Things are moving along the way you’d expect. The White House is minimizing the Russian collusion news, saying…. Eh, who cares? They’re liars. Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the… Such a bad liar, it’s painful to listen to her. Kellyanne Conway responded with…. No. Don’t even start. Trump tweeted…. Trump lies like most people breathe. Leading Republicans? Please. Where next? Al Jazeera? RT? Better than waiting...
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...
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...
Today, Senate Republicans released their draft of Trumpcare. You remember, the one they were going to rewrite from scratch? It’s like the kids who did their homework on the bus into school. Republicans changed a couple of words from the House version, cut even more money from the poor and destitute, and called it a day. I’m too old to bother repeating that the Republican...
President Donald Trump speaks at press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House on June 9, 2017. (Erie News Now) Oh, Lordy. Trump still feels inadequate about his election. Again. Why can’t he act like most conservative Americans? Donny. Just go out and buy yourself some big pistol, maybe an assault rifle. Fondle them a bit, load and unload, then swagger in manly...
Yesterday, James Comey called President Donald Trump a liar. He did this in sharp,, specific detail. He cited his contemporaneous documentation and the people he spoke to at the time. Comey was specific, detailed, and damning. Today, Trump responded to Comey’s accusations, saying everything Comey had said was a lie. Trump wasn’t especially specific about his counter-charges. And yet Trump (and his sleazy lawyer) were...
I’m still a little shocked at how casually the White House lies about stupid stuff. When NBC asked the White House spokeswoman about the Comey hearings, the press corps could hear every TV in the White House playing the Senate hearing. And yet deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders insisted that it was just an ordinary Thursday at the White House, and nobody was making a...
I admit, I do the David Brooks dance now and then. In my version, I see how many paragraphs I can read from a Brooks column before he simply asserts something that’s more than mildly dubious, completely undefended, and yet essential to his argument. (Evidence isn’t really his gig.) No point in reading on after that. He’ll keep building something gossamer from personal anecdotes and...
