To the aides, consultants, assistants, deputies and other Trump underlings dreaming of

being elevated to "Groom of the Stool": stick a fork in him---he's done.

In a mere handful of months, your Golden Gaffe will no longer be worshipped. He will have been evicted---forcibly, I hope---from our White House and---let this sink in deeply---he will no longer have any authority to cover your ass. If you assist him in his efforts to leave only scorched earth behind him, you will have earned a new title: "accomplice".

And, just as surely as "Tiny Hands" is going go wind up in a federal institution of some kind---a penitentiary or psychiatric hospital---we are also going to know what you're eating and where you're sleeping for several years. OR---

---you could practice decency for a change and refuse to do anything Trump orders that is illegal, immoral or even questionable. For good measure, you could retain competent counsel to assist you in claiming "whistleblower" protections and make like a canary---sing, sing, sing.

You may already be deep in the well of complicity, but there is still a small circle of light up above that offers the chance of escape. That circle will continue to shrink until January. And, then, it will be forever closed.
