Church and Chick-fil-A
We all know you can indict a ham sandwich. But the CEO of Twitter got busted by the culture cops for buying a chicken sandwich.
Jack Dorsey bragged in a tweet that he got a 10% discount using a Chick-fil-A app. But Soledad O’Brien wasn’t impressed. She tweeted, “This is an interesting company to boost during Pride month, Jack.”
Church and Chick-fil-A
The owner of Chick-fil-A opposes same sex marriage. And, apparently, an American eating at Chick-fil-A during Gay Pride month is the moral equivalent of a Saudi noshing a BLT during Ramadan.
So Dorsey tweeted his apology – “You’re right. Completely forgot about their background.”
Norms Have Changed
In a PBS interview Bill Clinton pined for the old days. He griped that norms have changed. And you can’t have your way with people against their will anymore.
Norms
Well, as Jimmy Carter used to say, “life ain’t fair.”
What Rocket Man Told Trump
Nobody but the translator really knows what Rocket Man told Trump at their summit in Singapore. But we do know Kim wouldn’t be there if not for his nuclear weapons. His nukes are how he communicates his fearsome awesomeness to the world.
Communicators
Speaking of communicating his fearsome awesomeness – where would President Trump be without his Twitter account?
Could be a long negotiation.
Trudeau Drives Trump Bonkers
A Justin Trudeau press conference seemed to drive President Trump bonkers. The Canadian Prime Minister spoke as Trump boarded Air Force One following the G7 meeting in Quebec. The president called Trudeau dishonest and weak. Strong words for the head of state of your best ally. Trump trade warrior in chief, Peter Navarro. then piled on saying there’s a special place in Hell for Trudeau. is it hot enough there to make your eyebrows fall off?
G7 American Allies Battle
There was discord during the buildup to the G7 meetings of rich nations in Quebec. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau was insulted because he thinks Trump considers Canada to be a security threat.
But President Trump did say he had to hit American allies with high tariffs for national security reasons.
G7 American Allies
Then on Thursday, which happened to be the D-Day anniversary, French President Macron took a shot at Trump saying, “No leader is forever.” He also said, “the six G7 countries without the U.S. are bigger than the American market.”
The next day Trump waded into the meetings insisting that Russia be included.
