Here’s my story:

And I’m sticking to it.

No matter what they say.

Or do.

It’s gonna be the best week ever!

Republican “Hungry for Power Games”

His last line:  I know I am not supposed to be up here but neither is Donald Trump.

That’s entertainment.  I can’t wait for Chachi’s foreign policy speech.

Well, lookie here ….

Okay, there’s guys, there’s women, there’s white people … oh.  Oh dear.

Obvious reasons?  Apparently not so obvious to them.  After all, they put it up.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

It is the honest to goodness truth and a verifiable scientific fact that the theme song played for Trump’s announcement of Mike Pence as his running mate was the Rolling Stones “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

Yeah, well, you can bet that wasn’t done by mistake.

“And one of the reasons is party unity, so many people have said, party unity. Because I’m an outsider,” he added in explaining his decision.

And by party unity he means “the Koch Brothers have a lot of money and I don’t.”

That’s certainly exciting.  Party unity.  Not that Pence would be a great President or that he’s a leader, but that the Republican Party trumps good government.  (See what I did there?)

My favorite meme of the team —

Not even counting the piano man, I love the way that Pence is looking at Trump’s stubby little fingers.

We have a local newspaper in my small town.  It’s a small daily and it’s nice to have when your kid wins an award or something.  This is not the first time they have caught my attention.

Before I begin, I will let you know that their masthead is totally male and totally white.  Look, I don’t have anything against white males.  I married one and gave birth to three of them.  White males are not evil within themselves.  Okay, some of them are. Some of them even think they are successful because their grandpa made lots of money and that makes them smart.

For a while now, they have been Donald Trump’s major ego suppliers.  They love him.  They would married him if that didn’t mean they’d be, you know, gay.

So, the morning after Trump announces Pence, they are on it like white on rice.  I’m gonna reprint it here and if they want to sue me, go ahead.  There isn’t a jury in the whole damn state that would not think that the .75 they charge daily for the online version of their newspaper isn’t the same fair price as picture show popcorn.

If that’s too small for you to read, the big copy is here.

They say Pence is cool-headed.  They also say that Pence is “in some ways a little Reaganesque.” I do not know where these boys were during the Reagan administration, but wherever they were, they were drunk.  Additionally, I would argue that his head is not cool, it is merely vacant.

The one thing they did get right is that the Koch Brothers love, love, love Pence.

You know, it’s real nice that they think Trump needs a counter-balance.  I agree, but, Honey, he couldn’t balance even if you mounted him on a tripod.

Newt Gingrich, in a last ditch effort to be veep, said that all Muslims in the United States of damn America “should be tested?”

For what?

The Zika virus?

Doneness?

Which Game of Thrones character are you on Facebook?

Spelling?

The SAT?

Test of the emergency broadcast system?

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
