What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Give them time. It will be an automated circular call.

ITS YOUR PHONE CALL NOT OURS

Dear Mr Yi,

Please accept this computer-generated letter quoting in extenso things you already know, and absolving me of any political responsibility. Wouldn't want that from an elected official.

Sincerely,

Generic Republican.

I knew how things work going in, being the old savvy Washington hand that I am.  Some junior flunky records it as one entry in the appropriate column of a spreadsheet and picks out the most appropriate pre-generated response.  I wasn't hoping to start up a lively back and forth email exchange with old Chuck.  I wanted to get entered in that spreadsheet.

Let me call upon your savvy: what would happen if you called him and his junior computerized flunky on it?

What do you mean by "call him on it?"  Telephone his office?

[LaCroix]

the person receiving the message thinks, "what a fucking asshole," and that's the end of that

[Oexmelin]

What do you mean by "call him on it?"  Telephone his office?

I mean saying that you are disappointed that he basically admits he can do nothing, and has no influence outside of the boundaries of his office. Would that disrupt the script?

[Oexmelin]

Why do you hate freedom, Lacroix?

I assume that would change the operation from "record call, send out form letter," to "deal with psycho."

I call Sherrod Browns's office and breathe heavily.

Another ailment

Is there an consulting organization of some kind that prepares canned letters and sells them to every senator?  Or is the same work being duplicated 100 times?

When I was an undergrad I was an intern at the Archives for UWyo.  I got to play around with former Senator Gale Mcgee (who looked fabulous in a leisure suit).  They had a box called the "nut box" filled with all the weird detritus that whackos sent in.

I've been on the other line having to receive those types of calls
