I was going to write something else, but Trumpmania interfered. And really, there was no real news generated by Mr. Trump this week. He hasn't offered any specifics, he hasn't signed any bills, he is only working within the authority of Executive Privilege and tormenting the rest of us as usual.
Bret Stephens explains why Donald Trump is tormenting his hard right supporters now. They now join those of us who believe ourselves to be reasonable people in our torment. Meanwhile, and this will not be in the link, the smoke that I believe is created by the fire that will reveal the facts of how Trump violates the Emoluments Clause and forms the basis of an impeachable offense continues to get thicker.

And I know how Dana Milbank feels. I have gained, and cannot summon the energy to lose, 10 lbs since the Election. It cannot be good for my health.
Dana Milbank on how Trump has given him high blood pressure
All I can do is hope that somehow the Democrats win control of the House and can start impeachment proceedings on the Emoluments Clause. I don't care that we will then have a President Pence. At least, we will have a divided government that might produce some policies that do some good for people. What that might look like was going to be the subject of today's writing, but will have to wait for another day.
