Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015

When Trump was speaking to the Boy Scouts, Trump seemed way too comfortable to me while making a fiery political speech to a crowd of brown-shirted people.
I find it interesting that Trump continually rails against White House “leakers,” but in one of his first TV interviews on Sunday, Trump’s new Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci revealed that Trump himself was the “anonymous” source for one of the leaks Scaramucci was quoting.
Only Donald Trump can make POS Attorney General Jeff Sessions appear to be a pitiable character.

I have lots of random thoughts. My wife has traditionally been the recipient of most of those when I word vomit up those odd ideas and musings, but she has recently taken to wearing some noise-canceling headphones around the house, not even connected to music. Next in line are my loyal and even disloyal followers, so here we go with more random thoughts …
I always know it is time to cut my toenails when I’m swimming in our pool and get very nervous that I’ll tear our pool liner.

With a Senate healthcare bill vote looming next week, I wanted to make sure I completely understood Donald Trump’s position on pre-existing conditions. I decided to re-read the transcript from the NY Times interview he gave last week. Maybe that would give me some clarity of understanding. Here’s what he had to say.

This was a great Made In America Week, celebrating the USA’s production capability. We are grateful for Donald Trump’s contribution to USA production, although that may sound counter-intuitive since just about everything with a Trump name on it such as all of Ivanka’s fashion line and Trump’s golf paraphernalia is made outside the USA, except for those crappy MAGA caps.
And then we have this tweet …
I ran into a follower of this blog yesterday. Yes, you know who you are. It wasn’t awkward like the time I realized that the cashier at the grocery store was the same woman who I had been watching through her blinds doing Zumba. This follower and I have actually known each other for a couple decades now, and I doubt that she will seek a restraining order like old Zumba Hips eventually did.
However, the meeting was still shocking to me.


For some reason, people have compared Senator Mitch McConnell to a turtle. Well yesterday, McConnell was turtling along like usual, waiting for Senator John McCain to get healthy enough to return to the Senate and vote for the Senate’s Trumpcare bill.

And then, Twitter happened. Was it a Trump tweet?




My daughter is vacationing in Los Angeles, so we are catsitting for her. She demanded proof that he was still alive. I guess I am grateful that my wife texted her this pic before I could respond …

I was planning on cutting off one of the cat’s ears and sending it to my daughter as proof. That’s how they do it in the movies!
And yes, that is a beret the cat is wearing.

I’ll bet he’s looking forward to another day of women’s golf in his private box! I’m imagining a whole lot of this going on in the Trump suite …

I have bragged for a long time that my followers were “well into the triple digits.” That was technically true as most of my followers weighed over 100 lbs. However, today I officially have triple digit followers as I have surpassed the 100 mark of actual followers. By the way, do you think there is any correlation between not blogging yesterday and gaining followers? Regardless, no time for introspection when it is time to celebrate. How about a congratulatory handshake?

Ew, that’s not what I had in mind.
