A week of clear-cut posturing, June 19th, 2017

It might seem the past week was just more of the same: the Senate unveiled its health care alternative to Obmacare, Trump raised his campaign victory sign, "We've won several recent elections!" and all was right in the Republican camp.

Yet there are indications of dissent over the lingering premonition that nothing permanent is being wrought.  Oh yes, there's the Presidential Orders taking effect; and there's legislation being discussed in Congress and thee's a hint Kennedy may step down as Chief Justice; but as long as a cloudy dust clogs the White House's air vents arising from a strong legal stench permeating its halls and rooms there's little to suggest a Trump progress toward  policy change is here.  He simply is lacking the wherewith to give direction as the nation languidly drifts.

Meantime, former President Obama continues to lead the search for new leadership in the Democratic Party. Sufficiently financed,indeed, a cadre of potential talent is being identified for the next 6 years and after!  As Trump would say, "Time will tell."
