Astonishly good article about the Trump presidency from David Frum. A very insightful man who by most accounts is a conservative. I suppose a conservative in the old fashioned sense.

One can listen to it too with the provided links. Please give it a read, or a listen as you prefer:

I'll admit, this pisses me off: Oroville Dam crisis: No word from Trump; FEMA helping. One letter per thousand evacuees would suffice. But, yanno, it's not about Trump.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Loyalty to Trump trumps loyalty to country.

Welcome to Jefferson Sessions' DOJ: Trump's DOJ withdraws Obama effort over transgender bathroom case. Did you really think he'd protect civil rights?

Perhaps if the dam catastrophically fails, Trump can ride the breech downstream on his raft while holding up a sign that promotes Ivana’s products.

Hey...I like that visual..........................

Bear in mind there is no danger of the dam itself failing. The spillway might prove problematic-- but the chances of that are slim.

I just used that prop as a visual.....

Yes it is.

That Officer should be removed from the detail. He knows he is supposed to be not seen and not heard.

This White House has more holes than a colander...


Vote 2022!
