Remember when Trump said there were no injuries when Iran attacked a US base in Iraq?

That’s the truth, well, except for 34 of them who have been diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury.

But this is a new form of TBI that isn’t actually physical and certainly isn’t serious, said Dr. Trump

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, President Donald Trump on Wednesday downplayed the injuries as “headaches.”

“I heard that they had headaches, and a couple of other things,” he said during a press conference. “But I would say, and I can report, that it is not very serious.”

According to the DOD, brain injury was “about 22% of all combat casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan.”

So, ya know, it can kill you, but hey, walk it off.  After all, what’s important?  Your brain or Trump’s perfect war?

Tell me again how much he loves the troops.

Okay, get a load of this.

Susan Collins sent a handwritten note to Chief Justice Roberts at the end of Jerry Nadler’s speech on Tuesday night.  Minutes later, Roberts chastised both sides.

Now, imagine for a moment that a Democrat sent a secret handwritten message to the Chief Justice.  Sean Hannity would bust a vein in his neck and Moscow Mitch would start babbling hate speech in Russian.

Collins was reluctant to acknowledge any contribution to the remarkable rebuke of the parties arguing the impeachment trial. When she came off the floor about 2 a.m. ET Wednesday, a reporter told her that she was seen handing a note up to the dais, to the parliamentarian, she replied coyly: “Who me? I did that?”

She said that? She did? And she expects me not to be outraged by it?

By the way, I am delighted that Adam Schiff’s remarkable speech last night was aimed at the American people and not the Republican senators because (1) the American people understood it and (2) Collins ain’t gonna do crap and I seriously doubt that Romney will either.

Okay, y’all, Ted Cruz, that master of communication and Harvard debater, is talking about something usually left in locker rooms.  And you’d think that Sean Hannity would know that.  Not that Cruz or Hannity have ever been in a locker room, but …

No, guys, it’s pound the facts, not bang the facts. Bang means something else entirely.  You know, like mattress wrestling or getting frisky.  It means that.

However, it’ll be lots of fun to see a bunch of old white guys talk about banging facts and law.  In truth, it’s probably a confession because that’s exactly what they they are doing.

I can’t believe he said that.  He’s a lawyer, for goodness sake.

Trump’s accomplishments in Davos:

1. Announced “reforms” (translation: cuts) to Social Security and Medicare will come early in his next term.
2. Announced further unwinding of EPA clean water rules to allow more free fouling of our waterways, returning to the bad old days.
3. Complained that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have not been awarded the Pulitzer prize.  Yes, you read that correctly.
4. Downplayed brain injuries to US servicemen who were in bunkers on the base attacked by Iranian missiles.
5. Called his Senate trial on impeachment a hoax (for the thousandth time).

Here endeth the lesson.

In Davos yesterday, Trump bragged to the press on global television that he has withheld documents from Congress, saying, “…we have all the material; they don’t have the material.”  Knowing that the fix is in, he is blatantly boasting about getting away with impeachable behavior, and he’s doing it in front of the entire world.

Tarrant County (think Fort Worth) Republicans decided it would be a fun thing to march in the MLK parade. So, they all got together, somebody picked up the sign, most of them found something red to wear, and off they went to … be real cute and flash the OK sign for a group picture. On MLK day. On film. On Facebook. In the newspaper.

The GOP group apologized and acknowledged it was an inappropriate gesture for the setting.

“For the setting?”  But, yeah, it’s real okay any other time.

Okay, here’s the Republican rules: the white power sign must be holstered on MLK Day.
