we’ll get back to ya

Imagine the Trump administration as something a Hollywood writer is trying to pitch: “So POTUS is such a clown that he can’t get anything done. His FBI director is a loveable lush who wears a T-shirt that says “Federal Booby Inspector”. His Secretary of Defense — no, wait — his Secretary of War is a super bro who calls himself Odin and threatens to Ragnarok-out on anything unAmerican. Even the babealicious blondes (we could get Sydney Sweeney or Elle Fanning to play them all) in his cabinet can’t get a rise out of Congress. So, he –are you ready for this? — he sues himself to get the money for a private goon squad and wreaks comical chaos. Plus he has a sordid sexual history always simmering as a subplot.”

Nah, forget it. It’s just too preposterous, even for an industry that gave us Jar Jar Binks.

I’ve said it often that it seems the tide is changing toward Trump, only to be disappointed. And I’ve said often that this time is different. But how it’s different this time is that old school GOPers are starting to speak out against the dreadful slush fund, the ballroom and the arch. Hopefully they will get an earful of complaints from their constituents when they’re home for the holiday. Plus, we’re just five months and change from the mid-terms.

We’re in a profound stretch of history. Let’s hope the good guys win. Happy Memorial Day Monday for the U.S. Please lift one for Eddie Weekfall, a Marine Corps boot camp buddy of mine who was killed in ‘nam.
