Should be allowed to expired quietly after all. Trump is declining to attend on grounds that his prematurely thin skin makes the whole event a health risk for him, which is good grounds to rethink the whole enterprise. If done "Well" the event opens the press corps to charges of raw sycophancy and when it goes "badly" its a tremendous generator of needless Ill Will.
Either way its a weird clumsy attempt at bonhomie....and right now ersatz bonhomie is really the Last Thing in the World We Need.

Trump as CPAC last week
otherwise known as "Burning Man for Wingnuts", The So Called President laid out a bold pro-worker populist agenda last week. Granted its a room that'll sooner put the American Worker behind barbed wire, but all the same it was something new and different. The problem is, Trump's solution seems to revolve around radical deregulation in the workplace, so everyone's job will be more dangerous and wages will likely stagnate. How that grows the economy is anyone's guess...but then this is Trump ,"2+2=Rhode Island" in his mind.
If we wanna do right by American Working Class, how about starting with something simple? Like Raising the Minimum Wage? The Federal Minimum Wage is a paltry $7.25 a hour, if Trump really wants to "Take on the Establishment", he'll have a helluva fight with his own GOP is he wanted to put it up to say $10.00 an hour.
But thats pure fantasy, Trump doesn't want to raise the minimum wage he wants to make it harder for injured workers to sue their employers, he wants to abolish occupational safety statues....everyone is will work harder for less money and under dangerous circumstances THAT is supposed to save the American Working Class.

Thought for the Day...
Jobbers, the Dregs of Dixie, Book Worshippers, Sky Grifters, Floor Walkers as Policy Makers, Money Grubbing Corruptards that can hear a nickle drop a mile away, Utopian Onanists, A scattering of women that ought to know better, Yes Men and Yes Women, The In Over Their Heads, A Few Persons on Honor shoved into a corner....In Sum, Mitch McConnell's Senate.

MiloBrow
Limey Wingnut Freak-Provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos got dumped off of Breitbart for making wistful nostalgic comments about Man-Boy Love.
I would pay The Howard Stern Show's Resident Phone Prankster Richard Christy a Nice Chunk of Change if he'd call Yiannopoulos' agent and see what Milo's asking price is to act as Grand Marshal in NAMBLA's Annual Pride Parade. Tell him its going down in the KiddieLand Amusement Park in Ossipee NH....now that would be memorable audio yo!
Just remember, misogyny will be the last bitter prejudice to go when its time comes it'll go down guns blazing, believe me.

Good Luck to General McMaster
at the NSC....he is gonna need it and every ounce of props his long resume gives him. After all he has literally not one but three security risks in the room from the git-go, white power freaks Bannon & Miller and then there is the Very President that appointed them in the first place.
So yeah Good Luck General....yer gonna need it.
Personally I suspect yet another emerging faultline in the Trump Regime will be ongoing conflict between "The Loony-Tunes Sky Grifters" and the Numerous retired Generals that now dot the National Security Apparatus.
But I could be wrong....

Happy "So-Called President's Day"
(enacted because the US Congress never ever had the courage to make Abraham Lincoln's Birthday a National Holiday....shitkicker soreheads then as now)
Given the Pretty Pass We've Reached Here in the USA, there is nothing left to do but post a picture of the Late President Warren G. Harding modeling a Dress Fez.

Keep Smiling, Guffaw Freely
keep making jokes, act like the whole diresome mishaugas is the proverbial "laughing party". It may not alter our fate one whit, but making humor your response to book worshipping provocation or that fixed autistic stare favored by serious Objectivists or some giggly little fidget from the Kampus Konservative Bund...will always put you in charge of the situation even if for only a moment.
