Tuesday Tidbits: Are you afraid of the clowns?
Circuses have changed a lot over the years. With more regulations now when it comes to animal safety there are no bears on bikes, lion tamers, and elephant tricks. But there are still clowns. Lots of clowns.
The only thing worse than having sit through a clown show is having to sit through a clown show you don’t want to sit through.
I don’t want to write about American politics as much as I do, but sometimes a certain orange-faced clown makes it too easy, as does his entourage of unqualified cabinet members.
Blatant misuse of power which circumvents the congressional process, putting personal profit ahead of helping the average American, and retaliation against people how have criticized him of his policies are some of what we have witnessed over the last seven months.
Oh, the lies. Don’t forget the lies.
I’ve been to Chicago. Didn’t see the killing fields that Trump described. He said since the National Guard arrived in Washington, there has been no crime, but we all know that that is impossible. I also know that the US does not subsidize Canada. His polling indicates a low approval rating, but he picked the most favourable one to tout. Gas is not below $2, and prices are not dropping.
I’m going to take a break from reporting on the circus for a while…
I hope. No guarantees, though.
