GISELLE DONNELLY: What Trump Left Out of His ‘Manifest Destiny’ Inaugural Address
🚨OVERTIME🚨
There’s no point in saying Happy Monday, because it certainly is not one… Thank you for allowing me to channel my inner Nancy Pelosi there, but… it’s Monday? For Morning Shots and Overtime, we typically say at some point “Happy [Day]” but since we’re about being real here at The Bulwark, today was not a happy day. I hope, despite events, you made the best of it. Events didn’t transpire the way a lot of people hoped: The Inauguration was moved indoors, though the weather was fine, albeit cold. I’ve been to colder Inaugurations, but since the tickets were rendered invalid, I watched remotely as many of you did. Not everyone wanted to watch, and I get that: that’s what you have us for! It was my first time back in the D.C. area since we moved to Ohio. It was nice to catch up with family, friends, and old neighbors. And, I got to go to Wagamama, one of my favorite restaurants, which opened after we left (pictured above.) The one thing I didn’t foresee when we booked our flight back: the national championship game. As you get this, I’ll be high in the air, headed back to Ohio, hoping my plane’s wifi works. Go Buckeyes! Speaking of Ohio football… An old high school classmate of mine who works in film, has made a documentary called The Object of the Game, which is also the title of book co-written by my high school English teacher, and coach extraordinaire Chuck Kyle. It’s a star studded tribute to an excellent educator and legendary coach. Some good news… Out of Cincinnati. Involving a politician (who happens to be a college pal) and dogs. As Hamilton County transitioned its court records, the clerk’s office was left with space it wasn’t using. Who needed the space? Cincinnati Animal CARE. Talk about a howling success! (WVXU) 🎵On the Jukebox… 🎵 Leif Vollebekk - Rock and Roll Trump Triggers a Crisis in Denmark—And Europe… What a single phone call from the president-elect did to an unswerving American ally. (Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic🎁) Neo-Nazis… Sure love Elon’s post-Inaugural salute! (WIRED). How the biggest rock band in the world… disappeared. (Will Leitch, WaPo🎁) A lie a minute… Daniel Dale fact checks the post-Inaugural speech (Mediaite) The leopards came quickly… for this techy Trump optimist. Must be new at this! Gov. Sweatervest… Along with other GOP Govs. was relegated to the overflow room to make space for those who haven’t fully kissed Trump’s derriere. Tech support questions? Email members@thebulwark.com.
