Like so many whiny children in the backseat of the family car heading who-knows-where because Dad is drunk, hopelessly lost and refusing to pull over so Uncle Mike can drive (no matter how much Uncle Mike praises his driving to appease him), America let out a collective “Are we there, yet?” several times during Week […]

Week #85 started off lousy and then got worse, and Trump’s personal behavior (even for him) hit new lows. Other than that, though… First on Friday we got the news that Allen Weisselberg, Trump’s long time accountant, CFO of the Trump organization and the man who prepares Trump’s tax returns, has been granted immunity by Robert Mueller

We’re in “Even for him!” territory again. The Trump Era weeks keep getting stranger and stranger, and this one ratcheted up the crazy more than a few notches. You know, the nonstop barrage of daily insanity we all swore we would never allow ourselves to be normalized. Well, guess again. The human instinct for self-preservation

Week #81 saw President Trump singled out for censure by the United Nations Human Rights Council for the second time in 2018, this time for his relentless attacks on the free press, saying these “attacks are strategic, designed to undermine confidence in reporting and raise doubts about verifiable facts.” To prove the UN correct in

Let’s start with a little Good News/Bad News to kick off Week #80 of The Trump Era, shall we? The Good News is that Articles of Impeachment were finally drawn up in the House of Representatives. The Bad News? They were against (!) Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the guy in charge of the Russiagate

Move over, Black Tuesday, Black Monday is the new standard for American national catastrophes. Week # 79 of the Trump Era began appropriately enough on Friday the 13th, and this was one Friday the 13th that lived up to the hype. As frightening, lurid and unsettling as it was, however, Friday the 13th was merely

Turns out the President was the big winner in Week #78. The President of Russia, but still… Yes, this was the week where Trump dropped all pretense about who he is truly working for as he openly pursued the agenda of his boss, Vladimir Putin. He is due to report to Putin in Helsinki in

Week # 77 found America celebrating its 242nd Birthday, our second Independence Day with Trump in office, with many of the major televised celebrations not-so-subtly defying Trumpism with Latin immigrant-themed musical programs served up to accompany the fireworks, including the (!) West Point Orchestra and Glee Club at the Macy’s Fireworks Show on the East

Week #76 dawned on Friday with Trump killing his own party’s immigration reform bill via Tweet, when he urged Congress to ignore the issue until after the election. Which makes a perverse sort of Trumpian sense because they seem to have imprisoned all those children without keeping track of who they belong to, and have no

Well? What to say, what to say… Hard to pinpoint what was the biggest outrage of Week #74, President Trump getting fleeced by the fat kid with the weird hair, a US president making enemies of our allies, the President of The United Sates putting children in detention camps and blaming it on the party
