Maybe but that other country is getting older on average everyday. If the boomers die off as a major force before the final crack up happens then we have a chance.

This is probably what will happen. I'm too old and fat already, my best bet is probably to become an expat.

This quote from a CNN article left me scratching my head:

By issuing such a blanket denial, Trump leaves himself very little wiggle room. In order for Trump to emerge unscathed, there can be no evidence that emerges that props up Comey's side of the story. Anything that shows Trump was not being entirely truthful with his "no, no, next question" response calls into question his credibility on a whole range of issues and could well lead to open revolt from within his own party.

Ummm OK. So after the nearly daily easily disprovable bald-faced lies Trump tells, *this* is going to be the one that changes the party's mind? Yeah right.

Whoever hasn't "called into question his credibility on a whole range of issues" by now is either willfully ignorant or a complete moron.

Better yet, let's just throw Trump in the lake. If he floats, we burn him at the stake.

(There's a start to a pretty good poem there, if someone wants to finish it).

There once was a witch named The Donald
Who insisted that pussies be fondled
We elected him leader
His addiction to Tweeter
Something something and then a word that rhymes with '-onald'

I got nothin'

There once was a witch named Trump
After only 3 months hit a slump
We threw him in water,
To see if we ought'er
Toss him out on his rump.

Led him to many a boondoggle.

It's not great, and only rhymes if you don't think about it, but it's all I got.

The rest of your poem was fantastic, btw.

Sorry, I'm still trying to catch up with everything. I didn't realize the McCarthy/Ryan conversation that was recorded happened a year ago. I knew it wasn't recent, but I didn't realize just how old it was. That means someone has been holding on to this the whole time and just waiting to release it. I'd think it could also means they have other things recorded - meetings or discussions that were taking place between June and let's say January of this year. If there's even a remotely possibility of that being true, I'd imagine there are some pretty nervous people right now and that this whole thing is much larger and broader than anyone currently realizes. I guess the current thinking is the recordings were possibly from Evan McMullin...former CIA agent McMullin. I can only imagine what a former CIA agent would do if he was around politicians intimating that Russian money and influence was flowing into the U.S. political process.

Why, someone like that might very well become one of the most uncompromising critics of his own party in a way seldom seen in American politics!

While the country gets Ryaned and McConnelled.

I'd change the last line to "While the country gets stiffly McConnelled" because it keeps the meter and sort of maintains the pussy imagery.

I believe the adverb you're looking for is "bigly."

Walt Disney World considers breaking ‘Hall of Presidents’ tradition to silence robot ‘Trump’

According to Motherboard, insiders at Disney state that they are considering breaking with tradition — which saw the last three U.S. presidents given a speaking spot in the patriotic show — and going back to the original program with only George Washington and Abraham Lincoln speaking.

But she has branded it as her achievement in line with her faux-feminist image. By Trump logic, it's blood money however it's used.

(Except when it's given to Lockheed Martin for actual weapons, of course. Then it's about peace and stability.)

You can always count on Trump being Trump:

President Donald Trump sought to rebut claims Monday that he damaged Israeli intelligence capabilities by revealing highly classified information to Russian operatives earlier this month.

"Just so you understand, I never mentioned the word or the name Israel," Trump said ahead of a bilateral session with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump is accused of disclosing the information during an Oval Office session with the Russian foreign minister and the Russian ambassador to the United States on May 10. The information centered on attempts by terrorist groups to load bombs into laptops in an attempt to blow up airliners.

The accusations, however, never suggested that Trump told his Russian visitors that the information came from Israel. Instead, the information Trump revealed is thought to have been so specific that its origin was clear.

Standing alongside Netanyahu on Monday, Trump nearly escaped answering questions about the intelligence dust up. He appeared to walk away from his Israeli counterpart before shaking hands, and then returned to finish the photo-op.

In a chaotic moment, reporters began shouting questions about the matter, leading to aides urgently trying to remove the press from the room.

Trump himself quelled the frenzy, extending his hands to to quiet the shouting and declaring, twice, that he didn't mention Israel in his conversation with the Russians.

A sinkhole opened in front of Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private estate and golf club, on Monday causing minor traffic delays.

The sinkhole is 4-by-4 feet and is believed to be near a newly installed water main, according to a Palm Beach travel alert.

I suppose Trump has come to terms with his own physical ugliness after being photographed a hundred times a day, but jowly, fleshy people should never be lit from below.

It's just a weird, weird picture all around. The whole scene is weird:

No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle. Not even - and I want to make this perfectly clear - not even if they do say "Israel".
