Comey Panic
All of a sudden the committee chairmen who didn’t want Comey to testify for fear of offending Trump, can’t get to him fast enough. Why? Ratings, photo ops, attention. Comey has selected carefully the senate intelligence committee because they are the only committee behaving non-partisan and are not hostile. The judiciary committee is full of […]
Trump, The Russians and Money
This is merely speculation but fun and not so far fetched. As they don’t say, “you can make this shit up.” The famous certified letter stating that Trump has no Russian income with two exceptions omits one crucial thing. After screwing the banks with his Atlantic City bankruptcies, no American bank would lend him a […]
Obama and Wall Street
I resent those decrying Obama’s taking 400K for a speech to Goldman Sachs. He has every right, morally and ethically, to take the fee. It would be interesting to see what he says to them, inasmuch as he hasn’t done them any favors while president and can’t do anything for them now. If they want […]
Treating Trump As If He’s Normal
I am really sick of the newscasters (ha) talking-heads (ha) that try to explain and attribute meaning to Trump’s utterances as if he’s not unhinged. Maybe he’s learning, they say. Hopefully the next 100 days will be better, they say. Please. The man is nuts. We all know that so why do we pretend otherwise. […]
“Breaking Bad” Marathon
My wife and I just finished a marathon TV watch of Breaking Bad. I am glad it’s over so that now I can get some work done. Besides the emotional drain, a few things occurred to me at its conclusion. First, It makes Hamlet, as a tragedy, seem like a farce by comparison. I’ll spare […]
Pigheaded Trump Voters
It’s bad enough they voted for a know-nothing, lying, lunatic for president. Now, after his failures, lies, and flip-flops, they are in denial. True, some have had voter’s remorse but there is still a core of pig heads. Even with his Russian relationships under investigation for collusion or even treason, they are calling it nit-picking. […]
Agreeing With Trump – Not!
Whether or not I agree with Trump’s Syria incursion or not is not relevant. I disagree with everything he says or does. It’s not only general principle. it’s also the fact that he is so volatile that agreement with him will no doubt become a disagreement. I don’t want to give him any support. I […]
Nunes and the Dimwit
Unfortunately we are frequently judged, sometimes even incriminated, by the company we keep. Joe McCarthy taught us that. My question for Devin Nunes is what did he expect to gain kissing Dimwit Donald’s ass? Did he really expect to get away with what he did i.e. go to the White House sub rosa to get […]
Racism, Ryan and Repeal.
It has now become blatantly clear to me that the republican intense overreaction to the Affordable Care Act through the years has been a repetitive political photo-op to discredit the first black president and remove any positive legacy he might leave. I have been reluctant to consider it a racist plan and consciously forced myself […]
Comey, Rogers and the Republicans
One of the things that came out of the Comey/Rogers hearing was that the republicans, that anti-patriotic bunch, has no concern about Trump’s lies and corruption., no concern about the country they live in as long as they have their power. They are clearly more concerned about stopping the information i.e., the truth, from being […]
