Several glaring ironies:

Jim Acosta’s White House press credentials revoked for touching intern on the arm. Donald Trump elected president after bragging about groping women by their privates.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg back at work after breaking three ribs. Trump misses 100-year anniversary of World War I ceremony because of rain.

Matthew Whitaker appointed as acting U.S. attorney general, though his company World Patent Marketing has been investigated for fraud by the FTC and the FBI.

Mia Love sues Salt Lake County, but not Utah County, to stop/examine vote counting process and signatures.

Trump is a five-deferment draft evader (bone spurs), yet sends 15,000 troops to our southern border and wants a multimillion-dollar military parade.

Europe talking about creating its own military, because it can’t count on the U.S. and NATO.

Just another day in politics!
