Down Goes the Orange Caudillo, Up Comes Bobblehead Mike

Holy Kremlin! Could it be?

  The curtain may be about to descend on Trump's acid reign over the US of A. Just the other day, The New York Times released a barn-burner of a journalistic piece. (Dateline: Friday, January 11th.)  Apparently, His Orangeness's unceremonious eighty-sixing of FBI director James Comey, triggered an ongoing investigation focused on possible collusion between Trump's coterie and Moscow --- which could possibly ensnare The Reverse Raccoon, himself. Anyway, here's a link to the article; you be the judge. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/politics/fbi-trump-russia-inquiry.html   (click anywhere on this address: the link will appear below)

If this scenario actually unfolds, guess who takes charge of the Oval Office!  Wherever Mr. Trump might be, standing close by is what, at first blush, might appear to be a hard-wired lamppost with a burnt-out bulb. However, whenever the Chief Executive twitches his lips, The Lamppost can be seen bobbling his globe in affirmation. At that moment, it becomes evident that The Lamppost, despite its burnt-out bulb, has characteristics that are vaguely human. It's none other than Mike Pence! Bobblehead Mike!

Bobblehead dolls in the image of the Vice President are available online. I'm not about to invest in one, however; they're not cheap. But I can still make use of my warped imagination: no charge!

Envision one holding forth on a bookshelf or coffee table. Plop one of those li'l gyrating hula dolls down beside it; I mean perilously close! Bear in mind that the real Mike Pence cannot ever be alone in the same room with a woman other than his wife <gasp>! (Incidentally, he addresses his beloved spouse as "Mother.") Yet here he is, sharing the same, immediate peace of real estate with a grass-skirted cutie! Mother would be very, very angry!

Just in case that scenario seems too risque or offensive, I have a tamer alternative proposal. Just mount the Mike Pence bobblehead on the rear window ledge inside any sedan, facing aft, of course. This would enable Mike Pence to do what he does best. Looking backwards!
