It's come to light that recently top Trump officials, when discussing details of imminent plans to attack Houthi rebels in Yemen, included a journalist in their Signal group chat.

The Challenge

 

Trying to Figure It Out

Five Republican state senators in Minnesota sponsored a bill earlier this week labeling Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness. Hours later, one of the five was arrested for soliciting a minor.

Sen. Justin Eichorn, a 40-year-old married man with four children, thought he was meeting a 17-year-old girl for paid sex, but it was the cops who awaited him.

Help me here. I'm really trying to understand.

Do you think Eichorn's snarky attempt to own the libs gave him a hard-on that wouldn't quit? Did it make him feel invincible? Superior? Above the law? Like a frat boy again?

Or does he know he has issues and he backed the bill so he could deflect by accusing others of having issues? 

Or is he just another hypocrite in the long line of family-values types who have the moral fiber of a jelly bean?

Just Maybe

Over the weekend, a friend of mine here in Seattle returned home to a small city in Missouri for a family event.

She texted upon arrival, apoplectic that there was a "Trump Store" in town.

If she were staying longer, I'd mail her a care package of sage smudge sticks, The Nation, and Trump toilet paper.
