7/17/19: Eric Trump washes up on Fox & Friends this morning. He’s there to defend his father, who is taking heat again for sounding like a racist. Young Mr. Trump insists that nearly every man, woman and child in America agrees with every word his dad says.
“My father is in there,” Eric insists, “and he’s fighting every single day. And he has to fight against the media. He has to fight against these lunatics. And guys, I’m telling you, 95% of this country is behind him [emphasis added] in this message. I mean, people love this nation.”
None
of the hosts blink at Eric’s math. This is Fox News where no claim damaging to
foes of the president is questioned. If young Trump had said Obama was known to
have been a cannibal the entire time he lived in the White House, Steve Doocy’
sappy grin wouldn’t even have flickered.

“I’m thinking two automatics with extendo clips.”
ON THE TOPIC OF LUNATICS: Nicholas Zuckerman, 25, is one of those “95% of Americans” who agree with the president that dark-skinned people should leave the country if they don’t like everything about it.
Mr. Zuckerman is sentenced to 15 months in prison for sending threats, via Instagram, to blow up a Harvard graduation ceremony honoring African American students. “If the blacks only ceremony happens,” he wrote in 2017, “then I encourage violence and death at it. I’m thinking two automatics with extendo clips.”
Later that day, the young white man posted under the username
“russian_goalkeeper94” This time he went with a kind of Unabomber vibe:
“#bombharvard and end their pro-black agenda.”
As Reuters noted, “Cara McNamara, his attorney, in court said that Zuckerman had a history of mental illness. She sought to frame his threats in broader context, saying he was “operating in an environment where people every day are pushing the limits.”
Cough, cough.
Trump.

ONCE ZUCKERMAN gets out of jail he should make a beeline for the First Baptist Church in Appomattox, Virginia, where he may find welcome.
After Trump says the four dark-skinned Democratic women should go back where they came from, Pastor E. W. Lucas decides to capture the message of Jesus on the billboard in front of his church. “I thought I was going to make some remarks regarding the situation in Washington,” he told ABC News. “It just came to me … America, I love it. If you don’t love it, leave it.”
“People that feel hard about our president and want to down the president, and down the country and everything,” he continued, “they ought to go over there and live in these other countries for a little while.”
As one of the five percent (according to Trump Family Math) who disagree with the president and his attacks, and who believe the First Amendment always matters, I might suggest – tongue in cheek – that Pastor Lucas and Eric Trump and the three hosts of Fox & Friends go live in North Korea “for a little while.” Let them test the joys of surviving in a country where critics of the Great Leader are dispatched with flamethrowers, nerve agents and anti-aircraft guns.
Screw
it. Thrown in Howard Kurtz, too. (See: 7/13/19.)

I guess the Pharaoh could have said this, too. |

AS FOR KEEPING AMERICA SAFE, it would appear the gravest danger to our country comes not from dark-skinned, female members of Congress or dark-skinned asylum seekers arriving on our southern border.
The real threat is from within – from drug cartels – namely the manufacturers of legal opioids, Big Pharma.
A newly released report from the Drug Enforcement Agency finds that
between 2006 and 2012, the big drug manufacturers flooded the streets of this
nation with 76 billion pain pills like oxycodone and hydrocodone. That would equal
234 pills for every man, woman, and child.
