The Art of The Deal & The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight

Time out for some important news from our Nation's Capital, otherwise known as Washington D.C., or in the words of the incumbent President, "the swamp."

Well what's been going on?

"The Donald" (that's our president) and most Republican legislators campaigned on repealing and replacing Obamacare.  It was going to be all so simple and in the words of the President, "everyone" would end up "beautifully insured."

Today in Congress, this critical issue -- getting rid of Obamacare -- came to a head. When all was said and done, they couldn't do it.

The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight (that's the majority House Republicans) met "The Art of the Deal" (that's The Donald) and the result was a continuation of Obamacare.

As the old cartoon character Pogo famously put it: "we have met the enemy and it is us." That, in a nutshell, was what is was all about for Trump and the Republicans.

What next?

Another Tweet From Our So-Called President

First, let me say I wish I could identify what follows as fiction.  That's what this blog is supposed to be about, right?  But real life intrudes.

As most if not all readers already know, a federal judge appointed by former president George W. Bush, a Republican, and confirmed by the Senate without opposition, issued an order that has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's recent ban on entry into the U.S. by citizens of certain countries.

Or perhaps we should more accurately refer to him as "so-called President Trump."
