“Stinking Career” is Right

Sycophancy in Twilight

On a day when Donald J. Trump criticized Matt Lauer without mentioning his own piggery, re-tweeted racist (and debunked) videos from proud European fascists; and then called Kim Jung-un a “sick puppy” after North Korea launched yet another ballistic missile, Orrin Hatch, the we can only hope soon to be retiring Republican senator from Utah, kvelled about our current leader.

“He’s one of the best presidents we’ve ever had.”

For the love of Joseph Smith, only if you’re counting Frank Underwood and Baxter Harris.

When the senator was asked about Trump’s tweets, Hatch said, “Tweets? I know no tweets. Of what do you speak?”

Hatch said, “I’m not aware of it. I don’t pay much attention to his tweets.”

Oh, you really should, senator. They’re positively Churchillian.

He’s been one of the best presidents I’ve served under. And the reasoning is, he’s not afraid to make decisions. He’s not afraid to take on the — the big mouths around here.”

That sound you hear is Teddy Roosevelt doing the merengue in his grave.

For starters, Mr. Third in Line to be president, you’re a member of the legislative branch. You don’t serve under Donald Trump. Kellyanne Conway serves under Donald Trump.

By the way, she’s now the country’s opioid czar.

You ever get the feeling we’re not going to survive this?
