Very funny: David Frum on Morning Joy

He said that the generals did not want to do the military parade for Trump and he pause for a moment and said it would have been Trump’s “bar mitzvah parade”

I had to laugh....

Btw, “frum” means very observant of the Jewish Religion.

Bonus points, And I don’t often give them to Bush administration officials, David Frum’s father was a dentist who became very wealthy and was a philanthropist and art collector.

From his wiki...
"...2009, Frum described his political beliefs as follows:

"I'm a conservative Republican, have been all my adult life. I volunteered for the Reagan campaign in 1980. I've attended every Republican convention since 1988. I was president of the Federalist Society chapter at my law school, worked on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal and wrote speeches for President Bush—not the 'Read My Lips' Bush, the 'Axis of Evil' Bush. I served on the Giuliani campaign in 2008 and voted for John McCain in November. I supported the Iraq War and (although I feel kind of silly about it in retrospect) the impeachment of Bill Clinton. I could go on, but you get the idea."



He does have some good points, but he is wrong a whole freaking lot of the time as well

if Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop aren't available to entertain then tanks, bazookas and marching brown shirts are the next best thing
