1/16/18: In a Senate hearing, lawmakers try to dig out answers about what exactly Trump said in the recent meeting on immigration. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen (I think that’s a Norwegian name), says, well...okay, she did hear “rough language” during the meeting. When his turn to question Nielsen comes, Senator Durbin asks what that might have been. Nielsen can’t remember. Trump might have said “shithole” or “Shinola” or “shin splints.”
Durbin probed with a series of questions. Nielsen had a clear memory when it came to presidential comments on policy positions.
She admitted Trump had spoken about Norwegian immigrants and
talked about how hard they worked.

The only kind of immigrant Trump wants. |
If she heard “tough language” from Trump, could Nielsen remember any specific words the president employed? Nielsen said she could not. Durbin tried again. Had she heard him use “rough language?” Nielsen answered no. How about Senator Graham? Nielsen said yes. What a potty mouth! Durbin asked, “Did you hear Senator Graham repeat exactly the words the president had used?”
Nielsen replied, “Uh... what...I think I just went deaf!”

1/17/18: The stock market is going strong. The job market has tightened. Nevertheless, as of today, Trump has an average approval rating of 39.6%. This can be chalked up to the fact that many Americans think he’s dishonest, and a dishonest racist, at that.
Shortly before noon, Sen. Jeff Flake steps to the Senate well and delivers a blistering indictment against President Trump. In his speech he compares Trump’s attacks on the free press to the tactics of Joseph Stalin. (See: 1/18/18.)
