Oh yeah, That’s exactly what this country needs – Jeff Sessions as Vice President.

Hovering around the process is Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), another early Trump backer who is a central force in the campaign and is said to be ready to serve as Trump’s running mate if asked.

I’d like to remind folks that Sessions might not be the one to help with racial tension in America.

In response to a question from Joe Biden on whether he had called the NAACP and other civil rights organizations “un-American”, Sessions replied “I’m often loose with my tongue. I may have said something about the NAACP being un-American or Communist, but I meant no harm by it.”

I mean no harm by it.  Stunning.

Y’all, I am watching the House Judiciary Committee questioning Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

I want to tell you that Darryl Issa is just a shiver looking for a spine to run up.  I am pretty much cynical about Republicans but his insistence that Hillary Clinton is a tool of the devil is stunning.  He literally asked about other people who have been prosecuted for perjury, “What are we going to tell the Marines?”  What the hell? Why just the Marines?  And why did he leave out “the children”?

What?  No Benghazi questions?

One of the Republicans spent his time talking about Monica Lewinsky.  It truly seemed to me that he just wanted to be able to talk dirty on national teevee.

I hate these people.  Lord help me, I do.

Under the category of “You don’t have to tell me twice,” is this little ditty.

They aren’t kidding.

Their idea of a fun time?

No.  Nope.  Not me. Not in this lifetime.

Word has it that Trump has narrowed down his Veep list to Mike Pence, Chris Christy, and a general yet to be named.

So a governor from Indiana or New Jersey?  Why would they do it?

Why does Pence want to be Trump’s #2? The hard truth is that he’s not too popular in the Hoosier State, and he could very possibly lose reelection to a second term as governor of Indiana this November, which would end his political career. Joining Trump would let him get out of that pickle. His advisers tell National Review’s Eliana Johnson that they think even being on a losing ticket with Trump would position Pence as a top prospect in either 2020 or 2024.

So Pence thinks losing with Trump will help him get elected President later on?  They do know that as Trump’s veep candidate, all he’s leaving with is Trump’s pee on his head?

Hell, by late September, Trump will be bad-mouthing his own veep candidate.

Ya gotta say one thing about Ole Louie, he’s consistent.  At least with his barbeque.

Oh hell yeah, it’s that special time when we get to see how conservative Louie is with other people’s money.

Yeah, you can see it all right here.

One of my personal favorites is the April 12th Terranea Resort in California on the coast.  Such a bargain for $1246.38!  Maybe he took the caviar class to “education his palate.”

Lord knows he can use all the education he can get.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

It is a rare day when I have anything nice to say about Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Today, my friends, is indeed a rare day.

Governor Abbott received second and third degree scald burns on his legs while vacationing in Jackson Hole.  The events in Dallas were unfolding while the Governor was on the way to the hospital.  He had his burns treated and then immediately returned to Texas where he made a very healing statement about the events, in stark contrast to his Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick.

I, for one, appreciate the Governor coming home and taking the reins of government away from a goofy man.  I deeply appreciate his calm, rational and kind statements about the event and putting his own personal pain on a back burner.

They are now saying that his burns may keep him away from the Republican National Convention.  I think that’s probably wise – he’s suffered enough.

By the way, if you want to go somewhere to be completed away from Republicans for a while, I hear that Cleveland, Ohio, July 18 – 21 is a good place to go.
