Long Lasting Lies

 Any of y'all remember the Steele Dossier from around the time of Felon47's first run for office??  As I recall, the basics were that a British intel weenie had acquired the Russian "kompromat" they had on Trump.  Among the things it was alleged to contain was clear evidence of the Felon being peed on by a couple of Russian hookers.

I read or heard several times that the "evidence" had to be false because Trump is a germophobe and that his obsessive aversion to germs would have made sure that never happened.  TBF it was a pretty good argument.  If one accepts the premise that he was a germophobe, then the acts described seem pretty damn unlikely.

Back when I was in the Navy, we got briefings when we were heading to different countries.  We were told about local customs, places to avoid going and things to avoid doing to stay out of trouble.  Things like the idea that a thumbs up might not mean the same thing in a different culture than it does in the USA is but one example of that.

In one of those briefings (or possibly in a somewhat less formal setting) I was given a little bit of warning about Arab culture.  I was told that historically in that culture one used one's left hand to wipe one's ass and the right hand was used for everything else.  It was, I was informed, extremely insulting to offer one's left hand - to the point that it was a good way to start a fight (if not a war).

Soooooooooo, Felon47 is in the Oval Office with the Saudi Crown Prince - who ordered the killing and dismemberment of a legal American resident - and he reaches over with his right hand and grabs MBS's left hand while proudly proclaiming that he doesn't care where that hand has been.  Trump clearly and loudly stated that he did not care where that hand had been. I cannot accept the idea that was a random statement.  It seems to indicate at least some level of awareness of what he was doing/saying in reference to Arab culture.

What exactly am I supposed to believe??  Does the WH never brief the POTUS on culture issues?  Has Saudi Arabia issued a royal decree mandating the use of toilet paper??  Did they make the order retroactive?  (no, I do not have any idea how that might work)  MBS neither proffered his left hand nor attempted to reciprocate by taking the Felon's left hand. (I only watched clips so, in theory it could have happened and I missed it.) 

I know that some of you have limited experience with the generalized mental effects of an active erection or what one is willing to do in anticipation of having said active erection addressed so, I am here to help.  If he was willing to do unclean things sitting in the Oval Office with witnesses, it will be a tough slog to convince me that he was more restrained and circumspect in a hotel room with a couple of hookers and a hard on.

One does not get smarter whilst following an erection around.  One's decision making is not made more logical nor more moral through the stimulation of sexual desire.  Basically, if you want a guy to be dumber, turn him on.

So tell me now, which is the lie?  Why should I believe that the guy who grabbed the shit hand is a germophobe?  Why should I believe that he got over his obsessive behavior in just a few years out of office??  Is the barehanded taking shit from an evil monarch's hand really easier to accept than the idea that a hooker peed on him?

Felon47's actions in the Oval Office with MBS were clearly not those of an active germophobe.  Now you must ask yourself, did he ever have that particular brand of OCD or, is there any evidence of how and when was he cured?  I know what I think the answer is.
