The Morning Report 4/14/17

Good morning, kids. Well, as we close out another blessed week where Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States of America, the top story continues to be the situation with North Korea. The administration is calling bullshit on a report saying it will strike first while the Chi-Coms are actually saying war is inevitable. Let's hope somebody good, and I mean really good, tapes the gun to the back of that toilet tank. I don't want my president coming out with just an egg roll in his hand. Funny; now Lois Lerner is demanding her IRS records be sealed for all time. I'd grant her that demand, so long as she gets sealed up with them, evil momzer. Rush spent a considerable segment trying to make sense of the so-called "palace intrigue" in the West Wing and he has a pretty good take on it, IMHO. But PDT's conciliatory remarks about Janet Yellin, the Ex-Im Bank and the maneuvering to get Dems to the Obamacare repeal table are head-scratchers. If, as some say, he's just doing his Art of the Deal strategy by proposing the most outrageous position in order to get the other side to compromise to what you want in the first place, why not start out with the abolition of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security? Just a thought in case Jared or Ivanka are lurking. Other than that, for comic relief we have Maynard Krebs Ahmadinejad with hopes of being an Iranian Bernie Sanders while teen webzine Salon has a serious piece on why the Democrats will be unstoppable in 2020 with Maxine Waters at the top of the ticket. Anyway, when you stop laughing, links from around the world, across the nation and up your street. Have a better one and remain blessed.
