I have not been paying a whole lotta attention to the news lately…too many pressing matters including deadlines. But I peek now 'n then at the trouble Donald Trump is in as it increases daily. We're about to see the first criminal trial ever of a U.S. ex-President and that'll be hard to ignore. If you'd like to know what it's all about, David Corn wrote an "everything you need to know" piece about the alleged crime.
I did see Trump's new wishy-washy pivot on Abortion which seems to have a dual goal: To convince Pro-Choice voters that he won't ban it if elected and to assure Pro-Life voters that he will. Does anyone anywhere believe this man really cares about the issue except as it impacts who'll vote for him and who won't? William Saletan explains why it's so obvious that Donald doesn't.
