Fighting Words

My personal three-posts-a-month quota is killing me, so I'll keep this one short.

Omarosa, you done messed up. Your efforts were noble, I get that. In an attempt to blow the lid on President Trump, and with more credibility than "Fire & Fury," you still wrote several hundred pages of unsubstantiated gossip-mongering. Its more salacious than revealing. The most noteworthy accusation, where Omarosa Marigault-Newman (Stallworth?) hears Trump say the N-word and has audio proof, stops short of explaining why she hasn't released the recording. Video has also failed to turn up.

The Trump administration is toxic to the extent that even the whistle-blowers can't help but trip over themselves. They are excised, they are labeled pathetic by Trump and his staff, and when they offer their side of the story (like Steve Bannon via Michael Wolff) they veer into heresy and self-serving. Even Sean Spicer's omission-riddled memoir, far more glad-handing than the works of Wolff or Omarosa, was scoffed at.

Two more years of this nonsense.
