So, it's a dark and stormy night, and I'm sitting here thinking about the old TV show, "Flipper", because current events are reminding me of that show. There are many comparisons. Both current events and Flipper are sad stories with a lot of
cruelty.

"The Hidden Cruelty Behind the Show Flipper"

"...and they were all female. Their names were Kathy, Susie, Scotty, Patty, and Squirt. Females were used because they were less aggressive and looked better on tv (males had scars from altercations with other dolphins). All five dolphins lived in
captivity where they likely displayed signs of stress, including swimming in circles and floating lifelessly on the water due to boredom."

"Kathy, the dolphin used most for the role of Flipper, was one day found covered in black blisters and barely moving. Her trainer Ric O’Barry was called in and Kathy soon died in his arms. According to O’Barry, Kathy was depressed due to the
unnatural conditions of captivity and forced herself to stop breathing. He ruled the death a suicide since dolphins are known for their high intelligence and self-awareness. Shook by this experience, O’Barry left the animal entertainment industry to
start the Dolphin Project and continues to dedicate his life to ending dolphin captivity.

For a guy who only hires he best orange jesus is sure having a lot of problems with people he hired.

"Trump’s ex-lawyers become prosecutors’ star witnesses"

"Ty Cobb, another White House lawyer from earlier in Trump’s administration who helped him navigate special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, said he is not surprised that many ex-members of Trump’s legal team have found themselves in legal trouble.

“He’s had lawyers abandon their ethics for him for decades,” he said. “And he puts enormous pressure on lawyers. That’s why Trump went through a lot of lawyers, in my own view.”

“Trump has no ability to be grateful,” he added. “Gratitude is something that does not exist in his narcissistic world. So, the fact that these people are sacrificing their lives, reputations, and careers, that will not register with him,” he
said."

My current favorite flipper is Mark Meadows, because he's a big fish who was right in the middle of everything.

"Ex-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows granted immunity, tells special counsel he warned Trump about 2020 claims: Sources

Meadows said Trump was "dishonest" on election night, according to sources."

I'm shocked, shocked I tell ya', that there would be "dishonesty" in orange jesus's place.
