So why is Donald Trump's favorite tabloid, the National Enquirer, suddenly throwing Michael Flynn under the bus?

Inside the tabloid you see this:

The Enquirer claims that their source for this accusation is in the White House.

In the past the Enquirer has had seemingly unfettered access to Donald Trump, who by the way is also in the White House.

I'm just saying.

So exactly what has happened that would convince the White House to scapegoat Michael Flynn?

Well, it might have something to do with this:

Former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey told CNN Friday that former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn met with representatives of the Turkish government in 2016 and discussed potential ways to send a foe of Turkey's president back to face charges in that country. 

As a representative of his consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, Flynn met with senior representatives of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government in September 2016, Woolsey said. Woolsey was a Trump campaign adviser at the time and attended the meeting, but said he arrived after it was already well underway. 

Woolsey claims that those present discussed sending Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim leader who Erdogan has accused of being behind a failed military coup to overthrow him, back to Turkey to face charges -- possibly outside the legal US extradition system. 

"What I saw and heard was sort of the end of the conversation -- it's not entirely clear what transpired because of that," Woolsey said on "CNN Tonight" with Don Lemon. "But it looks as if there was at least some strong suggestion by one or more of the Americans present at the meeting that we would be able, the United States would be able, through them, to be able to get hold of Gulen, the rival for Turkey's political situation."

Yeah, that's pretty troubling. And when added to the fact that there are transcripts of conversations that Flynn had  a Russian ambassador, and that he was paid by Russian-related entities, I guess Trump might be thinking he needs to cut Flynn lose before things get traced back to him.

OR, it could be because of this:

Oooh, the plot thickens.

Former Ferguson City Court Clerk fired over racist e-mails claims she felt like she was "raped."

Courtesy of Mediaite:  

“It took me a while to get over the feeling of being raped and being thrown under the bus,” she told KMOV in her first interview since losing her job. “I feel like I was the sacrificial lamb.” 

She added that if everyone who sent racist emails were fired they’d “have to shut the doors.” 

“It went on all the time.” Twitty did say she understands how the emails look bad in retrospect, but insisted she meant nothing racist by it. 

“It’s ruined my name, it’s devastated me,” Twitty said. “I’m not that person that they’re saying I am…It’s not like I personally sent them out or forwarded them to the police officers to hurt anyone or be racist. Because I’m not racist…I’m human. I meant nothing bad by it.

So to be clear Ms. Twitty did not send out those racist e-mails because she is a bigot. She sent them out because making derogatory remarks and showing racially insensitive images of black people  is funny.

After all what's racist about that?

She is right about one thing however if indeed it "went on all the time" then she should certainly not be the only city employee to lose her job over it.

Quote of the day.

"The original sin was supposed to have been committed by Adam. Who as we now know never existed. So we now have the preposterous idea that Jesus was sacrificed, the scapegoat was sacrificed, for the sins of a nonexistent forebearer."

I finally watched this the other day. 

Gonzales blames McNulty for the firing of the US Attorneys. You see McNulty had integrity and that must be punished.

The Bush administration will not allow anybody with a conscience to escape untarnished from their grasp. Gonzales and company decided that since McNulty had resigned then why not just blame him for everything. I mean what could be more convenient?

Mr. McNulty do you have anything you would like to say? Please?
