10/8/17: Today, in honor of President Trump, the nation celebrates the first annual Grab a Woman (or a Girl!) by the Pussy Day. This marks the anniversary of the release of the Access Hollywood tape.
Okay, I made that up.
The White House has become an adult day care center.
Actually, the president claims that Sen. Bob Corker “begged” him to endorse him in a run for a third term. Corker, who announced he would be leaving the U.S. Senate in 2018, responds: “I don’t know why the president tweets out things that are not true. You know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does.”
On the Sunday talk-show circuit, Corker lambasts Trump. He says he’s treating the office of the presidency like “a reality show.” Tweeting out policy postions -if you can call them that -the president has put the United States of America “on the path to World War III.” “He concerns me,” Corker admits. “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.”
“It’s
a shame the White House has become an adult day care center,” he adds.

VICE PRESIDENT JESUS is busy on this fine day. First he flies from Las Vegas to Indianapolis at taxpayer expense. His office puts out a picture of Pence in blue and white Indianapolis Colts gear.
(It turns out later the photo is from 2014.)
According to a spokesperson, the VP will be attending the Colts’s home game, simply to honor Peyton Manning, longtime Indianapolis star. Manning’s statue is to be unveiled before the game.
It’s just a coincidence that Pence is there, standing tall, “Mother” by his side, when the first notes of the National Anthem sound. When a handful of players on the San Francisco 49ers take a knee, as everyone knows they will, Pence and “Mother” bolt for the exit. This wasn’t planned at all, the White House claims.
Still, Pence is immediately ready with a statement and a tweet. “I left today’s Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.”
With that, VP Jesus and Mrs. VP Jesus hop
on Air Force Two and fly back to Los Angeles for the remains of the day.
Estimated costs of this cross-country-and-back-again stunt run
from $88,000 to $242,5000.

10/9/17: A writer for The New
York Times sums up the tension between the president and a free press in
one sentence. “The press is in search of truths and the President is a fount of
lies, which makes them natural adversaries.” (See: 10/10/17.)

10/10/17: Up and at ‘em, Mr. President! You’ve got more stupid tweeting to do. Tappity-tap-tap go his furious fingers and out comes this prose ruby: “The Failing @nytimes set Liddle’ Bob Corker up by recording his conversation. Was made to sound a fool, and that’s what I am dealing with!”
It’s vintage Trump, including the puerile insult: “Liddle” Bob Corker.
And there’s the false claim that The New York Times is failing. CNBC reported earlier this year that taking on Trump had been like “rocket fuel” for the Times. Both print (11%) and digital subscriptions (62%) are up.
Finally, you have a president too lazy to check facts. Corker asked to be recorded. The Times obliged. You can listen here for proof if you wish.
Tillerson was right. (See:
10/4/17.)
