Have a Nice Half Life!

Say "Hi!" to a Plutonium Pellet.
You've probably heard the term "half life" before. It usually is attached to radioactive materials to tell you how long is takes to decrease it's radioactive emission to half of the starting value. It actually applies to anything that is decreased by half.

Radioactive Plutonium-244 has a half life of 80.8 million years. Uranium-238 has a half life of 4.8 billion years.

A Trump news story on the New York Times or Washington Post has a half life of maybe an hour theses days.

They're not leaks. They're a flood.

And that picture of the plutonium pellet? I've seen that same color of glowing orange a lot in the last year.

We should probably just start referring to Trump as President Plutonium. Radioactive. Everything he touches suddenly turns lethal on him. Flynn, Comey, Spicer, Bannon, Priebus, not to mention Coast Guard cadets at graduation. No place is safe from him.

Wants to Take Over the Tonight Show
The Russians, America's match as a plutonium fueled nuclear power, clearly know how to handle him. Lot's of smiles, a hearty handshake or two. Quickly placed micro tape recorders on the back of his suit, to be picked up later by Comrade Kellyannski.

The world goes agog when President Plutonium spills Israeli secret intelligence to Lavrov & Kislyak in the Oval Office. Everyone is in a panic: "What did he say???"

Then Putin says, "We'll be happy to provide you a transcript." That Vladimir, what a nice, helpful guy.

So Robert Mueller is taking over the investigation. We  know that he will find rampant incompetence because it's so obvious. Anything that will stick? Probably, but we should not let our expectations get too far out in front. If incompetence alone was a crime, Paul Ryan would be in stripes already.

No, the easy targets remain Flynn and Manafort. They've already admitted to not telling about taking money from foreign governments. What they will want is immunity. And that's only possible if they rat out President Plutonium himself.



And late breaking... Senator Lindsey Graham says that the DOJ is conducting a CRIMINAL investigation. Not to be topped, President Plutonium also today reiterated his threat to pull out of NATO.

You Have to Hand it to Putin.

Vladimir Putin is having a hall of fame year. No one else was able to take a bunch of Red Bull fueled hackers and nudge the world into panic. The French shut him down there last Sunday, but the dividends he's receiving from the United States will fill his coffers for decades to come. Putin not only controls Russia, and keeps the former Soviet client states on a short leash, he now effectively controls Syria with the bonus that no one else in their right mind wants to have anything to do there. The US is now in full crisis mode after the Comey firing.  You can be sure that Comey will be back testifying before Congress. The message today from the Republicans is "Hey, it's no big deal. Nobody liked Comey. You should thank us. It's all about the election. Just because you won doesn't change the fact you lost." I can see in my mind Vlad having a cigar and a good laugh with his senior minions. All this turmoil and it cost them less than a single new tank...

Quite a Day...

Jefferson Beauregard  Sessions  III Trump wants Sessions out so he can get someone to fire Mueller, but is too cowardly to fire either of them himself. Or, maybe, he's just waiting for the August recess to actually begin to make a recess appointment. Whether he can make that appointment or not, is up to Mitch McConnell. The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session. ARTICLE II, SECTION 2, CLAUSE 3 The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly. But the Republicans used a maneuver to prevent that from happening when Obama was in the White House: They just don't go into "recess". This went all the way to the Supreme Court which ruled that as long as the Senate was holding pro-forma sessions, they weren't in recess. The Senate did this by having the presiding Senator gavel the Senate into session every three days. The Supreme ...

The Economic Powerhouse of the World

Things change fast these days. Remember how the US led the world out of World War II? The Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe, and Asia. The United States became fabulously wealthy and citizens benefitted across the board. But that is the old news. The world will soon belong to China. While lil' President Donnie fires, fumes and flummoxes everyone within range, the Chinese are stepping into the vacuum Trump has created. US Firms Want In on China's Global "One Belt, One Road" Spending  is what it says in the New York Times. China is funding massive infrastructure partnerships all across the globe, using Chinese capital and Chinese firms to do the work. The United States was primed to do the same kind of thing, only it was targeted to increase US markets and US firms, not the Chinese. It was called "The Trans Pacific Partnership". It put the US out in front, and promised new markets and favored US trade over the Chinese. It also promoted wages and safety ...
