Trump is Trump - neither conservative or liberal

In the wake of the HS massacre in Parkland, FL President Trump is now taking on the NRA and wants to get both Dems and Republicans on board in a kind of omnibus gun reform bill. Things like expanded background checks, raising the age to buy a gun to 21 and other common proposals. No this is not an alternative reality Trump was simply never that conservative to begin with. It is said that Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein had a kind of stunned smile upon hearing this. Look Trump has a hemorrhoid of a personality but that has nothing to do with baseline politics. Wonder how Michelle Malkin is taking this.

  2. In the news: Trump and Kim Jong Un are scheduled to meet face to face. I'm thinking N Korea
    ran out of unranium and rocket fuel. No place has been scheduled for where the meeting will take
    place. Mara Lago? Rodman's house? The N Korean A-bomb plant? Jerusalem? Yonkers? All
    very sudden, no?

    1. What can go wrong? Yeah I was surprised after the flurry of insults they hurled at each other. Both have bad hair so something in common. Might be a ruse to get Trump in front of an anti-aircraft gun. Jimmy Carter probably would have loved this one. There's gotta be food testers galore to make sure none of the fare is tainted. Maybe a beer summit might be best.

  3. Can't keep up with the news cycle, it seems to be on fastforward. Are Hope Hicks and Stormy Daniels
    sisters?

  4. Paying a bill just now. I keep all my various folders in one of them big plastic containers. My medical folder is easily the fattest, ridiculously big yet I still have tinnitus, mixed quality sleep etc. Wondering if I got my money's worth.

    1. Makes ya wonder. If medical bills were based on the cure rate, would they be a lot less expensive?
      Need feline advice: we have a new feral in town a few blocks away. Shoud I put out some tuna flavored kitty nibbles ?

  5. Heard a rumor that Trump and Stormy are going to be on Judge Judy. Should be a good one.

    1. According to a report released by the Chinese astrophysicists associated with the program, the satellite
      will set down (or crash) in the parking lot at the Kam Fung resaurant, 112 Elm St, Yonkers, NY 10701.
      Thay haven't calculated the date yet, so you may want to stop by there in the next couple of days.

  7. My viewing of the evening network TV news is often interrupted by drug advertisements. The one for
    Prevagen, which improves memory, (I think, I don't remember well) claims it is based on a protein found in jelly fish. I discussed this with my wife and we agreed that jelly fish aren't very high on the intelligence scale. A bit of research reveals that the ingredient is the enzyme which when exposed to
    calcium makes the jelly fish glow...and that their ingredient is a synthetic copy of the glow stuff.
    Should I discuss this with my physician, or will she just laugh?

    1. I'd be careful. A trip to the bathroom at 3AM and it starts to glow.

  8. Is the Trump Era a Mandela Effect, or one of those Ancient Alien phenomenons?

  9. Z... your comment threads are always a joy to read and try to decipher. Random streams of consciousness. Politics, health, glowing members, almost anything is liable to pop up.

    Hey guys, so what happens to us desert rats when we wake up one day and Lake Mead is empty?

    1. Thank you for that. I will check that out. I hate that myself. What does it mean if you fail one of these tests?

  11. Never got around to signing up for FaceBook. Probably just as well....

    1. My settings seem ok so far as I can tell. I lead a fairly boring life to be honest so don't know how I'd jazz it up on Facebook. Probably why my blog is suffering. I'm behind the curve on everything. My smartphone screen is smaller than other people's and I have 3G not 4G LTE soon to be 5G. I don't need the latest device that comes out either. I can't keep up with the latest groups and don't follow American Idol on tv nowadays. I thought that thing was supposed to go off the air.

  12. Not all that boring. You have been featured in films, to wit:
    “YONKERS – While the city has been raking in millions of dollars from red-light violators, crashes and injuries have increased at some intersections monitored by the cameras, according to AAA.”
    ...although as uncredited actor with no royalies. We ponder that rear end crashes are up 83% at camera intersections, as also reported by the AAA.

    1. A mayoral candidate for Yonkers would do well on running solely on a platform of eliminating these dang things. Surprised it hasn't happened yet. I'd get my lazy duff off the couch and go vote.

  13. Un Jong has his Dennis Rodman, Trump has his Kanye West, Stormy's got a sharp lawyer and the Yonkers cameras keep clicking. What else is new?

    1. Cosby may spend the rest of his life in prison. The SCOTUS seems poised to uphold Trump's travel ban. French President Macron gave a speech before a joint session of Congress. Former Met Rusty Staub just passed and Barnes & Noble ain't doing that great. Time and temperature...

    2. Cosby, preeminant comedien and full time philanderer: reminds me of the time back in the military.
      The Catholic Chaplain, a tough paratrooper major, regalled the troops on 'sins of the flesh', thundering the last warning, “Is an hour of pleasure worth a lifetime of guilt and shame?” After a moment of stunned silence, some horny private way in the back shouted, “Hey Rev, how do you make it last an hour?”

  14. Peculiar, Kim Jong Un turning into Mr. Nice, given his track record of iron fisted dictator and all
    around bully. We ponder the sudden change-
    -did he finally run out of enriched Uranium and rocket fuel?
    -was he on the road to Damascus, fall off his donkey and see a bright light?
    -did Trump promise to introduce him to Stormy?
    -a brain tumor?
    -he was offered alsylum in Yonkers?
    -the Jehovah Witnesses got to him?
    -he wants the Nobel Peace Prize?
    -Rodman got him into the Chicago Bulls roster?
    -he got tired of Kellyanne Conway jabbering at him?
    ...dunno, Z-Man, the whole turn about mystifies me. You know the cause?
