The 2018 article in certain spots could have easily been applied to today, although I think we are up to 17 on the Spinal Tap meter for absurdity. Maybe some noise this week if Trump picks a total sycophant to replace Powell as opposed to someone with a faint shadow of credibility (he will only mention Powell and his poor short game if in fact he does announce his successor). My ill informed guess is he’ll post a Christmas “Truth” wishing ill on his usual cast of perceived vermin, and say how things have never been better. Unfortunately, this is what a benign “Truth” looks like these days. Probably best for personal hygiene to tune it out for a bit and hope everyone gets an opportunity to do just that this week.
Is Trump the only politician who can ruin national holidays which should be PR softballs. Who screws up “Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight” by appending “except you f’ing a’holes who we want to rot in hell”.
A very minor, but appreciated, Christmas jab, looking for something a bit more spirited as we get closer to the big day. 🙂
