Tuesday Morning

I'm following my own advice and not paying a lot of attention to Donald Trump at the moment. I don't know how much longer he'll be in office — somewhere between 48 hours and Forever, I imagine — but I'm pretty sure that for the balance of his occupancy, they'll be a possibly-significant announcement every three hours we're all awake. At 10 AM, a court will find against him. At 1 PM, he'll proclaim his defiance of it. At 4 PM, there'll be some new revelation of financial impropriety. At 7 that night, Bill Barr will clear him…

I never cared much for watching tennis matches or badminton competitions or Ping-Pong and I can't really follow this, either.

The other day, he came out firmly against requiring employers to use E-Verify to make sure whoever they hire is not in this country illegally. So I guess his position is that we don't want those undocumented immigrants here but we sure don't want to stop any business from being able to use them as cheap labor.

It's kinda like how he doesn't want to go to war with Iran but he still has great faith in his national security advisor, John Bolton, who really wants us to go to Iran…and just about every other country larger than Luxembourg.

This concludes my thinking about Donald Trump for today. The announcement of this year's recipients of the Bill Finger Awards should be out shortly. You still have time to get a bet down.
