Consequential

Michael Flynn will plead guilty today to one charge of lying to the FBI.  This is part of a plea deal.  He will plead guilty to a relatively trivial in exchange for something.  The news anchors are already so excited that they are not even pretending to be objective.  They are assuming that this development will be "consequential" to the Trump Presidency.   If anyone has the dirt that can bring down, it is Michael Flynn. I am not in the least bit excited.  We have seen this happen before.  We have seen an action that we attribute will be the end of this Presidency.   That day has been referred to as "every day of his Presidency".  This will also come and go.   This Presidency has been like the worst and longest Law and Order episode in history. I think there is only one person who can bring down the Trump Presidency.  Melania.  I think we need to appeal to her widely and publicly to leave him.   ...

Trump leaves on helicopter for Thanksgiving Vacation

As the former reality star who is currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (sometimes) boarded a helicopter with his third wife and 5th child, he paused for less than 2 minutes to answer questions from the press.  About Roy Moore.   Well, Trump said that the most important thing was that the Democratic candidate should not win because his record was awful.  As for Moore, he noted that Roy Moore had denied the allegations and we should listen to him.  Just to recap, Democratic Senator Al Franken was accused by one woman in inappropriate contact.  Franken delivered what happened to be a thoughtful apology for his actions and took full responsibility for his actions.  In context, Franken was a comedian at the time.  I'm not excusing his behavior at the time, not is Franken, just giving some context.  Trump basically felt that Franken needed to be tarred and feathered and publicly stoned.  Roy Moore is a Republican candidate for Senat...

Kellyanne takes a knee

Poor Kellyanne Conway.   The media is having a frenzy about her kneeling on the couch in the Oval Office while black College Presidents were meeting with POTUS in celebration of Black History Month. I think she is a brilliant political strategist.   She manages to create distractions for the media to cover rather than focusing on anything that Trump says.   I don't think she is given enough credit.   After all, she was the mastermind behind alternative facts.    People are calling this a huge breech of decorum in the White House.   American, I have news for you.   You are way past this.  Decorum or anything resembling same hasn't existed for the last 40 days.   You have bigger problems that what poor Kellyanne does.    She will continue to try and get the media to focus on her guffaws to distract any attention away from her boss.  That likely will work for a little while.   However, America, you still ...
