Kudos to Ken Frazier, CEO of pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck, for resigning from Trump’s American manufacturing council. Frazier had been the sole black CEO on that council. Gee, what a surprise. Frazier’s resignation on behalf of Merck appears to stem directly from Trump’s lack of leadership following the Charlottesville white supremacist debacle this weekend, per this statement tweeted out …

We Got a Leaker!
This morning, the blithering and blathering idiots hosting Fox & Friends asked UN Ambassador Nikki Haley to comment on their Fox story reporting that spy satellites detected that North Korea is moving more missiles in place for testing. That sounds like pretty sensitive stuff. To her credit, Nikki Haley responded this way …

He’ll Pay For This Bill
Yesterday, Donald Trump signed the first major piece of legislation passed in his first 6+ months in office. No, not healthcare. No, not infrastructure. No, not tax reform.
Thank You!

The New Normal Is Not
Wake up! Do not be lulled into accepting as normal what is going on in Washington, DC. We have gone from an Obama nation to an abomination. Reject what we are being fed as the new normal. It is not. Here is just some of what is being forced upon us as normal that is not.
Rachel Maddow is Smart
I watch the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. I like her style. She doesn’t curse. She uses documented facts. She cites sources. She allows viewers to draw their own conclusions. She is very smart and often uses words I have heard before, but may be just a bit hazy on the definition. Tonight she used a word I had never heard before. Never. Tonight she used the word “vituperative.” It is a real word. Look it up. I am glad that I am on Rachel Maddow’s side. Rachel Maddow is very, very smart.

Deciphering the Undecipherable
This was tweeted today …

Not since the covfefe tweet has a tweet made less sense. I will do my best to decipher the undecipherable.
What’s true is that Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post and is CEO of Amazon.
What’s false is just about everything else in that tweet including:
-
There is no such thing as an internet tax.
-
Amazon should not pay an internet tax that does not exist.
-
Amazon pays sales tax in the 45 states where it is required.
-
The Washington Post is the antithesis of fake news.
6:06AM is too early to tweet and make sense. Have a cup of covfefe before tweeting next time.

Sad!
From today …

I don’t have any jokes about this. I do think it is important to see the sad ravings of this pathetic excuse for a man.
In addition to Trump’s desperate tweets, Jared Kushner’s business dealings (money laundering) are now under investigation, and Mike Pence has lawyered up, so it was a decent day overall.
And with a late round pick in the Kremlingate legal draft, Robert Mueller selects …
Kremlingate Special Counsel Robert Mueller just hired Michael Dreeben to join his investigative team, although his addition may signal the team turning from investigative to more prosecutorial now.
From the Washington Post, “Michael is the most brilliant and most knowledgeable federal criminal lawyer in America — period,” said Walter Dellinger, a law professor at Duke University School of Law and acting solicitor general for the 1996-1997 term of the Supreme Court.
Donald Trump, “Uh-oh.”
The WaPo continues, “Dreeben is 1 of the top legal & appellate minds at DOJ in modern times,” former Manhattan U.S. attorney Preet Bharara tweeted after learning of Mueller’s recruitment of Dreeben.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has this guy in his corner …
Where’s Donald?
I was pleased to see that the fate of the Free World is in the good hands of Angela Merkel of Germany and Emmanuel Macron of France, seen here walking & talking together as they walked through the streets of Sicily at the G7 Summit.

But where’s Donald Trump?
