Five Things + 1

FIVE + ONE

1. After watching 4 episodes of The Grand Tour (spawn of Top Gear), I must admit that they pulled it off.  Much better than I  expected.  I like it.  But, not as much as the early Top Gears. I am, however, not in with Richard Hammond's by now stale role of  obnoxious twat. 2.  For y'all who recommended Jay Leno's Garage —it's become my goto happy place.  I love it. Leno is truly a funny guy.  And smart.  I cannot possibly see him voting for Hillary. Thank You. 3.  The left's reaction to Trump's election is so over the top as to defy description.  I mean, so massive, so intense, and so bizarre, that I must conclude they are frantic over the prospect - make that certainty - of Trump's Justice Department's investigation into Obama years criminality, They have nothing to lose by going all in.  4.  I never did, and still do not see Trump as a conservative,  I did see him early on as the only person on earth with the money, brains, and connections -- an outsider--to save this nation.  So, while I don't understand why, for example, he chose  Rex Tillerson as Sec/State—and then John Bolton (my choice) as State Department #2;  I don't care.  (Aside:  Even though Bolton has been trained his whole life to be Sec/Stae, I think Trump sneaks him in to avoid a Senate blood bath. 5. On Wednesday, Politico's Julia Ioffe actually suggested that Mr. Trump is "f***ing his daughter," Ivanka.
