Meat Trump


News reports are brimming with women boo-hooing over insults from D. Trump.

First, if you parade around in a bikini in a beauty contest, expect crude remarks. You're in a meat market, price tag across your forehead. Or, if you offer any kind of competition, expect crude remarks. The primary rule of competition: find a weakness and use it to destroy your enemy.

Second, Trump's "base" is composed of men who wish they could get away with the shit he pulls. Do you think that cracker who cold-cocked the black man at the Trump rally is appalled by Trump's treatment of women? Hell, no. He wants a piece of the action. Trump speaks to all males who ever struck out with a female.

Third, how does a man insulted about his physical appearance—for example, orange skin and "it's alive" hairdo—react? He doesn't pay a moment's attention.

Side note: I think it was Larry Wilmore who remarked about "future impeached President Trump" the other night.  Sweet.

Arboretum's baby bald eagles were officially named Freedom and Liberty, after the social media campaign.

It would have been nice to have the freedom and liberty to pick something memorable.

I'm glad the birds will never have to answer to names ... unless animals name themselves?
