Count this

In a few hours, "National Character Counts Week" will be over.  Some highlights:

Gen. John Kelly lied about a member of Congress and expressed "pity" for Americans who have never been in the military (President Bonespurs excepted, of course).  He then took questions from reporters, but only those related to, or acquainted with, Gold Star families.  When he left, the Sanders woman asserted that it was "highly inappropriate" to debate him because he is a four-star Marine general.  Even David Petraeus found that seriously fucked.

The Gold Star Johnson family reported that Trump, who says he was "very nice" to them, still does not seem to know LaDavid Johnson's name.  His funeral took place yesterday.

Col. Jack Jacobs, NBC military analyst, suggested that Kelly "just apologize" for his performance on Thursday.  Now Trump can tweet abuse at Jacobs, a Medal of Honor recipient.  Or maybe just go out to Arlington and take a dump on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The Attorney General, Jefferson "Poison Dwarf" Sessions, would not rule out arresting journalists who write things he doesn't like.  Meanwhile, the "Justice" Department has begun investigating "black identity" organizations, while ignoring the violent activities of white nationalist terrorists.  Sessions is still prosecuting the woman who laughed at his confirmation hearing.  Perjury is not funny, missy!

After spending millions of dollars and countless hours "investigating" the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Rep. Tres Gowdy finally acknowledged, "Whether or not [security] could have gotten there in time, they couldn't.  I don't think there's any question about that."  So, no order to "stand down," from Sec. Clinton or anyone else.  No apology either.  But Sen. James Inhofe (R-Dumbass) says comparisons between Niger and Benghazi make him "physically sick" because Hillary totally knew all about the Libyan attack months in advance and probably ordered it, or at least paid for it.  Something.  Hearings!  More hearings, damn it!

Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands continue to struggle with the aftermath of nightmarish hurricanes.  The last five real presidents appeared together at a benefit concert at Texas A & M which raised $31 million for relief.  Trump played golf.  Thousands of people from the island territories are expected to relocate to the mainland, where among other things, they will have to deal with resurgent racism whipped up by the administration.

Vladimir Putin says we should treat Trump with more respect.  Perhaps he wishes he had chosen a less despicable stooge.

Trump tweeted a plug for a new book by Robert Jeffress, which he almost certainly has not opened except to search for his name in the index.  Jeffress, a Southern Baptist and big-time Trumpanzee, has called Mormonism a "cult" and says the Roman Catholic Church is evidence of "the genius of Satan."

Robert Mugabe has been appointed a goodwill ambassador of the World Health Organization.  Best face I can put on this:  he's 93 and will die soon.

Tom Price is back in the private sector, but his wife, a Georgia state legislator, wants to put people who are HIV-positive in "quarantine" camps.  Not clear if this would include heterosexual celebrities like Magic Johnson and Charlie Sheen.

We still don't know precisely what led to the "Niger ambush," as it is being called.  Let me guess:  Obama's fault?

Raqqa, or what's left of it, has been pronounced ISIS-free.  Let me guess:  Trump's genius?

Ayatollah Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, says without any evidence that Trump is not as stupid as he seems.  Of course, they have never met.
