[MLA] ***SPAM*** Re: the bully

[Thomas Lund]

Hi Bob,

Sadly appropriate lyrics. But this one from The Guardian today is hilarious:

David Cameron <https://www.theguardian.com/politics/davidcameron> has joked that a major advantage of being an ex-prime minister is that he is no longer required to listen to Donald Trump’s wiretapped conversations – adding swiftly, perhaps for the benefit of the Twitter-happy president: “Just to be clear, that’s a joke.”

cheers,
Thomas

>>> As long as we're on the Trump rant: The republicans want to get him off tweeting. I say, "keep tweeting, Donald" because it seals his fate and reveals his incompetence and bullying. The problem of course is the Rebublicans feel he's their means to get all their agenda passed, so they don't want to rock the boat. But I hope enough sensible moderate Republicans will pull the stop before the shit really hits the fan. We shall see. It's only 3 months into it and it's the rockiest road I've ever ridden since 1973 when I sent a telegram to my senators to impeach Richard Nixon.

>>> I'm also pissed as hell about a budget that cuts the National Endowment for the arts, public radio and TV....  go on and on, drops in the bucket in comparison to other expenses. Cutting all the little stuff in place of a military budget that's going to be 10 times, 100 times bigger for military. Isn't this the beginning of the end of Rome? Isn't this how Rome fell?
