Today’s Good News And Bad News
From Our Local Political Junkie We’ll Call “Cincy Dave”
TRUMP ADMITS HE WAS WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING
Last night in North Carolina, Trump did something he has never done before. He actually admitted saying something that was wrong. Here’s what he said, “Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. And believe it or not, I regret it. And I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.” This is remarkable coming from a man that takes pride in never backing down and admitting to being wrong about anything, no matter how outrageous it seemed to be at the time. Is this what they call a “pivot”? We don’t know for sure, but we expect that it was just a one-time thing and he’ll be back in regular form today.
TRUMP FINALLY STARTS RUNNING ADS
His first TV ad buy ever is $3.5 million in 4 swing states, including, of course, Ohio. Cover the children’s ears and eyes and let the heavy-duty, major league mud-slinging begin!
BAD NEWS FOR CLINTON
Well, not Hillary – Bill. Today is the Big Dog’s 70th Birthday. That makes him almost as old as Trump, who was 70 a couple of months ago. Of course, Trump’s age is good news for Hillary because her opponent can’t attack her by saying that she is too old for the job, at the tender age of only 68 years and 10 months. Before Reagan came along, anyone even nearing 70 was considered too old for the job. Reagan was the oldest person ever to become president and was 2 weeks from his 70th birthday upon taking office. Having two terms, he was also, by far, the oldest person to occupy the office. Whoever is elected this time may need some nursing home equipment in the White House before their term runs out. What else might they need? – Depends.
WHAT HILLARY TOLD THE FBI
She told them that Colon Powell advised her to use private email. Was this a lie, an excuse or maybe even a plausible explanation of why she did something that turned out so badly? I guess we will find out more about it when the reporters start digging. The best way might be to ask Secy. Powell himself. He does seem to be one of the more honest people that have been in that job, as he was never a professional politician. Whatever the truth is, expect it to be spun many ways by the talking heads on all sides.
TRUMP LIED ABOUT GIFTS TO CHARITY
It’s a day ending in Y, so there’s another WP article about Trump’s repeated lying. This time it’s about gifts to charity. Just another reason that he won’t release his tax returns. The question in this election should be, “Will you vote against the candidate that lies most of the time or against the one that lies all the time?”
WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT WE MIGHT HAVE A RUSSIAN SPY IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Well, Senator Joseph McCarthy did, but that was back in the early 1950s. Right now, Trump, Manafort, and Flynn are all on the payroll of the Kremlin, one way or another. Trump claims he is friends with Vladimir Putin and owes tons of money to billionaire Russians involved in organized crime and tied to the Kremlin. Paul Manafort was in the employ of the pro-Russian former Ukrainian President and is (or was) Trump’s campaign manager. Michael Flynn is a consultant to Russia Today (RT) the cable TV channel that is owned by the Kremlin and he attended Wednesday’s security briefing with Trump. Where is Joe McCarthy when we need him? Richard Nixon is probably looking all over hell for him right now.
Just as we finished writing this, news came in that Manafort had “resigned.” “Booted to the curb” is probably more accurate. Well, that’s one less Russian spy in the campaign.
THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES
Some group of idiots who have too much time and money have started to put up naked statues of DJT in various cities. It would be fun if they put one on Fountain Square, but don’t count on it. It will probably be a long time before they get down to third-rate cities like the Queen City. The group calls their project, “The Emperor Has No Balls.”
Don’t wait for the corresponding statues of Hillary. Artists were too grossed out after this to even try creating a naked Hillary statue.
TODAY’S MEANINGLESS POLLS
The Trump Campaign has been forced to open a field office in Georgia. Times are hard when the party of Jeff Davis has to campaign in Georgia.
