Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 19, 2024

Corporate speak for “I intend to lie my assets off and blame you if I get caught.”

Not to worry about the FTC. The Republican Supreme Court is fixin’ to fix it for you.

“Before you leave today”… I don’t see a clock, but I’m willing to bet it’s about 15 minutes before quitting time.

They have different rules than the rest of us. The Trump trials prove it. Anyone else would have already been serving a long sentence in federal prison.

Twenty-some years ago, it was “downsized” or “rightsized” or “being made available to the industry”.

Called the ‘fast lateral shuffle.’ Just put it off on someone else.

Or learn how to brown nose to the new boss.

Hey buddy, the truth is always plausible.

I was having an argument with a MAGA-T several years ago who was trying to rationalize his vote for an easy to spot liar, grifter, coward, fraud and corrupt, unfit, incompetent Russian dupe because he wanted someone to “run the country like a business “.

I told him fine. Since his house was too far out of the prime service area, it wasn’t profitable to keep supplying services to him. In fact, his entire Third World freeloading ****hole Red State was underperforming so we were going to put it up for sale. His grandmother in the nursing home wasn’t supplying any ROI so she needed to be out by 5pm and looking ahead, his mother was on the list as we have to get leaner and deliver more shareholder value.

Then, of course, there are those business men who go bankrupt four times. “Running the country like a business “ is one of those specious ideas we Americans have because we spend more time on our local sports team than what goes on in our country.

Is that Norman Krasner? Uhhhhhhh

“Business” is just another name for “Organized Crime”

He’ll have to punch it down for those idiots to understand

… and consider the benefits of becoming a witness for the prosecution.

That punch up may be problematic.

Another a s s h o l e political rabble rouser out of the wood work on a non-political comic…

I hate to upset a lot of people but the best we can possibly hope for is a hefty fine in New York, maybe barred from doing business and the slight chance of house arrest in Florida. He will almost certainly be convicted but won’t spend one night in prison. Worse case, he wins and pardons himself from the federal charges. Too bad he can’t do anything about the fraud.

I’m sure that I’m right on this, but please correct me if not. It is illegal for anyone, you, me, the dog catcher or the president to have classified documents in their possession. period. A president can view them, but not have them. And no, he can’t declassify them simply by saying so or thinking about it. Doesn’t work that way.

Many years ago, just re-entering the work force as a admin/do-all in a two-person company I left when I opened the mail one day and found a letter from the IRS, the contents of which made me believe that, in the position I occupied, I could be held responsible for any, um, shortages on my employer’s part. I quit very shortly thereafter.

Not relevant to today’s, but see today’s (Jan. 19) Candorville.

That will heat up the old company rumor mill.

Line of witnesses to roll over on the boss forms on the right.

Oh, and while you’re up, get me a beer from the fridge, will you?
