Family Values
It wasn’t that long ago when being divorced even once was political suicide. How times have changed. These days, particularly with this current pack of clowns, it seems that a disastrous personal life is a requirement for the job. These aren’t random government clerks: this is the Cabinet.

Speech Postmortem
The POTUS has evidently stopped talking, and here were a few highlights, along with remarks by me:
*TRUMP: US INFLATION HAS BEEN DEFEATED – It’s lower, to be sure, but what people seem to miss is that the increased prices just……..stay high. It’s not like it reverts back to five years ago.
*TRUMP: STOCK MARKET DIP ‘PEANUTS’, STOCK MARKET WILL DOUBLE – Uh-huh.
*TRUMP: SIGNED ORDER BANNING INSTITUTIONAL HOME BUYERS – A rare time I support him, although I’m certain this is just mid-term pandering. Still: hurrah.

*TRUMP: NATO, EUROPE DOESN’T APPRECIATE WORK THAT THE US DOES – He sounds like me talking to free Slope accounts.
*TRUMP: NOW I’M ASKING FOR A PIECE OF ICE, A VERY SMALL ASK – So can someone get the United States by pointing out they just want a piece of dirt?
