Jim Flanigan Looks at the World
Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015

I saw this tweet in real time this morning. I couldn’t quite believe what I was reading.

I had no reply to tweet because I was not prepared for Trump Sr. throwing his son under the bus the way he did. Trump Sr. appears to use the “I didn’t do it, but my son did” defense.
I can only speculate on the conversation this tweet generated.
Jr: Oh father, I feel quite uncomfortable with my head resting under the bus tire.
Sr: Don’t worry. They’ll provide you a pillow in prison.



Yes, Republican standards just got set lower, if such a thing is even possible, and incredibly Donald Trump was not the one lowering the bar, although he has certainly been making an effort.
After being found guilty of culpable homicide and serving one year of a five year prison sentence, Olympic amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been released on parole under house arrest for the remainder of the four years on his sentence. Pistorius eagerly agreed to the parole board’s offer of house arrest on condition that he wear an electronic monitoring bracelet on his ankle.
