Billy L. Nabors Demolition in North Texas has a slogan:  We Could Wreck the World.

And they pretty much set out to prove it.

A demolition company mistakenly tore down the wrong tornado-damaged duplex in Rowlett, leaving the two homeowners shocked and frantic, according to KVUE and WFAA.

Lindsay Diaz and Alan Cutter own both sides of the duplex and were waiting on insurance and possible FEMA individual assistance declaration to decide on repairs at 7601 and 7603 Calypso Drive after December tornadoes left damage in the Dallas area.

Yeah, Billy and Company tore down the wrong house.  Billy is blaming it on a mistake with Google Maps, but people have serious doubts that Billy can read a map, hence he’s wrecking the world.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

This story is from Georgia and he did say, “Hold my beer and watch this,” before he loaded his lawn mower with tannerite and then shot the damn thing, so nobody can say they weren’t warned.

This country has the authority to take unsafe toys for children off the shelves.  The same should hold true for any man in Georgia.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Go Sign It

March 24, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

You ain’t got anything else better to do.

Go sign this petition to allow guns at the Republican National Convention because we want the Republicans to be safe.

I mean, what could go wrong?

 

Tomorrow is Good Friday. Make Them Shut Up.

Can we make Donald Trump and Ted Cruz shuddup about each other’s wives?

Since they are all such good Christians, can they just get a hotel room and read scripture to each other on Good Friday?

Y’all keep sending me emails with the subject line “Have you seen this?”  No.  No, I have not.  Don’t show me.  I do not want to know.  (Okay, I was kidding about that part.  Please send them.)

Just make them take a rest over the holidays.

The Jenga Tower of Trump

March 24, 2016 By: Primo Encarnación Category: Uncategorized

One of the recent joys of my life is to witness the self-inflicted snacilbupeR meltdown. Whether this is a full-blown suicide remains to be seen, but it will cost them the whole entire 2016 election, perhaps even the House. Right now, there is no scenario I can see where they win the Presidency, or maintain their current leads in the House and Senate, barring some disaster.

This has been a long time coming. Since Nixon, but most especially since the first Clinton Presidency, the GOP has been building a brand based on lying about the efficacy of their own programs, making up and then investigating Democratic “scandals” and finally by denying reality itself across the full economic, scientific and geopolitical spectrum of human endeavor.

This is why they cannot run candidates on the real issues, and why their current infestation of candidates cannot offer full and robust policies about ANYthing. Any. Thing. Not a-one. Because a full and fair hearing of GOP policies versus Democratic policies at any point over the last 30 years would have been disastrous for them, but wonderful for the rest of humanity.

Instead, they have used a friendly Supreme Court to gerrymander Congress and the statehouses, to suppress minority voting, to pump up the amount of cash they can receive from their shrinking base of support, and to outright STEAL the Presidency in 2000 and 2004. They can’t win in a fair fight. So they reduce the efficacy of voting, lie constantly about themselves and their accomplishments, and falsely denigrate and dehumanize their opponents.

They are not in it alone, however; they have been aided by compliant media, or abetted by complicit media, including FOX’s outright pandering as the party organ, as well as numerous purveyors of online bullshit like Breitbart.

They also have come to the pathological conclusion that they can NEVER admit to having been wrong (i.e. LIED) about ANYTHING. Because once you admit that, on just one issue, their entire legend comes apart.   It’s a giant Jenga game: the whole rotting edifice would come a-tumblin’ down  if just one of their foundational myths were shown to be the cynical electoral ploy it was at the time it was woven out of whole cloth.

The Trump candidacy is merely the last 50 years of Republican political lying on STEROIDS! They did, indeed, build this. He was able to slap his brand on it because he knew these people would believe ANYTHING, like America is a loser, led by losers, voted in by losers. (He’s only half right.) The surest way, then, to save their party is to come clean, come back to the real world, and admit and debunk all the lies their lying liars have been spewing.

Otherwise, they will continue to suffer the ultimate humiliation at the hands of a credulous base that they’ve been deluding for decades and who really DO believe that Obama is a Muslim, climate change is fake, and Donald Trump is Presidential.

JENGA!
