And to think Republicans used to think this was a flip flop.

“I said it was obsolete. It is no longer obsolete,” Trump said Wednesday, citing the group’s recent anti-terror efforts.

Y’all, bless Ben Carson’s heart.

Carson went on a two-day “listening tour” to Miami, Florida. I think he’s still trying to figure out what HUD stands for and I deeply appreciate any research he does on the matter.

So he goes to visit a Miami housing development and right after he tried out the foosball table …

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson’s two-day visit to Miami — his third stop on a national listening tour — started with a big glitch.

Carson, Miami-Dade County Public Housing Director Michael Liu and five other people got stuck inside an elevator Wednesday on the way down from a visit to the rooftop of the Courtside Family Apartments in Overtown.

He’s stuck in an elevator for 20 minutes.  They have to call the firs department to open the door.  You know for an almost certain fact that in that 20 minutes he forgot everything he had learned that morning.

The Republican have a nightmare scenario and it doesn’t involved nuclear weapons.

Three months into the new Congress, some Republicans are fearful that their failure to repeal ­ObamaCare could spell doom for the rest of President Trump’s legislative agenda.

Some Capitol Hill Republicans have envisioned the nightmare scenario for 2017, and it goes like this: No ­ObamaCare repeal. No tax reform. No trillion-dollar infrastructure package. No border wall.

See, my nightmare scenario is that a handbag designer gets us into nuclear war.

But, even with that aside, Republicans are fighting so badly among themselves that you’d think it was cheerleader tryouts at the Dallas Cowboys.

And the recriminations among Republicans only seem to be getting nastier.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), the head of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, “is a pathological liar who isn’t interested in getting to yes,” one House GOP colleague of Meadows told The Hill in a fit of frustration over the stalled health negotiations.

Then another one blamed Ryan, and then some guy from Idaho claimed other Republican members were trashing each other while hiding behind anonymity.  And then some guy from Nebraska claimed his car was nicer than the guy’s from Indiana.  Okay, so I’m just making stuff up now but you almost believed it.

We need a new rule: if you can’t organize a damn Easter Egg Hunt, you can’t run the country.

I rarely tell tales about my fabulous redheaded grandson, but this one seems appropriate now.  He had just turned two when his Uncle’s birthday party was at a fancy restaurant.  I had promised him cake and he was not going to let me off the hook.  When the cake arrived he was gloriously amazed.  “Gigi,” he said in amazement, “it’s cake AND it’s chocolate.” Until that moment he thought all cake was vanilla and all chocolate was M&Ms, but here were the two favorite things all in one.  It was adorable because he’s, you know, two years old.

Now I take you to Donald Trump, who is supposedly older than two years old.

He’s describing the night he took ole Syria down.

I was sitting at the table.  We had finished dinner.  We’re now having dessert.  And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen and President Xi was enjoying it.

And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do?

And we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way.  And I said, Mr. President, let me explain something to you.  This was during dessert.

We’ve just fired 59 missiles, all of which hit, by the way, unbelievable, from, you know, hundreds of miles away, all of which hit, amazing.

It’s so incredible. It’s brilliant. It’s genius.

And that wasn’t even the looniest thing he said in the interview.

And yes, by the way, they all hit. The ground. They all hit the ground but not much else.

Amidst sexual harassment settlements and sponsors dropping like flies, Bill O’Reilly announced last night that he’s going on a long-planned vacation. Right. Looks like, after years of spewing nonsense and lies, Billo’s meal ticket just ran out. Will he come back?  If he goes the way of Glenn Beck, the answer is no.

Even at Fox Noise, when ratings and ad revenue cease to override the downside of keeping hate spewing bigots on national television, the spewers get the bum’s rush.

In case you’ve forgotten, here’s one of Billo’s all time career highlights:

Joe Wilson was speaking at a town hall and his audience give him a taste of his own medicine.

U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson received some protests Monday like other Republican congressmen nationwide during town halls this year, getting drowned out at times with loud boos and receiving 30 seconds of “You Lie” chants.

How the hell is this guy still in the House?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
