O Me, O My

I have to admit that I watched the Presidential Press Conference yesterday in its entirety - sometimes with my mouth gaping in amazement, and sometimes with a hand clapped over my mouth to stop hysterical laughter.  It was a huge circus act, with the circus peanut in chief behind the podium.  The man is insane.  I think, that in his own mind, he is a Crusader knight attired in shining armor.  He can not, or will not, accept facts. And he is out to "save" his United States of America by becoming a dictator and acting more atrociously than Hitler, Mussolini, and Lenin all rolled into one psyche.
    Michael Flynn, his National Security Adviser, is forced to resign because the CIA and FBI and NSA have recordings of him violating federal law by speaking about federal sanctions placed against Russia while the Obama Administration was still in office.  In fact, he was talking about easing those sanctions on the same day that they were announced to the world.  That is incredibly brainless.
    Pudzer, the choice for the Secretary of Labor, is, and was, well-known for not following federal laws regarding minimum wages and breaks for employees, for having numerous food-handling violations in the majority of his restaurants, and for having an "undocumented" housekeeper, who was paid under the table, thereby evading taxes.  Pudzer withdrew his own name for consideration, when it became apparent that he was not going to be voted in.
    At the beginning of the 77 minute free-for-all, cheeto-cheeks declared his new nominee for the Secretary of Labor post - Andrew Acosta.  In 2008, while working for the Department of Justice in the Civil Rights Bureau, Acosta was placed in charge of hiring new law personnel.  He passed the responsibility down to someone else, who also passed it down to another man.  This man hired only "right-thinking" lawyers, and was known for making pointed anti- African-American comments.  Acosta had to leave the DOJ under a cloud....
    When Peter Alexander stood up to 45, informed him that what he was saying was incorrect, and gave the figures to prove it, he was cut off by the man behind the podium, who declared, that, "...I was shown the numbers..."  So this comb-over bonehead believes everything that is placed in front of his nose?  The numbers and historical facts do not lie.
     The great orange monstrosity chose Jake Turx for a question, and the Jewish reporter asked about the up-turn in bomb threats against Jewish synagogues and schools.   Forty-five began saying that he wasn't anti-Semitic and that all the problems came "from the other side."  When the reporter tried to rephrase the question,the man at the podium told him to sit down and be quiet....
    April Ryan was acknowledged, and asked about meeting with the CBC - the Congressional Black Caucus (which first sat down with President Nixon).  The idiot at the microphone said, "You know them? Set up a meeting for me..."   The CBC had sent 45 a letter requesting a meeting the day before his Inauguration, but has yet to receive an answer.
   I think the funniest comment that was made was: "This administration is running like a fin-tuned machine."
  And, then, yesterday evening, 45 apparently offered the National Security Adviser position to retired Rear Admiral Robert Harward, and ex Navy SEAL.  According to news sources today, Harward refused the offer because he had watched yesterday's 77 minute long news conference.....
   Oh, me; oh, my.....
