Two More Strikes, But They're Still Not Out

The Trump Administration keeps on hitting foul balls.  Today, they racked up two more.

Strike 1

The mind-bending, hard-fought efforts of Afghan women to achieve social and political justice are being abandoned.  Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged yesterday that the U. S. will make no effort to convince the Taliban to maintain the freedoms Afghan women have already secured.  Perhaps Mr. Pompeo should view Osama, the first film made in Afghanistan after the ouster of the Taliban from that country's government.

Strike 2

Ken Cuccinelli, Deputy Director of our Department of Homeland Security, had to ask on Twitter for help on the Corona virus.  Keep in mind that The Cooch (his long-time nickname) is one of the people leading our efforts to contain this potential pandemic.  As such, his almost-conspiracy-theory about the origin of the virus shouldn't surprise us, since blaming almost everything on adversaries like Russia and China is de rigueur in TrumpWorld.

Strike 3

Hopefully we can deliver it on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.
