7 April—What do Vladimir Putrid and Donald Trump have in common? Yes indeed, that most assuredly opens a cornucopia of offensive commonalities conspicuously shared by the world’s two most prominent scumbags. But I was thinking in particular of what both Trump and Putrid and their hordes of sycophants, toadies, supporters, and defenders call fake news, claiming it slanders the scumbags, while everybody knows that even though we can’t trust news mongers it’s absolutely true.

Did Putrid’s satraps appropriate the fake news defense from Trump or was there some collusion involved? Anybody’s guess. Not that Trump (and the scumbag Clintons before him) hadn’t appropriated Make America Great Again from Ronald Reagan.

In the interest of brevity—which, as faithful readers know, is a hallmark of my daily screeds—I shall limit my discussion of Putrid-Trump commonalities to only a pair. Better yet, I’ll limit it to Trump: Why are so many people, including some otherwise intelligent ones, taken in by that lifelong con-man’s bullshit and why are politicians afraid of him?

Wait a minute, the first question answers the second question. It’s simply a case of the gutless sucking up to the guileless for their own personal gain. But isn’t that what politics is all about?

In the interest of brevity, I’ll leave it at that.
