All I want for Christmas is Trump in prison and so I've composed this version of Lennon's Imagine:

Imagine Trump in prison

I wonder if you can

his orange hair and jumpsuit

and fading phoney tan

Imagine all the inmates

laughing at his brand

You may think I'm a dreamer

but I'm hoping that we can

put this psycho doink in prison

and let justice rule the land

Perfect! Just the laugh I needed this morning. A Christmas present no container shop delay can postpone!

"no container ship delay..."

Thanks Ned! Although it's not impossible that Trumps ego could block the Suez and back up the works.

Since Trump used to live in NYC, I think it would be appropriate to put him in Rikers, the biggest prison in the world and the filthiest.

Though he couldnтАЩt spell it, wouldnтАЩt Guantanamo be a fitting place for this terrorist?

He couldn't handle the truth!

Absolutely! He couldn't get out of Guantanamo.

My preference to.

Hear, hear, Richard! Think I read very recently that Rikers is in structural jeopardy тАФ all the more reason to let the iDJT crumble along with it.

In Fine Print, to compensate the nation and others for crimes and all civil complaints too numerous to cost, a global response to reduce legal expenses. Liquidation of all Trump Properties, world wide.

Somewhere in low earth orbit would be more secure.

Sung by the Boys Choir of Harlem?

We'll know we've made progress when it's sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Pope Francis might have it sung by the Sistine Chapel Choir, but the American 'more Catholic than the Pope' bishops would ban it.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir, no, no, lin. That would take us back, back, back and 'every morning, students from each of New York City's five boroughs pull on red plaid uniforms and head to an unusual school in East Harlem'.(NY Times)

But were the MTC to be singing Gilco's lovely song, that would be progress indeed. We would have pulled them forward rather than they pushing us "back, back, back."

But there is a tax funded school nightmare today - the Pentecostal 'Teen Challenge' system of "shadow penal colonies" spotlighted by Rachel Aviv in The New Yorker.

I knew about this story but didn't read this article. Thank you. lin, Let's consider the following: first, the Boys Choir of Harlem, then the Gay Mens Chorus, followed by the sisters of the Holy Ghost and lastly, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. That sounds like a spectacular program and operatic at the end.

Personally, I think the тАЬladiesтАЭ at Aqua in Key West would do a superior job. Aretha and Bette, Barbra and Diana.

No, by the sisters of the Holy Ghost.

Can Trump take his golf cart and Diet Coke to prison? Lawyer Guliani (his cell mate) would argue that denying these would be an тАШarbitrary and capriciousтАЩ hardship.

They're in a No Exit cell, which will be streaming for all to see.

But Big Guli has no license to practice law, I believe.

That guy's lost it for sure!

Screw prison, that will take way too long to achieve. And will partiality mute his base. No what is needed is for that man to sercome to his lifestyle of bad junk food on the back 9 of his golf course. A widow maker MI would do the job nicely. Yes there are others out ready to take his place. And true some are a as bad if not worse. But it would give the spineless Republicans a chance to rein in the wackadoo fraction that has siezed control, of the republican party. At the moment it is far more likely he could have a massive MI, then land in prison.

Trump personifies the Republican party. He trimmed his sails to where the wackadoo wind was already blowing.

Anything that works and will give us time to recover.
