When a nation’s children marched, and their President ignored them - Trump cont.

[TheClaws]

For me, the Parkland children being belittled and abused in so many ways is utterly heartbreaking to witness. But they have been more adult than the adults in their response. They have shown us what faith means, and bravery. POTUS? He is made much, much smaller.

Sorry. acerbic. (I won't even begin to tell you what my autocorrect wanted to make it! )

Aah.

Washington (CNN)Attorney General Jeff Sessions is not naming a new special counsel to investigate Republican-driven accusations against the FBI -- at least for now.

Or. (And you'll forgive the 'In' jokes, I'm sure:

I cannot ... Trump's face even before he starts to speak.

It may be time to issue a warning about post-November. The Dems are holding together at the moment. (Understandably.) I'm not sure that that will last if they take the House though.........
.

At least - not on everything.

Hmm Ouais, let me think....

Bothered in Back Bay (Boston)?
Miffed in Upper Manhattan?
Hot Under the Collar in Holmby Hills (LA)?

I guess I'd sign myself "Seething in the Sierra Foothills"

You know, there was a piece on Scrotus on NPR the other day. The person being interviewed (a psychologist) said that despite what Scrotus says about 'being the biggest winner', at heart he sees himself as 'the underdog' whom everyone is 'out to get'. He really thinks he pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, that he's a 'self made man' and that's why 'everyone hates and is out to get me'. It really rings rather true, doesn't it. And sort of shows why he can't get along with anyone other than his family members and sycophants of 'lesser' status (money) that him. Why he can't take any advice contrary to his own desires. It's also a reason why he hates Zuckerberg so much. Zuckerberg IS a self made man. Not that I admire his ethics, but he didn't have a rich daddy to bankroll him.

A straightforward 'Bothered in/of Boston' is your one, I think.

I find Trump’s face increasing difficult to to tolerate. I think it’s the way he narrows his eyes and purses his lips at the same time - and you know this is his “I’ve going to say something important and not necessarily true” face. Waiting for applause. This one:

Mueller is now questioning witnesses about events at the 2016 Republican National Convention, including how and why language that was tough on Russia was deleted from a section of the party platform related to Ukraine.

To me, that is his 'I am very important and what is currently being said is not worthy of my time so move over and let me get to the podium so everyone can be amazed at my brilliance' face.

Sessions reveals he isn’t appointing a second special prosecutor.

SHS says the WH will “deal with” the expulsion of US diplomats from Russia (a reaction to the US and other countries’ kicking out of Russian diplomats from their countries). Not sure how exactly they will “deal with” Russia on this one.

Johnson & Johnson and Stitch Fix have confirmed to HuffPost that they are dropping Laura Ingraham.

Apologies if you've already seen this Opinion piece by Shulkin in Wednesdays New York Times

"As I prepare to leave government, I am struck by a recurring thought: It should not be this hard to serve your country."

Sorry, lost my possessive apostrophe. Bigly ashamed

Actually, I have to do it properly or it will bother me all day! Sorry for the repetition!

Opinion piece by Shulkin in Wednesday's New York Times

Placemarking.
As always, alternating between tears and laughter.

Ouais

I need a spreadsheet and Venn diagrams or something.

That's why it's difficult to investigate and prosecute. It's like tying to pick up a spider's web.

Meanwhile, it turns out CNN is FAKE NEWS!!!

Ouais oh deary me, that's me too with apostrophes, they have to be right. I remember a long time ago going to look round a school for one of the DCs. They had a sign saying ..
Tea's will be served in the Gym
Much to my DD's shame I had to mention it to the teacher we were chatting with because it bothered me so much! Unfortunately, they didn't change it.

This person is now officially out of his tree. Really? This is directly the immigration debate into a murky space, and a shameful, illegitimate one. I haven’t heard anyone on the Left make such an absurd claim. Tucker should be called out over such blatant racism - but we all know he won’t.
