Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Rupetryyk dazzled the cul-de-sac with his extensive collection of pre-“Maude” Bea Arthur memorabilia.
One of my favorite moments from the first six months of President Trump’s first term was when he gave the loathsome James Comey his walking papers and removed him as head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It felt as if Trump’s dream of draining the Swamp was going to happen. There were some hiccups along the way with that, of course. Still, getting rid of Comey was a positive thing for America.
Comey didn’t have much to offer the United States when he was in office, he certainly has no reason to be part of any conversation now. Unfortunately, he isn’t aware of that.
We haven’t heard from him for a while, and it seems that the lack of attention was getting to Stretch. This is from Victoria:
It doesn’t get much more desperate and deranged than this. A former FBI director appears to have called for the assassination of the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. At least that looks like the message being telegraphed by the nation’s former top lawman on his social media accounts.
Trust me, he did. Victoria has all of the details. Comey tried to wriggle out of it by playing dumb. He may be 70 different ways of awful, but dumb he is not. He knew what he was doing. Everything this guy does is a Trump Derangement Syndrome-inspired cry for help. He’s also an attention whore of the first order.
Well, he may end up wishing that the spotlight were somewhere else.
Victoria wrote a follow-up post last night:
The Secret Service, Trump family, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard don’t find the message to get rid of POTUS all that humorous.
In fact, Gabbard is calling for the former FBI cirector to be arrested and jailed for his threat against President Trump. Yes, she said it.
As I reported in “Did Former FBI Director James Comey Just Call for Trump To Be Murdered?” Comey posted on his Instagram page a collection of seashells spelling out “86 47.” Anyone above a certain IQ has heard the term 86—a call to get rid of someone—and knows that 47 refers to Trump 47.
DNI Gabbard really isn’t amused. The conversation that she had with Jesse Watters (which Victoria chronicles) was intense. It’s a good thing she’s on our side now.
It’s sad what depths those afflicted with TDS will sink to. The former head of the FBI is now a garden variety lunatic social media troll, and completely comfortable with egging on violence against President Trump. This is a 64-year-old man we’re talking about, not some Adderall-ridden kid in his 20s.
Comey definitely deserves a visit from the Secret Service. As I have written many times in recent months, the mentally unstable Trump haters who keep fomenting civil unrest and violence against the president really, really need to start facing consequences.
Seeing the former FBI chief in handcuffs might get some of the other idiots to calm down.
The “Five O’Clock Somewhere” 5th Anniversary Extravaganza
In the early days of the Wuhan Chinese Bat Flu plague, the Townhall Media Mothership asked me and my good friend and partner in thought crime Stephen Green if we would co-host a live chat for our VIP Gold subscribers. We had planned on doing it for a few weeks during lockdown, then life would get back to normal.
Oops.
Three weeks have turned into five years, and “Five O’Clock Somewhere” has become a worldwide phenomenon (one of our stalwarts joins us from Germany, so that’s a legit claim). We throwing an online party today, with a guest list that includes such Townhall Media luminaries as Ed Morrissey, Paula Bolyard, Cam Edwards, Larry O’Connor, Chris Queen, Kevin Downey Jr., Storm Paglia, and, wisdom tooth willing, Kurt Schlichter. If you are a VIP Gold or Platinum member we would love to see you there at 3 PM EDT. VodkaPundit will be posting the details on the homepage
We hope to wrap it up before the 10th anniversary show.

The Mailbag of Magnificence
We’ll start with a short note from Stuart, who was responding to my mention of Andrew Cuomo’s political resurrection despite having a body count:
Dear Kruiser: whats worse there is nobody running against him who can get elected thats slightly sane.Adams with all his faults isnt going to get close. and neither is Sliwa the rest are Loons
As my good friend and podcast partner Kevin Downey Jr. is fond of saying, Democrats always fail upwards. If Attila the Hun were alive today and living in the United States, he’d be a successful Democratic politician.
Here’s a fun one from Randall:
I think I saw Cacophony and Prevarication open for The Plasmatics in the late 70’s*. Though to be fair, that period comes with a bit of self-created haze.
Randall
*I did see The Plasmatics open for KISS, though!
Cacophony and Prevarication were great until they hit their “alt-banjo” phase.
Robert writes:
I really enjoy reading your daily message. However, I am often too dense to understand that first paragraph. Would you consider following the first paragraph with a second paragraph explaining the first paragraph?
Thanks
You’re fine Robert. There’s nothing to get. That’s the point. Rather, that’s the non-point. It’s called the Sine Qua Non Sequitur and it’s about to have its own book.
We’ll finish with this from Dave:
Kruiser
The MB is my first “goto” in the morning, Chris and KD do admirable work filling in and I enjoy them both however – the MB belongs to Kruiser. While I like to think I’m more in tune with politics than the average Joe, more sympathetic I can not be for you to have to delve into it as much as you do on a daily basis. At times I’m reminded of the great George Gobel line – “Did you ever feel like the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes”?
Keep up the good work!!
Thank you, Dave! I do appreciate it when my friends Chris and Kevin pinch-hit for me when I’m traveling. I’m able to deal with politics for work so much because I don’t think about politics at all when I’m not working. It’s easier than one might think. I will try to keep up the good work and that Lonesome George quote is a classic!
Thanks to everyone who wrote in this week!
