Dog Days…

Like I said, six weeks of nightmarish – but very real – news. How about a quick recap?

Let’s start with the now ex-dean of the USC medical school, a Dr. Carmen Puliafito, who allegedly has a substance abuse problem. Oh, right, almost forgot to mention this addict was still representing the university up until a week ago, despite concerns about his behavior dating back over a year! “Hey, maybe if we just ignore the situation, it’ll all go away…” Can’t wait to see the university administrator’s attempts at ‘…duck and cover…’ on this one!

Next on the list – ex-CEO of UBER Travis Kalanick, finally – and I do mean finally – forced out in June. IMHO, this a**hole needs to simply fade away into the darkness, and, if we’re lucky, the deplorable company he co-founded will fade away too…

Remember folks, #deleteUBER!

Sorry, but the rest is all about the ridiculous dumpster fire raging in Washington…

In early July, Teflon Donny™ spent some quality time with Vladimir Putin while at the G20 Summit in Hamburg. Disturbingly, not every meeting was publicly-disclosed until well after the summit took place. “Hey Vlad, ole’ buddy, ole’ pal, uh, how ’bout keepin’ those obligations between me and your associates under wraps, huh?”

Pardon me, but could you repeat that Teflon Donny™? Nope, didn’t think so… Dope.

Then we have the ‘beleaguered’ Jeff Sessions committed to soldiering on. Yeah, right, let’s see how long that lasts…

Jared Kushner is now embroiled in the ever-expanding investigation into Russian meddling/interference in the 2016 election(s) here in the United States. Earlier today, he tossed Dippy Donny Jr.™ under the bus, while at the same time professing to be nothing more than an incompetent, er, uh, ah, I meant innocent neophyte during those oh-so-tumultuous early days of the campaign. Wow, with in-laws like that, who needs enemies?

Meanwhile, Dippy Donny Jr.™ was “…lovin’ it…” in the days leading up to a previously-undisclosed meeting with yet more Russians, despite his professed disappointment with said meeting afterwards. Does this dishonest fool really think we’re going to buy the ever-changing rationale for this clandestine meeting?

Uh, that would be no.

Doesn’t The Mooch, a.k.a. Anthony Scaramucci, look like someone straight out of central casting? No communications experience. No political experience. What a pr*ck. Nice hair Tony…

Yes, it’s time to say so long and farewell to “Spicey”, undaunted purveyor of untruths.

Yup, after six months and one day, Sean Spicer, decided he’d had enough. Enough of what exactly? What was the proverbial ‘straw’? The Mooch? C’mon. Heck, I would’ve thought the whole “…mine is bigger than yours…” episode on day one would’ve sent him packing!

Lastly, the failed attempt by the House of Representatives to get the toxic American Health Care Act turned into law, followed by the failed attempt by the Senate to get the equally-toxic Better Care Reconciliation Act pushed through to a vote.

While we should applaud these two failed attempts at repealing/replacing the ACA, I would strongly suggest everyone carefully read the Congressional Budget Office assessment of both bills – cruel & unusual. :-(
