Satire from The Borowitz Report
Eris, Greek Goddess of Chaos, Confirms That She Wanted Trump to Be President
By Andy Borowitz
MT. OLYMPUS (The Borowitz Report)—Partially confirming Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s theory of divine intervention in the 2016 election, Eris, the Greek goddess of chaos, discord, and strife, revealed on Friday that she had wanted Donald J. Trump to be President.
Speaking from her temple on Mt. Olympus, the usually reclusive deity said that Trump was “far and away” her first choice to be President in 2016.
“I’d been following his career for years,” the goddess of disorder and ruin said. “The bankruptcies, the business failures. There was a lot for me to love.”
She complained that the media had given Vladimir Putin “way too much credit” for Trump’s ascent, asserting, “Who do you think made Putin President of Russia?”
Looking ahead to the 2020 election, Eris said that she was officially undecided about which candidate to back for President, but that she was leaning toward Howard Schultz. “What a shit show that would be,” she said.

Observers of The Don claim that Chaos is his natural element - he thrives in it & uses it to his advantage.
Shortly after the '16 Election an Uber-Leftie I know IRL became aware of this and figured the best way to overcome The Don would be to make his Presidency as smooth & contention free as possible
He predicted that situation would bore The Don senseless
History doesn't reveal its alternatives and we'll never know.
But the Uber-Leftie may've been onto something.
'Am I going to pardon him? I hadn't thought of it,' Trump told reporters, adding that he thought Stone was a 'nice guy' and well liked
Trump also tried to distance himself from Stone, saying he 'was not involved in my campaign in any way,' except at the beginning and before he announced
Stone officially worked for Trump's campaign in 2015 and for under two months, though continued to stay in contact with its top people
He was convicted in November of witness tampering and lying to Congress, crimes related to the Wikileaks release of a top Clinton campaign aide's emails
Running Sleepy
m - I guess Trump is thoroughly used to chaos. He sure creates too much of it.
M - witches aren't all bad. Sometimes they can be fun;
AND YOUR LI'L DOG, TOO :dancing_dog
That's EXACTLY the point made by those observers of The Don.
Except from his viewpoint, can there BE too much?
Chaos is to The Don as a Briar Patch is to Br'er Rabbit ...
It may be that with "Impeachment" shipwrecked & facing Sleepy
What the Hell!
They might as well give it a shot - Trying to throw him into his Chaos/Briar Patch
