Oh well, I guess, OK.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov says his mother taught him that sharing private conversations
is “indecent.”
“We would like to hope that things
won’t come to such situations in our bilateral relations, which
already have plenty of quite serious problems,” Kremlin
spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters Friday in a conference
call, Bloomberg reported.

Neither Jack nor Donnie was what you could call “qualified” —
I wonder didTHATEVERmatter?
Although everything Kennedy's foreign to me. . .
Forced to pick? Reluctantly Jack, over the latter.
Elizabeth
Warren now sits in Jack's place,
warming his seat in the Senate. If
we were to replace Donnie with Liz,
I
wonder what would be the benefit?
Going
from dumb ass to over-the-top?
One
thing's for damn sure, this has to 🛑. If Donnie loses — please, let it be so! —
you have to wonder, would he actually go?
Would he try to hang on — on some pretense
that, even to FOX, does not makesense?
Would FOX proclaim how this hard lesson,
has now secured Ivanka's succession?
WASHINGTON — At the end of August, when two top intelligence officials asked a Justice Department lawyer whether a whistle-blower’s complaint should be forwarded to Congress, they were told no, Attorney General William P. Barr and his department could handle the criminal referral against the president of the United States.
About four weeks later, the department rendered its judgment: President Trump had not violated campaign finance laws when he urged Ukraine’s president to work with Mr. Barr to investigate a political rival, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
Donald Trump’s new national security adviser studied at the segregated University of the Orange Free State
South Africa at the time was considered a pariah state and faced wide-ranging academic, sporting and cultural boycotts, backed by the UN. The US imposed sanctions in 1986, after Congress pushed through the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act, overriding a veto by Ronald Reagan.
YOUGOTTAPROBLEMWITHSOMETHIN (September 24)
So what my guy supports apartheid?
It's not like he's some kind of Muslim.
(I don't mind good ones who murder journalists,
I mean like the terrorist hoodlums
who cheered from their roof when TWIN TOWERS collapsed.
I remember! That's proof! You've “forgotten”, perhaps?)
And he's not Hispanic. So what's the
panic?
O'BRIEN is not Gonzales.
He's pure European like you and like
me,
is not that sufficient solace.
I would if I could but sadly I can't
resurrect and appoint the late, great George Wallace.
The Trump campaign sent supporters an email on Saturday echoing the
calls by the president and his lawyer,
Rudy Giuliani,
to investigate Mr. Biden over widely discredited allegations of
impropriety. “What is Joe Biden hiding?” the email read. Mr. Trump in
tweets accused Democrats and the media of starting a “Ukraine Witch
Hunt.”
About 10,000 reporters and editors in Beijing are expected to take ‘pilot tests’ next month using Xuexi Qiangguo mobile app
Nationwide exams – with sections on Xi’s political thinking and Marxism – will be held later and press cards will only be issued to those who pass
The
media oversight office made clear that updated press cards, which are
essential for those working in the industry, would only be issued to
journalists who had passed the exam. Those who fail will have one
chance to take the test again, according to the notice.
MYWAY (September 21)
Now, why
couldn't I do something like that
as a way of combating FAKE NEWS?
Reporters,
editors (photographers, too!)
would have to
adhere to my hues

lies with film and transcriptions
Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the intelligence community. . .

What's this about?
How can this be?
Doesn't the government
work just for me?
Say, I decide
(not that I did)
to tell Kim
something CIA
thinks should be hid.
Wonderful guys
my CIA spies
but they never looked
into Kim's eyes.
Something I think
he needs to know
although the CIA
doesn't think so.
Kim's a good guy.
He is my pal.
He writes me letters
that make smile.
If I tell Vlad
stuff that makes him glad.
How is that bad?
I mean so what
if somebody's shot?
Vlad's a great guy.
I like him a lot.
Very strong leader.
A leader like me.
And don't get me started
on President Xi
to whom I say little
lest he tariff me.
TOMORROWLAND (September 18) President Liz? President Bernie? President Pete? Get me a gurney.
President Kamala? President Julian?
President Cory? You gotta be foolin'. President Amy? President Beto? President Biden? “No, you fool Cato!” If market is up, unemployment is down, prepare, my dear readers: four more for the clown. In preparation for coronation, America sing, “Donnie's Я King”. (A gift from afar from Vlad the tsar.)
WASHINGTON — President
Trump is expected Wednesday to revoke a decades-old rule that empowers
California to set tougher car emissions standards than those required by
the federal government — putting the state and the administration on a
path to years of fighting in court.
The move, which has been in
the works for much of the last three years, would overturn the
foundation for California’s role as an environmental leader in reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. By revoking a
special waiver the state has relied on for years to set its own
standards, the administration will be saying that no state can impose
more ambitious pollution controls than those adopted by the federal
government. THESKYISNOTFALLINGANDWHOCARESIFITIS (September 17) Is Donnie the Chicxulub comet

US secretaries of state and energy both explicitly blamed Iran
for the attack but Trump suggests US did not have definitive evidence
...Trump suggested on Monday the US did
not have definitive evidence, adding that he would send the secretary
of state, Mike Pompeo, to Riyadh to investigate.
GIMME SHELTER (September 16)
Well it could be Iran.
I think I would know.
If anyone can.
But I will find out.
Meanwhile. . .locked and loaded.
If it was Iran, they may have been
goaded
by our Allies (the Saudis,
to a man princes).
I will strike back if they can convince
me
it won't cost U.S. money
or U.S. lives.
(Fact of the matter, war gives me hives.)
I'm sending Mike P.
(Pompeo, not Pence.)
To see if he can make any sense
of what's going on,
which side are liars,
(to look out for islands in need of buyers),
if our friends (the Saudis)
are willing to pay
all of the costs of this affray.
Trust me, I won't put
the homeland at risk.
But as a precaution, I'm under my desk.

Is America actually “going to pot”?
It depends on the jurisdiction.
It may be in places where it is thought
puffing on weed need not lead to addiction,
where, indeed, it is agreed Reefer Madness, the movie, is puerile fiction.
Whether or not pot is over the line,
depends where you live, how you define
what is permitted, what is verboten.
(Also in question: who's doin' the votin'.)
While there are many who'd love to stop it,
others'd druther put tax on the profit.
Here's to Tom Brady.
(PBUH).
Who cares that he cheats,
so long as we win.
Let others follow
rules to the letter.
(Which they don't,
but so what?)
Brady cheats better
than anyone ever playing the game
up to when he got caught.
And that was a frame up.
Some lowly flunkies
deflate a football
and Brady's the kingpin
of a crooked cabal?
The likely Israeli spying efforts were uncovered during the
Trump presidency, several former top U.S. officials said.
Based on a detailed forensic analysis, the FBI and other agencies
working on the case felt confident that Israeli agents had placed the
devices, according to the former officials, several of whom served in
top intelligence and national security posts.
JERUSALEM-ON-DON (September 12)
Oh, come on, Politico,
stop being silly
I
would not plant such stuff in DC.
Why
would I have to? There is no need.
Donnie's been pre-approved by Vlad and me. And, besides, you and I know spying on allies is fraught. I promise to never to do it again every time I get caught.
