I’m up in Washington, D.C., and taking tonight off from Civil Discourse for the White House Correspondents’ dinner. The mood in D.C. this weekend is grim but there is a lot of resolve, too. I miss years past when people felt optimistic about a fresh start in government, but the sense of determination is encouraging.
Here is something from 7 years ago that rings even truer today:
From Facebook: JUST THINK:
What does white male privilege look like in this country? Imagine this scenario: Hillary Clinton is president. It's learned that she has deep ties to Putin. She puts utterly unqualified billionaires in cabinet posts. She puts her daughter Chelsea in a position of influence in the West Wing. And Chelsea's husband is her chief advisor. She refuses to release any tax returns, she blocks access to the visitor logs in the White House and Bill refuses to live in the White House so our tax dollars are spent keeping him safe in Chappaqua. And Hillary spends almost every weekend lounging in a resort. AND, in an interview, she names the wrong country she bombed while bragging about the chocolate cake she was eating while she ordered said bombing. I could go on and on. The point is that the outrage, the outcries, the screaming by Republicans would be heard around the world and impeachment proceedings would already be underway.
By the way, this is not about political party affiliation at all. Let's face it, if Hillary--or any woman candidate--had five children from three husbands she would never have survived the primary.
Guess I’m the eternal optimist. With all the evidence out there, I can’t see how trump can win, unless the fake electors idea catches on. If it does, I’ll join The Sisters on the ledge.
Have loved your commentary on TV these past couple of weeks--a sane and knowledgeable voice. It is good to have a night off and just relax and laugh at the annual dinner.
My son was there tonight playing with the Marine band! Hope you had a wonderful time!
Have a splendid evening!
