What’s Next on the P01135809 Show?

I like to keep certain numbers around. The most important is the number which I use to verify the debit card. I also keep the number issued to me for my gun license. Of course, there’s also the number on my driver’s license and my car plate.

But none of those numbers equals the number I just got from my sister: P01135809.

That’s Donald Trump’s official Fulton County inmate number!

As a matter of fact, I think I’ll stop referring to him by name and just use the number.

We also have a number for one of the other defendants, Cathy Latham, which is how much she has raised on GoFundMe to cover the costs of her legal defense which she says will run a half-million bucks.

Right now, Cathy’s .013 of her goal, so she only has another .987 to go. On the other hand, more than 1,800 people have said a prayer for her on her GoFundMe page and maybe she’ll use that number when she stands up in front of the judge and asks for an early release.

When the first indictment against P01135809 was unsealed in New York, there was something momentous and even historical about the event. Now the whole thing is beginning to play like a broken record and is taking on elements of the absurd.
