Thanks to my observant sister, who told me my head should be exploding due to the IRS settlement scandal when many sources, blogs and pundits hadn’t even covered it yet, I was able to get some commentary out even ahead of my legal ethicists listserv, which, predictably since they pounce on Trump whatever he does, REALLY pounced yesterday.
On the bad side, my head hasn’t stopped exploding yet, and the whole house is a mess. And I haven’t even been able to seriously consider the gravamen of the New York Times joining Margery Taylor Greene in condemning Trump’s helping to jettison a GOP Congressman who couldn’t bring himself to condemn anti-Semitism.
On my Facebook page, a smart, Trump Deranged Jewish lawyer friend who called for everyone to vote for the illegal and dishonest “restore fairness” Virginia gerrymandering referendum, bemoaned the end of CBS radio and called it smoking gun proof that CBS was now working for MAGA. Yes, CBS radio’s demise is Trump’s fault. He even included a weepy reference to Edward R. Murrow. News radio is, like the US Postal Service, bow ties, landlines and the Sears catalogue, outdated, anachronistic and disposable, having once served a great purpose. You know, like the Model T.
Yes, it’s crazy out there. Use the Open Forum to start fixing it,

Barney “I had been too sanguine about Fannie and Freddie” Frank is being eulogized by some as: “(A)rchitect Of Landmark Wall Street Reforms“
Let’s leave aside his claim that he knew nothing about a gay brothel hidden in plain sight; heck, that could happen to anyone, am I right?
Anywho, some people (myself included) will have a hard time glorifying someone for a solution to a problem they were instrumental in creating; the Sub Prime Mortgage Meltdown
To be sure, Frank had a plenty of help (the Community Reinvestment Act, Franklin Raines, Maxine Waters, Greg Meeks, Maurice Strong, Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, Barack Obama, etc.), but his filthy fingerprints are all over it.
THIS will put a finer point to it.

A great example of how the MSM covered up part of a disastrous scandal and botch the Democrats shared responsibility for so Republicans could be blamed, giving us Barack Obama…a prime example of how that party cheats. So now we have to put up with whitewashed tributes to Barney.
