Time to Loosen the Tin Foil Hats
Time to Loosen the Tin Foil Hats

From our political correspondent, Dorothy “Lottie” Dawe:
Last week, we wrote about Week One of the new Trump regime -- HERE. It was quite a clusterTrump.
Now Week 2 has passed. ClusterTrump x 2 squared.
We have to admit that we just can't keep up with trying to cover and comment on all the mischief, damage, disruptions, trickeries, and madness of this administration. We are exhausted in trying to keep the pace. Here's just a little of what transpired: a Muslim ban, an assault on human rights, a coup at the NSC with the appointment of a white supremacist, total disregard of Jews in a statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Executive Orders that were unconstitutional, flat out lies, reliance on a voter-fraud "expert" who was registered to vote in three states, threats of war (even against Mexico), an incredible (and laughable) lack of knowledge about African-American history, telephone hang-ups, and fatigue -- proving that Trump just doesn't have the stamina to be President. Sad.
Our UN ambassador said that she was "taking names." In attempting to assure that Trump knows that Frederick Douglass is dead, the president's Press Secretary actually said the following:

Ivanka's tin foil hat reminded us of two other fashion fads associated with the madness that is the Trump administration. First, "orange is the new blech." Second, the Trump classification system of gold stars (pictured below). We have posted this picture before, but we thought we would post it again since all of this talk of Trump fashion reminded us of Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic poem "The morons are bolder than they were" (further below on the left) which references the wearing of gold stars. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "The morns are meeker than they were" (below on the right).

You can't make this stuff up. It truly writes itself. Fodder for every comedian. Sad.
