President Trump fails us
President Trump has failed us in many ways. A few days ago I talked about his months of magical thinking on the CODID-19. He has failed here in many ways and that has resulted in a great loss of life and massive economic problems. Previous Presidents have deal with potential epidemics and succeeded in averting…

Months of Magical Thinking
After President Trump’s months of magical thinking on the COVID-19 crisis he appeared to be taking this pandemic seriously. However that did not last long and we are back to the magical thinking response. In addition, of course, there are efforts to revise the history of his failures.

Inspector General Michael Atkinson and President Trump’s threefer
A few days ago President Trump fired the intelligence community’s Inspector General (IG) Michael Atkinson who alerted Congress a whistle-blower complainant regarding Trump’s phone call with Ukraine’s president that led to his impeachment. He was following the law that required this action.

Fair is Fair
In a recent post reviewing Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump by Neal Katyal both the reviewer and the reviewed take the centrist position that Fair is Fair. Mr. Katyal call this the “Yardsick rule” and I think is it is a part of what the Constitution calls equal treatment under the law. The Legal Information Institute…

President Trump Unenvironmentalist
President Trump Unenvironmentalist-in-Chief. I had previously written about his many “in-chief” titles. For example he is Commander-in-Chief, liar-in-chief, Commander in Cheat, and Weatherman-in-chief. Now we can add Unenvironmentalist-in-Chief to the list.
