Obligatory, 1.26.19

Well into the day, and no posts.  What to write about?

I could write about the apparent cave in of the POTUS, but on second thought, maybe everybody should just wait and see what develops out of this.  The usual thing is to make commentary upon it, but this may be a time to refrain from that.

Aside from that, there will be no further comment.  Been reading a bit about it, though.  Don't know exactly what to make of it.

Aside from the shutdown theater, Pelosi is saying curious things about Trump.  Lately she said something to the effect that Putin has something on Trump.  Let's see--- there has been over two years of this Russian collusion, and they have what evidence?????

You know that if they did have something, it would be all over the news.  Especially back in 2016, when it could have made the difference in the outcome.

So, why is Pelosi saying this???  I am seeing it as a sign of weakness, perhaps.  Maybe.  Why would somebody continue repeating a story that has no basis in fact, but to bolster a belief in something that does not exist?  Is it to reassure themselves that something does indeed exist, even though there is no evidence of it?  Does not seem like a sign of strength to me.

It is also curious in light of the seemingly big victory she has supposedly won over Trump.  If he is tamed, why keep repeating a discredited claim like Russian collusion?

Things are not always the way they appear.  I would not be too disheartened by what has happened.  This story is not over yet.
