Apparently Ivanka Trump is running for CEO of The White House Fashion Fashion Boutique.

Yeah, it’s at Macy’s for $138. and I’d be willing to bet that it’s made in China.

I’m at a ballgame.  You probably aren’t, so you might be interested in the fact that after they took away her speaking rights, Debbie Wassemann Schultz has resigned as chairman of the DNC.

How about Elizabeth Warren as the head of the DNC?

We were driving to Austin yesterday and right outside of east Austin is a place where folks set up shop to sell their peaches, watermelons, pecans, yard art, and flags to passing motorists.

I saw this this and made Ole Bubba turn around and go back so I could get a picture.

You might have to open this photo in a new tab to see it in its fully glory gory.

The side facing the road is 90% confederate flags.  Maybe one or two American flags, a Texas flag or two, and some Come and Get It banners.  And there proudly is the Donald J Trump roadside headquarters.  See the flag on the far right.  Yeah, far, far right.

This isn’t a run for the presidency – it’s a redneck self-help program.  Donald J Trump is gonna fix their lives.  Their wives will quit running around with the bartender over at the icehouse and come home to do the dishes and start cooking like a normal woman should.  Their bosses will quit complaining about them showing up for work hung over.  Donald J Trump will send a Mexican over to do their yard work for free.  He’ll make taxes a thing of the past and bail bonds will be totally free under a Trump administration.  The nasty guy at MasterCard will quit calling for payment and happily extend their credit because … well, they are white.  They will automatically be given a complimentary two ton Chevy truck every three years as their birthright.

Under a Donald J Trump presidency, political correctness is over and it becomes okay to make fun of retards, queers, ugly people, and people born with no legs.  However, small fingers will never be okay to mention.

You know how Trump taunts his enemies?  He will also do that for you.  He will come to your house and call your mother-in-law a loser.

Every day under a King Donald J Trump will be like a six hour erection and no emergency rooms.

Well, it’s Evening in America, and only Hair Drumpf can save us, according to Hair Drumpf. His speech last night, as we all know, tripled down on hatred, xenophobia, nationalism, and all other kind of mean, nasty, ugly things. Dark times, dark people, dark thoughts…  It’s as if Willie Horton has been cloned in a variety of shades of notWhite, and been sent forth armed with bazookas and howitzers.  Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!

At a record-breaking length for an acceptance speech, Trump also set the bar for the longest time a Presidential nominee has spent spewing lies and listing false problems. This is a time-honored technique for Republicans: just look at the non-existent scourge of fraudulent in-person voting, which led to the real fraud: voter ID laws which disproportionately disfranchise the poor, the elderly, and minorities. And then the GOP with the “who, me?” looks avow that was NEVER the intent, until one of them slips up and admits that well, yeah, that was the intent.

So the Industrial Grievance Complex is not a new schtick for the folks who put the “Con” in “CONservative.”

But Trump is so far beyond the pale, that he has eschewed even dog whistles, and has essentially flat out said, “Only I, by virtue of the strength of my iron will, can raise us up from the weakened, downtrodden state of our nation and overcome the Others who are lurking to stab us in the back, just waiting to make us all speak Farsi-inflected Spanish.”

Just don’t ask him for details.

So clear was the message, that the country’s most famous Klansman, David Duke, whom the Donald had never heard of before, except for all those times he’s mentioned him, applauded the speech. “Couldn’t have said it better,” said the former Grand Wizard, who is now so fabulously inspired that he wants to join Hair Drumpf in Washington as the freshmen Senator for Louisiana.

So I’ve cobbled together something else the Klueless Klutz Klan – aka the Family von Drumpf – can now plagiarize:

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furor

Jon’s back  ….

Enjoy!e

Okay, I have company.  Use this thread to talk about the convention.
