September 18-20, 2017: President Trump Talks about Incinerating North Korea

 

9/18/17: How’s the “witch hunt,” involving Russians, coming? Trump hasn’t mentioned it on Twitter since July 29. That could be because he’s worried as investigators discover brooms in various closets. 

Investigators raid Paul Manafort’s home in the dark of night. They pick his front door lock because they fear he might destroy evidence, like a drug dealer flushing his stash down a toilet. 

We know Special Counsel Mueller is working with the Attorney General of New York and may charge former Trump campaign aides, and possibly Don Jr. and Jared, too, with state crimes. Why state crimes? A president can’t use the pardon power to wipe away state convictions.

Don Jr. had a meeting with Russians and kept it secret for more than a year.
Then Don Sr. and Don Jr. lied about the purpose of that meeting.

 

BLOGGER’S NOTE (6/26/22): As we know, neither Donald Jr. nor Jared Kushner were ever charged with any crimes. 

This blogger would argue that both got lucky.

9/19/17: Demonstrating his maturity level, in his first speech to the U.N. Trump refers to the leader of North Korean as “Rocket Man,” as if he’s back on the campaign trail insulting “Little Marco” or “Crooked Hillary.” The problem with his approach is that Kim Jong-un is equally immature. 

And both leaders possess nukes. 

 

Trump has plan for incinerating 25 million men, women, children. 

Trump warns that North Korea must change course. “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.” 

It sounds like the president has a plan: If you call it a plan to talk off-handedly about incinerating a nation of 25 million human beings, most of whom don’t like Kim Jong-un any more than we do.

9/20/17: The GOP charges ahead on its latest healthcare plan. This plan is their best plan ever! 

Senator Charles Grassley explains to reporters why he expects to vote for the bill. 

You know, I could maybe give you ten reasons why this bill shouldn’t be considered. But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That’s pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill.

 

Okay, kids, we promised to take you on a boat ride. Even though we know the boat is going to sink.
