Kickass, the doorstop dog, passes along the news from the keeper that just in time for Mother’s Day, the Trump gang that couldn’t shoot straight is pushing through a change in USPS regs to make it easier to ship guns through the mail.
With the comment period on the issue already closed, it is still possible for mothers like Phyllis to announce that they would not appreciate finding a gun in the mailbox on Mother’s Day, preferring, perhaps, a box of dark chocolates. The keeper takes note.
State officials are objecting to the gun-mailing measure, including those in Nevada where citizens remember Oct. 1, 2017 when a Las Vegas shooter killed 60 people. Other states have their own gun memories to consider.
The tie-in of Mother’s Day and guns-in-the-mail is so typical of what is currently coming out of the crumbling White House that it must wait in line for comment by the midnight wizard of odd. As he told the kids recently gathered for a fitness program, they could all be dead except for him and he was building a golden ballroom for them.
It is a sensitive, appropriate expression and reasoned leadership that has been absent from the White House since the wizard made fun of the handicapped reporter and talked about how to “grab” women.
There will be other Mothers Days to celebrate, but the one coming up needs to call in the fumigators and check the mailbox for guns before opening the chocolates.
