The president’s attorneys say he’s too busy being president to be distracted by a defamation case even though he wouldn’t be too busy to bring cases like it against others (which he threatened to do). Perhaps they’re worried it would get in the way of the time he spends squandering our tax money on golf …

Pay Back Time Says Florida
After only a little more than two months in office 45’s already spent too much for the city and county Mar-A-Lago is located in to cover. He’s driven businesses out of the local airport. He’s hurting the economy in the place where he has his business. The town of Palm Beach, Florida, as well as …
Fear Itself
This is starting to look a lot like terrorism. The current administration ran on fear – fear of “other.” Other religions, other skin colors, other nationalities, other genders, other sexualities. They’re not “us,” whatever “us” is, so they are bad. The Mexicans are rapists. The Mexicans and South Americans take your jobs and bring drugs. …
Are You With Us or Against Us, Ryan?
So, if Paul Ryan is the smart one, the golden boy of the Republican party, how is this whole budget thing going to work out? His math is terrible, but if he’s the best at it we’re screwed. “Moving from an opposition party to a governing party comes with growing pains,” Ryan told reporters Friday. This …
Where Is Our Oversight
Where do we even start on everything that is wrong with the latest news? The president is giving his son-in-law/top adviser broad and sweeping power that should go to elected officials and those approved by Congress. We, the People, did not elect 45’s son-in-law. If he wanted consideration then he should have run. We wouldn’t …
No One To Blame But Yourself
About eight months before 45 was born in June of 1946, a sign was delivered to President Truman. Truman kept it on his desk throughout his presidency and often referred to it in speeches. “The President–whoever he is–has to decide. He can’t pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for …
Why Not Just Fix What Is Broken?
The American Health Care Act of 2017 (AHCA) was pulled yesterday when the House of Representatives could not get enough votes to pass it. It was all about greed, taking from the poor to give to the wealthy and booting people off their health insurance. It was always a tax bill and not a health …
Yeah, yeah, Lock Him Up, but
This goes so perfectly with my previous post today about damage control that I cannot resist. About that civics class – remember due process? and innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? This was one of my frustrations back when 45 was running and he and his fellow spies (see? even I’m falling into the …
The Jig is Up, So Why Are We Not In Damage Control Mode?
Remember that awful Civics class that you had to pass if you wanted to graduate from high school? Like algebra and geometry, it was one of those awful, painful classes that you scratched and clawed your way through, smug in the knowledge you’d never need this shit in real life. Fast forward to adulthood when you …
“We’re in touch, so you be in touch.”
Now that I’m old, sometimes I am glad my memory isn’t great. As it is, sometimes the littlest things trip a memory and make me laugh or make me sad. It might be the smallest link. For example, a simple but common phrase, and this is especially a problem because I am old and it …
