This is how bad it is.  Trump will lie about stuff that doesn’t matter worth the spit on a postage stamp.

Trump told The New York Times early Monday that D.C. shops have been selling out of gowns, with big numbers expected at the inaugural festivities — in particular, celebrities.

Okay, let me say something here. “Celebrities” do not buy their gowns in Washington, DeeCee.  I myself, just a minor celebrity, have been to inaugurations and I bought my gown in my hometown.  I suspect celebrities do the same thing.

But, it’s sillier than that.

People Magazine, who are the recognized expert in these areas, called a few dress shops in DeeCee.

“No, we’re not sold out,” Mae Shipe, owner of the D.C. Mae’s Dress Boutique, told PEOPLE. “We have 200 dresses, if not more, in stock.”

Not only, it seems, are dresses in stock, but people aren’t flocking to the stores to pick them up, either.

“We have not gotten a huge influx of traffic specifically related to shopping for inaugural dresses,” Anastasia Thomas, an employee at Betsy Fisher, a D.C. women’s wear shop, said.

In fact, Peter Marx, owner of Saks Jandel, a D.C. area boutique, told PEOPLE that there have been fewer people seeking inaugural gowns.

“There’s never been less demand for inaugural ballgowns in my 38 years,” Marx told PEOPLE.

Give it up, Donald.  No celebrities are coming to your inauguration.  Hell, you’ve got Kid Rock, Gary Busey, the Duck dudes, and two members of the Rockettes. Enjoy!

Well, you’ve heard that alleged president elect Trump’s nominee for senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, Monica Crowley, plagiarized large portion of her book.

Well, come to find out, she also plagiarized large portions of her PhD dissertation.

But making money off other people’s work is what the 1% does.

Despite the news, the Trump team continues to support the appointment. “Any attempt to discredit Monica is nothing more than a politically motivated attack that seeks to distract from the real issues facing this country,” a transition spokesperson told CNN. The transition team did not reply to requests for comment for this story.

Her appointment to the National Security Council does not require Senate confirmation, but simply the nod of approval from Melania Trump.

Okay, there is something wrong with Sessions.  I’m watching Dick Durbin question him.  He blinks once a second for about 10 seconds, then he doesn’t blink at all the next 20 seconds.  It’s weird.

Sessions is running away from his record faster than a bullet with legs.  He says, “The AG just enforces the laws so how I voted doesn’t matter.”

Now I’m watching John Cornyn kiss Sessions butt.

Who else is watching?

1:05 Texas Time – Ted Cruz is using his entire time to give speech bashing Democrats for the past 8 years and the Democrats on the committee.  The good part: no way in hell they’ll put him on the Supreme Court now.  He’s dripping in sarcasm.

Schumer sent McConnell’s 2009 letter back to him, reversing sending and receiving parties.  LOL.

So Kellyanne Goebels says that we should not listen to what comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth, but instead should listen to his heart.

You mean the th-thug, th-thug, th-thug of ice cold gold running through his veins?

Talking about Trump imitating a disabled man, Kellyanne explained …

“You have to listen to what the president-elect has said about that. Why don’t you believe him? Why is everything taken at face value?” she asked anchor Chris Cuomo. “You can’t give him the benefit of the doubt on this and he’s telling you what was in his heart? You always want to go by what’s come out of his mouth rather than look at what’s in his heart.”

Ya know, Kellyanne, if Trump will take out his heart and lay it on the table, I would be glad to look at it.  Meanwhile, words are all he’s got.

Personally, I don’t think he has a heart.  I think he’s totally powered by solar ego – he thinks he’s the center of the solar system.

I’ve always had a problem with the term unborn.  Would that make me undead?

Anyway, as you have heard the Great State of Texas wants to require women who have miscarriages or abortions to either bury or cremate the fetal material.  District Judge Sam Sparks temporarily blocked this last month saying that it may violate a woman’s constitutional rights.

The Supreme Court standard on abortions is that when a rule creates an undue burden on women or when the burdens of the rule outweigh the benefits, then it’s unconstitutional.  So, Sparks is holding hearings where both sides can present their case.

On our side: the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Texas believes that the rule will add about $2,000 to the cost of an abortion.

On their side: well, we didn’t mean actual burial.

The State of Texas says they meant a mass burial at $2 per fetus.

The mass grave appears to be the Department of State Health Services’ attempt to work around this problem. In court, Sims alleged that bulk burial would bring the cost down to $2 per buried fetus. This discount would remove the burden created by the rule, rendering it constitutional.

Bulk burial? Well, I’ll be damn. Ain’t that just real dignified?

Good God, Texas, you have no class whatsodamnever.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
