Democrats have a sense of humor.

When the head of Latinos for Trump warned of “taco truck on every corner,” which he mistakenly thought would be a bad thing, Democrats kicked into gear.

The US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is going to use “a taco trucks on every corner” to fuel a voter registration campaign.

Named Guac the Vote, the organization is working with more than 200 chambers of commerce and business associations to make taco trucks a one-stop shop. On top of providing the public with delicious tacos, USHCC hopes they’ll double as voter registration centers. With registration deadlines quickly approaching for many states, USHCC wants to get the ball rolling soon.

Guac the Vote, y’all.  All they need is a Donald Trump piñata at every truck and a baloney taco.

I love yew, Uhmerica.

So, two women go into a karaoke bar in Fresno, California. They were looking forward to a well-earned night of fun. Until ….

“But before our song was called, a bar employee came up and said we had to buy drinks to sing karaoke. Another bartender lunged at us within inches of our faces and shouted ‘Buy drinks!’”

They had drinks.  They apparently weren’t buying them fast enough.  They also noticed that none of the there customers were being forced to buy drinks.

Oh, did I mention …

… that they were the only non-whites in the bar?

They refused to leave so the cops were called.

Conner said that once cops arrived, other customers rallied to their defense, saying the allegedly racist rule didn’t exist on other nights. She said patrons also tried ordering drinks for the attorneys so the bartenders would let them stay, but The Brig still allegedly refused the women service.

Oh wait, did I mention ….

… that both of them work for the ACLU?

Thanks to Pam for the heads up.

Trump supporters are mostly racists who openly boast about being racists.  That’s what separates them from Libertarians.  Libertarians are racists who don’t talk about it openly.

Libertarianism is social Darwinism splashed with adolescent crushes on Ayn Rand.

Goofy old Ron Paul has been replaced by former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, who is proudly carrying on the Goofy Banner.

This morning on MSNBC he was asked about the situation in Aleppo.

“What is Aleppo?” Mr. Johnson said when asked on MSNBC how, as president, he would address the refugee crisis in the Syrian city that is a stronghold of the Islamic State.

When pressed as to whether he was serious, Mr. Johnson indicated that he really was not aware of the city, which has been widely covered during the years that Syria has been engulfed in civil war. After Mike Barnicle, an MSNBC commentator who is often part of the “Morning Joe” program panel, explained that Aleppo was the center of Syria’s refugee crisis, Mr. Johnson struggled to recover.

After calling a friend for a clue, his final answer was that we should “partner with Russia to diplomatically improve the situation there.”

If Johnson is truly a libertarian, how knows he’s fixing to get walloped by the free market forces.

I am ready to put something on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that even Ajax won’t take off.

The courts have said that a voter in Texas should not have to have two IDs, a set of fingerprints, and their mother to swear to their birth in order to vote.  And they also said that Texas has to inform and educate voters of the “relaxed ID laws.”

Holy crap.  Look at this.

The federal government is accusing Texas of circulating “inaccurate or misleading information” to poll workers and would-be voters about relaxed identification requirements for the November elections.

Oh wait, Texas would try to mislead voters?  Would a one legged duck swim in a circle?  Would a 50 pound sack of flour make a big biscuit?

Oh hell, yeah.

U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos ruled last month that Texas has to spend $2.5 million to re-educate the public about the new voting standards.  Our Governor and Attorney General argue that they don’t have to tell us how they’re going to spend that money.  Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t trust Bevis and Butthead to know how to effectively communicate in any minority community.

Then, to add stupid to bean dip dumb, they lie in the educational materials.  The tougher restrictions on voter ID is called. Senate Bill 14.

Ramos ordered Texas to educate voters about “the opportunity for voters who do not possess SB 14 ID and cannot reasonably obtain it to cast a regular ballot.”

But, Texas changes the language in the educational program to strip the word “reasonably” from the order.  Honey, dammit, both Abbott and Paxton are lawyers and they knew exactly what they were doing.

“That standard is incorrect and far harsher than the Court-ordered standard it would displace,” the Justices Department argues. “By recasting the Court’s language, Texas has narrowed dramatically the scope of voters protected by the Court’s Order.”

Texas refuses to change the language, the filing states, and the state officials believe they are following the court order.

They are damned and determined to keep people from voting in Texas.

There’s a hearing on Monday.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

The little boy in my life loves, loves, loves Peppa Pig.  For some damn reason every Peppa sleeping bag for sell is decidedly feminine.  So I found some Peppa fabric featuring George and Grandpa Pig and dusted off my sewing machine.  Priorities.

Use this open thread to discuss the Commander-in-Chief forum upcoming tonight.  And whatever the dickens else is bothering you.
