The Moment of Truth for Our Liar in Chief

A man is running to run the government he tried to overthrow while he was running it, even as he is running to stay ahead of the law.

That sounds loony, except in the topsy-turvy world of Donald Trump, where it has a grotesque logic.

The question now is: Has Trump finally run out of time, thanks to Jack Smith, who runs marathons as an Ironman triathlete? Are those ever-loving walls really closing in this time?

Or is Smith Muellering it?

...the most important issue in the world was Al Gore's suit.

I'd sort of hoped she'd been shiluffled off to a rest home for senile media flakes, but she's still around to trivialize.

It's somewhat surprising the NYT keeps her around, since there are much better opinion writers out there they could hire.

But a blind pig does find an acorn on occasion, so that's why the original post.
