I have to agree with the article. Trump has exposed the Republican party as having about as much in common with “conservatism” as oil has in common with water. Let him finish off what is left of the Republican party. Maybe then we can get a new party that is actually conservative.
Since it was in the New York Times it obviously was fake news!
Or, as I pointed out in another thread, an example of how the New York Times, as a real media outlet, gives voice to a wide range of opinions. The Times own lead editorial on Sunday began:
To the contrary, it turns out that Robert Mueller and his team of prosecutors and investigators found “substantial evidence” that President Trump broke federal law on numerous occasions by attempting to shut down or interfere with the nearly-two-year Russia investigation.
In addition to pointing to possible criminality, the report revealed a White House riddled with dysfunction and distrust, one in which Mr. Trump and his aides lie with contempt for one another and the public."
Trump insisted today that his people do follow his orders. I believe this tees up potential perjury charges against Don McGahn and several other aides.
Yeah. Interesting play by Trump. The way to show he’s not a completely weak and feckless leader is to make the case that he’s really actually quite good at obstruction.
Image comment: This is an image from a movie called “Dodgeball.” It’s from a moment in the movie when one squad of Dodgeballers attempts a strategy that is likely to fail, yet the color commentator, played here by Jason Bateman, attempts to add validity to the proceedings.
This image is included with the post as a form of humorous added commentary. In many circumstances such an image, or “meme” as the kids are calling it, would stand on its own merits, but I do not want to run afoul of the use of images rules.
So, in summary: Image. Dodgeball. Comment about strategy. Funny.
