It's the Great Trumpkin!
Another bad week for Putin's stooge, another good week for the world. And it's only Tuesday.
Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly struck down the ban on transgender military people tweeted last summer, saying that among other things, it violates due process. Out of sight in his office in the Pentagon, Secretary Mattis quietly celebrated.
The border patrol finally caught up with this would-be drug mule/terrorist, currently in a detention center in San Antonio. Rosa Maria Hernandez is ten, developmentally disabled, and suffers from cerebral palsy, but you can't be too careful. She was taken from her hospital bed after emergency surgery and may be deported to Mexico, a country she left at the age of three months. Sleep well, America.
The man who unleashed ICE while he was Secretary of Homeland Security, John Kelly, went on Fox todouble down on his racism offer his analysis of the Civil War. Like his boss, he thinks it could have been avoided through compromise. He also praised the patriotism of Robert E. Lee. Kelly may have been a Marine general, but he's no Smedley Butler. Or much of a historian. But whoever called him the "moral center" of the Trump regime was right-on.
Gov. Ricardo Rossello of Puerto Rico has cancelled the $300 million contract FEMA awarded to Whitefish Energy Holdings, a tiny Montana outfit with, as they say, close ties to corrupt Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Tiny as in two people, but they promised to hire more to get the lights back on by December at the latest. The grift, it is strong in this one.
Robert Mueller's Mischief Night gift was the indictments of Paul Manafort and a minor player called Gates, but the really intriguing news was the guilty plea of one George Papadopoulos, to lying to the FBI. The information is fascinating, especially the part about a mysterious European called The Professor (Moriarty?) and Papadopoulos's energetic attempts to get a Trump-Putin face-to-face during the campaign. (Like the Paul Sorvino character in GoodFellas, Putin apparently doesn't like to use the phone.) Then there's a woman claiming to be Putin's niece...just read it. As always, the MacGuffin was the elusive "dirt on Hillary." Trump has already denounced Papadopoulos as a "liar," so I completely believe him. Oh, and he barely even heard of campaign chairman Manafort. Manafort? Is that a Mexican name?
O media, o mores...Trumpologists are having a rough time of it. Mark Halperin was fired by NBC for sexual misconduct while at ABC. (Being a creep makes you unemployable, at least for a while, but I didn't know the toxicity reached across corporate lines.) Sean Hannity came near apoplexy during a rant about the "crimes" of "President Hillary Clinton." He may need a change in medication. His entire network is a laughingstock for its efforts to distract from the Russia story by reporting absolutely anything else, up to and including the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. I was glad to hear about the popularity of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups -- I love those things. Hey, Doocy, who killed William Desmond Taylor?
Robert Mueller is finding out what it feels like to be Hillary Clinton. He's now under siege from the Murdoch cartel, Alex Jones, John Kelly and the rest of the White House, Russian troll-bots, and for all I know King Xi of China. (Well, that's what Trump calls him.) So here...
That glowing, globular orange thing? I'm afraid it's not a pumpkin.
