THE LIGHTER SIDE
God Bless America, and how’s everybody?
President Trump met with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. Putin was never before confronted by a man equally intimidating and scary as he is. Trump invited the 12 rescued Thai soccer team boys to the White House, and the boys returned to the cave.
Hillary Clinton opened her speech to a union convention in Pittsburgh by remarking how tired she’s been. However, she’s not going quietly. Hillary spoke out against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, prompting fears among Democrats that he may be confirmed as president.
The Federal Aviation Administration was reportedly being inundated by complaints about passenger service and cramped seating on the nation’s three major airlines. It’s not all bad. The nicest thing about flying United is that the emergency oxygen masks aren’t coin-operated in first class.
The Justice Department indicted 12 Russian officers for hacking into Democrats’ computers and emails during the last election. They wanted to cause havoc. If I were Vladimir Putin, I’d have wondered if the summit in Helsinki was just a ruse to allow Trump to serve me with a subpoena.
