Impervious

 The definition of impervious 

Calling attention to this word because it was used in an op ed from The Washington Post reprinted in our local newspaper entitled "Explanations can't make sense of Trump tariffs". 

Here was the last sentence: ..."the president has an obsession with tariffs and is impervious to facts and logic."

I think definitions 1a and 2 are applicable to this man.

It got me thinking about what else this man is impervious to?  Here are two:

He is impervious to people's sufferings especially from losing their jobs or medical aid.

He is impervious to the constitutional limits on the job of president.

He is impervious to a sense of fairness.

I could go on but now it's your turn.  What else is this man impervious to?

And is there a cartoonist out there who can translate this into a cartoon or meme?

Monday Evening

 The view of snow that has disappeared.  

Town Meeting

 

The vote on petition to rescind the gift of the new library by secret ballot.  Lots of speakers for rescission some who made no sense, but more against including a report of the amount of money raised so far: $2.9 million!  Selectmen called on the town counsel about legality of petition and town liability if rescission passes. There would be cause for the nonprofit giving the gift to sue the town which would be very costly to tax payers.

Judging by applause I think the rescission will fail. 

Ballot count

Whew!  Rescission petition defeated: yes was 187 and no 245. 

The library was saved.
