My family and I went to a pro-ACA rally/protest yesterday. My wife made pretty, patriotic signs for herself and our youngest child.

CPAC? See Terror!
Breaking News Alert!
The Department of Homeland Security has just issued a blockbuster report that shows that immigrants from the 7 nations affected by Trump’s Executive Order Muslim ban are less likely to commit an act of terror than CPAC attendees and especially CPAC guest speakers.
Another Edition of “Am I a Bad Guy?”
I play the “Am I a Bad Guy?” game a lot.
-
Am I a bad guy for taking the last of the (insert favorite food here) from the pantry or refrigerator?
-
Am I a bad guy for not paying my car insurance bills on time, waiting until I get a “last notice before cancellation” letter in the mail simply because I think rates are too high?
-
Part 1: Am I a bad guy for yelling at the dog who dropped a load in the house even though I know I should have taken him out hours ago? Part 2: Am I a bad guy for moving to another room in the house, pretending I don’t see the load, hoping my wife will see it and take care of it?
-
Am I a bad guy for not raking leaves in the fall and hoping a windy day will blow my yard’s leaves into a neighbor’s yard?
Sadly, I could go on and on with examples of this game I play. I’m now playing the game again, but this time YOUR life could depend upon my answer.

Deportation Transportation
The news from yesterday that Trump, Inc. had purchased the Trailways Bus Line was met with some confusion. Sure, bus travel is as bad of an experience as eating a Trump Steak, but the acquisition just didn’t seem to fit with the Trump brand. The shocking news that is breaking today now makes some sense of yesterday’s bus acquisition.

Less Government & Even Fewer Clothes
I try to create original posts for this blog. This one is not. However, I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing when I happened to watch The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC last night. You know the liberal media, fake media, etc. are always playing fast and loose with the facts. So I fact-checked myself. It turns out that Team Trump is having some trouble filling government positions requiring Senate confirmation, but it is not because the Democrats are being obstructionists. Team Trump is simply not offering nominees.
Norway Saved From Swedish Terror
In a brilliant move, Norway quickly erected an imaginary border wall between Norway and Sweden as pictured here …
Apostrophe Catastrophe
Donald Trump is making news on this Presidents Day already.
Trump is probably too old to have gotten a participant trophy for soccer. They didn’t hand them out like diuretics at a nursing home back in the days when he was a wee lad. Now he wants his own trophe, or more correctly, his (apos)trophe. Wow, that is really a stretch, even for me.
Presidents Day? Nope, this day is not about a general milieu of presidents. This is about him. And isn’t General Milieu under consideration as National Security Advisor?
Presidents’ Day? Ah, the plural possessive form that literally nobody understands how to use properly, and certainly not Trump. Misusing an apostrophe? Trump says, “Your fired.”
President’s Day? He gets this. The day is his. Enjoy suckling at his presidential teat on President’s Day as the fake media writes that he has man boobs.
Happy Presidents Day
On this day, I want to extend my best wishes to our new President. He has truly accomplished a lot in his first 40 days or so in office. He has been quiet and dignified when in the public’s eye, and there’s so much more!
3 Things I Hate
I had 3 experiences yesterday that I don’t like, all before noon. I don’t want to go into great detail, as I will save that for my analyst. Here they are, in no particular order except numerical, actually alpha-numerical if you look at #2.
Enemy of the People
I decided to follow Trump’s lead on the media. In response to this real Trump tweet from yesterday …
I punched out our paperboy this morning. I figured he must be complicit with our enemy, delivering their fake news. That did not work out well. And is it really fair that unexpired, perfectly good coupons cannot be used to help make bail?
Scott Pruitt Takes a Dump
NSA The Trump Way
Dead Streaming
Trump actually tweeted this. This is not a fake or altered Trump tweet.
Since when did signing legislation to aid in polluting streams with coal mining waste become a good thing to promote about yourself?
Pressed for Answers
I was busy with business associates the past couple days, and I was surprised to hear from one colleague that Trump was having another press conference yesterday, the day after he just had a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I figured that it would be as inconsequential as the Netanyahu presser with a couple softball questions and that would be it. I completely underestimated Trump’s willingness to put his mental illness on full display for the world to see.
I am still reeling from watching the press conference and then reading the transcript of this press conference. I can only imagine the concern mental health professionals would have that did the same. His opening diatribe gradually built through the subsequent questions from the media into full blown nonsensical gibberish. There are so many examples to which I can point, but I thought I would offer ten for your review and consideration that could be easily grabbed from the transcript. My editorial comments follow after his quotes.

Intelligence Not Required
Someone got their phone back! These are just 2 intelligence-related tweets from a Trump tweet-storm this morning …
OK Donnie, you don’t have to repeat it over and over again. We get it. You don’t like intelligence. You don’t have to tweet it. We can tell just by looking at your Cabinet.
Trump Needs a Staff Plumber
Warning: This is not one of my humorous (some would say hilarious) fake Trump tweets. Do not feign laughter so my feelings are not hurt, not that you would since it is obvious that my feelings are not that important to you. So far, no cards, texts or emails on this Valentine’s Day. Sure I’ll be yours, but you have to ask. Hmmm, somehow I got off track. Hurt feelings can really mess with a person’s mental GPS. Anyway, this is a real Trump tweet from today …
3 words for Trump: ASK. YOUR. STAFF.
