Thanks, Republicans for your great leadership.  Shutting down Lite-Up Texas, which helped poor Texans keep the lights and heat on was a GREAT idea, right?

As anyone with common sense would know, incoming, uh…urp, president Cheeto Jesus is going to suck (sorry momma) at governing.  To reward his benefactor, Vladimir Putin, CJ has picked his first major twitter battle with the intelligence community, refusing to believe the mountain of evidence that the Russians did indeed hack into DNC and other computers in an effort to sway our national elections. Now that the CIA and other agencies have refused to change their assessment, CJ is now threatening to undo the Director of National Security that was put in place after 9/11 to coordinate the nation’s multiple intelligence agencies.

Apparently CJ has confused his role as Chief Tyrant at Celebrity Apprentice with his role as incoming, uh…urp, president.

Guys, I am out of town babysitting my three year old grand baby this week.  I can only post during nap time or after his parents get home.  He’s a handful.

However, do not miss this.

Indivisible.

You heard about it on Rachel Maddow.

Jump on it!

McConnell today:

Dead.  Dead.  He killed it with a sledge hammer and a low IQ.

Thanks to Mike for the heads up.

Well, here ya go —

Yeah, they are so up on their high horse that nosebleeds are a major problem.

The bill’s sponsor says,

“This is my belief: there are two viable beings involved,” he said. “One had a choice early on to make a decision to conceive or not. Once conception starts, another life is involved, and the legislature has the ability to determine how that life proceeds.”

Yeah, I don’t understand it either.

My friend Deb suggests that we need to get State Legislatures a Fit Bit that tracks how many times you’re hurting women.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

What a damn mess in Arkansas.  It seems that some Republican members of the State House and the State Senate conspired to dump a ton of money on rightwing Christian colleges in the state.  For about $600,000 of taxpayer money to tiny Ecclesia College in Springdale, Arkansas, the Republican politicians got about $38,000 each in kickbacks.

On the Board of Ecclesia college is David Barton, key advisor to Donald Trump, and major contributor to Louie Gohmert. There is even a David Barton School of Political Science at the college.  Bribery 101 is a required course.

The Republican House Member, Micah Neal, pled guilty today and faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

He has taken to Twitter instead of speaking to the press.

Yeah, he took a bribe but it did it in a very Christian way.

Expect Republican State Senator Jon Woods to be indicted tomorrow.  He describes himself as “a Christian Conservative.”

Man, I hate to think what the Republican heathens are doing in Arkansas is this is how their Christians act.

Asked about the news at a session with reporters Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Asa Hutchinson called it “troubling.”

Ya think?

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
