The other day, I was looking on the website of an indy bookstore – in a certain disgusting rat and rodent-infested city in which no human being would want to live, apparently—and noticed they had a list of their bestsellers posted. Number one was the Mueller report. I notice it’s pretty high on Amazon’s list, too, which suggests it’s not just a local thing. And, in case you were wondering, this was before the aforementioned rodent comments. Baltimore is a city where people express their civic pride by putting bumper stickers on their cars with the letters BALT affectionately enclosed within the silhouette of a rat, and so Mr. Trump is definitely kicking a hornet’s nest here. And kicking it, and kicking it….
But yeah, we’re in an interesting position here – so near D.C. that I doubt anybody is more than a couple degrees of connection away from one of the participants in the latest drama while, at the same time, we don’t have a first-hand view of the forces that brought Trump into office. But it sounds as if it may not be so different in other places.
