Yesterday
President Trump pardoned Scudder Libby and some say it’s a message sent to
Michael Koehn that maybe if you cooperate with me, I’ll pardon you, too. It drags Libby into the press again and it
revives all that stuff about Dick Chaney and the Gulf War. The big question is whether Trump is going
to pardon everybody who is now under investigation. It seems according to Comey, who’s book came
out yesterday- - that Trump was obsessed with public relations and putting the
right spin on things and to “investigate” the source of this story about the
Russian prostitutes. It’s hard to
nagivate these muddy waters.
Trump
last night at six o clock local time got time on the networks to announce that
he was bombing Syrian chemical plants that produced all of those chemical
weapons. I don’t have any complaints
about the basic content of the brief speech.
It seemed reasonable to me. Now they are saying it isn’t just chlorine gas
but saran too, and that’s a whole lot worse.
But “Mad Dog Mattis” says that it’s a “one and done” type of opporation
and that this won’t just be the opening volley of the start of a World
War. We need to pray for our
President. Now they say that Michael
Koehn made a secret trip to Prague in the summer of the 2016 campaign because
this would be a link in the whole Russian collusion thing.
[earlier Friday] Mike Pompeo was
testifying before the Senate in his confirmation hearing for Secretary of State
and the democrats wanted to know how he felt about gay people. They said he could get the job even with a
negative vote out of the committee.
President Trump has delayed his missile decision beyond the 48 hours he
said he would. Now he is back-peddling.
Paul Ryan yesterday
said he would not run for his house seat this year. 24 Republicans in congress
have decided not to run this year as opposed to only nine democrats. Ryan says he gets along with Trump OK but I
think we know otherwise. Trump’s own
Justice Department is at war with their commander and chief. We hear about office “break ins” and we think
people sneaking around trying to sabotage the government or something. Obviously I wouldn’t want my stuff broken
into in the dead of night or whatever. I
don’t think they found anything they can use or we would have heard about
it. Trump now wants to renegotiate the
Trans Pacific Partnership, I hear. Of
course if Trump were smart I guess he’d consider Wall Street a “poll” that he
can’t ignore as some sort of a negative referendum on his performance. Now Trump is under fire for announcing ahead
of time that he’s going to drop bombs on Syria.
It seems as if Trump can’t win for losing. The media is on his tail and they’re not
letting go. I guess I kind of feel sorry
for the guy at this point. But the funny
thing is the republicans control everything and still Trump is struggling. But to put myself in Trump’s head right now
he has to be thinking that maybe Muller is “stuck” like Wheel of Fortune people
are “stuck” and you kind of sense it ahead of time. The clues aren’t falling together. So will Muller slip away quietly in the
night?
This
computer is on its last legs. One time I
got an insert boot disk and press enter.
I tried again and the computer started up normally. I waited by the laundry room at eight thirty
for more bathroom supplies but nobody else was there including Augustine. I went out and bought more cigarettes. John Kip said he didn’t want the three loaners
back. My phone for a brief time didn’t have a dial
tone this morning. When I got a dial
tone Paul’s number was busy. Today is
Saturday April 14, 2018 and tomorrow is the Long Beach Grand Prix. Monday they hold the Boston marathon, which
is a tax holiday so taxes are due Tuesday April 18th. I went out and looked at the lunch and
dinner menus and won’t be changing either of them.
