Holy Crap, Y’all. Just Holy Crap

Take a look at this crap.

President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said that Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

I cannot decide if he hates America or is just nuts.  Can you even imagine if Barack Obama did something like this?

 

What Happens When Texans Elect a Jackass

Ol’ Deepfryer Sid has done it again – a rancher was concerned that the label on a new feral hog poison said that eating the meat of a poisoned hog could cause illness or death.  Sid’s solution to that?  Just take that warning off of the label.   Yes, unfortunately you read that right.

What a jackass.

 

Thank You, Supremes

For today, there’s good news coming from North Carolina.

The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal in the North Carolina voter ID case that a lower court said had discriminatory intent and ‘almost surgical precision’ targeting African-American voters.

That means the lower court’s decision stands.  North Carolina’s voter ID law is dead.

Chief Justice John Roberts reminded everyone that “the denial of a writ of certiorari imports no expression of opinion upon the merits of the case.”

Hey, Mr. Justice, we’ll take it anyway we can get it.

 

Oh For Pete’s Sake

Wait a minute. Wait a damn minute.

White nationalists protesting the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, Virginia, stormed two of the city’s parks on Saturday chanting Nazi slogans and brandishing torches.

 

You want me to take you seriously when you are mobbing-around carrying citronella tiki torches?  Ain’t no flies on you, huh?

Idiots.

Here, next time tell them to carry the real confederate symbol.

 

 

And the Tide Turns

May 15, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Comey Firing, Trump

Last week, beginning in the 24 blazing hours following Trump’s sacking of James Comey, the nature of Trump’s incumbency markedly shifted.  It started with the free flowing lies coming from every single one of his surrogates, then continued when the Big Cheeto threw that very same crew under the bus by contradicting his own talking points the next day after the firing.   Also, that same day, all of the networks, including Fox Noise, started using the word “lie”.  The words “chaos”, “turmoil”, and a dozen other descriptors of the Trump WH are now a regular part of network reporting.

Trump then threatened Comey with “tapes” of their conversations, and that was the moment mainstream GOP leadership started to part ways.  The Senate Intelligence committee has now asked the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to turn over documents related to Trump’s businesses.  Why is that significant?  FinCen enforces laws against MONEY LAUNDERING.  Over the years before Trump’s Atlantic City casino finally closed, it was caught several times money laundering.  This shift into serious investigation into his actually business dealings marks a change in emphasis from dark figures like Manafort, Stone, and Flynn to Trump.  That’s not insignificant. Referring to the request, Mark Warner, the ranking member on the committee, said, “[is] our effort to try to follow the intel no matter where it leads.”

There is now talk of Trump cleaning house and “rebooting” his administration.  Apparently, he’s furious with his staff for doing exactly what he’s told them to do, so the rumble is that he’s going to blow up the West Wing and start over.  Even if he does that, his problems are far from being over.  Money laundering? No one, including Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan can ignore that.  Mix in Russian money with that story, and Trump will finally be toast.

Fingers crossed here, but there is a clear shift of support away from Trump.  It can’t come too soon.

Opps. There Goes Clapper.

This was last week.

 

And this is today.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper issued a stern warning Sunday about the state of the US government after President Donald Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey last week, saying he thinks US institutions are “under assault.”

“I think in many ways our institutions are under assault both externally — and that’s the big news here is the Russian interference in our election system — and I think as well our institutions are under assault internally,” Clapper said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Pressed by anchor Jake Tapper if he meant US institutions were under assault internally from the President, Clapper responded, “Exactly.”

Exactly.
