How many times have you seen columns called The Worst President Ever? A conservative historian, Max Boot did a good one yesterday, noting that he's been reluctant to label Señor Trumpanzee the worst president in U.S. history. "Some presidents who seemed awful to contemporaries (Harry S. Truman) or simply lackluster (Dwight D. Eisenhower, George H.W. Bush) look much better in retrospect," he wrote.
The extreme-right moron governors of Georgia and Florida finally-- way too late to save their citizens-- ordered statewide lockdowns Wednesday. Last time I looked there were still a dozen states where governors have refused to order lockdowns-- all red Trump states led by extremely cowardly politicians:
During times of crisis we need our leaders to show up and fight for us. Not for corporations. Not for the powerful. For us, the people. Right now we are in the midst of a crisis far greater than any other we have seen in our lifetimes. Where are our leaders that are fighting for us?A number of governors and mayors are stepping up to the task to fill the void that the vacuum of federal leadership has left us. What do they all have in common?
Trump and his allies went bonkers yesterday when Pelosi went on CNN and characterized Trump's Don't Test/Don' Tell policy in response to the spread of the coronavirus "deadly." She told Jake Tapper as well as Americans who haven't been paying attention, exactly what they need to hear about his malevolence, incompetence and narcissism: "His de

The bill itself, which was a compromise concoction with some flimsy, temporary relief for ordinary families that progressives wanted and a hideous grab bag of corporate giveaways and bailouts conservatives insisted on-- while holding working people hostage-- passed 96-0 in the wee hours.
I don't know that there are too many honorable people working for Trump's regime any longer. I imagine most of the left behinds are one version another of lowlife Jewish neo-Nazi Stephen Miller. The actual honorable people have fled mostly long ago.
Donald Trump by Nancy OhanianYesterday, reporting for the Washington Post, Jonathan O'Connell, Ann Marimow and Carol Leonnig wrote that U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan gave the House Democrats the OK to move forward with their emoluments law suit against Trump. The suit is very clear: Trump's private business violates the Constitution’s ban on gifts or payments from foreign governments.
I don't know CNBC lives on my TV and I rarely read their stuff when I'm looking for information. That said, yesterday I found two pieces of theirs-- somewhat related-- worth passing on. Why don't we start with a specific piece of news-- Wall Street gives thumbs down on both Trump's FED picks-- and close with something a bit more general.
I think Trump finally figured out that none of the generals love him and that none would fit into his schemes. It appears that Michael Flynn testified against him and his crooked offspring. And he wound up firing James Mattis, John Kelly and H.R. McMaster after dragging each one of them through the mud and tarnishing their careers with their proximity to his stench.
