Lucy and I were discussing trade policy on our walk tonight. She stepped onto the grass verge and told me exactly what she thinks of Trump's trade policy. I had to agree, as I pulled out the appropriate baggy (responsible citizen that I am).

Lucy disagrees. Dogs are good friends. Trump is more like Putin's chamber pot. Useful, in a rather disgusting way.

This is my RCAF Dad in 1941, wearing his antifa suit, during the antifa Commonwealth Air Training Program, presenting wings to an American, who is also wearing his antifa suit. I feel for you, Portland.

I got a bit of a Stockholm Syndrome vibe. Something about the way Trump was clapping his hands and shifting his feet. If he had brought a blankie, I'd totally understand what was going on, I see it every day.
