End to shutdown

“This was in no way a concession”.

Talk about being completely delusional. Govt opened (win for Nancy), ZERO money for wall (not a concession for Dotard, no way). But okay, Kellyanne tells me that Nancy privately promised him $ 10 as the down payment he had demanded. And if he doesn’t build that wall, he could use it to buy a toy for Barron. What, you say, a billionaire doesn’t need $ 10 to buy a toy for his son. Well, this one once made an effort to get $8 for his other son, so $ 10 is a win, 25% more than last time. So tired of winning.....

So tired of winning......that is what Nancy will probably be saying over the next 2 years.

Turtle McConnell’s most famous phrase, repeated many times, is “there’s no learning in the second kick of a mule”. Assuming he really believes that, presumably there is absolutely no learning in the third kick, which is why I doubt there will be another shutdown after 3 weeks. While there will be no wall, there will be money for paint for some existing fencing, so Dotard can stand in front of it and hail his new wall, and all FoxPravda viewers can cheer.

The Marie Antoinette cabinet did make it harder for the GOP to hold on. Utterly clueless statements from billionaire Ross (why food banks, why not loans?), Hassett, Kudlow and from daughter-in-law Lara Trump could have soon led to the guillotine being brought out. Pelosi  had the best answer to Ross, hitting 2 birds with one stone - they cannot just call their brokers to sell some shares or call their dad for more money. Brilliant!

So Dotard caved. Now, in addition to Individual 1, we also have Cave Man. No wall, only a cave.

Trump Toilets Inc.

(If you like this, read other posts on my blog. Or follow my blog to get updates when I post something new. Its free 😀) So the world’s most powerful man has now turned his attention to something that apparently urgently needs his intervention. Did you think it was Russia policy, or North Korea  policy, or social security, or health care? Not at all - but something far more important than that in this age - Toilets. Yes, toilets. That’s not a joke. The President of the United States, the Chosen One, Blessed be His Name, spent 15 minutes raging on about toilets, and how because of regulations, people need to flush 10-15 times. Well, he should know. With all the shxt that comes out of his mouth, I wonder if even 10-15 times is enough to flush it down. So away with those useless Obama toilets and let’s have real Trump Toilets - “I know more about Toilets than anybody - nobody can make Toilets as good as I can”. Maybe he’s already thinking about his next business opportunity. But afte

GQP Gun violence "solutions "

  Here is a partial list of “solutions” proposed by GQP Senators and reps, Fox News pundits, and other rightwing, soulless axxholes yesterday, each followed by my comments in brackets. - Give children bullet-proof backpacks. 1 Senator even suggested parents should buy children those instead of toys.  (They don’t wear backpacks in school. How about full bulletproof clothing? Why not give them full body armour? Heck, after your abortion laws have passed, make baby body armour compulsory - straight from the womb to safety). - why can’t we have security like at airports - with full body and backpack screening? (Well, the US has around 5000 airports, and about 150000 schools. They can’t even find enough miserably paid TSA personnel for the airports - good luck for the schools. Of course, since red states are banning books, and firing teachers who dare to mention black or gay people, maybe that money saved can be used to finance those scanners and the people to man them) - From Dan Patrick a

Understanding Talibangelicals

  In his big NBC interview shown yesterday, Dotard said it was a “big mistake” for DeathSantis to sign a 6 week abortion ban. Immediately, numerous pundits speculated that this could cause him to lose a lot of support in Iowa, the first-in-the-nation voters, where evangelicals dominate. And I thought - when will these guys learn? To use a formulation from an interview Jon Stewart did with one of them some months ago, the Talibangelicals don’t give a “flying fvck” about supposedly religious teaching - it’s all about power. To learn from the Brothers Karamazov again, if Jesus came back to earth tomorrow and criticized the Dotard, the Talibangelicals and the MAGA crowd would crucify him without a second thought. When you love and worship a rapist and pornstarfvcker, no other religious norms are going to stop you. ——————- To be very clear, this is true of ALL rulers who rely on religion to keep them in power - whether it’s Putin and Orban defending White Christianity, the Taliban in Afghan
