Well, there's no blue turban, if you take any stock in Nostradamus.

The way things have been going for me (being further led by the nose by doubting just about everything I see and hear), I wouldn't be the least surprised to see an ad on Facebook showing a news-link to a picture of The Don in a blue turban. My thread in the "kiddy pool" (as I heard someone named after an angel refer to it) had 1,666 views for a few hours, and I about freaked. But Spinoza clicked it, making me the neighbor of the beast. (That was a joke! Sort of...)

Nothing surprising at all in Charlie being in the Right ballpark. He's outstanding in his field (more puns for ya, Charlie!).

Sorry, Charlie.

**okay that's more puns.

I'll PM one or two of you with something personal. I might have to go to work, so it could be in a few hours.

I don't believe in the devil (so I guess I don't CAP it). I believe in ignorance, willful or otherwise, but I don't believe in the devil.

You may not believe in God, James, but everybody should believe in the Devil.

Trump presides over Red Cross Ball at Mar-a-Lago

The event “From Vienna to Versailles,” took place Saturday night at the Mar-a-Lago Club, which was done up in Old World 18th-century style, right down to the service staff in powdered wigs and satin knee breeches or Marie Antoinette dresses.

“Yes,” said one server, when asked if the wig was hot. “And it weighs four pounds.”

The night began with the diplomatic receiving line and cocktails around the balustraded pool, a fireworks display over the Intracoastal which gave the smattering of protesters the best views, and classical music by Hapzburg-costumed musicians.

After cocktails, the crowd moved to the Grand Ballroom — conceived and constructed to look like Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors, making it the perfect foil for the gold-rimmed china and snow-white table linens and mounds of all-white flowers — for the presentation of the colors by the Marines from the local ANGLICO unit, and the diplomatic procession which ended with the introduction of the President and First Lady.

Julie -- Let's hope for Humpty Trumpty.

Here's a good look at the world as it sees Trump and by extension (gulp) us?

Believe in the Devil. His name is Bannon and his avatar is the Honey Badger, which eats constantly, through everything, and doesn't give a shit. His right hand is Lenin and, like him, he avows total destruction of the establishment. That worries me.

For openers, see last week's Time with his evil mug on the cover.

Every day the Trumpkins find a dozen new ways to be vile. Just saw this on Twitter. Scroll down to watch a CNN interview with Kellyanne Conway in which she lies about Trump's turning a blind eye to the attack against Muslims in Quebec. (It's at about 4:50 on pt. 1 of the interview.)

Bannon ain't the devil.

Keep your eyes on the man in the expensive suits, though.

(Just kidding, kind of...)

On a positive or at least an active note, I find this website (operated by a retired librarian) helpful for ideas on what to do about this fu#@]ing mess.

ALL American Presidents wear/wore expensive suits. Not Abe Lincoln maybe. Obama wears VERY expensive suits.

Donald Trump is your President. He will be for the next five years. Don't make yourselves miserable. You survived Dubbya didn't you? Millions of predominantly Muslims didn't, though. How many muslims has Trump killed?

Why do you let a really wicked man (I mean Tony Blair) escape with his millions, money made predominantly by siding with rich muslims against poor muslims. Dubbya is stupid. Blair is wicked. Trump is unsavoury.
