Distractions

Look over there! It's demon COCAINE!!!

KJP spent half of today's White House briefing talking about the little baggie of cocaine found in the White House, in a crack of furniture where visitors congregate. 

The amount is so small that a big-city cop would likely have just emptied it on the ground. Why not? It's legal most places, thanks to political vote fishing. And, just for the record, I don't believe it was Hunter's. Even Hunter is more discreet than that.

That's what the Secret Service should have done, then maybe make a comment to the effect of, "Don't do this, America. This is your house, too."

But NO! Look over there! We found some cocaine!

KJP could have taked about the economy, Ukraine, Prigoshin, China, our transportation crisis, energy and so much more. Instead, "You want a briefing, I'll GIVE you a freakin' briefing." 

It just won't be about anything important. That's the way of today's White House. "We'll talk to you but we won't tell you anything."

That's transparency today. Transparency is whenever they'll deign to talk to us. They count those, you know. Then she can say, "The White House has spoken about this X many times." What underlines that is "Weren't you paying attention?" Prol.

Bottom line for us today is, "Why did you call this press briefing at all?"

The real bottom line for KJP is, "We clicked off another day without reporting an international blunder. The election is that much closer. Whew."
