Hocus POTUS


Comedians and talk show hosts are no doubt overjoyed to see "special master" enter the lexicon, thanks to a U.S. federal court ruling that the government files stashed at Mar-a-Lago need to be handled by an impartial expert on what should speak for itself when it comes to national security. Could this be the delay Trump is looking for to get his monsters elected to the House and the Senate in order to "encourage" his return to the highest office in the land?

I expect at least a three day run of "special master" jokes, maybe a "special master" SNL skit and its t-shirt spin-off. Notice that the term is not capitalized, like Lord Protector was for the Cromwells back in mid-17th century Britain? Maybe when the U.S. achieves certified totalitarian status Special Master will come to mean more than an auditor of classified government documents, a title befitting of what was once called President of the United States.
