The Rosenstein Angle
It's as bad as it gets when the boss ducks responsibility for the decisions he makes - when the boss is POTUS, it's worse than as-bad-as-it-gets.
We have a "president" telling us that firing Comey was somebody else's idea, and he was only acting at the suggestion of a subordinate.
"It was Reinhard Heydrich's idea to kill all the Jews - I was just following the recommendations of a trusted adviser."
And given what we've always known about 45*'s mastery at finding and exploiting the SmarmSpace, we have no reason to be surprised at this. It's what he does.

Send In The Pimp
She hits the main point - again - "You're looking at the wrong set of facts."
(Ignore what you see and listen to what I tell you you're seeing)
And also too - I guess this could be Kellyanne getting another chance. Or she's being thrown from the back of the wagon. The Press Poodles will give her some air time, knowing people love to rip into her, which of course, relegates her to the status of a high-priced sacrificial lamb. It buys 45* a little more time. And if that's the case, then somebody at the White House knows things are even worse than before, and they're about to get even worser.

That George Will Piece
George Will, taking down 45*, in Salt Lake Tribune:
I mean, c'mon, it's George Will. Even though his relevancy went out the window along with his credibility back when he decided to hang in there with the home team and took to doing a little cheerleading for Bush43's idiotic tax cuts and Iraq etc, the guy can still turn a phrase:
His fathomless lack of interest in America's path to the present and his limitless gullibility leave him susceptible to being blown about by gusts of factoids that cling like lint to a disorderly mind.
What is most alarming (and mortifying to the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated) is not that Trump has entered his eighth decade unscathed by even elementary knowledge about the nation's history. As this column has said before, the problem isn't that he does not know this or that, or that he does not know that he does not know this or that. Rather, the dangerous thing is that he does not know what it is to know something.

The thing here, George - the thing that has to be repeated and remembered and repeated again until guys like you find the balls to step up and say it - you helped create the environment that produced "President" Donald Trump. And you're still part of the media machinery that goes on pimping the Both Sides bullshit; refusing to acknowledge that one side of our political system has gone completely off the fucking rails - and the suits in the executive suite are doing all that pimping because manufacturing melodrama is what brings in the ad revenue.
We have a fucked up Reality TV POTUS because we've allowed ourselves to be made into a fucked up nation of Reality TV junkies, who've been taught to ignore the line between News and Entertainment - and the line between Ideology and Partisanship - and the line between Real and Fake - and the line between Right and Wrong.
There is no honor in this shit anymore.

Family Planning With Teresa Manning
HuffPo:
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump has appointed Teresa Manning, an anti-abortion activist who has argued that “contraception doesn’t work,” to oversee a federal family planning program for low-income Americans.
Manning, a former lobbyist with the National Right to Life Committee and legislative analyst for the conservative Family Research Council, will serve as deputy assistant secretary for population affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services. The Office of Population Affairs administers the Title X program, which subsidizes contraception, Pap smears and other preventive health care services for 4 million low-income Americans, roughly half of whom are uninsured.
Manning has said she opposes federal family planning funding, and she has a long history of making false claims about birth control and women’s health.
There's still just three things I know for sure about the whole Abortion Issue:
1. Eggs ain't chickens
2. Caterpillars ain't butterflies
3. Ain't nothing goin' on in my daughter's uterus that's any of your goddamned business
So fuck the fuck off, motherfucker.
