Namely D. Axelrod on how Trump can govern in view of his cabinet picks’ differing with him on “some key issues”:

“This is a great, unanswered question,” said David Axelrod, who was a top adviser to Mr. Obama. “It seems that Trump does not come to this with a well-developed philosophy so much as a well-conceived marketing strategy.

“Now there will be a behind-the-scenes battle to fill in the void that will mirror the battle between factions of the Republican Party. It is not clear how these disputes in the battle to define Trump will be decided.”

Wuxtry, wuxtry. Pot just called kettle black. To put it another way, substitute his onetime boss, as that it seems Obama came without “well-developed philosophy so much as a well-conceived marketing strategy.”

A strategy, it should be noted, devised by D.A. himself.

More from Boff, this time objecting to Cardinal Burke and four other cardinals’ quizzing Francis on what he said in “Amoris Laetitia,” about communion to the divorced and remarried:

The pope cannot be judged, that is the teaching of the Church.

He’s a purist, I guess.

=====================

A clarification: Time was when Boff lived off criticizing the pope, as a commenter noted:

Kevin Aldrich  9 hours ago

“The pope cannot be judged” unless the Pope is John Paul II and the judge is Boff.

The poor earth!

Whoever speaks today of the poor, also has to speak of the earth, because it, too, is now being plundered and abused. “To hear the cry of the poor,” that means to hear the cry of the animals, the forests, of the whole tortured creation. The whole earth cries.

Have a heart, somebody!

RUSH:  Would somebody give Hillary Clinton a participation trophy already?  Somebody please, so they would shut up about the Russians and about blaming everybody that they lost.

Pleeeeze!

Go Kellyanne, woman of the year..

“Kellyanne Conway has been a trusted advisor and strategist who played a crucial role in my victory,” Trump said in a statement. “She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message.”

“I want to thank the President-elect for this amazing opportunity,” Conway said. “A Trump presidency will bring real change to Washington and to Americans across this great nation.”

Well,  amazing insights call for amazing opportunities.

And this time I mean it, and it’s not a crack about that word, at which I often blanch, quail, shrink while twisting my happy, friendly face into a sneer.

Some other possibilities? How about any one of these, with credits to thesaurus.com?

amazing, astonishing, awesome, fascinating, incredible, marvelous, prodigious, shocking, stunning, surprising, unbelievable, wonderful

Second thought, forget it. Go, Kellyanne.
