No surprises here

It’s a good thing hypocrisy isn’t an impeachable offense. The most recent grand revelation from the Trump Jersey golf course—that his bed was made and boxer shorts ironed by illegal workers—should come as no surprise to his still loyal cadre of followers. They’ve heard it all before and they still carry their placards—“Facts Don’t Matter.”

Add this to manufacturing the Trump clothing line in China and other international wage-slave-labor countries. Add this to the imported Caribbean workers working in his Florida establishments legally— made legal, that is, by fraudulent declarations.

Let me share a secret with you. Why is the Trump agenda—wall and tariffs and such—having so much trouble getting off the ground? Could it be that all his supporters have to spend so much time making excuses for the emperor and his clothes—or lack of—and that all the Trump appointees have to spend so much time protecting their behinds from the boss (see Tillerson, Sessions, Kelly, etc.) that they can’t get any work done?

At least he’s drained the Washington swamps of politicians. .. a few of which were actually selected by politicians other than himself … but not many.

A collection of the pictures of Trump’s most recently departed pasted on the wall look like a grade school yearbook—or is that a Post Office most-wanted gallery?

But to be fair, we have at least one successful appointee during this administration, the one who is tossing out bedmates of Putin at a faster clip than the ice packs melting. Now if Special Counsel Robert Mueller can perform a tightrope-walking miracle and survive the president’s erratic behavior a while longer, he might actually end his term with at least one unquestionably successful appointment.
