It's quiet... too quiet.

"Why Is Trump So Quiet?/This might be the slowest period of news since the president took office—despite ample material to get him fired up" (The Atlantic).

Oh, that Trump. He's always up to something.

Yes. What do you think Putin has up his sleeve?

He doesn't want to interrupt the rack on tour.

Silence of... implies that the voracious appetites of the press's cannibals have been temporarily sated. Was it sex, drugs, or the elevated noise floor?

The Natives are restless.

The porn actress show bombed. That's the problem.

They don't know what to do now.

The calm before the storm. The water gone out before the tsunami.

Trad guy:

Hannity is supposed to have some big bombshell tonight about the Unanium One affair. This might be the calm before that storm.

Of course Hannity always has some HUGE BOMBSHELL!!! coming.

How long has President Trump been uncontroversial? 6 hours? IS that a long time? Can't the guy take a nap or eat his waffle?

"Acting presidential is easy." Trump

Snark said...

Maybe Melania is his ventriloquist and she's told him she's not speaking through him right now.

glenn said...

Well, he just fired that VA mook. That should have been day one.

Comanche Voter said...

That sounds like a line from a bad "jungle movie" from the 30's or 40's. But the real question is this case is the location of the "jungle" with the cannibals. Are they going to swarm out of the Oval Office, set up a big kettle with a fire under it and boil the Journolist crew up for a cannibal delight> Or is that the cannibals will descend from the Washington Post and the New York times and have barbecue ala Tarzan Trump?

Ideally Trump is reflecting on how he ended up as Schumer's splooge stooge last week, and how he might take prophylactic measures in the future.

The Inspector General Michael Horowitz is releasing the first of his three part report- the Clinton E mails, followed by the election spying of the Trump campaign and lastly the "collusion of the "insurance dossier after the election. Fasten your seat belts.

Well, it's Holy Week, a time for Penitence and Reflection.

Bunch of things lined up -

- North Korea business might be set to break open. If you go by the Asian news this is looking like the equivalent of the fall of the Berlin Wall. TBD.

- Many shoes still to drop on Facebook/Google/Amazon (maybe)

- IG investigation

buwaya said...

I suspect a lot of insider sales out of Google, etc.
Its been a bad month for "tech". For a reason, and not an obvious one.

It's not quiet at the VA.

The other day a veteran killed himself in the waiting room. Today Trump thanked the VA Administrator for his service, and replaced him.

I hope the new administrator can do all he can to get the freeloaders out of the system (both medical and patient).

In war this is what is known as an "operational pause."

Bay Area Guy said...

The Left feeds off chaos and turbulence. Tranquility is not their friend.

If things are quiet and peaceful, how are these complacent bastards gonna join the revolution?

Tommy Duncan said...

It's quiet. Trump is hiding. Why is he hiding? What is he hiding? Hiding something is obstruction of justice. Impeach him!

What do we want?
Impeachment!
When do we want it?
Now!

Impeachment is what democracy looks like!

Do you know that physicians cannot work part time or volunteer for free at the VA ?

Interesting rules. A guy I work with, a retired Army doc, wanted to do one or the other at the VA and was told no. He used to work full time reviewing disability requests but he doesn't want to work full time anymore.

I once considered applying to work at a VA hospital but the application is about 70 pages.

It's quiet....too quiet.

Shouldn't an Apache arrow or a Zulu spear be landing inches away from us right now?

Silly, it's his N-th dimensional social media manipulation chess. Sheesh.

This reminds me of being at the gym the other day and perpetually butt hurt Anderson Cooper was calling the trump administration "on account" that Trump hasn't bother to respond to the stormy daniels 60 minute interview but he responded to all these other incidents, blah, blah, blah and so forth. He sounded very much like MNEM complaining how trump won't respond to him and it gives him the sadz. Just when I think CNN has hit bottom they hit another unexplored depth scientists where not aware of.

It's quiet. TOOOO quiet. The natives are up to something.

I'm too old to get excited by this. I'll get my hopes up when there is a recommendation to file criminal charges.

Mark Daniels said...

"Oh, that Trump. He's always up to something." Pretty much. It's just that usually what he's up to is done on impulse, often catching the members of his own administration off-guard. In this instance, they may be thrown off-guard...by the fact that he appears to be acting with something like deliberation. It's strange and noteworthy.

Gk1 said...

Say, wasn't that OIG report supposed to be released this month? Did I miss something?

Yancey Ward said...

Maybe Trump died.

exhelodrvr1 said...

He's manipulating the press, probably because there is something major in the works, maybe because he just likes messing with their minds.

Unknown said...

Stupid is he that has his opposition do his work for him. Making his small hands the big issue will cost them an earth shattering mass wasting.

The Zulus faced Englishmen who fought well, after they'd faced Englishmen who had not.
In the movie, after being unable to break the English defenses, the Zulus paid tribute to their opponents with a salute to fellow braves.

I do not expect such honorable behavior from leftist progs.
Pass the ammunition and remain at posts!
