Yesterday I confessed to mild depression after slogging my way through the mud, blood and guts of the British civil war as depicted in Leanda de Lisle's excellent history of "The White King". I haven't yet reached the end but my lagging, nay, sagging, spirits have been raised this morning by America's greatest living comic - Sen. Elizabeth Warren. She is the blue-eyed, fair-haired, er, 'Red Indian' who is 'poised in the slips' merely waiting her chance to race for the Presidency when Donald's ego reaches critical and he explodes in a fireball of hot air, fat twittering fingers and ginger hair!
Of course, Elizabeth Warren is no more a 'Red Indian' than I was when, as a nipper, me and my scallywag mates used to play 'cowboys and Indians'. Here is her picture and I leave it to you to judge:
However, early in her youth Ms. Warren developed and practiced that fundamental skill which is an absolute requirement for all politicians everywhere - lying! In her youth, whilst trying to sneak in to Harvard Law School where rumour has it that 'lying' is on the curriculum, she claimed to be of Red Indian stock and thus, given the soppy rules and regs of that ineffably PC institution, she sneaked in as a representative of a 'minority race' irrespective of any legal or intellectual skills she might or might not have had.
A few days ago she made the opening, 'pawn to K4' move in the great political chess game by addressing a conference of genuine Red Indians and said:
"I never used my family tree to get a break or get ahead. I never used it to advance my career"
At this point one could have expected an old Red Indian chant of "Liar! Liar! Pants on fire" before they scalped her but, alas, it appears that the fine old traditions of Big Chief Sitting Bull have long since passed. Therefor, it falls to the fine old traditions of the (not so) great American media to expose this "lying liar" - so don't hold your breath! Actually, I hope she does run for the top job, it will be hilarious!
Policy wise she is Bernie Sanders in a skirt with more hair too. She works up the commie lib press and like minded Dems in her part of America when she shifts into her "righteous indignation" routine. A tiresome Trot.

Apparently Trump will explode because he reaches a critical mass of scandal. That aside, there's little chance Warren will be the nominee. Keep your powder dry for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Well, Bob, 'HillBilly' never exploded and she is carrying more dynamite that Trump!

Investigations do not dynamite make, David. Eight Benghazi investigations and several others involving Clinton's emails turned up nothing incriminating. On the other hand, Muller's Russia investigation has already produced two Trump insiders' guilty pleas with another likely to be announced soon along with the indictment of over a dozen Russian hackers.
Trey Gowdy, who ran Clinton investigations in the House, has announced his retirement but for now is investigating why over 130 White House officials in security sensitive positions can't get clearances, though of course he's going to try to blame the FBI. Add the Stormy Daniels, Rob Porter, and half-dozen other less headline worthy scandals, and a chain reaction is already underway.
