Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

I'm Broken

How can you summarize this week?

SNL gives it a shot, but honestly, it's too bizarre even for them.  We have Rudy Giuliani basically admitting election finance law violations, Trump's doctor admitting that Trump's letter saying he was the fittest president ever was dictated by Trump - and alleging that Trump sent goons over to the Doc's office to steal files.  We have...something...going on in Korea.  Trump wants to withdraw from the JCPOA in prelude to military action against Iran.  John McCain doesn't want Trump to come to his funeral.  There is a continuing standoff on whether we are about to have a trade war.  Without checking, I'm reasonably sure that Scott Pruitt did something shady AF. 

We are careening from one crisis and scandal to the next.  And Trump still doesn't sink below 40% approval rating.
