Correspondence With A Friend About "Skinny Repeal" Failure, Upstart Putin And N. Korea

Dear F,

Thanks for your email.

I think Trump is feeling so much heat "around Russia" that he will theatricalize "the Putin spat," making it look like Big Bamboo is the tough guy eager to put down trouble-maker upstart.

I think "the grown ups" will keep Donald in the play pen while they walk back his Obamacare bluster. (Trump has got to be pissed! Of course, coward that he is, he never even stated his healthcare philosophy nor offered any guidance to his party. He just wanted a victory, knowing he could spin any shit sandwich into "something terrific.")

If he tries to pull the plug on Obamacare, the fan will get hit big time.

And the GOP will own the mess. 

Realisticallly, I think the big worry now is military action against North Korea... although it's looking like Kim Jung Un has enough nuclear missiles stashed that he could easily hit Seoul or Japan with one of them. 

Fortunately, no one in his right mind would run that risk.

Unfortunately, Deplorable Donald is not in his right mind.

"Busy giddy minds with foreign wars."

Last Week I Told Friends That North Korea Was Custom-Made For A Trump Attack. Now This...

I can't even imagine what bombardment of North Korea might mean - up to and including the end of civilization as we know it.

Presumably Mattis and MacMaster would form a nucleus of resistance. 

And although I don't know anything about Kelly, he might make it a threesome.

On a political note. it is threatening to withhold reimbursement payment to insurance co's. How does it have the power to unilaterally do that? Will it be in a tweet, like the Transgender in military, that gets walked back by proper authorities?

How do you think it'll handle Putin's ire and pushback at the sanctions?

Haven't heard a word yet.

Dear F,

Thanks for your email.

Although there's an element of relief, I am also keenly aware that the single most dangerous things young people (or any of us) do is to get in an autombbile.

And in Danny's case, since he's a small town boy I am more apprehensive of him navigating the streets of Colorado Springs than going into deep wilderness all alone.

Or, as Caribou calls it, "a walk in the woods."

Wonderboy did it again. Another great adventure under his belt. Are you relieved or is it just me? Hopefully he'll be able to settle long enough to take on college with the same enthusiasm.
