Classy??? . . .

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/how-to-be-classy/

. . . I don't think so. . .

(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-praises-pompeo-for-fight-with-npr-reporter-you-did-a-good-job-on-her/2020/01/28/34d314f6-41fb-11ea-b5fc-eefa848cde99_story.html)

". . . “Very impressive, Mike,” Trump said, jovially. “That reporter couldn’t have done too good a job on you yesterday. I think you did a good job on her, actually.” . . . Trump was referencing a confrontation Pompeo had with NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly after an interview in which she asked him why he did not do more to defend Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, amid a smear campaign that resulted in her losing her posting. . . Pompeo cut off their interview and then proceeded to curse and yell at Kelly for asking about Ukraine, the reporter later said. She said he used profanity when he asked her angrily, “Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?” He then asked her to find Ukraine on a blank world map, which she says she did. . .Pompeo did not apologize for his treatment of Kelly, instead issuing a statement in which he continued to attack her credibility, insisting that she had lied to him about the interview being about Iran. He also said their conversation after the interview was off the record, which she says she never agreed to. . ."

(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/20/president-trump-made-16241-false-or-misleading-claims-his-first-three-years/)

". . . Three years after taking the oath of office (as of Jan. 20, 2020), President Trump has made more than 16,200 false or misleading claims — a milestone that would have been unthinkable when we first created the Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement he has uttered. . . The president apparently believes he can weather an impeachment trial (AND be re-elected) through sheer repetition of easily disproved falsehoods. . . "

One Score . . .

. . . plus eleven

https://www.subpng.com/png-esmlsf/

Some things are difficult to express
With clarity and substance
But when involving something very deep
It's like explaining transconductance

But when the topic's unconditional love
Combined with genuine fondness
The music flows so easily
That you'd think you're barely conscious

Spencer's Mambo

Seed . . .

https://www.pexels.com/search/seeds/

. . . is where the whole thing starts
(and sometimes where it ends)
A spark must first be struck
Before a flame can flash and bend,
It may come mysteriously at times,
Or the source may be readily known,
In either case it's not within my control,
And if not quickly captured, by wind will be blown . . .

. . . and maybe lost forever

Seed

Odds . . .

". . . National poll: US majority wants to see Trump removed from office

The latest polling suggests Republican rhetoric about Trump and his scandal isn't resonating nearly as much as the party likes to think. . ."

(from https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-national-debt-increase-3-trillion-first-three-years-presidency-1483660?fbclid=IwAR2_M3mZaNaXTNSSOeNEqITAqE6z2fyktBuRqQXxchPnYP0bJHUChAGR89M)

". . . Nearly four years after then-presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would eliminate the federal debt in eight years, the deficit has since risen by more than 16 percent under his presidency. . ."

". . . "In light of today's announcement from the defense department that 34 U.S. service members suffered traumatic brain injuries as a result of Iran's retaliatory strike and President Trump's remarks which minimized these troops’ injuries, the Veterans of Foreign Wars cannot stand idle on this matter. . . TBI is a serious injury and one that cannot be taken lightly. TBI is known to cause depression, memory loss, severe headaches, dizziness and fatigue — all injuries that come with both short- and long-term effects. . ."

'. . . Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly berated a reporter for NPR with abusive language after an interview in which he was questioned about Ukraine and issues that are at the center of the impeachment trial against President Trump. . . NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly revealed during a segment on “All Things Considered” on Friday that Pompeo questioned whether Americans even care about Ukraine and if the veteran journalist — who had recently returned from reporting in Iran — could find the country on a map. . .'

(from https://danrodricks.com/2020/01/26/trump-the-lizard-brain-and-survival-of-the-spineless/?fbclid=IwAR3wMZe2h-qckbBV7vQLD1zTw-9Ra8e1uWViCxSvEsoxfO6L5tjgQ0-SFNA)

'. . . people who hated Obama, who previously hated politics and politicians generally, or who just didn’t pay much attention, suddenly were in the electoral mix. They heard Trump say things — crude, nasty, politically incorrect things — that they had previously heard only on conservative talk radio or on FOX programming. They liked it. Trump spoke to them. His simple us-versus-them view of the country, his America First worldview — it all appealed to them. They took his lack of impulse control for candor, his attacks on Democrats (their fellow Americans) as patriotic. Perhaps that’s all emotional. I think it’s more primal than that. . . Republican senators, led by the tortoise-like Mitch McConnell, have never seen anything like this before, and I believe Trump has stirred up fear in all of them — fear of the people he’s pulled into politics, the MAGA crowd, the cheering, jeering men and women who have responded to Trump, stand by him and ignore his constant lies. So spineless senators, fearing backlash from zealous Trumpistas, eschew their responsibility to deliberate and consider the evidence. They’re all-in with the worst president in U.S. history. It’s not complicated. It’s self-preservation. It requires no thinking. It’s all lizard brain stuff. . ."
