Donnie's little light bulb

Those of us who read comic books and watch cartoons know that we all have a little lightbulb that is suspended over our heads. When we have a moment of sudden clarity or understanding, it clicks on and shines brightly. So I was wondering whether Donnie Down at mal de mer this weekend will have such a moment. What I was imagining is Donnie gathered with his trusted advisors Jared and Ivanka, and maybe the two boys Sonny and Fredo, discussing Syria and Russia endlessly stating that they had nothing to do with either enabling or accomplishing a chemical warfare attack in Syria. Perhaps he would say something like" Why do they keep lying, everybody knows that they are lying". It is at that point that the little light might go  on and Donnie might think" Oh my God, is that how people have been reacting to me?" Who knows.

In the aftermath of the US attack on the Syrian Air Force Base, the blabbering and posturing has been incessant. Was it constitutional; was it the right sort of attack; what message did it send; what did it say to China; how will Russia react ; what comes next? My own opinion was that it wasn't enough. They should have totally destroyed the base , its runways and infrastructure. You only get one chance for a total surprise move like that one and it should've been more robust. Rex Tillotson has said that movement is under way already to oust  Asaad. That being the case, there was no reason not to cripple his ability to strike through the air.

Apparently Hillary Clinton agrees with me. She really needs to go away and quit talking. All she will do is allow more blabbering about what did or did not occur when she was Secretary of State and Obama was president and what Trump said then and now. Totally useless. By running a breathlessly inept campaign and bequeathing us Pres. Trump , she has done  enough. She should go do something useful like helping Jimmy Carter build habitat for humanity.

Meanwhile, we all wonder whether Trump and his advisers have a Mideast and a Far East strategy in mind. Rasputin says he is not going and that he and Jared and rhinoceros proboscis can get along nicely. All I can say is in this case I'm all for nepotism.
