition team and their strength and weaknesses.  Fiona and others had raised concerns about Alex’s (Vindman) judgment.

                Theo comments to the TV, “Whatever happened to nobody can question Colonel Vindman because he was in the military?  Schiff said nothing to Morrison.”

                “it’s his witness”

                “Yea, some witness.” Theo said sarcastically. 

                After the Morrison debacle, the White House employees had a new found interest. They wanted to see just how much damage the Democrats were going to self-inflict with this hoax.  They called Marie Yovanovitch who was the ambassador to Ukraine until President Trump fired her.  She is being questioned by Chris Steward who is a Republican representative from Utah.  Stweard inquires, “Do you have any evidence that President Trump received a bribe?”

                “No” Yovanovitch responds

                “Do you have any information that a crime involving the president happened at all?”

                “No”

                Theo adds, “Then why are you at an impeachment hearing?”

                The room laughs but they are a little stunned at how ridiculous the witnesses are.  It is now John Radcliffe’s turn to ask questions.  He poses, “If you were focused on ending corruption in Ukraine while appointed by Obama.  Is it your testimony that only one Ukrainian company interested Biden and Obama and that was the one Hunter Biden worked for?”

                “Yes”

                “You understood from Secretary George Kent that Hunter’s arrangement in Burisma caused him enough concern that it was a conflict of interest.  Do you recall and agree with that?”

                “Yes, I think it could raise the appearance of a conflict of interest.”

                The hearing goes from bad to worse as Schiff refuses to recognize or let any members yield their time to Representative Elise Stefanik, one of the few Republican representatives in New York.  He constantly bangs his gavel and refuses to let her speak and says the gentlewoman will not be recognized and will suspend.  It is an egregious abuse of power and the fact that Schiff gets away with it sickens the White House employees watching, especially the women who believe a man silencing a woman is reprehensible.  That set the mood for the rest of the work day.  At the end of the day, Theo goes to American University to see what college kids are saying at the local watering hole also known as a bar.  He sees a girl with short black hair, a round face and proportioned body sitting at the bar.  He walks over there with a drink and introduces himself.  Normally he waits for people to start talking about politics and he injects himself in the conversation but he breaks from his routine this time.  He utters, “Hi, I’m Theo.”

                “I’m Stella”

                “Nice to meet you”

                “Likewise.”

                “Did you see the impeachment hearings?”

                “I did.  I wish they asked more questions of Yovanovitch though.”

                “Like what?”

                “Well John Radcliffe grilled her pretty hard.”

                “Well, she said she was focused on exposing corruption in Ukraine and ignored the biggest corruption scandal that the country had.  Radcliffe had to bring that up to discredit her because she should be discredited because you can’t claim to be about ending corruption and then not care about Burisma, which may be the most corrupt agency in Ukraine.”

                “Would you say that if she was a man?”

                “Of course I would.  Yovanovitch complains about getting fired but she was very vocal how much she hated Trump overseas.  Aside from that, it is standard practice for presidents to fire all the ambassadors of the previous administration.  Obama did it in 2008, so just at face value it doesn’t mean anything but President Trump actually had just cause to fire Yovanovitch and he didn’t even need any. “

                “I guess when you have a tag line in a TV show, ‘you’re fired,’ that should’ve been a clue.”

                “There you go.”

                “I don’t know I just felt bad for her.”

                “I didn’t.  earlier she released a statement that neither Biden or Obama ever raised the topic of Burisma and Hunter Biden to her but then in her deposition to be confirmed, she informs the committee that during preparation for the questions she may be asked at the confirmation hearing, Obama and Biden specifically prepared her on questions about Bursima and Hunter Biden.”

                “Yea, but the answer was to refer the question to Vice President Joe Biden’s office.”

                “Joe Biden claimed he didn’t know anything about Hunter and Burisma either.”

                “Well, then he’s the one that’s lying since he felt his office was fully prepared to answer the question.  Call him out.”

                “I call them both out.  I think they’re both lying.”

                “At least you’re consistent but I don’t think Yovanovitch is lying.  They didn’t talk about it because they just told her to refer it to Joe Biden.”

                “If she’s going to be the highest US official in Ukraine, don’t you thinks he should be a little curious and know about their largest energy company?”

                “Maybe but that doesn’t mean she did.  Why is Radcliffe attacking her anyway?”

                “He believes that the Democrats are doing all this because they’re trying to beat the IG report”

                “Well that’s obviously a conspiracy theory.”

                “When every witness testified today that President Trump is not guilty of a high crime, misdemeanor or bribery, then why was there an impeachment hearing?”

                A boy walked over and interrupted, “You have to admit man, between Russia and Ukraine, there’s too much smoke to not be fire.”

                “No, I don’t have to admit that.  Especially since both Russian collusion and the Trump phone call are the same hoax.  In your case, you looked at the same smoke and thought it was two different ones.”

                “How do you figure?”

                “Marie Yovanovitch testified that Serhiy Luschenko helped the DNC and Alexandra Chalupa to dig up dirt on Paul Manafort to hurt Trump.  Luschenko was the one that gave the DNC the black ledger, which was a fake document about Manfort’s corruption.”

                “What does that have to do with Yovanovitch?”

                “Yovanovitch wrote a letter to the prosecutor general of Ukraine, after Biden got the previous one fired, that he shouldn’t prosecute Leschenko.  Leschenko was also the source for Michael Isikoff, the reporter that first leaked the fake dossier. It’s the same person involved in both hoaxes.”

                “I don’t know about all that but I talk to people and there’s just too many scandals for there not to be something.”

                “Not sure who you’re talking to considering Rasmussen shows Trump’s approval rating at 50%.  Given that it was 46% four days ago before these hearings started, I’d say the people you talk to aren’t representative of the country.”

                “That still means 50% of people don’t like him.”

                “At this point in his presidency, Obama was only 49%.”

                “One point; who cares?”

                “You should.  Especially since Rasmussen also found that voters wanted to hear about Ukraine and Burisma from Joe and Hunter Biden.”

                “Joe is running for president.”

                “So that makes him above the law?”

                The boy storms off and Stella doesn’t miss a beat.  She declares, “I didn’t like what happened with Elise Stefanik though”

                “At least you’re consistent”

                “What do you mean?”

                “You said you don’t like men silencing or going hard after women.  What Schiff did was much worse than what Radcliffe did.”

                “Oh, no question.  Schiff was really obnoxious.”

                “With all his gavel hitting and telling her she’s not recognized and she will suspend.  Fuck that misogynistic pig.”

                “He only did it because Stefanik is doing real damage to the Democrats.  That’s why they target her.  What’s really sad is the media and twitter piled on.  One even called her ‘trash.”

                “That’s fucked up.”

                “I agree; not the mention hypocritical since when Kamala Harris was interrupted at the Senate hearings, everyone criticized the committee and made her out to be a victim hero.”

                “There was even a hashtag, ‘Trashy Stefanik’; that’s just wrong.”

                “Agreed”

                Theo closes his tab and after he writes in the tip, the bartender cries out, “Go squad, the future of America.”

                The bar cheers and Theo smiles and fires back, “You know that 75% of them are being investigated for campaign finance violations?”

                “So what, everyone does it.”

                “No, they don’t but if Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlib and AOC are going to be moral authorities and virtue signal all the time, they may not want to have scandals such as those.  They should probably make sure they’re squeaky clean.”

                When there was no response, Theo walked out the door.  He made his way to the metro and headed to his house in Rockville, Maryland.  While on the platform, college kids were talking about Democratic socialism.  One articulates, “Just like the Nordic countries.  It’s worked really well there so why not do it here?”

                Theo called out, “You do know the Finnish government just collapsed because of the cost of Universal healthcare and Sweden, Norway and Denmark have a lot of people that buy private insurance anyway because the government’s insurance is so bad.”

                “So Finland messed it up.”

                “Reuters found similar problems in Sweden and Denmark.  It’s like the Euro, first Greece collapsed then Spain, then Italy and a chain reaction as economies kept failing trying to keep up with the price of the Euro.”

                Whereas Theo’s journey would be over an hour and half, the college students got on the train and got off quickly.  Theo closed his eyes and tried getting some rest.  He was forced to open them when he heard a man remark, “Pete Buttiegieg is making a startling comeback.  He may win the nomination.”

                Theo responded, “He won in Iowa and New Hampshire.  Those states are predominantly white and he does very badly with the black vote.  I don’t anticipate him picking up states with a substantial sized black population.”

                “Funny you say that because his campaign just came out with a list of 400 black South Carolinians that support him.”

                “Read the update; 42% of the people on the list turned out to be White.  Others called to say they never told anyone that they supported him.  He just lied on multiple fronts.  It got even worse when it was revealed he used stock photos of Kenyans.”

                “If any of that is true, then it’s going to destroy him.  In fact, I doubt it because it would be all over the news if it was true.”

                “It’s called ‘fake news’ for a reason but research it yourself.  The media supports Democrats but everything I told you is true.  Because of it, I’m pretty sure Buttigieg will not be the nominee.”

                There was silence on the train and Theo arrived home.  He found that he was more tired than he normally was but didn’t really know why as he got a lot of sleep the night before.  He went to bed early ready to do it all over again tomorrow.
