Go Gary!

Gary Cohn, Goldman Sachs


I never noticed Gary Cohn before today, but now I know he was standing next to Trump during that press conference on Tuesday at Trump Tower.  Reports are that he was angry at Trump excusing white supremacists and neo-Nazis.


I've started reading posts on Twitter since January, now check MSNBC news and Twitter every morning. Because I'm 3 hours later, usually whatever is big that day has already happened.  

Today's big topic on Twitter was that Cohn was considering resigning from White House staff--top news until the van attack in Barcelona came along.

This report by Bob Bryan in Business Insider is one of the sources of the Cohn rumors:


I'm now hoping and praying that Gary Cohn will be the first to resign from the White House staff as I tweet and retweet.

Cohn can choose between being the first to resign from the White House or the last to stand there with his finger in the dike holding up the dt presidency.

In this household we all spend at least 3 hours per day reading news.  

I'm on Twitter while watching MSNBC and reading three morning newspapers: Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal

John's reading Twitter and the newspapers 24/7.  He has 1500 or so Twitter followers, as a retired newspaper editor.  I'm retired too--extra time--following 735 people on Twitter and finding 278 followers.

Our adult daughter holds down a full-time job in addition to checking news media on her cell.  She gets her links primarily from Reddit but also follows TMZ--which gives minute-by-minute news such as this story today:

A snapshot of one media-obsessed home in mid-2017--may the reality show in Washington, D.C., end soon so we can get back to normal life.
