Pretty Is As Pretty Does. And This Bunch Is Pretty Bad.

Well, I like my headline but not as much as I like Maureen Dowd's brilliant takedown of the gang that can't shoot straight; can't think thoughtfully; can't speak seriously; can't keep from fawning over The Fool; can't face the truth just as Jack Nicholson notoriously told Tom Cruise in a movie Dowd devilishly recounts.

You can’t handle the … in the movie A Few Good Men.

In watching and listening to any or all of the six cabinet meetings toyed around with by Toothless Tiger Trump, one comes to the conclusion these cabinet secretaries – with one or two notable exceptions – must be the great-great-great grandchildren of founders of America's shortest-lived political party, that being, of course, The Know Nothing Party which loosely and lousily existed briefly before The Civil War.

He slapped 30% new tariffs on two of our closest allies this morning – Canada and Mexico – not to mention others will rise early August.
