This is a great headline: "Our leaders think we're idiots, Chapter 4,329: Milk", Better if it said "our politicians" who are often far from leaders. But the article is a good example of the political analysis we need these days. https://t.co/xGXqcN1GCl https://t.co/R6qdOJtImR

Another abnormality about #POTUS press secretaries occurred to me (as I rode by #KellyLeitch's house). In biological systems the mouth is upstream of the ass. Somehow that got all mixed up in Washington. But in any event there's no brain involved.
