Tuesday begins
with an apology
from Senator Orrin Hatch
to Senator John McCain
for suggesting it was "ridiculous"
for him to declare
that he wouldn't want President Trump
at his funeral
(who wouldn't want to be there anyway
as it probably contradicts
his belief system
of only attending funerals
of people who weren't captured
as well as his own
when the time comes)
and a non-apology
for plunging the US
into diplomatic crisis with Iran
and inexplicably severing
any even tenuous connection
that might be made
between "Trump"
and "peace in the Middle East."
Trump is also probably reveling
in his 2013 tweet
about
once-beloved Democrat Eric Schneiderman
"Wait and see
worse than Spitzer or Weiner"
and gloating in the fact
that he technically
has the upper hand
(or rather lower)
as he has not been called out
for engaging in the now-ex-New York Attorney General's
specific form of physical abuse.
