7/24/17: Is it possible the president can bring us together? In the sense that almost all Americans are beginning to wonder if the man is nuts?
The White House has made his position clear. Trump does not want to impose greater sanctions on Russia, and would like to great rid of sanctions that exist – and buy Vladimir a pony.
__________
Congress comes
together, 419-3 and 98-2, on sanctions.
__________
Members of the House of Representatives see it differently. By a vote of 419-3, lawmakers agree to impose greater sanctions and tie Trump’s hands so he can’t remove them without approval.
To recap for Trump fans: The Senate came
to the same conclusion, that Russians meddled in the election. The president
might want to get rid of sanctions, even if that’s not good for the country. On
June 20 the Senate votes, 98-2, to
pass a similar bill and tie up the guy in the Oval Office.

TRUMP CAPS another wild day by addressing a crowd of 45,000 Boy Scouts at their National Scout Jamboree. “Who the hell wants to speak about politics, when I’m in front of the Boy Scouts,” he asks rhetorically. Then he spews. To encourage his audience to work hard and make America great again, he assures them Washington isn’t just a swamp to be drained.
It’s a “cesspool,” kids, a “sewer,” he grumbles.
The polls? “That’s also ‘fake news,’” he claims. They won’t even report the fact the Scout crowd is so large, Trump predicts. His mostly teenage audience loves the feisty speech, probably because they’re teens.
Teens love fart jokes. (See: 7/27/17.)
