I can’t help but wonder why the New York Times decided to deliver a tailor-made dirty trick against Robert Mueller. Just as Doug Jones wins his election in Alabama, the Times reported “In Texts, F.B.I. Officials in Russia Inquiry Said Clinton ‘Just Has to Win’“. From somewhere, they got copies of the texts between Agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Because of those texts, Mueller […]
The Republican model campaign is to find divisive issues, then use them to make us hate each other. They’ve been following that model for a long time. I saw the beginnings decades ago, and I’m probably missing more. Each time Republicans find another wedge issue, they shred the fabric of our society, and our culture. It’s horrible, and un-American, and, at least so far, highly […]
A close friend asked me recently when the allegations of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and (yes) sexual assault by leaders in government and entertainment will stop. My answer: “You better hope these types of allegations NEVER stop.” Watchdogs can never sleep. Whistle-blowers must act when conscience demands it. The rest of us need them. Control systems in the United States are far from perfect, and […]
As much as I’m delighted by the current upheaval on sexual assault, we’re stuck with an open question: how much is too much? Where do we really want to put moral and ethical threshold for removal from office? So far, we’re pretending that we already know when sexual crimes are damning. Today, with one more accusation of inappropriate kissing, dozens of Senators and Congresspeople abruptly […]
I swear, there’s something in the air. Or the water. Or plastics, I can never tell. Quick side trip. I’ve had a number of cats (and dogs, but think about cats). Most lived into old age, but a surprising number died of thyroid problems. Thyroid glands do lots of things, but sometimes, in cats, they go wonky and pump out way too much in hormones. […]
As the circle tightens and Trump gets squeezed, the Presidential destruction increases. We’re entering that scary part of things. Trump is fighting back the only way he knows, by tearing down everything that frightens him. In Push Comes to Psychotic Shove, Nate Standing wrote: Trump won’t just stop at a certain point. He isn’t rational that way. Once he starts fighting back, he won’t have limits. […]
Things are looking bad for President Trump, which scares me. Now that Republicans have their tax cuts, will they begin to push Trump back? If push comes to shove, and Trump is really the psychopath he appears to be, we’re looking at trouble.
After Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, President Donald Trump thumbed this response: I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 2, 2017 And, big […]
