It’s a question of character. There will be a test afterwards. I frequently lament the loss of the Republican party. I know I comment on them critically and harshly, but honestly, I do miss having a decent opposition party. I’m not especially thrilled with the Democratic party and their deliberately ‘hapless’ lifestyle, and it was helpful to have someone else around who could point out...
President Trump seems to enjoy ruining everyone around him. It’s more than a bad habit. When Trump nominated H. R. McMaster as his National Security Advisor (NSA), we were all surprised. McMaster was knowledgeable, well-respected and independent. He was an excellent choice for NSA. Which is why everyone was surprised that Trump nominated him. A grown-up with a reputation for honesty? Nominated by Trump?? It...
Jeeze! This just in from the Washington Post: Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador. Remember when the FBI and CIA were reluctant to give Trump the full intelligence briefings because they were afraid he’d forget what ‘secret’ meant and blurt out something horrifically damaging later? Remember how offended Trump was that he might not be getting the full scoop? And...
I wish I meant ‘wow’ in a good way. I was just catching up with this morning’s Meet the Press, and I saw their first interview with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. I hadn’t had a chance to see Tillerson in any kind of unscripted event, so I was as interested in how he talked as what he said. Not that he has to be...
Interviews make it clear. It’s not that Donald can’t speak. He loves talking. It’s that he can’t think. Since President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, he decided to allow interviews with the Economist, Time Magazine and NBC news. I’ve seen the NBC interview and read transcripts of the others. I can’t recommend you do the same. It hurts my brain every time I...
The New York Times just published this story: In a Private Dinner, Trump Demanded Loyalty. Comey Demurred. The story says that two of Comey’s (anonymous) associates contradict Trump’s version of his January dinner with the-FBI Director James Comey. According to the new article, Trump invited Comey to an informal dinner. Trump insists Comey asked his people. Trump asked a (to me) frightening question: As they...
I’m not especially confident. After President Trump fired FBI Director Comey, lots of people wrote lots of words. I’m reading a lot about the political consequences for Trump. But lemmie see…. How many of our institutions are left? Trump already mowed down most of them. The FBI is frozen, and they’ll become Trump’s lap-dog soon enough. Even if they weren’t, since Trump has already captured...
Trump remains a compulsive fabulist. Trump’s letter firing Comey only had five full sentences, and yet one of them was this: While I greatly appreciate you informing me,on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau. Why did Trump lie about that? It...
