Fanis the Bodyguard Episode 51 Blowing Off Steam

                Fanis is an American living in England.  Like many people around the world, he is irate with the socialist tyranny in the form of lockdowns all over the world.  He especially is upset about it happening in America considering he believes America is the last best hope for the world.  Living with him is his employer Kera.  Kera and Fanis are second cousins and Kera hired him as her bodyguard because as a Chinese artifact dealer, she finds herself in remote areas in places that may not be too friendly to women.  Given the deep pockets of her clients and enemies, she needed someone she knew couldn’t be bought off.  Since Fanis grew up with money, he was the perfect candidate.  In the beginning, people had tried to bribe him but his vitriolic and barbaric response to it sent a wave around the international community not to even try it.  Fanis was pacing around the flat barely able to control his anger.  This excited Kera because a pissed off bodyguard was much more effective at his job because he’d take it out on people who may try to hurt her.  Kera knew that Fanis would never hit her so had no problem egging him on.  She knew why he was upset and she was about to add fuel to the fire, “You know, you were so happy when the DOJ dropped their case against Mike Flynn but you just didn’t anticipate the judge would refuse the motion to dismiss.”

                Fanis turned towards his cousin and barked, “That’s because it doesn’t happen!  If this was a movie, everyone would think it was ridiculous.  In fact, every single movie when the prosecution decides to drop all charges, they don’t even bother to have the judge accept it because it’s implied.”

                “Well, he opened it up to friends of the court to see if anyone else wanted to take over it.”

                “How is that not double jeopardy?”

                “I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer.”

                “You don’t’ have to be to know that this is bullshit.  The DOJ acknowledges that it was an entrapment ploy and the judge wants leftists groups to go take their pound of flesh?  This is a sick human being.”

                “There was a lot of pressure from the media.  Even Barack Obama criticized the DOJ for dropping the case.”

                “That’s exactly why they’re doing it; to destroy Flynn in the court of public opinion by letting his sworn enemies file ‘official’ documents attacking him and lying about him.  It’s mudslinging but this time instead of the media, it’s a fucking federal court.”

                “It’s not just any leftist group; these lawyers that penned the op-ed were the ones who investigated Watergate.”

                “They also wanted Trump to be impeached and look how that turned out.”

                “I’m just saying they’re credible.”

                “You’re not credible because you did something that worked out 45 years ago.  Have you learned nothing the last three years?  What happened to Christopher Steele being credible because he was involved in FIFA?  It actually turned out that his information wasn’t even used for FIFA so even that was a lie but regardless, you don’t get lifetime credibility because you did a good job once.  These 16 jackasses are the ones putting the briefs with the court and they had nothing to do with the fucking case.”

                “Well, if it’s so asinine, then why don’t you have faith in that bulldog lawyer that Flynn has?”

                “Sidney Powell has already filed a motion highlighting that Sullivan is a hypocrite because he rejected 24 previous attempts by parties to intervene in the case.  He is quoted with saying ‘the Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure do not provide for intervention by third parties in criminal cases.  Options exist for private citizens to express his views about matters of public interest, but the court’s docket is not an available option.’  What happened to that?”

                “That’s just for people supporting Flynn not those opposed.”

                “I know you’re joking but the sad part is that’s true.  How could this case get any worse?  You have malicious prosecution by Obama Administration and FBI, Concealment of Brady Material, Coerced guilty plea, ineffectiveness of counsel, independent review by AG/AUSA, prosecution motion to dismiss the case, a judge that accused him of treason and now putting out open season on him for anyone to try to take him out.”

                “I know, it’s a trial court so there’s literally no reason for amici except political.”

                “How does this not piss you off?”

                “I don’t know Flynn and besides I have to prepare for my next meeting.  You should get ready because I think you could use this trip too.”

                “Where are we going?”

                “St. John’s”

                “You miss the beach already huh?”

                “Don’t you?”

                “Yup.”

                “And it doesn’t look like we will be able to go anywhere in the civilized world any time soon.”

                “I’m game.”

                They head to their plane and Fanis notices that there’s no decontamination protocol before they get on like there had been the last couple months.  He queries, “So, what convinced you that this is all an exaggeration and the lockdowns aren’t based in science?”

                “Georgia and Florida opened and the predictions of doom haven’t happened.”

                “Most of the transmissions happened at home too so it seems the lockdowns made it worse.”

                “I was looking at New York’s data and health care workers actually had a lower infection rate than the general population.”

                “It’s all about control.  We were lied to about it being about flattening the curve.  That already happened so they make impossible criteria like testing and tracing.”

                “I just don’t know why though?”

                “Control, power and to hurt Trump.  Blue states will stay locked down to try to stop red states from reviving the economy and opening up.”

                “You’re beginning to make sense.  I get tracing in the beginning but you can’t trace millions of people.  It’s a bit late for that.”

                “They want to create a surveillance state like China.”

                “That’s actually true. The new tracing bill put aside $100 Billion to allow Health and Human Services to come to your house and quarantine a member if you’re sick.  They are literally going to separate families for any positive tests and the tests are geared more toward false positives than false negatives.  It is a police state and socialism has conquered the world.”

                “You never agree with me on these things.  What happened?”

                “It’s blatantly obvious with things that come out.  I mean  I hate Trump as much as the next guy but not allowing people to work and forcibly removing them from their homes all in the name to destroy the success he had with the economy is going too far.”

                “Don’t I know it.”

                They arrive in St. John’s and check into their hotel.  Just like the other Caribbean destinations, there are not many people there.  Since St. John’s is predominantly run by tourism, they love their new visitors and are willing to allow them complete access to any beaches even if they deny locals the same courtesy.  Kera and Fanis buy beer and drink on their balcony before turning in. 

                The next day, Kera meets up with her client and Fanis waits outside with the other security guards.  He strikes up a conversation with one knowing that they are about to talk about politics as that’s what everyone wants to talk to Americans about.  The guard inquires, “What do you think about all this Russian collusion stuff?”

                “I think it’s obviously a hoax.  There hasn’t been a shred of evidence in three years and there’s a lot of evidence that he was set up and members of his campaign have been entrapped.”

                “Yea, I saw someone call it the greatest fiasco in his over 50 years of journalism.”

                “That was Brit Hume of Fox”

                “Yea, all because they hate President Trump.’

                “Yup and Hume normally doesn’t inject his opinion.  He’s a straight news guy so it’s saying something he came out like this.”

                “Why won’t the Washington Post, New York Times and the other big media people just retract everything?”

                “It’s worse, they’re doubling down.  They keep pushing it and they’re doing the same thing with the Wuhan Virus.”

                “How do you figure?”

                “Anything that points to opening, they are against and anything pointing to keeping it locked down, they approve.”

                “Yea, I noticed that too.  They keep praising Cuomo and Hogan because they want to stay locked down till August.”

                “Cuomo killed people by forcing nursing homes to take in Wuhan Virus patients.  He even sent them with body bags.”

                “What about CNN?”

                “They have the worst guy of them all.  This dumbass, Brian Stelter, is trying to tell us that we are only talking about the Russian Collusion hoax and the setup of Mike Flynn to distract from the Wuhan Virus.  He talked more about the Russian collusion allegations than anyone on the planet.  It never ceases to amaze me how easily and comfortably the media contradicts themselves and engage in hypocrisy.”

                “I think this is the end of the world.”

                “Unfortunately, I agree with you.”

                Just as they were getting into it, the door opens and Kera emerges.  Fanis bids farewell to the guard and they head to the beach.  As they put their towel down, they each strip to their bathing suits and dart toward the water diving in.  They hang out in the water for a while and then retreat back to their towel.  As they are laying out, a man approaches and questions, “You from America?”

                Fanis responds, “Originally yes, but now we live in London.”

                “Do you know that your Speaker has just proposed a $ 3 Trillion spending bill?”

                “Yes, we are aware.”

                “You do realize that there is no money to do this.  There was no money for the last three or four either.”

                Fanis noticed the venom in the man’s voice so he got up and stepped so that Kera was behind him.  He responded, “There’s not much we can do about it.  She is actively destroying the economy just to hurt Trump.  It’s sick and sadistic but we’re not government officials.”

                “Why don’t the Republicans block it or Trump veto it?”

                “The Republicans are pussies and Trump likes the roller coaster.  That’s why he applied for bankruptcy nine times.  He likes people thinking that he’s down and out only to do the impossible and resurrect it.”

                “That’s fine with your money but now with a country’s”

                “I agree with you.  It was my biggest fear when he was running.  It sucks that it came true.”

                “Don’t you realize that the world economy runs on America?  If you fail, the whole world fails.”

                “I do realize that but again there’s nothing I can do.”

                “Call your congressman”

                “We don’t live in America anymore.”

                “Pelosi’s bill has stuff that has nothing to do with the virus.”

                “I know, she wants to get rid of the SALT deductions, which did exactly what Democrats always say they want; it taxed the rich and left the poor alone.  Since it attacks property taxes, and Pelosi’s San Francisco district has the highest property taxes in the country, it’s no wonder she wanted that in there.”

                “She’s not even pretending this time.  She specifically said she wants to bailout states without any stipulation that it has be virus related.”

                “That’s because she wants the federal government to bailout Democrat states for decades of money mismanagement.”

                “Is it just Democrat states?”

                “Pretty much.  Florida has more people than New York but their budget is half that of New York’s yet it’s cleaner and has fewer potholes.”

                “They are increasing the unemployment benefits.”

                “All that means is that people who lost their job are less likely to go back to work even if they’re allowed to.”

                “Why is the postal service and student loan forgiveness on there?”

                “Because Pelosi is retarded.”

                “How can you just sit there and do nothing about it?”

                “There’s nothing I can do.”

                The man shoved Fanis, “You’re an American.  You can call the representatives from when you used to live in America.”

                Fanis glared at him and declared, “If you touch me again, you will regret it.”

                “Oh yea” as the man took a swing at Fanis who ducked. 

                As the man spun back, Fanis swung his left fist into his jaw knocking him down.  He then put his hands up in retreat as he just wanted to discourage him for continuing the fight.  The man nodded and apologized so Fanis put his guard down thinking that it had the desired effect.  The man drove a fist into Fanis’ stomach and put him in a headlock.  He knew what he was doing as he sprawled his legs to increase the pressure on Fanis’ neck but lower his center of gravity to make it extremely difficult for Fanis to lift him up.  Fanis maneuvered his thumbs in between the man’s palms and then snapped his head down breaking the grip.  The man unleashed a flurry of fists but Fanis dodged them all and when he stopped to catch his breath, Fanis grabbed his arm and pulled him toward him as he drove his knee into his solar plexus.  Fanis reached down and grabbed the man’s hair on the back of his head and drove his face into his knee repeatedly. 

                The man dropped to his knees and Fanis let go of his head allowing him to collapse face down in the sand.  Fanis panted more out of anger than exhaustion and shook his head.  He scurried forward and kicked the man in side repeatedly before stomping on his back as he taunted him for blaming him for the economic collapse of America perpetuated by the state governors; mostly blue states. 

                Fanis reached down and grabbed the man by the sides and gingerly hoisted him up.  He bent down and wrapped his arms around the man’s legs and straightened his knees putting the man over his shoulder he then walked to the water and unceremoniously slammed the top half of his body into the water.  Now that he was in the water, he was easier to maneuver and Fanis turned him over and shoved his head under water.  Although the man was unconscious before, the realization that he was about to die woke him up.  He squirmed and thrashed trying to get his head above water but Fanis had a strong hold of him and soon his body went limp. 

                Fanis took a deep breath and exited the water and Kera was already packing up their stuff.  When he got back, she stated, “Well, I guess our beach day is over.  Come on now, we need to get our stuff and get the fuck out of here.”

                “I’m sorry.”

                “Do you feel better?”

                “Yes, I do.”

                “Good, Mike Flynn is still a political prisoner though.”

                “Yea, but I’m not as upset about it as I was before.”

                Kera giggled, “Awesome” she blurted out

                They go back to the hotel and get their stuff and board the plane.  On the plane, Kera articulates, “Maybe, we should avoid Flynn for the time being.”
                “Why? I got my catharsis.”

                “I know I don’t want to ruin that.”

                “It doesn’t matter.  Marie Yovanovitch has popped up again.”

                “The former Ambassador to Ukraine.”

                “Yea, the one that testified under oath that she didn’t know much about Burisma and never met any of their officials nor was ever briefed.  She admitted that she had talked to Joe Biden and Barack Obama but not Hunter and never about Burisma.   Turns out she was lying.”

                “She perjured herself?””

                “Yea, contacts have just been exposed between the US Embassy and Burisma and she was the head of the embassy.”

                “That’s circumstantial.  It could have just been people at the embassy and not necessarily her.”

                “Unlikely but there were state department memos showing Burisma wanted to polish their image before Trump took office.”

                “If you’re going to convict her of perjury, you need to have evidence she talked to Burisma, not the embassy.”

                “You mean like the e-mail she received in September 2016 about how Burisma hired an American firm named Blue Star Strategy to help their reputation and how they elected Hunter Biden to their board?”

                “Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”

                “Or how about that there is documentations of a closed door meeting between Burisma representatives and Ambassador Yovanovitch?”

                “Now you’re getting it.  What were these meetings about?”

                “Pressuring Yovanovitsch to drop corruption charges against Burisma owner Zlochevsky.”

                “Well, with everyone distracted by Flynn and Covid19, they can work to get this without much opposition.”

                “Well, Senator Johnson of Wisconsin has subpoenaed records from Blue Star and the Atlantic Counsel but Romney is blocking it.”

                “Why is Romney blocking it?”

                “His friend works at Burisma.”

                “Ah, so now we know why he was the only Republican to vote to remove Trump from office.”

                “It’s all making sense now why the observer in January 2017 wrote that Ukraine tried to tip the election in Hillary’s direction.”

                “Where have I heard the Atlantic Counsel before?”        

                “It’s an anti-Russia group that’s heavily funded by Viktor Pinchuk, who is Hillary Clinton’s largest donor.”

                “There you go.”

                They arrive back in London and head to their flat and decompress from their long trip for a short period of time.  Before turning in, Kera gets serious with her cousin, “Look, I don’t know why you get so worked up over politics.  You need to calm down a little bit.  Even if socialism comes to America, black markets will emerge and I’m very good at grinding in black markets.” He gave a wry smile as he had a feeling that she was doing it even before the pandemic but said nothing.  Kera continued, “Fanis, I know you want to be kept in the dark about things that aren’t about buying and selling Chinese artifacts but it’s getting to a point where it might be inevitable for you to be keyed in.”

                “Well, let me know when we’re there.”

                “You may not have to hold your breath.”

 

Larry the Billionaire Episode 44 Deja Vu

                Larry was a billionaire that was in Chicago supporting his niece’s acting career.  She was the lead actress in a movie about the daughter of Dracula causing havoc on the world now that her father was killed.  The actress was in the movie in which Van Helsing succeeds in killing Dracula.  Her cameo is when a woman gives birth to the seed of Dracula whom impregnated her earlier; she was the infant.  Now, that infant is 25-years-old and the writer of the first movie wants to do a 25^th anniversary sequel.  As it isn’t linked to mainstream Hollywood productions, the movie needed funding and Larry always had a soft spot for his niece so he agreed to finance the project.  Larry is at dinner with his niece who has invited a friend of hers named Stephanie to join them.  Larry asks, “What do you do?”

    

            “I’m a physical trainer.”

                “Oh that’s cool.  Do you do physical therapy after surgeries or just general health and keeping in shape?”

                “Mostly general health and keeping people in shape.”

                Larry took a look at the 5’5” spray tanned woman whose entire body was toned muscles and found it quite easy to believe she was a personal trainer.  Her short black hair and smooth face with thin lips on a wide mouth made her intoxicating to look at.  Larry’s niece stated, “My uncle here ran a marathon.”

               Larry nods, “It was seven years ago but yes I did.”

                Stephanie replied, “That’s not easy” but looking at his beer gut and wide frame, she very much doubted he was capable of running a 5K let alone a marathon.  The interesting thing is, Larry had the belly even with all the running. 

                Larry hated everything about marathon training and running it so he changed topics and uttered, “What do you think of this impeachment trial in the Senate?”

                “Please Uncle Larry, no politics.  This is supposed to be a nice casual dinner.”

                Stephanie turned to her and retorted, “No, I don’t mind.  I hate small talk too.  It’s nice to talk about something with substance.”

                Larry’s niece shot back, “He’s a Trump supporter.”

                Larry just smiled.  He loved how liberals said this about him as if it was a dirty word.  For her part, Stephanie didn’t really react but her tone seemed a little too eager when she asked, “How do you feel about Lev Parnas flipping on Giuliani?”

               “We’ve seen this script before.  It doesn’t work.  People see right through someone making accusations against someone after they are facing federal charges.  It’s quite obvious that the Southern District of New York made a deal with him.  They charged him with stuff unrelated to Giuliani or Donald Trump so that they can make it go away if he lies about him.  What they prosecute him for is inevitably going to be small that no serious person really prosecuted before.”

                “What do you mean you saw the script before?”

                “It’s the same thing they did to Michael Cohen.  Remember how it was devastating for Trump that his former lawyer was aiding Mueller?  They indicted him on taxi medallions and tax evasion or something.  None of it had anything to do with Donald Trump and the information on Trump was never corroborated and quickly refuted and debunked so it didn’t matter.”

                “I’ll give you that Cohen wasn’t the big deal that they pretended it was but Parnas admitted he warned a Ukraine top aid that the president was going to cut off funds.”

                “The top aid’s name is Shefir and they decided to ask him about this.  Shefir claims they talked about arranging a meeting with Giuliani and military aid wasn’t brought up at all.  Now, who are you going to believe; the guy not indicted for a crime and facing pressure from federal prosecutors or the guy who is?”

                “Well, Ukraine aids don’t want to upset the president.  We’re the most powerful country in the world and they need our help.”

                “Giuliani also says he didn’t know Parnas was relaying that message to Ukraine.”

                “He’s Trump’s lawyer”

                “Kind of like Cohen?”

                “Well…..alright fine but Parnas says Bill Barr knew.”

                “Barr vehemently denies that.”

                “Yea, but Trump hired him.”

                “Barr doesn’t need the job.  He basically volunteered.  He’s the attorney general and is pretty neutral to this.  He’s not part of President Trump’s cabinet.”

               “He was still hired by Trump”

                “In your everyday life, if someone claims they told someone something and you ask that person and they deny it, do you automatically dismiss what they said?”

                “I see your point but I don’t know I believe him.”

  

              “Because you hate the president.  The problem with this impeachment probe is that  eventually you have to get a Ukrainian to back up your story.  They were instrumental attacking Manafort when he was Trump’s campaign manager so why weren’t they afraid of Trump then?”

                Larry’s niece turned to Stephanie, “I warned you.  Anyway, I got to go.  I have filming.”

                Larry paid the check and Stephanie was looking expectantly at him.  Larry picked up on the look and posed, “Do you want to grab a drink?”

                Stephanie smiled, “I’d love to.”

                Larry’s niece leaves and Stephanie and Larry start walking toward the bar.  Stephanie inquires, “What about Marie Yovanovich?  Parnas claims that the only motivation they had to get rid of her was she was vocal about President Trump withholding aid”

                “That’s not what the indictment said.  The indictment claims that in 2018 there was pressure by Ukraine and the US government to get her out.  I guess you think legal documents are also scared of President Trump.”

                “No, I didn’t say that” she responded with frustration in her voice.

                They go to the bar and Larry orders a drink and orders one for Stephanie.  They sit at a table and Larry declares, “You are really hot.”

                “Thank you.” she replies but gives him an annoyed look that she hears it a lot. 

                “How’s the personal training business.”

                “I do okay.  I mean, I’m able to live here but I’ll be paying student loans till I’m like in my mid-40s.”

                “I don’t know about that.  If you get some high end clients you could pay it off quicker.”

                “Yea, well let me know if you know any.”

                “Or you could just use a combination of what God gave you plus the work you’ve put into your body to knock it off in one night.”

                Stephanie’s smile ran away from her face and she glared at him sternly, “What the fuck are you talking about?”

                “I don’t mean to upset you.  It’s a simple offer.  If you fuck me, I’ll pay your student loans.”

                “You do know that to be a personal trainer and do physical therapy, you have to go to graduate school?”

                “I do know that.”

                Stephanie chuckled to ease the tension but she was staring at a stoic serious looking Larry.  “You’re serious?” she then told him the number

                “It’s contingent on you getting tested for STD’s but so long as that’s clean, yes I’m dead serious.”

                “Can I get back to you?”

                “Of course, here’s my number” and handed her his business card

                Surprisingly, they were able to move past the indecent proposal and had a standard conversation and then when the night ended, Larry put Stephanie in a cab and then went back to his hotel.  Later that night, he got a text from his niece, “Did you fuck Stephanie yet?”

                He responded back, “No”

                “What?!! I basically gift wrapped her.  How did you fuck that up?”

                “It’s not over.”

                “You exchanged contact information?”

                “Yes, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be opposed to help her or me out if needed”

                “Damn right!”

                It only took a day before Stephanie agreed to the terms.  Larry acted quickly and arranged for her to see a doctor to get the requisite tests and he did the same.  They exchanged clean bills of health and arranged a day for Stephanie to come to his hotel room.  When the time came, Stephanie shows up and walks in to find Larry in his boxers.  She stops short and looks around the room.  By now, Larry knew what was coming.  Stephanie articulates, “Are we in a hurry?  Can we have a conversation?  This walking into a hotel and ripping my clothes off and fucking you makes me feel really fucking grimy.  I’m not a sloot.”

                Larry didn’t know when ‘slut’ became ‘sloot’ but he had noticed that those near a decade younger than he used that term.  “I got all night.”

                “So you don’t think there’s anything to the Trump and Ukraine story.”

                “I know there’s not.  It’s been documented.  All their witnesses are hearsay.  It’s even bad for hearsay because it’s like four degrees of separation.”

                “Why do you think the Democrats brought it up then?”

                “Democrats are projectionists more than anything else.  They are covering up for Obama and Hillary collusion with Ukraine.”

                “Can you back that up?”

                “Yes, the fourth richest guy in Ukraine is a man named Victor Pinchuk.  He donated 25 Million dollars to Hillary Clinton in 2012.”

                “Whoa, that’s a lot of money.”

                “He is the Clinton’s foundation’s largest donor.”

                “Okay but it’s not illegal for a Ukrainian to donate money to a candidate.”

                “Oh, if it was President Trump you would have a problem with that but, objectively, I do agree.  You just got to ask the question why Pinchuk would give that much.  What was he getting in return?”

    

            “Maybe he wanted to fuck her.”

                “Well, I’m not paying anywhere near that for a night with you.  Are you saying that you’re  not more desirable than Hillary Clinton?”

                Stephanie’s head dropped as her jaw opened.  It was such a ridiculous question to her but she understood his point.  “Alright, so why?”

                “It all stems from a NGO called the Atlantic Council.  Among other things, they support a Ukraine in Europe initiative for an independent Ukraine.”

                “What’s wrong with that?  Countries generally want to be independent.”

                “If everything was on the up and up, why did Clinton deny knowing Pinchuk?”

                “Didn’t you say that when Giuliani denied what Parnas said that you believed Giuliani?  Clinton was under no legal pressure.  She had no incentive to lie.”

                “Neither was Pinchuk”

                “Oh, right so it’s a little different but still.”

                “There is an invitation to Pinchuk for a party Clinton had at their house.  Pinchuk was 

invited to Bill Clinton’s 65^th birthday in 2012 and the Clintons were invited to Pinchuk’s birthday.  Pinchuk is even on the guest list.  See, this is called real evidence.  That is why I think Hillary Clinton is lying.”

                “Yea, that’s a pretty damning case.”

                “Let’s talk about the Atlantic Council”

                “Lets” Stephanie begrudgingly responds

                “Also on the Atlantic Council is Dmitri Alperovitch.”

                “That means nothing to me.”

                “He’s the CEO of Crowdstrike.”

                Stephanie’s eyes narrowed, “Why does that name sound familiar?”

                “They were hired to check the DNC servers when the DNC claimed they were hacked.”

                “You don’t believe that either.”

                “If you think you’ve been hacked, why not let the FBI have access to them so they can prosecute?  Why do you hire a private firm with no law enforcement capabilities?”

                “Alex (Larry’s niece) warned me that talking to you is exhausting because you have a way of picking apart what people say and hone in on one inconsistency to discredit them.”

                “Yea, you can’t contradict yourself with me;  I will call you out.”

                “But this is interesting.”

                “I’m not done.  There’s a lot more interesting people that work for the Atlantic Council”

                “Then please continue” the skepticism gone from her voice

                “Evelyn Fakas is also on the Atlantic Council”

                “You’re beginning to make me feel stupid.  I have no idea who that is.”

                “She was a high ranking official in the Department of Defense under Obama.  She was interviewed and said on national television that there was a rush to get intelligence on the Trump team to try to tarnish his election.  When he won, they met to destroy information so it couldn’t be given to President Trump because if they found out what they knew and how they obtained that information, President Trump may destroy their sources and methods that were used to garner the information.”

                “How do you withhold information from the president?  He has the highest security clearance.”

                “Good question.  Perhaps when people tell you that the deep state is real and they entrapped and set up a hoax that the American people believed and kept the country hostage for the better part of three years, you may think they have a point.”

                “Not there yet.”

                “Also on the Atlantic Counsel…”

                “Oh God, it gets worse?”

                “Is Zlochevsky”

                “Sounds Russian.”

                “Ukrainian actually.  He’s the CEO of Burisma.  He technically isn’t on the council but he signed a cooperative agreement with them in January 2017.”

     

           “Isn’t that the company that hired Hunter Biden on their board?”

                “When Hunter had no prior energy experience and they are an energy company.”

                “Basically everyone that hates Trump and has been aiding the Democrats in these scandals work for this NGO”

            

    “Yup”

                “Why though?”

                “Glad you asked.  One of Pinchuk’s companies named Interpipe sells pipelines and materials to Iran.  It’s a company out of Cyprus.”

                “I’m Greek”

                “Me too”

                “Yes, I know because you’re Alex’s uncle.”

                “Anyway, the problem with this is that there were US sanctions on Iran.  They’re not allowed to make a deal worth over a million dollars and Pinchuk’s deal was 1.8 Million.  He needed those sanctions to be lifted so he could have trade links with Iran.”

                There was a serious expression on Stephanie’s face, “This is Obama’s Iran deal?”

                “And who was Secretary of State during this time?”

                “Hillary Clinton?”

                “Yup”

                “Well, you think I’m hot.  I just want you to know that I get really turned on when I’m talking to someone smarter than me.”          

                “Do I make you horny baby or are you just setting me up to say you think I’m a conspiracy theorist?”

                Stephanie smiled and answered the question even though she didn’t say anything.  Instead, she scurried toward Larry and made out with him intensely.  She backed herself onto the bed as she stripped her clothes off and Larry pulled down his boxers.   She lied down raising her feet into the air and Larry massaged her feet as he pinned her knees against her shoulders.  He put a condom on and deeply penetrated behind Stephanie’s vaginal walls.  He humped her for a little while until he let her go.  He said, “Turn around.”

                Stephanie obeyed and Larry slid his penis into Stephanie’s vagina from behind. Stephanie kicked her legs straight back on either side of Larry’s waist.  Larry’s knees got tired so he kicked them in front of him.  Stephanie grabbed a hold of his legs and rested her head on his ankles.  Larry stared down at Stephanie’s glistening round butt and smacked his hands on it squeezing hard as he humped her vigorously.

                Stephanie caught him slowing so knew her chance had come.  She pulled her legs out from around him and turned towards him.  Stephanie ran at Larry and tackled him onto the floor.  She straddled him and rode him hard dangling and smacking Larry’s face with her breasts.  Stephanie kissed Larry’s neck and mouth and avoided any indication from him to stop.  As semen charged out of Larry’s body challenging the latex’s ability to hold back the charge, he squirmed as he needed to stop.  Stephanie, however, didn’t stop riding him hard.  She kept going until she felt him go limp inside her and then got up standing over a panting Larry.  She looked down at him with a devilish smile, “You’re no marathon man now.”

                Larry laughed, “Yea, because sex and running are the exact same thing” he rejoined sarcastically. 

                “You told me you had all night.  Can I spend the night?”

                “Yea”

                “You didn’t say anything about Pelosi.  I think she was kind of pressured into impeaching Trump so you can’t really blame her.”

                “Yes I can. I do agree she was pressured but she still did it.”

                “I’ll give you that.”

                “But as Pelosi was inking impeachment, President Trump was signing a trade deal with China.”

                “At least she took it more seriously than the squad.  It was a somber moment and she was sad when she concluded the vote.”

                “Did you see her when she handed the articles over?”

                “No”

                “She was laughing and handed out pens as souvenirs.”

                “Well, I can’t condone that.”

                “At least you’re not a hypocrite.”

                Larry got up and lied on the bed with his arms to his side and above his head.  Stephanie took the hint and lied on her back with her head resting on his right bicep.  “No, I’m not but is the trade deal really that good?  Our trade deficit is ridiculously lopsided.”

                “Yea, I don’t know why people think that’s a bad thing.  If I have to choose between being the country that receives stuff from other countries because we can afford to buy them thus we don’t have to produce them ourselves and the country that has to produce things to give to the other country, I want to be the first one.”

                “You lost me.”

                “America is doing so well that we can focus on high tech, cutting edge technology like 3D printing and stuff and the small cheap stuff we can just buy from countries like China.”

                “Alright, fine, so free market doesn’t bother you.”

                “I love it.  It’s been very good to me.”

                “And me too now that your success in it has gotten my student loans paid.”

                Larry grinned because he heard the nervousness in her voice thinking that he may back out.  “Now you’re getting it”

                “Do you think they’re going to call witnesses?”

                “Not if Rand Paul can help it”

                “Why?”

                “He threatened them that if they vote to hear witnesses, he’s calling Hunter Biden and Eric Ciaramella, more commonly known as the whistleblower.  Everyone that President Trump wants under oath to answer questions, Rand will propose a vote for and put them in a dangerous situation right before the Republican convention to show them aligning with the Democrats during impeachment.  He told them that they can avoid this rock and a hard place moment by just voting for no witnesses at all.”

                Stephanie frowned, “Don’t you think that shows he has something to hide?”

                “Not according to Nadler.  He called it an open and shut case.  If it’s open and shut, why do they need more witnesses?”

                Stephanie sighed, “I just can’t get one over on you.”

                “Isn’t that why you jumped me?”

                “Yes, it was and you seemed to enjoy it.”

                “I couldn’t credibly deny that.  My penis gave it away.”

                “Literally” she added as she nodded then got serious, “Do you think he’s going to win re-election?’’

                “I don’t know.  It’s too early.  We don’t even know who he’s running against.  I think Bloomberg running hurts him more than the Democrats.  The economy makes it seem like he’s going to do well but the black vote polls make it seem like he’s going to win by a lot.  On the other hand, Ann Coulter conservatives hate him now.  He didn’t finish the wall.  His second chance for non-violent criminals policy helped a lot with the black community but alienated the far-right conservatives that usually didn’t vote but did vote in 2016.  Did the voters he gained on his performance with the economy counteract the votes he lost from the unlikely voters?  I don’t know.  Not to mention, all the people that didn’t vote because they were sure Hillary would win are definitely voting now so he’s got a lot to counteract.” 

                “Sanders and Warren claim that the black jobs have nothing to do with Trump.”

                “You got to be an idiot to believe that’s a coincidence.  What’s the alternative argument?  Where else did it come from?”

                Stephanie tilts her head and contemplates this and admits, “They didn’t really give one.”

                “Because they don’t have one.”

                “I still think a majority of black people vote Democrat.”

                “I agree but the number isn’t 50%, it’s always been 20%.  It’s always been thought that if Republicans ever got 20% of the black vote, then Democrats would never win ever.  According to polls, Trump is polling around 30% of the black vote.”

                “Why?  Because of the non-violent criminals being released?”

                “Not just that but Republicans never entertained the soft bigotry of low expectations.”

                “You think they don’t like preferential treatment?”

                “That is consistent with what black conservatives say.  They are offended that people think they’re incapable of doing as well as white people.  They don’t like things being dumb downed for them and people discussing on what words to use to make it more appetizing for them.  They want to be treated equally.  If you’ve ever seen an affirmative action bake sale, minorities are generally not too happy with the message it sends even though they get to pay less for baked goods.”

                “Good for admission into school, not good for food.”

                “Now they don’t think it’s good for anything.  If you lower standards, you keep them down.  They are beginning to realize that Democrats are still running slave plantations except now the plantation are barrios and ghettoes.”

                “That’s why they want undocumented workers to vote.  They need a new base.”

                “That’s correct”

                Stephanie rolled towards Larry and drapes her hand over his chest, “That’s enough with politics.  I’m super tired, let’s just go to sleep.”

                Larry lowers his arm and cradles Stephanie’s body.  They both fall asleep quickly.  In the morning, Larry has Stephanie log onto her student loan account and he pays the bill in full and hands the phone back to her so she can see the confirmation.  Stephanie swallows hard in shock and looks up at him in disbelief.  She timidly mutters, “Thank you”

                “No problem”

                Stephanie thought that she believed that it really wasn’t.  She went on her tip toes and kissed him on the lips letting him slip his tongue into her mouth one last time.  She then walked out of the hotel room and beamed relieved that the weight of her student loans had been lifted off her shoulders.  Not too long after this, Alex texted Larry, “You know, she would have fucked you for free.”

                “Too much work.”

                “It really wouldn’t have been.”

                “I still got what I wanted and now I’m not just some one night stand but she’ll remember fucking me for life.”

                “I guess that’s one way to look at it.”

                The next day, Larry flew back to his home in Naples, Florida.  As soon as he landed, Chicago and Stephanie were forgotten.  He went to the beach and lied listening to waves crash against the shore.  There was no lactic acid in his muscles as he was completely relaxed.
