Which side am I on?

When they're right, they're right.

Chairman Nadler's opening statement was interrupted by one of Glen Beck's Infowhores yelling that "you just want to remove Trump."  Well, duh.

North Korea called Trump "a heedless and erratic old man" after the dotard tweeted that his good friend Kim would not jeopardize their "special relationship" by continuing nuclear missile tests.  They will, and he is.

After three years of attacks and starvation budgets, Trump has finally acknowledged the importance of the Environmental Protection Agency.  He has given them an important job they are to look at "very strongly" -- determining why his huge hard dumps keep blocking up the White House toilet.  Most people with this problem would just add prunes to their diet, but that's why it's good to be the king.

After a Saudi Air Force officer here on a training assignment killed three people and wounded eight others at Pensacola Naval Air Station, Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Matt Gaetz, both certified Trumpites, said the exchange program should be shut down and called it an "act of terror."  I doubt this will impress their boss, who tweeted about how sympathetic King Salman was, and how much his people love America.  (He didn't mention that the shooter may have been responding to his public embrace of three war criminals who killed civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq.)  Another lone nut?  I'm afraid I have to agree with Gaetz and Scott here.  Don't expect that to happen again.

The World Anti-Doping Agency, perhaps my favorite name ever for a bureaucracy, has banned Russia from next year's Olympics and the 2022 World Cup; however, individual Russian athletes may compete if they can pee successfully in a cup and if they can find enough guys for a soccer team.  This is known as a ruling that solves nothing.  Besides, most footballers in Qatar will be too dehydrated to pee for a week.

No one can accuse Trump of tailoring his bigotry to his audience.  He found a crowd of Jewish supporters called the Israeli American Council in Florida and proceeded to tell them they would never vote for a Democrat because their principal concern is protecting their wealth.  He's not repeating an antiquated calumny, he's just making a distinction between good Jews and bad Jews.  The audience understood how not anti-Semitic that is because they chanted "Twelve more years!"  It's not clear if he wished them a merry Christmas.

Christ Church Cathedral in Indianapolis and the Claremont (California) United Methodist Church are definitely on the Naughty list.  They set up Nativity displays that portray the Holy Family locked in cages just to ruin everybody's Christmas, because they hate America and want wide-open borders.  In medieval Europe they knew how to deal with heresy, and it wasn't with obscene Twitter abuse.  That's why you don't hear much about Monophysitism anymore.  Well, that and it's damn confusing, not unlike the dual nature of reality today.

The official Republican posture du jour is that Ukraine used its vast resources to interfere in the 2016 election, including hacking HRC's infamous emails.  So when Trump said "Russia, if you're listening," he was just throwing everyone off the scent.  See?  It's easy if you just stop thinking, remembering and caring.
