TRUMP WAGS THE DOG

He will do anything, anything to get re-elected and stave off an impeachment trial in the Senate.

Starting a war with Iran is, for Trump, a no-brainer.

Are the Democrats going to let him get away with it?

THE SHEER SIMPLE-MINDEDNESS OF TRUMP

“They are all corrupt. They are all terrible people,” he said about the Ukrainians.
Reprinted in the Times story about Mick Mulvaney’s pattern of lying about his role in the Ukraine scandal–and a whole lot of other stuff that went down.

COULD ANYONE IN HIS/HER RIGHT MIND THINK TRUMP CARES ABOUT THE HOMELESS?

It’s probably just his latest excuse for opening more camps.

IF. . .

the Democratic establishment succeeds, once again, in sabotaging Bernie Sanders’ campaign, they will all but ensure Trump’s re-election, as they ensured his election in 2016, by drastically depressing Democratic turnout.

ADD ANOTHER ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT

Trump just committed another crime, retweeting the Washington Examiner’s outing the whistleblower.

And the Washington Examiner should be prosecuted.

BLOOMBERG NEWS CASHES OUT ITS INTEGRITY

Turns into the media arm of Bloomberg’s presidential run:

First it swore it was’t investigating Bloomberg’s Democratic rivals because Mike wasn’t going to allow it to investigate him.

Now.. . .

Jake Johnson at Common Dreams reports on Bloomberg News’s hit job on Sanders and Warren.

Mike Bloomberg should sell Bloomberg, but he won’t because he wants it to megaphone defamatory stories about his rivals.

This is oligarchy in action.

THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED AN HISTORIC DISTRICT

Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation has unearthed more history about the historic brownstones on lower Fifth Ave. within the historic district, that the city is proposing to allow a developer to replace with another anonymous, ahistorical investment-opportunistic apartment tower.

With every tower that de Blasio and ex-Goldman Sachs, now Deputy Mayor Glen wave through, I might add, the stock of affordable housing in NYC dwindles further.

De Blasio’s plan is to let the developers chew holes in NYC landmarked historic districts.

Fortunately for NYC, Glen is leaving the administration.

But don’t worry, de Blasio will find someone worse.

JEANINE PIRRO’S TASTE, DIGNITY, AND RESTRAINT

as well as her honesty were perhaps overstated a bit last night on Saturday Night Live, but, hey, that’s the prerogative of parody.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE BEN SASSE REALLY, REALLY STAND UP

I mean, it’s not like Sen. Sasse postures about standing up for justice, and then invariably buckles to McConnell’s malign designs, and then blubbers out an excuse, is it?

So we know he’ll stand up for American democracy against Donald Trump.

Right?

CIVILITY CAN COVER A MULTITUDE OF SINS

Isn’t it great to hear Pelosi say she doesn’t really care what the Republicans say?

I mean, after that glassy-eyed ghoul McConnell launched his latest fraudulent, traitorous rant?
