Weasel politics

Eric Trump thinks the press should not have reported that his father's resort hires. He thought they should cover a dam accident in central america. Um, you can do both. But I get the idea that certain things are covered and others aren't. The exception in South Carolina for a adoption agency to be prejudiced against their views is one story.

I will never be for a democrat or other politician who wants things not to be democratic. Mitch McConnell doesn't support democratizing moves. He imagines federal workers will all go and work on democratic campaigns. I've seen memes from conservatives about how letting all the immigrants in is another way of getting more votes. Or that free college is about making more democrats. Winning at any cost is what truly disgusts me, and I don't like it from the democrats either.

I can't help but think Schultz's vague proposals are like Aaron Burr, the villain of the musical Hamilton. "Talk less, smile more," to which Hamilton has the rejoined, "If you're got nothing to stand for, what will you fall for?" To be sure Hamilton is loose with history, but it feels true.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that God elected Trump. I had not heard that she had a direct line with God. By extension she must be doing God's work by lying for him.

The Trump administration's willingness to say anything should give them shame.
