So what do you do after working in Trump's White House?

Go to work for Fox "News?"

Become a hack at a wingnut "think tank," crack-house such as The Heritage Foundation, or the American Enterprise Institute?

Get your own online site that hires people with rabies?

Apply for a carnival job as someone who bites the heads off live chickens?

I read an article yesterday about Trump searching for new people for his staff and cabinet. What fool would accept a job from him. Your life and name would be ruined forever.

Yet, there are fools who want their moment of "glory" who don't understand that they are on the road to self-destruction.

"Let's see . . . yeah, your resume looks pretty good. I'll check your references of course, but there's no reason not to think that you're the frontrunner for the position."

"That's great, sir. I'm really looking forward to starting here."

"One little thing, though . . ."

"Yes?"

"In your employment history. There's a gap between the beginning of 2017 and the middle of 2018. Were you on hiatus or something?"

"Oh, that. Heh heh. {Gulps nervously} It's a little embarrassing."

"Tell me. Please."

"Well, I don't like to talk about it very much."

"Yes?"

"I was . . . I was, uhmmm."

"Spit it out."

"I was in jail. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Jail."

"Oh! Well, our company is quite good about second chances and we believe that if you've paid your debt to society, you're entitled to pick up your life again."

"That's very enlightened."

"Thanks. Now, the position we're considering you for requires a certain level of, ah, trustworthiness. You weren't in jail for fraud or embezzling or anything?"

"Oh no! Nothing like that . . . It was . . . well--"

"You know, I just thought of something. Your name rings a bell, and I just made the connection."

"Connection?"

"Weren't you in the Trump White House?"

"NO! Hand to God, it was jail. Child molesting! Ripped off a food pantry! Drunkenly plowed into a busload of nuns!"
