Donald Trump wants to bring a lie detector into the White House. Rest in Peace dramatic irony. You had a good run.
People other than Voyageur have noticed a Trump smell.
Not me — but plenty of people. The best people.
*taint* – what a glorious use of the word in this context.
Jared Polis looks like Doug Bruce compared to this woman……

Cynthia Nixon is taking the Free Stuff agenda to new heights. She really should have stayed on Sex in the City.
This may be the greatest thing on the interweb today…
Badly Named 14ers:
Mount Wilson in the San Juan Mountains
Elevation: 14,252 ft (4,344 m)
Rank in Colorado: 16th highest
The Bad: Calling a peak "Mount Wilson" is almost equivalent to naming a child "John Smith". In the US alone there are 30 other mountains with the same name or close variants like "Wilson Mountain" or "Wilson Peak", including a nearby one in Colorado. It is not even named for someone famous, but instead for a topographer with the Hayden Survey, A.D. Wilson.
The Good: At least it is named for someone with a significant connection to Colorado instead of someone who never even visited Colorado.
Possible Fixes: Total renaming.
Major geographic features should not be named after people, generally. It is even worse when the person's achievements are not equal to the geography they are attached to. Think of the Never Summer Range. What a great name. Now imagine that some bright spark had decided to name them the William Pennington Range for the 23rd Speaker of the House of Representatives. Dreadful.
The silver mining in the area could provide a better name. Mount Silverbell?
How about Mount Trumpstink?
Then, Mount Trumpstink II?
Mount Trumpstink III?
And so forth?
"What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
So you know, both of the Wilson 14ers are named for A.D. Wilson. I've done them both; have you? Mt. Silverbell? Sounds too much like Tinker Bell.
Yes, they are climbs, with hand-over-hand moves and exposure, not walk-up trails.
How about a wildflower, Mt. Rose Crown? I would have suggested Mt. Sky Pilot for the blue alpine flowers, but there apparently is one in British Columbia. (Damn)
How about just leaving them named as they are?
So, Denny pedant agrees: Mount Trumpstink it is!
What would Friday be without seeing what the nation's cartoonists think of the weeks events? Here are two of my favorite from Politico:
Who stole my strawberries? This is a national security issue!!!
Oh great, Kavanaugh has a sports betting addiction. That's not a problem, is it?
So is he for sale, for rent, or just hoping the Russians don't ask too much from him?
