In Limbo

Fallout...what else can you call it?...reaction has been fast and furious...as the WALL surrounding Trump continues to collapse...as the latest departure, Mad Dog, sent shockwaves throughout Congress...listen, kids, this resignation perks the ears of the Republicans...in both sides of it...the Reps AND the Senators...

James Mattis, is the guy with the Mad Dog nickname...and has been a stabilizing factor in the regime...until now...he heard, like all of us, Trumps desire to pull the US troops out of Syria...he went in to meet with the bloke presently occupying the White House...to have him reverse course...delay his actions...giving him rationale and the reasons we have our military there...alas, his discourse went out the door, just as he did...gave his resignation because he could no longer support what Trump is doing...

Trump tried to save face, citing that Mad Dog was retiring, in yet another innocuous Tweet...Mattis would have none of that, and released his resignation letter...another slap in the face of Donny...oh yea, and the further de-escalation of troop presence abounds, with another 7,000 military to leave Afghanistan...which adds to the instability in the area...I guess...anyway, Russia is pleased with the Trump actions...you tell me, what's going on...

This trumped the situation of the week...Trump shutting down the Government if he doesn't get funding for his WALL...there was a package deal sent to him, yesterday...all sides felt it was a compromise that would work...many of Congress heard just that, and packed up and went home to their states...BUT...nope, he reversed his course, and REJECTED it...get back to DC...

The House reacted quickly and came forth with another proposal...passed the House, with the amount of cash that Trump wanted...on to the Senate it goes...to vote on today...hope they have a quorum...will take 60 of the 100 to pass it...and, the hot rumor is...NO!...expect a SHUT DOWN, kids...

The 3rd part of the week...the Mueller Report...and Trump's attempt to get it banned...have the acting AG to find a way to block whatever is in it...Russian Collusion?...as the past members of Trump's community are talking...to avoid prison time...more of that WALL crumbling...the word on the street, er, in the know, is that it will be released in mid February...

So, you see what is taking up the airwaves and the web net...expect today to be another doozy...actions, reactions, and we ALL watch in amazement...what else would you call it?...

Geez, I'm up at 3:11, like AM!!!...need sleep...

F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

O Yeah!

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...
