Pardon Me

-
Okay, first we heard that no one had anything to to do with Russia.

Then we heard there was a meeting they forgot about that was about adoptions.

Then we found out it wasn’t about adoptions, but NO COLLUSION!

Then they floated the idea that collusion isn’t a crime.

And that the president couldn’t be indicted, or couldn’t actually obstruct justice.

But yesterday’s tweet takes the cake:

“I can pardon myself!”

Wouldn’t that be nice!

In what walk of life should any man or woman be able to do whatever they want, and then when they’re caught, and after they’re convicted they can say:

“Uh, I’ve decided that I’m gonna’ cut myself some slack here! No punishment for me!!”

When I heard what he’d tweeted I had a single thought:

“Isn’t that enough with this guy?”

He congratulates himself on job numbers, and the economy being the greatest maybe of all time! Meanwhile, a trillion dollars was added to the deficit and those who got the tax cut decided not to actually pay workers.

It’s all gaslighting.

And why do you think he’s now saying that he can pardon himself?

‘Cause he did it!

All of it.

And he knows he’s caught.

And, I’m not kidding.

That’s enough.

Will congress really entertain the thought that he could be guilty of all that he’s accused of, and he can tweet out:

“I, Donald J. Trump have decided to pardon, Donald J. Trump for conspiring with a foreign government, obstructing justice and uh, um, might as well throw in those uh, sexual harassment thingies. I’m also not guilty of tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering, and cheating on every wife  I’ve ever had.”

And then we’d all go:

All right now!

Let’s let him be president!

Will he then jail the people who were investigating him?

Go after his political enemies?

Shoot the Director of the FBI (as Guiliani suggested)

And then pardon himself again???

GTFO with this dude.

Seriously.

Ain’t that enough?

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
