The latest spout of Trump Crazy tweets — the ones that leave me shaking my head — leave a third of us delighted. They see Trump as a fighter. “Look at him hit back against those snobby elites!” they tell each other, as if Trump ever actually won a fair fight. Here’s a quote from Washington Post opinion piece by Hugh Hewitt: The rest of […]
As part of his extensive preparations for the G-20 summit and his one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin — easily the most important meeting in his Presidency so far — Trump took the time to tweet this thoughts: Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) […]
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va) recently introduced what he calls the Fair Representation Act. It’s an interesting idea that seemed doomed from the start, but I’m seeing more press coverage than I’d thought. Maybe his proposal has legs? Here’s a Salon article and a Washington Post opinion piece. Our recent elections have left us locked into our unhappy place. We hate our government — Congress hovers […]
Watching Trump unspool on Twitter over the weekend, I was thinking about friendship and neighborhood. I know it sounds odd, but hey, Trump is probably one of the worst neighbors, ever. It came to mind. I live in a pretty friendly, semi-urban neighborhood of closely-spaced, brick-block houses. Built just after World War II, the houses are close together, with small yards and curious neighbors. It […]
The reactions to Trump’s latest… thing — tweet, snot-projectile, whatever — are about par for this terrible course. First, though, since Trump is working so hard to distract us, let me recapitulate with some of the things Trump doesn’t want us thinking about: After the CBO reported that the Senate Trumpcare will disenfranchise 22 million Americans, the Republican rush to vote their monstrosity into law […]
Trump’s tweets are making the rounds: I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came.. – Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017 …to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no! –” Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June […]
So the Democrats are doing another Talk-A-Thon about the disaster that will be Trumpcare. (GOPCare?) As part of a sit-in on the Capital steps with other Democratic Senators and Representatives, Cory Booker started a Facebook post with this: Health care is a human right. Nice beginning. And yes, I agree that health care should be a universal minimum in any civilized society. Heck, even in […]
Trump, who still shrilly insists there was no Russian hacking, issued a string of tweets about the Washington Post detailed, extensive article about that hacking. In his latest tweets, Trump said– Yeah, I still don’t care. Trump remains a compulsive liar; nothing he says has weight or bearing. That makes the rest moot. It’s a little entertaining to watch, since Trump hadn’t read the story […]
