3/5 . Compared to plotting to destroy Western Democracy, this is just um... piddle. But could it explain the Dumpster's willingness to grovel to Sputum. Has Sputnik has been grooming him for many years? So Dumoster thinks he's projecting strength, when we can all see how WEAK he is. #WEAK #fakenews

2/5 If President Sputum's spooks recorded the unedifying episode is he now using this "kompromat" material to blackmail U.S. President Dumpster Fire. Dumster, a notorious sex offender, predictably denied everything. Significantly Putin has not denied any of it. www.vox.com/2018/7/16/17...

Did William Burroughs predict and in part cause the mess we're in? And can he offer old/new ways out? If ‘Omen SulkX’ is the Ugly Spirit, is Burroughs the X-orcist? Or is it all just X-rated fun & fiddle as the Earth goes up in smoke? photo by Ian Sommerville: WSB on Tor 1973 #NothingIsTrue
