This letter to the Holburn Group from the Mayor of Vancouver asking for the removal of the Trump name is always a delight to read.

The Mueller probe may not succeed in landing any of the Trump family in the pokey, but if it succeeds in impoverishing them, Iā€™d be reasonably satisfied. Expose the underlying rot of the Trump Organization, unwind the funding for all Trump and Kushner ventures, and let the Chapter 7 liquidations commence.

Omarosa + Ivanka divided by KAC multiplied by Hope Hicks = Trouble, big, big trouble.

As Javanka burns Steve Bannon is the happiest man in D.C. You know this just makes Bannonā€™s year. With all the shit he took (deservedly) watching his arch enemies crash and burn is better than a 50 year old Scotch.

If they donā€™t already, Fat Nixonā€™s spawn will rue the day daddy got into politics.

Their grift was running so well. All of that money laundering, all of those shell companies, all of that tax evasion, all of that living large while owing billions, all of that ability to strong-arm contractors and detractors - all gone.

Even if none of them goes to prison - a potential outcome I must face - I hope they come out of the other end broke, disgraced, humiliated and shunned for life by people with ethics. You know, the real quality people.

(Ahem) Almost. Throw in the Dotard in Chief, and Iā€™ll concede.

Watching Amy Klobuchar on Matthews right nowā€¦she reminds me of Mary Kay Placeā€™s character in The Big Chill. Is it just me?

Sorryā€¦but Ivanka is boring.

When I read the headline, I was sure it was going to be about Azerbaijan. But no, ho hum, just another scandal.

Canā€™t anyone here play this game? I mean, they make getting a security clearance look more challenging than passing the Bar, CPA exam, and Medical boards on the same day. Something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.

And then there were none. Not the Agatha Christie novel, but Trumpā€™s White House.

Vancouverā€™s real estate market has gone insane with wealthy Chinese snapping up every available unit in case they need a bolthole or a place to give to their children. Nice, mildly upper-end suburban houses are going for over CDN$4 million.

Yeah, I can see it. Iā€™ve always liked Mary Kay Place - such a versatile actor. She seems to pop up in everything!

Looks to me like Mueller is isolating trump. I donā€™t know why McMaster is leaving other than heā€™s over it, but damn, that makes me think the real shit is going to hit the fan by the end of the month.

Iā€™m rewatching ā€œBig Love,ā€ which is every bit as great as it was ten years ago. Mary Kay is Roman Grantā€™s first wife. Sheā€™s wonderful. I remember her on Mary Hartman! Showing my age ā€¦

OMG, Mary Hartman! I remember that show!

I seem to remember that a frequent theme that recurred in Trumpā€™s stump speeches - based on the sketchy far right ā€˜Clinton Cashā€™ story line - was that HRC would use the WH as a revolving door for donations for the Clinton Foundation which according meant $ for the Clintons. In the sketchy conspiracy theory the money would flow to Clinton family members through their salaries - an exponentially smaller amount of alleged enrichment than the actual money flow coming directly into Trump and Kushner family businesses. But this isnā€™t a fringe political movie turned into a campaign claim. This is the real deal of money changing hands by exploiting the office of the Presidency.

Regarding your Trump comment, I became worried on my dog walk that we might be confronted with President Pence sooner rather than later.
