No that never happened and I wake up every day to other things that never happened but the man whose name will not be mentioned believes they did happen--along with his acolytes: Bannon, Miller,and Conway. These 3 are especially dangerous because they did not need congressional approval and they are a direct link to that alternative right universe. Like Massachusetts voters were bused into NH to vote and that's why he lost. Like he lost the popular vote because of fraud. Miller, this past weekend, flat out stated that some of the Prez's decisions are not reviewable judicially. The mouth called Sean told State Department employees (especially those protected by Civil Service and therefore not appointed) that if they disagreed with the decisions of the Prez, they should resign. There are now groups of federal employees from multiple agencies meeting off hours to discuss strategies of resistance. And, oh by the way, they all got kicked in the privates by those Left coast judges. I mean "so called judges". This is scary stuff. Scarier still: his support has not wavered about his hard core backers. They buy all of this shit and in their paranoia believe it confirms all too well everything they hate about us.
So we have a Secretary of Education who does not believe in public education. An EPA Administrator who does not believe in climate change. A HHS Secretary who wants to destroy Obamacare. An Attorney General named after Confederate generals who wants to dilute voting rights. Flynn was forced to resign because of trust not because he got caught being cozy with Vlad and the boys over there in Moscow. Mitch and Paul have no guts and continue to acquiesce. So, we end up thinking Lindsey Graham and John McCain are "good" senators. At least our neighboring Senator from Maine voted against Devos along with her Alaskan colleague.
I do, however, want you to know that I have prayed for Ahh-nold to succeed on the Apprentice--just like the Prez asked me to do.
Money is pouring into the coffers of our states Republican state committee to build up big bucks to defeat Elizabeth. Problem is they seemingly cannot find anyone to run against her except that fool Curt Schilling. BTW, why did she get censured only to have Mitch let her male colleagues read the same thing?
The Post and the Times are really going strong and their readership has actually ticked up. But, much like the rest of us, I wonder how this can be sustained.
Enough.
Reading two new (for me) mystery writers from Northern Europe--Sara Blaedel who writes about Copenhagen and Asa Larsson who writes about Stockholm.
SPORTS TALK
I admit I did not see all of the Pats victory. Missed most the second quarter and half of the third but then was all in. I am clearly a fair weather fan--when the seas got rough, I went for a walk but obviously, like them, did not sink. We are so lucky to be the city of victory parades. Hate, hate, hate Bob, Bill, and Brady (hows that for alliteration?) for their personal side; but oh my they have created quite a franchise. Goodell and some NFL owners whine anonymously about not liking Kraft's remarks as he hosted the trophy and they did not like the clown T-shirt worn by Matt Patricia. You know what--tough shit. Win 5 super bowls and we can talk.
Shalom
