Impeach the Impeachers

October 28, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Republicans just love to impeach. Democrats truly don’t mind when they do it because it appears that impeachment makes Democrats more popular than a popsicle in the desert.

Okay, so the latest is that they want to impeach the head of the IRS.

House Republicans filed papers Tuesday to begin impeachment proceedings against IRS Commissioner John Koskinen over the agency’s alleged campaign to revoke the tax-exempt status of tea party-affiliated groups.

Hmmmmm …. that cannot be because that didn’t happen.  Besides, the current head of the IRS, John Koskinen, didn’t even work at the IRS when this happened, well didn’t happen is a better term.

But Republicans still want to impeach.

To be sure, this doesn’t come completely out of the blue. The New York Times reported last week that Republicans were considering this move, though the report added that “the specifics of any supposed impeachable offenses are vague.”

Vague? No, not vague. Nonexistent. Nonexistent is not vague at all.

God bless Rep. Elijah Cummings, y’all.

“This ridiculous resolution will demonstrate nothing but the Republican obsession with diving into investigative rabbit holes that waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars while having absolutely no positive impact on a single American. Calling this resolution a ‘stunt’ or a ‘joke’ would be insulting to stunts and jokes.”

Anybody who wonders what the GOP has clowns running for president just ain’t awake.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Hello, Arizona

In Arizona, unlike Texas, you register to vote by party.  That’s the primary you vote in.

So, if you registered as an independent, like most Tea Partiers do, you cannot vote in the Republican primary.

Well, the rightwing Republican Arizona GOP is doing a heads-up.  They sent postcards to the people registered as independents.  And through the miracle of modern big time journalism, we just happen to have a copy.

So brothers and sister, you can count on the Republican primary on March 22 in Arizona to be a genuine DoofusFest Wackopolooza!

Thanks to Bunny for the heads up and all the trouble she went to to get these to me a form you can see.

Oh Sarah, How We’ve Miss You

Sarah Palin has taken to writing her own fundraising letters.  Check this one out. (Click the little one to get the big one.)

Commas are still a mystery to her.  As are apostrophes.  And syntax.

You know, I can hardly be one to complain about typos and misspellings. That’s why I have an editor for my paying jobs.

Interesting to note:  95% of the money that she raises through SarahPAC goes to operating her PAC (Sarah’s personal speechwriters, travel, and lawyers) and only 3% goes to helping other Republicans get elected.

So This is Where We’re At? This? This is Good? This?

Read that again.  This isn’t The Onion. This is MSNBC.

So they’ve turned from GI Joe to Bruce Lee?  That’s an improvement?

“The Anderson [California] Police Department is implementing the police nunchaku as a tool to more effectively arrest, control, and subdue non-compliant suspects,” Chief Michael Johnson told NBC News. “The nunchaku can be deployed to more compassionately gain compliance from a suspect through pain application opposed to striking, as customary with the side-handled or straight baton.” (Bolding mine.  All mine. All insanely mine!)

Okay, I get the idea that “pain application” is more compassionate than “death application”.  I get that.  But not by much.  I think we might need to check the definition of compassionate to see if it includes nunchucks.  Nunchucks are not a yoga pose, you know.

Police!  Settle down!

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

 

Love Ya, Trey Gowdy!

October 27, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Trey Gowdy did the Democrats a major favor, not only giving Hillary Clinton one free 11 hour commercial, but also by showing what ignorant thugs Republicans are.

I suspect that’s the “new thing” he learned during Hillary’s testimony.

Screen Shot 2015-10-27 at 11.06.50 AMDuring an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Chuck Todd asked Gowdy about his comment last week on Fox News that a private interview with Clinton may have gone better.

“It was a voluntary interview, and she wanted it to be in public. I wrote a letter several months ago giving her an option. And she chose public. And that’s well within her right,” Gowdy said in response.

Of course she wanted it in public, you damn fool. In private, you would have waterboarded her, slapped her around a little, and had a naked light bulb hanging from the ceiling. You would have slapped her silly and then told God and the news media that she fell down. Nobody wants to do anything in private with you, Trey.

Honey, she kicked your butt so hard that you can taste sensible shoes leather in your mouth. That needs to be public.

Ya know, being a beautician I have a real hard time not snorting coffee out of my nose every time he gets a new hairdo.  Personally, I think that’s the real thing she wanted seen in public.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

And As The Benghazi Investigation Committee Fizzles …

October 27, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Republicans have a bright idea and Tom DeLay is running it up the flagpole for them.

Tom, whose website is still begging for money for his “legal defense fund,” has taken to being the Tester Boy for the GOP. He tests the water for Republican ideas by saying outrageous things and then waits to see if anybody yells back Polo to his Marco.

The latest?  We need another investigatory committee in Congress. Can I get a Hell, Yes?

delaycigarFormer House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told Newsmax TV on Friday that if President Barack Obama implemented a plan to require background checks on some gun sales by executive order and without congressional approval, the House should consider impeachment proceedings.

DeLay calls it “a healthy thing” for the House Judiciary committee to hold an investigation.  That’s odd coming from a man who is a democracy hypochondriac.

Hey, guys, I am totally for this. House Republicans really do need to impeach another President. You know, it worked so well the last time they did it.  I mean you have Congressman Mo Brooks wanting to impeach Hillary the day she’s sworn in, and Tom DeLay wanting to impeach Obama for something he hasn’t even done yet. We could have duel impeachment hearings! In stereo!

By the way, I missed this but last summer the City of Sugar Land, Texas, named the control tower of their airport after Tom DeLay. I tell you, he’s running again.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
