As former FBI Director James Comey’s Senate testimony looms, I feel like a kid the week before Christmas who is expecting a new bike under the tree on Christmas morning. I just have to get that new bike. Right now I feel like I’m riding a girl’s coaster bike with a hot pink seat. James Comey’s testimony on Thursday will be that cool new BMX bike waiting for me on Christmas morning. However, all the time running through the back of my mind is the fear that rather than the BMX bike, I’ll get clothes, heavy on the underwear.

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?

Trumpatized – A Rap Poem

Spellcheck This
How is it possible that Donald Trump can tweet so many spelling errors of simple English words, but he gets this Turkish president’s name right …
Rubber Trump
Unlike some of my “enhanced” Trump tweets, this one is the real deal …

This is an excellent example of perfect deployment of the “I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you” defense. I would not be surprised if we see a follow-up tweet using the “I know you are, but what am I?” argument.
Aristotle would be so proud.
Un Thing Leads to Another
People are surprised when Donald Trump said today that he would be honored to meet North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m not. There are no Trump properties developed in North Korea, so the market is wide open for hotel, casino and golf resort development. Trump Tower Pyongyang perhaps? Of course he wants to buddy up with Kim Jong Un. And who knows, maybe bankruptcy laws are even more lenient in North Korea than in the USA?
I just hope that Trump isn’t too disappointed when he finds out that this 27 year old North Korean leader named “Kim” isn’t a hot chick. I guess there’s no telling if Trump and Un will ever meet, but we know they at least will be in the same room this fall when they both travel to attend the World Dictator’s Conference in Monte Carlo.
Boaring!
I spotted this article with link below from Newsweek about wild boars killing ISIS fighters.
http://www.newsweek.com/isis-fighters-iraq-killed-wild-boars-ambush-civilians-589816
Back in September, Trump hinted that he would have a great plan to defeat ISIS …
“When I do come up with a plan that I like and that perhaps agrees with mine, or maybe doesn’t, I may love what the generals come back with. I have a plan, but I don’t want to ― look, I have a very substantial chance of winning, make America great again. We’re going to make America great again. I have a substantial chance of winning. If I win, I don’t want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is. Let me tell you, if I like maybe a combination of my plan or the generals’ plan, if I like their plan, I’m not going to call you up and say, we have a great plan.”
Thanks to Trump once again for a wonderful word salad. If you can make any sense at all of that, it sounds kinda’ top secret, doesn’t it? Maybe even a bit “boaring” perhaps? Oh yeah, Trump has a plan to defeat ISIS. Some may call it a bit “boaring,” but it sounds plenty wild to me.
Cage Match This Time?
It looks like Donald Trump is leaning on his WWE wrestling background to issue via a couple tweets what I interpret as a challenge to an election rematch considering he lost the popular vote by over 3 million votes.
Please call me by my full new name …
I was just appointed to fill the open position of Democratic Precinct Committeeman in the Township and Precinct of St. Charles 8. I was somewhat surprised since I was still awaiting to be scheduled for an interview for the position when this certificate arrived in the mail. Definitely no extreme vetting, but definitely suitable for extreme framing.

I am not sure how long I will serve in this capacity. It is an electable position, but if anyone would run against me in the next election, I will gladly allow them to run unopposed, although I can’t promise I won’t run a bit of a smear campaign first. I’ve always wanted to. I’m really just helping out until someone else wants to do it. I am honored to serve, and thrilled with having an official title. I see former politicians interviewed on CNN, and have noticed that long after they are no longer in office, they are still referred to by their former title …

Democratic Precinct Committeeman in the Township and Precinct of St. Charles 8 Flanigan?
If this is my title for life, I may want to acronymize it a bit …
DPCITTAPOSC8 Flanigan. Yeah, that’s got a certain ring to it.
Trumpsiderate
During this 2016 Presidential campaign, we have all come to learn just how considerate and thoughtful Donald Trump is. He demonstrated that consideration once again as he was speaking in North Carolina today, hinting that gun rights advocates may want to take out Hillary Clinton. How considerate of him!

GOP Behind Balloon Drop Disaster at DNC?
A devastating balloon drop closed the Democratic National Convention, killing 3 while injuring 6 including Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Trump rescues bloggers, but at what cost?
The Democratic National Convention got off to a rocky start as Bernie Sanders believers appeared ready to take the Jonestown route rather than endorse Hillary Clinton. But the Democratic convention soon settled into thoughtful, rational, stirring speeches presented by prestigious politicians, everyday people, and A-list celebrities not named Scott Baio. What is a political blogger to write about?

Upstaging the Elephants
The time is nigh for the Democrats to show that a national nominating convention can be substantive and offer clear plans for the country, and not be a thinly-disguised WWE backstory of the feud between Terrible Trump and Killer Cruz. But I think if the Dems want to try and sway some on-the-fence Trump backers to vote Democratic, here are some suggestions to add a little pizzazz to their convention.

Brexit Redux
Residents of the UK already have over 1,000,000 names on a petition to re-do the Brexit vote. I think it is kind of clever that the Brits have a Plan B in case they royally screw-up, which they appear to believe they did.

Here are some interesting facts from a US perspective about the Brexit vote.
