Greetings! Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy note for the disgraced financier’s 50^th birthday, according to last night’s much-anticipated Wall Street Journal article.  It’s certainly not a good look for POTUS, but it’s probably not a knockout punch.  The “Extra” tape with the “grab them by the pussy” soundbite was released just before the 2016 election and he still wound up in the White House. Accusations of sex with porn star Stormy Daniels didn’t derail his political career. Some factions of MAGA-world have turned on The Donald.  While Trump is once again revealed to be a sewer rat, I predict he  slithers out of this latest revelation…While the media industry braces for devastating funding cuts to PBS and NPR, another bomb landed on a legacy outlet last night. CBS abruptly  announced the end of  “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” next May. Hollywood in Toto swallowed the hard-to-believe corporate BS that the decision was “based on financial realities, not content or political pressure.” Yeah, right. I’m sure it had nothing to do with Colbert’s years of anti-Trump monologues and the impending sale of CBS that needs FCC approval….Medical condition of the week: chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Trump’s afflicted with the mostly non-life-threatening disease, which the White House announced yesterday. Take a look at this image of Trump’s swollen ankle and you’ll understand the condition on the first bounce.  Worth noting: while CVI is generally not fatal, it’s  a progressive condition so it’s likely to get worse, not better. As a public service to President Trump, I’ve included a link to Amazon’s Best Shoes for Edema page…..Weekend Watch: HBO Max’s two-part documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, which debuts tonight.  I’m a longtime fan of the Piano Man, and after this week’s nonstop news, it promises to give my brain a much-needed wash and rinse….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
