Spinning In Circles

-
Politicians suck.

I think we can all agree on that, right?

Spinning in circles to try and justify whatever it is they need to justify.

Tuesday was a huge news day...

...which meant that Wednesday would be extraordinarily disturbing.

The first Trump tweet was highly anticipated and he didn’t disappoint.

He told his supporters to look at anyone but Michael Cohen if you need a lawyer.

Pretty funny, huh?

The president is an unindicted co-conspirator in a felony case and he’s joking about his choice of lawyer.

Then he put his spin on it:

“It’s not even a crime.”

The GOP’s media blitz was also anticipated.

Paul Ryan put out a statement saying that he needs more information.

Graham said that a sitting president can’t be indicted.

McConnell, the guy who wanted to make sure that the office of presidency was not tarnished by when  Clinton was there...

...doesn’t seem to have a problem with paying off porn stars now.

But the best was put forth by Huckabilly Sanders.

“The Manafort Case has nothing to do with the president.”

“The Cohen Case is not part of the White House.”

Donald didn’t do anything wrong.

“He hasn’t been charged.”

Giving them a couple of more days will allow them to get a story straight.

Years ago, my son, Jake (who had a bit of a temper) was playing his Game Boy. He started to get frustrated.

“Don’t do it,” I warned him. “Set it down. Calm down. Then play again later.”

Instead of doing that, he threw the Game Boy through my living room window.

I turned to him with a look of shock on my face.

“I didn’t do it,” he said.

That’s what Wednesday was like.

I have one real question though.

Trump has claimed for years that he’s worth billions.

If that’s true why is he using taxpayer money to pay off $130 grand.

Does that make sense?

Someone should ask that question...

...but I doubt that the answer wouldn’t be a lie.

Bunch of crooked bastards.

I wonder what our founding fathers might say.

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,”
