Forever Young

Aretha Franklin, John McCain and the 1960s
"Hope I die before I get old," the Who sang at Woodstock as the 1960s hurtled to their end. Indeed, the decade and its echoes made premature legends of so many — Kennedy to King, Hendrix to Joplin to Morrison. They became emblems of an era, and the packaging of their virtues and vices has never really stopped...That's the crossroads where both Aretha Franklin and John McCain stood — shaped by the decade that reshaped so much of American life but propelled into the 1970s and all the way to 2018

So we have Bill Clinton jamming at Aretha Franklin’s funeral, Bush/Obama at John McCain’s funeral, Carter probably saving the world, and Trump is going to a rally for himself because he needs affirmation for a 60% disapproval rating.

Remember this day.- Alt Dept of Labor tweet

I'm sorry- when the McCain family requested that Trump not be at John McCain's Funeral

President Trump said yesterday, we respect his service to the country"
Hypocritical. - Linda Rothwell

Pence Takes A Last Poke At McCain Saving Obamacare
Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday that Republicans plan to give another try to repealing and replacing ObamaCare if they do well enough in November’s elections.

Trump Has Been Firing People He Doesn't Like. I'm Surprised He Hasn't Hired A Hitman Like Putin.
A senior Justice Department lawyer says a former British spy told him at a breakfast meeting two years ago that Russian intelligence believed it had Donald Trump "over a barrel," according to multiple people familiar with the encounter.
The lawyer, Bruce Ohr, also says he learned that a Trump campaign aide had met with higher-level Russian officials than the aide had acknowledged, the people said.

Please, everyone, never call him “President Trump.” It only encourages him. - Andy Borowitz

Putin Sure Has A Lot Of Bagmen
A former Paul Manafort associate who pleaded guilty to a lobbying crime admitted that he helped foreign donors give money to President Donald Trump’s Inaugural Committee.
In a plea agreement made public Friday, prosecutors outlined other crimes that the lobbyist, Sam Patten, admitted to but wouldn’t be charged with. Among them was “causing foreign money” to be paid to the Trump inaugural committee. Patten signed off on the allegation.

Trump is paranoid for many reasons, so it seems...

Trump, Cohen wanted to buy decades of killed stories from National Enquirer
President Donald Trump and his then-attorney Michael Cohen devised a plan to purchase decades worth of unflattering stories from the National Enquirer's publisher, according to The New York Times.

Nixon: "I was a paranoid criminal."
Reagan: "I was an affable dunce."

President Donald Trump said Thursday that civilian employees of the federal government will not receive raises in 2019.
In doing away with the 2.1 percent across-the-board pay increase that was scheduled to take effect in January, Trump said he was working "put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course."

As the 5th of 7 kids — the first to graduate from high school & college— my family knows what it's like to see intergenerational poverty interrupted at the hands of a good public education.That’s why we are going to raise teacher pay and put more money into public schools. - Andrew Gillum

I Thought U. S. Citizens Have Rights. Nope.
On paper, he's a devoted U.S. citizen.
His official American birth certificate shows he was delivered by a midwife in Brownsville, at the southern tip of Texas. He spent his life wearing American uniforms: three years as a private in the Army, then as a cadet in the Border Patrol and now as a state prison guard.
But when Juan, 40, applied to renew his U.S. passport this year, the government's response floored him. In a letter, the State Department said it didn't believe he was an American citizen.

Over 500 children are still waiting to be reunited with their parents, five weeks after the administration's deadline to reunify families. Every day they are made to wait is a tragedy. - Hillary Clinton

But her emails...

FBI pushes back on unfounded Trump claim that China hacked Hillary Clinton’s email
The FBI on Wednesday pushed back on an unfounded claim by President Trump that Hillary Clinton’s emails were hacked by China, saying it had found no evidence that the private servers she used while secretary of state had been compromised.
Trump asserted early Wednesday, without citing evidence, that China had hacked Clinton’s emails, and he said the Justice Department and the FBI risked losing their credibility if they did not look into the matter further.

White House Throws Paper Towel Metaphors At Puerto Rico
The White House on Tuesday said it will continue to support Puerto Rico's efforts to account for its dead after the toll from Hurricane Maria was raised from 64 to nearly 3,000 following the release of a report sponsored by the island's government.

So now we're going to purge the FBI of every agent assigned to monitor Russia. Putin must be laughing his balls off. - Jeff Tiedrich

The Post Office? The Post Office?
The United States Postal Service has released the entire federal security clearance application of a former CIA officer running for Congress, in what experts say is a highly unusual and perhaps unprecedented move, given the extensive, highly personal nature of the information contained in such documents.

President Trump is sounding more and more like a mob boss. At a press pool this morning, he referred to America as “this thing of ours.”- Conan O'Brien
