This morning, Trump tweeted:
Breaking: Michigan sends absentee ballots to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!..” read Trump’s original tweet.
Here’s the twist. And, rogue? Really.
Yeah, Trump corrected his original tweet and never apologized. Fake tweet.
Well, now we know there was more than we suspected that nasty ole Steve Linick, the inspector general, was messin’ his nose around that caused him to get fired.
First, “The now-fired State Department inspector general had recently wrapped up an investigation into two other top aides to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, determining that they had likely failed to report allegations of workplace violence.”
Yeah, workplace violence. Let’s keep that quiet.
Now add to that, the Madison Dinners using taxpayers money to promote a political career for Pompeo, using his government paid staff to run personal errands, and by the way, an $8 billion arms sale to the Saudis. You know, not that we’re counting or anything.
Last night, Ole Bubba was shaking his head and said, “Those sumbitches think they can get around everything and the damnedest part of that is that they can.”
I kinda feel the same way sometime.
Annie Glenn, wife of astronaut and senator, John Glenn, died today at age 100. Besides being the wife of an astronaut and senator, she also overcame a debilitating stutter and became a national advocate for the disabled. She lived a long, full life. What took her from us? Coronavirus.
Fuck you, Donald Trump. One more needless death of a great American by your gross negligence.
Ford Motor says that Trump has to wear a mask when he comes for a photo-op in Michigan this Thursday. The spokeswoman for Ford said ….
“Our policy is that everyone wears PPE to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” McCleery said. “We shared all of Ford’s safety protocols, including our manufacturing playbook, employee pamphlet and self-assessment survey with the White House ahead of time and in preparation for this trip.”
Oh dear! Non-smearing make-up suggestions, anyone?
I think what he was counting on is that his least favorite governor – Gretchen Whitmer – ordered a ban on non-essential factory tours. That would include Ford. Trump would love to be banned. She didn’t take the bait.
You can place your bet on Trump canceling the tour at Window 3.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
And the only Governor respectful of Trump by letting him win is … ta da! Brian Kemp of Georgia. And they tied, so even that doesn’t really count.
And don’t get too cocky, Greg Abbott. You are #46.
