The New York Times Editorial Board's assessment of *rump:
In 2020, we’ll have a lot of trash that needs to be taken out to the dump.
Sign seen in a New Mexico border town:
Interesting interview on NPR yesterday — essential employees who aren’t paid are suing the government. An attorney representing the employees said:
The kicker:
Doing the math: roughly 420,000 employees working, without pay. Guesstimates of salary impact vary, but someplace around $50,000/year is a common figure. For ease of math, I’m going to guess $52,000, $1,000 per week. That means $420,000,000 in “liquidated damages” each week — $1.26 billion when we (in 2 days) complete day 21. Plus interest, since government is STILL working on the liquidated damages calculation from the 2013 shutdown. I think the employer (feds) pays the legal fees, too.
Naturally, some employees will not join the suit and seek damages. And the suit won't help those employees this week — but eventually, the feds are going to pay.
That begs the question: have so many attorneys in the DOJ been furloughed that there will be no one available to respond to the lawsuit?
Trump’s America: . . .
Pastor Who Praised Pulse Nightclub Gunman Resigns After Allegedly Paying for Sex
https://nyti.ms/2H52iwB?smid=nytcore-ios-share
Now there's a feel-good story. The article doesn't specify the sex or age of the hookers, but male and underage seem highly likely.
Trouble is, pieces of shit like this are exceptionally resilient. The "my invisible magic sky daddy can beat up your invisible magic sky daddy" crowd has the rubiest rubes. Robert Tilton, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard — they're all still grifting. Here's hoping this Romero clown dies before his comeback can begin in earnest.
I imagine there will soon be a claim that alcohol and/or other substances drove this manly man of God into the arms of Satan, that he is repenting (think Jim Bakker and that performance he gave back in the 1980's when he was caught in flagrante), that Jesus saves, and that all is forgiven.
Guess who walked out of a meeting with Congressional leadership today? He must have seen his shadow. Guess there will be six more weeks of shutdown.
While *rump had gotten tepid support from GOP senators to continue his shutdown, Pelosi's dose of reality caused him to throw a temper tantrum.
But isn't storming out of the room a crucial part of the fart of the deal?
I'm sure! Trump no doubt wrote an entire chapter on it . . . except that he didn't write the book at all.
And in Colorado news, Governor Polis (I sure like writing that!) has announced several more appointments today. A couple mountain counties are going to be short a county commissioner.
