Yeah, Totally Lock Him Up

By Miss Kubelik

Benedict Donald, mobster that he is (and who we're sure has had people killed before), must have swaggered off to that baseball game last night thinking he'd be greeted like a hero for knocking off al-Baghdadi.

Never mind that it was our special forces who executed the raid, that Trump's screw-up of Syria made the operation more difficult, and that al-Baghdadi blew himself up before anyone could get to him. It's a slam-dunk that Mr. Fragile Ego was preening, champing at the bit for the adulation of the crowd to wash over him (and Moose & Squirrel — but not his 13-year-old son, who somehow didn't merit the once-in-a-lifetime experience of a World Series game).

Instead, Trump was greeted with boos and chants of "Lock him up!" Plus this banner (above) flying over right field. Look closely. Delicious.

And yet the inside-the-Beltway talking heads were tut-tutting about the boos and chants this morning. Like we cats needed a reminder of how much they despise Hillary Clinton.

We have a message for the punditheads: Trump threatened Clinton with jail — to her face — in one of their 2016 Presidential debates. Hillary Clinton is a former Secretary of State, former US Senator and former First Lady. So don't get all weepy about a President (who calls you "the enemy of the people," by the way) having to hear a few hostile boos from a non-curated crowd. You haven't learned a thing, talking heads, and we cats dump our dirty litter boxes in your underwear drawers.
