Well, there you have it. And to think people went batshit when the black guy bowed to the emperor of Japan. At least he didn’t blow him in front of the whole world.
Henceforth, voting Republican shall constitute prima facie evidence of treason, as well as incontrovertible proof of brain death, and whoever is standing closest to the decedent should be empowered by law and paid at the prevailing medical wage to pull the plug. We can settle the treason issue afterward, perhaps in the obituary.
Charlie Pierce makes an excellent case for how to proceed from here. Sadly, his advice makes so much sense that no one will take it.

He is a treasonous bastard, and the GOP skunks in the House and Senate who see no evil are complicit.

I never cease to be amazed and horrified… How much longer can this travesty go on? Is there no one in D.C. but Mr. Mueller with cojones enough to pop this gas-bag? I live only for the day…

What I don’t get, and perhaps you can explain, is how toadying to the Russkis doesn’t lose support in the star-spangled banner, god ‘n guns, Trump heartlands. Has the hate shifted from commies to gays and muslims?
July 16, 2018 at 4:22 pm |
I’m at something of a loss myself, Stan. I’d say the Tinfoil Beanie Brigade hates the Hilldebeast even more than commies, homos, Meskins and Mooslims, or even a commie homo Meskin Mooslim, and thus this dude doesn’t even appear on their radar as anything other than their savior from that particular peril.
There’s also the Larry’s Wife Theorem, which may be a more succinct explanation.

late to the game…..what did larry’s wife say…?? can’t fix stupid?? or ??

For years, every time I shook my head and wondered out loud how-in-the-hell this or that happened…my wife, the PhD in philosophy/Ancient Sport Expert/Past President of the International Association of the Philosophy of Sport/Fellow of the American Academy in Rome and now Fulbright Scholar….would reply– “People are stupid.”
So now I know and no longer have to wonder why Cadet Bonespurs occupies the White House, Matteo Salvini is Italy’s Interior Minister or people think Richie Porte can win LeTour. Those three simple words are all I need.

Not me. Putin has about $200 Billion (richest man in the world) from graft, corruption, and the KGB take over and sale of state run businesses when the Soviet Union fell. He is the richest man in the world, and dumpster needs him to bankroll his cons and Putin needs the dumpster to launder that cash. It’s a marriage made in oligarch heaven.
July 16, 2018 at 4:37 pm |
Wow, is he ever playing the role of Putin’s little bitch.

Collusion = trump, pence, McConnell, Ryan and the GOP! The big question in my mind is. Will we ever have another election?
Very damn scary!
July 16, 2018 at 7:08 pm |
Congress has a choice to make. I am not optimistic. They, like Trump, don’t really seem to give a shit about the country.
July 17, 2018 at 5:34 am |
Charley I don’t know if intentional but I like how you didn’t capitalize trump or pence. I’m following suit from here on out. Neither one deserves the effort it takes to hit the shift key. As others have pointed out, they get way too much credit for screwing America over. Credit goes to the dumbass farmers, auto workers, Smedleys, and other assorted bigots and racists who vote for any/all right wing front men. Larry, you got a spare cot for me in Italy? I need to get way closer to good wine until some level headed thinking returns to the USA.

Piedmont Cycling Resort has more than 70 rooms + apartments like ours. I almost wish the TV didn’t get CNN so I wouldn’t see this foolishness going on.
History (assuming someone gets to write the truth about all of Orange Hitler’s derangement for those who come after us) will not be kind to the Rethug Senators who could actually put the brakes on this.
Technically I still live in Iowa, but I have zero hope Grandpa Grasseley or the Hog-Baller Ernst will do anything but dress up in their Nazi SS costumes and sing the kind of songs heard when we were locking up the Japanese all those years ago. I think even those party hacks would still admit that was wrong, but these days I guess we need Orange Hitler’s strong, authoritative leadership as directed by Pooty-poot.
That pee tape REALLY must be something!!!

I simply don’t want to hear about the asshole anymore unless he has quit, died, or been impeached. People are stupid, and democracy is dead, for now anyway.

This is worth a read if you haven’t read it already. It is written in plain English, and doesn’t rely on jargon or acronyms. I would bet dumpster didn’t read it before the meeting.

Sorry, I attached the February indictment, although it is worth reading. Here is the July 13 indictment.

You wonder why he hasn’t really been too anti-abortion. Think of the press conference. I have the most powerful sperm off any president. My sperm swim faster than anyone in the history of the world. My sperm is too potent and viral.
Excuse me Mr.President with all your affairs and your most potent of all time sperm how many abortions have you paid for?
He’s amazes me with the line of bullshit daily.
And yes people are stoopid.

And we know stupid when we see it, and we see it every time we shave. This is one of the many reasons why I wear a beard. How’s the running game up in the fiery north?
July 19, 2018 at 9:37 pm |
The running game is the greatest. I’m running faster and further than any other running store person in history. Let me tell you.
I’ve actually been on the mtb more than running. It’s been too freaking hot and windless to run anytime other than 5:17am. And that’s about the time I shave.
