I have often gritted my teeth and made snarling sounds when someone referred to my social security as an  “entitlement.”  It makes me want to tie their tail in a knot and toss their goofy butt over the fence.

I worked for my social security.  I paid for it.  I am also entitled to drive my car because I damn well paid for it, too.

Let me show you entitlement:

Come to find out, the United States passed an anti-nepotism law in 1967.  There are a series of memos from the Department of Justice saying that family members of presidents cannot work for the government, even in an unpaid position.

The Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama White House all received the memos when they tried to hire family members, even in unpaid positions.  They followed the good advice they got.

Then comes Trump.  If you can’t change the law, change the damn lawyers.

The opinion longtime Justice Department attorney Daniel Koffsky issued in January at the request of the incoming Trump administration concluded that another law passed in 1978 and conferring broad authority on the president to appoint White House officials essentially overrides the earlier anti-nepotism measure.

“We believe that the President’s special hiring authority [in the 1978 law] permits him to make appointments to the White House Office that the anti-nepotism statute might otherwise forbid,” Koffsky wrote in the opinion sent to White House Counsel Donald McGahn at his request.

So there are new rules for Trump. Thank you, Don McGahn. That right there – that’s entitlement!

First, I need to tell you that Don McGahn is the most soul sucking lawyer on the planet.  He is Dr. Julius No with a Black Law Dictionary.  He comes to government from the law firm of Jones Day.

As little Bubba once said, “Jones Day helped themselves and their banker friends feast on the corpse of the once great city of Detroit.”

A friend of mine was courted strongly by Jones Day when she graduated law school.  She sent them this letter.  You will love it, especially lawyers, who will get the few inside jokes.

Getting rid of Trump is not enough. The swamp is now a cesspool.
