PATSY!!!
All I can think of when I listen to Republicans, or read newspaper reports about Trump’s newest scam flowing dollars into his pocket, or into the pockets of people he believes will help funnel even more money into his pocket, is the word “patsy.” That is what many Republican MAGAs have become. Trump began his…

TAPA # 199 REPUBLICAN COMPLICITY
Over the weekend I listened to a podcast, read about the Louisiana primary where Senator Cassidy was defeated by a Trump supported rival, and reflected on the Indiana primary where Republicans who dared oppose Trump suffered a similar fate. Then I read the Sunday article, “Lamar Alexander Wants Republicans to Stand Up to Trump.” Alexander,…

TAPA # 198 THE YELTSIN TRAIL
Viewing Trump walking around China was reminiscent of the first Russian president after Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin. Not only does Trump physically resemble Yeltsin in his later years, when Yeltsin increasingly appeared as a diminished, almost cartoonish caricature of a leader steering his country into a democratic ditch, but Trump has displayed many of the same traits,…

TAPA # 197 ONLY THE FACTS MAM
As Trump diverts from Epstein, the economy and national security, he heads to China for a meeting with President Xi. Trump is weakened and clearly inept. The fear is Trump will make some deal to rehabilitate his image and add to his family fortune with a deal that puts the American people in the woodchipper.…

TAPA # 196 Donny’s Ship of State
Trump, when an ABC correspondent asked why you were spending time on the Reflecting Pool, your answer was revealing. It reflected your disconnection from reality, your thin skin, your narcissistic belief that everything belongs to you because you are president, and most of all, your incompetence. Just as you spent millions on gold leaf and…

LOOK, LEARN & VOTE
Things are getting worse, as Trump does to America what he did to his casinos, airline, and the long list of failed ventures that followed. He is spending our money on policies and monuments for himself (ballroom, arch, renovating reflecting pool…) that weaken the country while driving us deeper into debt. And as always, Trump…

TAPA # 194 CHOICES!!!
Watching the Secretary of Defense’s recent testimony before Congress raises a fundamental question: what are the priorities of this administration and Republicans and who benefits from them? Priorities are choices. Nations, like individuals, choose what to value: to feed or to starve, to fight or to negotiate, to build or to destroy, to heal or…

TAPA # 193 WHO’D A THOUGHT???
TAPA (The American Poseidon Adventure) #192 was titled “Stupidity on Display.” But after listening to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch report on the Comey indictment, even that feels like an understatement. This latest episode doesn’t just match #192—it surpasses it. The predicate for the indictment is, frankly, preposterous. A photograph of seashells arranged on a…

TAPA # 191 STUPIDITY ON DISPLAY
If you want the best coverage of the shooting at the press dinner and the aftermath watch THE DAILY SHOW with John Stewart. It displays the feebleness of the press and the vile stupidity of the Trump administration. ‘Real Life’ has a way of stripping away the patina of competence. You must laugh as the…
