It’s late and my computer has already gone to bed, but the New York Times is breaking a damn big story.

Have fun!

The alleged President Elect, Donald Trump, had a doozy last night while speaking at the Pence dinner. Has anybody noticed that he’s starting to speak in Twitter phrases?

First of all, his speech was a series of stabs at everyone he thinks doesn’t give him proper respect, including Pence.

Mr. Trump lauded Mr. Pence in a roughly 25-minute speech, but poked at him for declining to endorse his candidacy in the primary in Indiana, where he was governor, instead backing Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. “The fact that every donor he had was in favor of” Mr. Cruz played no role in the decision, Mr. Trump said sarcastically, according to a recording provided by a guest.

But my personal favorite was his contention that he’s head of a “movement.”

“There hasn’t been anything like this since Andrew Jackson,” Mr. Trump quoted his admirers saying. “Andrew Jackson? What year was Andrew Jackson? That was a long time ago.”

Yes, he finally remembered the date but what I think he forgot is that Jackson gets the blame for the Panic of 1837, which lead to a four year recession.

He also forgot that Jackson is considered the founder of the Democratic Party.

Private school education, what can I say?

Please see this quote from Mitch McConnell, complaining that Democrats aren’t rubber stamping Trump’s nominees.

Well well, cowboy, you sat on a Supreme Court appointment for a damn year.

So, out of 19 nominees, three of them are minorities – Elaine Chou, Nikki Haley, and Ben Carson. Whoop-de-damn-doo.  And 4 of them are hooter-toters, but two of those are also part of the three minorities.

The way I figure it, there are 15 white males that need sitting on and Betsy DeVos hardly counts a human, much less a woman.

Thanks to Don A for the heads up.

This morning’s work product:

Snowflake are what they call you and me, which is terribly ironic considering they are the white ones. And obviously, Snowflake is both the single and plural form of this word.

Obama let a trader go.  Of course he did. Trading is not illegal.

By the way, Tomi Lahren is a young Ann Coulter with a screeching voice who has a webcast on The Blaze.

Okay, I’m pretty damn certain that you already know that Rick Perry thought he was going to be a “global ambassador for the oil and gas industry,” which he also thought included a sash and a small but tasteful and exquisite tiara.

The damn fool did not know what the Department of Energy does. And that is only one of the long and continuing list of things Rick Perry does not know.

Two-thirds of the agency’s annual $30 billion budget is devoted to maintaining, refurbishing and keeping safe the nation’s nuclear stockpile; thwarting nuclear proliferation; cleaning up and rebuilding an aging constellation of nuclear production facilities; and overseeing national laboratories that are considered the crown jewels of government science.

Government science? Honey, Rick Perry doesn’t believe in either one of those things.

And if the thought of Rick Perry overseeing our nuclear stockpile doesn’t cause sweat to break out on your neck so heavy that it rolls down your back and forms little sweat bead things on your butt, then you don’t understand nuclear. Hell, Rick Perry can’t even pronounce nuclear.

But I am certain this job doesn’t require much brain matter so Ole Rick will be fine.  It’s not like he’s stepping into big boots or anything.

If approved by the Senate, he will take over from Ernest J. Moniz, who was chairman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics department and directed the linear accelerator at MIT’s Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Before Moniz, the job belonged to Steven Chu, a physicist who won a Nobel Prize.

Hell’s Bells, give Rick one of those Physics Made Real Easy books and he’ll be up to speed in a couple of hours.

Y’all, I’m gonna enjoy this hearing so much.
