Draining the Swamp
Trump’s draining the swamp by cutting taxes and regulations. And now the economy is booming.
But he’s slapping tariffs on friends and foes alike. Friends can get exemptions. But to do that they have to hire lobbyists to work the bureaucratic maze.
No FBI Bias Here
Inspector General Michael Horowitz looked into the FBI investigation of Hilary Clinton’s email server. He released his report on Friday and testified before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday.
Some of his more interesting findings included text messages from lead FBI agent Peter Strzok. He referred to Hillary as the “future prez.” Strzok also said he would “stop Trump.” Still, the IG found no FBI bias in the investigation results.
No FBI Bias Here
Here’s Trey Gowdy asking how Jim Comey could draft an exonerating press release six weeks before the FBI’s interview with Hillary took place.
If you’ve got some time on your hands watch the entire I.G. hearing here on C Span:
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.
