Kingmaker: a dark political ficlet

[lavendertook]

Just wrote a short ficlet about a meeting between Trump and his handlers November 9th and what the dynamic might be. It's pretty dark. Trigger warning for PG bondage imagery.



That little putz Pence telling Christie where to go. Donald couldn’t get the image out of his head--that look on doofus Christie’s face like Pence just put a collar around his neck and tightened the leash. Ha! He couldn’t stop chuckling to himself as he walked in the room. That little tight-ass Pence was walking over hand extended, and Donald clenched down hard on that hand—just to remind him who’s boss.

Before he finished greeting Pence with, “That’s my little man,” Comey was beside him, quietly speaking, “We have what the IRS found and the deals you made for those Russian bank accounts. We will impeach you the second you make one move we haven’t approved. Remember, I am the Kingmaker.”

Donald felt the shock collar close around his neck as he spotted Paul Ryan. “It’s a good look on you, Donald.” Ryan smiled winningly as he shook Trump’s hand then turned to Pence, “What’s next on the agenda, Mike?”

God, that's chilling. *shivers*

They are all scary people. Pence is scarier than Trump. I pray the GOP will not be able to work together long and infighting will undo their ability to get much done and help the Dem's unseat some of them in 2018.

Ha! Wouldn't that be great if it was the truth? And maybe it's not so far off :-)))

I dunno. Pence is scarier than Trump--we wouldn't be better off with him impeached, but I pray that they will prey on each other enough to make them less effective in preying on us.

Very & scarily prescient. I believe that's more or less exactly what's going to happen.

Thank you, bb. I think it may have already happened and Trump is totally impeachable, but Pence is even scarier. Comey stole Hillary's win and our democracy from people ripe to lose it. I hope the infighting will render them dysfunctional and hope they can't work together long. And I need to go for a swim and start functioning.

Pence scares me a lot. Sometimes I think Trump doesn't even believe half of what he says (he's an inciter in a lot of ways), but I do believe Pence believes it all. *nods*

Yeah, exactly.
