There are, apparently, people who refuse to see the ignorance, incompetence and corruption that Donald Trump represents. It is very clear that Trump is irrelevant in any real sense other than as a symptom of political collapse and should be, as much as possible, ignored. That doesn’t mean that he, his…
I wish I knew what this meant. Having gone through it twice I’m left with the impression that Congress is screwed up and can only agree on one tree at which to bark. Notice that I said bark at a tree and not up it. There is no clear indication of what might be up the Russian tree that warrants a bunch of old dogs to bark. Other than Putin, of course…
