My two cents on the political stories floating around each week.
- Today Louis C.K., one of my favorite comedians, admitted to sexually harassing several women.
–TAKEAWAY: Goshdangit, I just can’t even with this…. - Former DNC Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile has slightly modified her criticism of the 2016 primary and the DNC (‘it wasn’t rigged but it had cancer’) doesn’t matter now because her book has sold out on Amazon.
–TAKEAWAY: She’s all about the Benjamins. Who wants to bet she ends up on Fox News as one of their token “liberal” pundits? - While Congressional GOP members are dropping accused pedophile Roy Moore like hot potato, fellow Alabama GOP members think it’s not a problem.
–TAKEAWAY: Alabama GOP thinks that ANY Democractic candidate is worse than a pedophile. - Enrollment on Healthcare.gov is surprisingly robust with new enrollment up 30%.
–TAKEAWAY: Trump and his lackeys are so incompetent they aren’t even able to sabotage Obamacare effectively. - Ret. General and Former NSA to Trump Michael Flynn is publicly worrying about the fate of his son regards the Russian Collusion investigation by Mueller.
–TAKEAWAY: The pressure is getting to Flynn and he will flip soon, if he hasn’t already. - Trump has had his lips glued to the Chinese Leader’s ass for the last couple of days in complete opposition to his own positions on trade with China since forever and trade agreements like the TPP are moving forward without the US.
–TAKEAWAY: If anyone doubted that the US has lost it’s preeminence on the world stage, this proves it conclusively. The world will now be led by China and Russia. - Trump’s top economic adviser Gary Cohn admitted in an interview that the current tax bill in Congress is based on “trickle down” economic theory–ya know, the kind that doesn’t exist and the GOP is openly admitting that their wealthy donors will stop donating if they don’t pass this tax bill.
–TAKEAWAY: The GOP cares more about giving money to the wealthy than it does the actual welfare of the US economy. - Trump’s bodyguard for the past several decades said that Trump was offerred Russian escorts when he traveled there.
–TAKEAWAY: Does anyone believe that Trump turned down EVERY Russian offer of escorts? The Pee Tape is real. - GOP Congresscritters were getting really frustrated with Carter Page’s testimony before Congress because he was incapable of giving a yes or no answer, or really any answer that made any sense whatsoever.
–TAKEAWAY: The guy that the Russians thought was too stupid to be turned and used was, in fact, that stupid and useless.
