Trump's latest saga

If you're wondering why the media and pols are so excited by the latest Trump-Russia saga, check this story in the Daily Mail.It isn't necessarily a true saga but at least you'll see what why it's so captivating. How often have you seen it said of a president-elect that he had "included hiring prostitutes 'to perform a 'golden showers' (urination) show in front of him.' It says the hotel was known to be under the control of Russia's FSB, with hidden cameras and microphones."

And now here you are repeating it Sam.....very sad. How about instead of lying about Trump and how he supposedly mocks the disabled and is a Russain agent, we just examine what he actually does or attempts to do, OK? Trump Derangement Syndrome is just getting worse - and the Dems are in full denial.; January 11, 2017 at 12:09 AM

What next, the World News Daily excerpts reporting on alien visits to the Oval Office warning of intergalactic conflagration?
New lows, even for you of late, Sam.

It was a fairly good run over the years, but if it has come to this, time to move on---not cold, just refusing to be dragged down into the muck and mire.

ABOUT THE EDITOR

The Review is edited by Sam Smith, who covered Washington under nine presidents, has edited the Progressive Review and its predecessors since 1964, wrote four books, been published in five anthologies, helped to start five organizations (including the DC Humanities Council and the DC Statehood Party), was a plaintiff in three successful class action suits, served as a Coast Guard officer, and played in jazz bands for four decades.

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Sam's one of the few independent voices left. The press today is either extreme or special interest or else just establishment, an extension of the corporate spirit -- Sen. Eugene McCarthy,

One of a small group of whites with whom many blacks would trust their political lives - Chuck Stone, Washingtonian.

A reputation for wit, intelligence and anger. -- Claude Lewis, Chicago Tribune

Smith is an island of reason and information in a sea of narcissistic blather. -- City Paper, Washington

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
