 This week on Serious Trouble, we introduce a new recurring character —- Bob Menendez!  Will he be a fan favorite or a Cousin Oliver?  Tune in to find out.

Also Ken asks if Menendez’ excuse is he’s Cuban and Cuomo’s is he’s Italian, do we need some sort of chart of what crimes different nationalities do?  Or  . . . Is that problematical?  Should we not do that?

 @a01dc49e umm, what crimes did Cuomo do, besides humiliating #TFG daily during the pandemic?🤔 
 @a01dc49e I don’t Menendez has the staying power to be a main character.  His crimes are to obvious and his support is non-existent.  He’s more a monosyllabic monster of the week.  “Behold the coming of BOB!” 
 @a01dc49e 
Glad to see you back here. Hope you've been well and either occupied by things that pay better or things that are more enjoyable than social media. (But not both at the same time. No one deserves that much happiness.) 
 @a01dc49e I can’t be the first to mention that Hunter Biden’s allegations  about the hacking of an ‘external hard drive’ are most likely about his iCloud account. That’s also the California connection. 
 @a01dc49e While the Bob Menendez is fun to watch, I'm more interested in the new from the Trump Trial in NY that his lawyers didn't mark off the box for a jury trial?  ?!?!?!?!  Is this really an "oh shit" moment for his team?  Or a cynical ploy to get the result tossed afterwards on appeal?
