Golden Showergate

The news this morning is full of prostitutes, urine and Trump.
The story began making the rounds at Washington dinner parties late last summer: Donald Trump had been caught in a compromising sexual position by Russian intelligence agents during a business trip to Moscow. According to one version, told by a high-ranking Obama administration diplomat, Russian intelligence services, acting on Trump’s well-known obsession with sex, had arranged an evening for him with a bevy of hookers, with hidden cameras and microphones recording all the action. The jaw-dropping detail that topped the story? Trump had somehow engaged in “golden showers,” sex acts involving urine.
Now, the guy getting blackmailed by Russia says it's all a lie. And the country doing the blackmailing says it's all a lie. Of course, the intelligence report says otherwise, but it's become obvious that Donald Trump doesn't use intelligence.

I feel I should point out that there's nothing in the Constitution requiring a compromised president to step down: I mean, a man with principles would, but I think we've established pretty clearly that the GOP didn't elect one of those.

Think about it for a second: if Donald Trump steps down in the face of these golden shower allegations, his brand is dead. He's spent his entire life selling himself. Building up his name as a symbol of wealth and privilege. And if he just admits it's true, he just pisses all that away.

So Trump's going to try and brazen this out, which will just precipitate a constitutional crisis further down the road. Remember that Russia's goal for decades has been to damage the credibility of the United States, in order to increase their own. So now, whatever Russia has will be slowly leaked out, a little bit at a time, by a giggling Vladimir Putin.

What happens now? Well, if the President steps down before taking his oath of office, nothing says that the Vice President-elect gets to take over. By definition, the Vice President was not the person elected President. Ironically, Trump's beauty contest has a clearer plan of succession for a situation like this than the US Constitution.
If the winner, for any reason, cannot fulfill her duties as Miss Universe, the 1st runner-up takes over.
All this time, we thought Trump's weird orange skin was due to cheap bronzer, not to the fact that Russian prostitutes don't hydrate properly.

It's weird that the White House staff now has to study up on removing urine stains. But this whole thing has brought a new light to that infamous solid gold toilet that Trump has.

All this kind of explains that pissy look on Trump's face all the time. Do you think anybody ever be willing to shake Trump's hand from now on? I'm betting that sales of hand sanitizer in DC are going to go through the roof.

So, it's time to start a new birther theory: Donald Trump has always claimed to have been born in Queens. But it looks now like he might have been closer to Flushing.

A Business Doing Pleasure in Canada

This time next year, winter vacationers will have a harder time choosing where to go … Florida (warm and semi-tropical) or Canada (hot). No, I am not talking climate change. On Friday, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the nation’s anti-prostitution laws (source).

The high court deemed all laws prohibiting brothels, soliciting clients in public, and living off the profits of prostitution to be unconstitutional and overly broad [no pun intended].

The 9-0 Supreme Court ruling is a victory for sex workers seeking safer working conditions. The court held that current laws violated the guarantee to life, liberty and security of the person. However, the ruling will not take effect immediately because it gives Parliament up to a year to respond with new legislation.


Prostitution is legal in Canada, but many activities associated with prostitution are classified as criminal offenses.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, writing on behalf of the court, said Canada's social landscape has changed since 1990, when the Supreme Court upheld a ban on street solicitation.

"These appeals and the cross-appeal are not about whether prostitution should be legal or not," she wrote. "They are about whether the laws Parliament has enacted on how prostitution may be carried out pass constitutional muster. I conclude that they do not."

Meanwhile …

A woman went to her priest with a problem. "Father, I have two female parrots, and they only know how to say:  Hi, we're prostitutes. Wanna have some fun?

"That's dreadful!" exclaimed the priest. "But I think I can help. Bring your female parrots over to my house, and I will put them in a cage with my two male parrots, whom I have taught to praise the Lord. My parrots will teach your parrots the righteous path.

The next day, the woman brought her female parrots to the priest's house. His two male parrots were holding rosary beads and quietly praying in their cage. The priest put her female parrots in the cage with his male parrots. Sure enough, the birds said: "Hi, we're prostitutes. Wanna have some fun?

One male parrot exclaimed to the other, "Ditch the rosary beads!  Our prayers have been answered!"
