up arrow Frenemies List

Your JoeDog has been following the President-elect on Twitter for quite some time. He’s a Howard Stern fan and Trump was part of the Howard Stern universe. Then something unexpected happened to this frequent Stern Show guest. He won the presidency. Yep, saw that coming….

So while it’s now possible that a tweet from atop a gilded toilet could touch off a nuclear holocaust and get us all killed, there another more awesome possibility. See, Your JoeDog’s greatest disappointment was his exclusion from Richard Nixon’s Enemies List. He was very young when Nixon left office but that guy was assholish enough to put a child on his Enemies List. It could have happened! Sadly, it never happened. Now according to news reports, Trump blocks people from his Twitter feed. That’s the contemporary equivalent to an Enemies List. Could Your JoeDog get himself blocked???

Now anyone can get on the Presidential Twitter feed and throw some F-bombs and get himself blocked. I was determined to play it clean. Full-frontal snark! I wanted blocked for getting under his skin, like Nixon’s enemies got under his. So how’s that effort going? Sadly, not so good….

It probably wasn’t an intern who liked that tweet. This appeared in my notifications while Trump was in the midst of a Tweet storm. He was probably scrolling replies and read the first part of a compound thought. “You won the Electoral College by a landslide…” LIKE “… if by ‘landslide’ you mean ‘one of the all time slimmest margins’.” Attention to detail isn’t a trait Americans look for in a President.
