You have been tried by twelve good men and true, not of your peers but as high above you as heaven is of hell, and they have said you are guilty. Roy Bean
Much of Trump's cluelessness about issues stems from his refusal to make more than a minimal effort at his job. As his comments about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War confirm, Trump is not merely too lazy to learn; he's too lazy to notice there is anything others know that he might need to. His is indolence on an epic scale. Steve Chapman
Well, I'm about as tall as a shotgun, and just as noisy.- Truman Capote
The American media is as judicious in its treatment of President Trump as that sound voice of due process from Vinegaroon, Texas - Law West of the Pecos. Judge Roy Bean is now working under many pseudonyms - Frank Rich, Dana Milbank, E.J. Dionne, David Brooks, George Will, Billy Kristol, and Kat6rina Vanden Huevel. The Judge has morphed into whole editorial boards at Washington Post, New York Times and even the hick burg rags like Chicago Tribune and Sun Times.
Only months ago, Judge Roy Bean had been Truman Capote to Barack Obama - smooching the patron and hissing at everyone else and then Trump won. Lord the change. The Resistance!
Me? I just read the papers - most of them and then some.
Here is the Cinco De Mayo, 2017 sampling of Trump Thumping from the New York Times in Headline Real journalism. Like nowhere else.

SUNDAY REVIEW
- Mexican Drug Smugglers to Trump: Thanks!
- Trump’s Civil War Comments: Right and Left Reactions
- By ANNA DUBENKO
- A roundup of partisan writing that includes three political myths Mr. Trump has helped to bust and a comic you won’t believe.
- Obamacare Repeal Faces Senate Hurdle
- Fact Check: Is Congress Exempt From the Bill?
Then, I read a deceptively titled story -President Trump Returns to New York for a Brief First Visit - Home Boy President? Nah.
This was a "We Ran Him Otta Town!" piece by Michael Wilson. NY, NY!
The Rube Media here in Chicago is mildly amusing with daffy screeds by lightweights like Rex Hupke, Mary Schmich, Eric Zorn and the Bruce Dold editorial ink. The worst of this sad lot is the Tribune's own David Brooks JV player Stephan Chapman - The Minority of One, his own bad self!
Donald Trump has many worrisome, regrettable and even deplorable traits. But after studying him for the past two years, I have concluded he has an overlooked quality that cancels out many of his bad ones. Say what you will, the man is lazy.
This is a discovery that should gladden people of all parties, philosophies, races, sexes and religions. His detractors can be glad that he will never muster the drive or discipline to actually bring many of his worst ideas to fruition. His admirers can rest easy knowing he will not work himself to death.
Really? Trump has been like an horny rabbit on bennies putting the blocks to the Obama Legacy - nothing for everyone, BUT Obama and his peeps.
Lazy? Chapman was right with his opener "Donald Trump has many worrisome, regrettable and even deplorable traits." Can't argue that. But, the lick spittle who munched Obama's rump for eight years and more should have stopped there,
There was a great line from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Roy Bean-like character exclaims, "I'm not crazy; I'm just colorful. That's what happens when you live "( 8 years alone in a Banana Republic)-, "you get colorful! " Then he is shot dead.
Judge Roy Bean was colorful. The Press is crazy.
