As some have pointed out, I guess we dodged a bit of a bullet last night, you might say, when Generalissimo Trump didn’t declare a national emergency over his stinking wall, though we still have far to go to fix this mess unfortunately – I thought this recent commentary from Chris Cuomo of CNN gave us some really good context…
…and David Pakman tells us what we probably knew already, which is that the Gropenfuhrer doesn’t know what a shutdown truly does…and also, while we’re quite rightly blaming Repugs, don’t let that gutter snipe Mick Mulvaney off the hook, Trump’s COS (POS is more like it), since this is what the “Freedom Caucus” really wants…
…and the following from “Now This” tells us about the threat of industry concentration (you can add the telcos to this list too, by the way – basically the choices are Verizon and Comcast, which is like having to choose between bubonic plague and leprosy…the cynic in me says, “Yeah, well, Josh Hawley and Mike Lee don’t have to worry about campaign contributions from tech companies in Utah and Missouri I’m sure,” but for now they’re doing the right thing – as the hero of their party once said in another context, “trust, but verify”…but when it comes to Hawley, it looks like he won’t be playing “hallway roulette,” whatever that means, as noted here…too self-entitled to answer questions affecting his constituents, apparently – didn’t take long for Hawley, did it?)…
…and yesterday would have been the 72nd birthday of David Bowie, and tomorrow marks the 3rd anniversary of his passing.
