Put Down the Phone, Mr. President
« on: July 02, 2017, 11:48:53 pm »

Dear Reader (Let’s just do this thing), To paraphrase the great man himself, we’re going to live every week like it’s Energy Week.

As I tried to explain on NPR this morning, I think you can look at this week — officially “Energy Week” according to the crackerjack folks working in the White House Communications shop (who I kind of imagine live in a constant state of captive fear of Trump’s Twitter feed, like Craster’s wives).

It began very well for the president (and I said so on Special Report). The Supreme Court backed him up — decisively — on the travel ban. Neil Gorsuch revealed himself to be the conservative star he was sold as. The president had a very good meeting with the prime minister of India. Monday was arguably the best day of Donald Trump’s presidency since his address to Congress.

There were other successes this week too — for the GOP and, by extension, for Trump. The House passed some good stuff. There were actually some solid energy policies unveiled as part of Energy Week. I’m not saying it was the greatest legislative triumph since the Code of Hammurabi was unveiled, but all in all it wasn’t too shabby.

Does it feel like that now?

Conservatives for most of my life argued that character matters. That went by the wayside for many people in 2016.

Yep, but tells us about their own character, so let them keep telling us how it doesn't matter anymore.

You missed the most important one of all. Splatter. I am so tall that by the time my 'tinkle' makes it to toilet it has turned into a yellow rain more than a stream. If I don't have a man urinal, and I don't want to make a mess at someone's house, I have to squat. I don't mind it too much for some of the reasons listed above. And, it makes me feel pretty.

Then I wonder what was the point on attacking Clinton's character.

Same here.

 I've been saying since the general election he needed  to put Twitter away unless it's the official account run by his communication office otherwise he's going to be in big trouble of his own doing.

Oh I agree. We tried to tell people last year that those who tried to say Trump was better than Hillary in the area of character were nuts.

Not that it will stop them from trying again in 4 years to compare his character to whomever runs against him.

Attributes such as "honesty", "character", and "leadership" no longer matter to the average voter. It's all about "gibsmedats", and my kids and grandson will be handed a $30-$40 trillion deficit over the next 10 years. Heck, the Uniparty remains mired in fighting over reductions in the planned growth of spending, let alone actually cutting fat from the federal budget.

That applies to the Department of Defense, too. There are vastly more sinners than saints at the Pentagon. A small, but meaningful first step? Axe the number of general and flag officers by a third. You can start with those that haven't been in a field command for more than five years.
