Real Oval Office Guests
Public Political Bickering
Pelosi and Schumer visited Trump and Pence in the Oval Office. At least I think Pence was visiting. He was plastered silent and motionless into a chair.
After the photo-op no one shooed the press away. So they stayed. This was more transparency than Nancy could bear and she kept asking them to leave. But they stayed anyway and recorded the four – okay, three – of them bickering about five billion dollars for the Mexican wall.
No one asked the Mexicans to cough up the cash, but the president said he would be proud to shut down the government until he gets the money from Congress.
Republican Senators later did some public political bickering of their own and backed away from Trump’s threat, but The Donald got the last word.
Biden / Trump Debate 2020
Debatable Qualifications for President
Joe Biden says he’s “the most qualified person in the country to be president.” If he can claw his way past Sparticus, the non-hispanic Beto, the non-native American Cherokee from Massachusetts and others to debate the Stable Genius the 2020 campaign might be even more entertaining than the 2016 campaign. Come to think of it, it should be entertaining even if Joe doesn’t get past that bunch.
Return to Civility

According to Rasmussen Voters disagree with Hillary’s endorsement of incivility while Republicans are in control.
Return to Civility
But, “unlike her, they don’t expect a return to civility if Democrats return to power in Congress.”
Mob Psychology

Trump denounces Democrats as an “angry mob.”
But Democrats insist they’re not a mob.
And Hillary says they’ll stop being a mob when they get back in power.
Roughing The Justice

Daniel Henninger says half the Senate Judiciary Committee created a new legal standard – “I believe Christine.”
This new standard for court nominees (and surely others in and outside politics) would be that judgment can be rendered in the absence of substantive argument or any legal standard relating to corroboration, cross-examination or presumption of innocence.
And Andrew McCarthy claims, “The real objective was not to destroy Kavanaugh but to convey what Democrats have in store for any conservative who seeks high public office.”
But you don’t have to be a conservative running for high office. Here’s a woman accusing a little boy of sexually assaulting her when he walked by with his mom.
The little boy was crying and couldn’t say if he was conservative or liberal.
