The reality media Washington Post played with some numbers and came up with a pretty good guesstimate of how Donald Trump spent his first month in office.

He spent 13 hours tweeting and 6 hours with intelligence briefings.  He spent 25 hours golfing and 21 hours on foreign relations.

The Post can’t venture a guess on how many hours Trumps spends watching teevee, but it’s gotta be a whole damn lot.

By the way, the Trump team has been caught twice fibbing about how long he’s on the golf course.

On the other hand, the fact that he doesn’t send much time presidenting might be the good news.

So now that Twitter has become the official spokesperson for the United States of America, people who would like to create a fake Twitter account and not get caught, have been given detailed instructions.

Just click right here and get started.  With a small investment of money, a larger investment of time and God only knows how many grudges, you, too, can be a Twitter fake news generator.

Not that you would ever do that, of course.

Let’s decide once and for all what Fake News really is.  Remember when it was easy to tell the difference?

Well, now it can be a little harder but one thing is for sure — news is not fake simply because a Republican doesn’t like it.

And somebody is standing up to them.

The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel in Colorado is accusing state Sen. Ray Scott of defamation and threatening to sue. If filed, legal experts said it would be the first suit of its kind, potentially setting a legal definition for what is considered fake news and what is not.

The Sentinel published an editorial asking that the state senator go forward on bill to make it easier to obtain public records.  The senator did not take kindly to some damn body making legitimate requests.

Scott took issue with the column on Twitter. “We have our own fake news in Grand Junction,” Scott tweeted.

Boy Howdy, Sen. Ray Scott just poked the wrong publisher. He’s says he gonna take a few days to cool down but he damn well might sue.  A lawyer who has represented the Sentinel before has a say, too.

“We are seeing a trend, not just here in Colorado, but that politicians for a variety of reasons have taken to calling very legitimate media entities — whether it be The New York Times, The Washington Post or CNN — fake news,” he said. “It’s intended to delegitimize those sources for news.”

Oh, this might be fun.

Thanks to Brad for the heads up.

There’s some good hunting in South Texas.  When Bubba and I first started dating, my Uncle Everett said it was okay for me to date him but I couldn’t marry him because they went hunting together and Bubba shot a stump. A tree stump. While sitting in a deer blind.

That happens occasionally, especially when large amounts of alcohol are involved and knowing Bubba back then, oh yeah. So I asked Uncle Everett why that would eliminate marrying-material since it does happen more often than you’d suspect. But Bubba shot it twice. “Once, I can see,” Uncle Everett explained, “but when I asked him why he shot it twice, he said he thought the sumbitch got up and tried to run away.”

We made him stick to fishing after that.

The reason I tell you this story because you need to know that some crazy crap happens hunting in South Texas.

Like this:

Michael Bryant and Walker Daughetry are south Texas hunting guides.  They took one of their clients, Edwin Roberts, on a hunting expedition last month.

On Jan. 6th, a deputy with the Presidio County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting at the Circle Dug Ranch.

When he arrived on scene, he found Daughetry and their client Edwin Roberts with gunshot wounds.

Both Daughetry and his fiancee claimed to have seen illegal immigrants from Mexico on the property before, and believe the shooters came from across the border.

So one of the guides and a client were shot – probably by Mexicans from across the border.

Their story made headlines across the country, a hunting guide and his client shot by illegal immigrants in the middle of the night.

The alleged attack captivated thousands of people after a family friend setup a GoFundMe account stating that Walker and his group were involved in a shoot out with some illegals that were trying to steal his RV with his clients still inside of it.

The account is to help pay for Walker’s medical bills since he is uninsured and has already raised over $23,000.

The police investigated the event and discovered …

According to Sheriff Dominguez, an investigation into the shooting showed that Daughetry shot Roberts and that Bryant had shot Daughetry.

It’s a circle shoot.  And they tried to blame roaring stupidity on invisible invaders.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

I did not write this, but it’s too funny not to share with you.

23. More than ever before, Americans are aware that education is important. Like, super important.
24. Now, more than anytime in history, everyone believes that anyone can be President. Seriously, anyone.

Remember all the howling during the Obama administration about the “Vacationer in Chief”?   Or the “Golfer in Chief”?  What was so ridiculous is that the same howlers were silent during GWB’s over 1,000 days on vacation during his presidency.  Well, the howlers are all silent again but what’s amazing is that they are silent about the new SCROTUS’s soaring vacation costs.  Since January 20th, he’s taken 3 jaunts to Mar-a-Lago, courtesy of the US taxpayer, costing $11.3 million.  Yes, $11.3 million in 4 weeks, almost equaling an entire year of the Obamas’ travel costs.  The noise from the screaming tee vee heads and congressvarmints?
