Newt is back again, y’all. He’s doing the Twitter thing, too.

Rethinking Made Easy: people only have integrity and honesty if they side with Dear Leader Trump and his groveling toady Newt.
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
It’s been all over the news this weekend. Shakespeare in the Park is presenting a new version of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, with the Roman ruler looking almost identical 
to Trump, complete with idiotic combover and 3 foot long red tie. As in the original script, his is violently dispatched in the middle of the play. Cue the outrage in 3-2-1…it came spewing out of every pore of the right wing noise machine, and DJT Jr. even chimed in on The Twitter, asking if taxpayer money was used to fund the production. The furor was so fervent that sponsors, Delta Airlines and Bank of America caved and pulled funding, afraid to offend Trumpists.
But, THAT, of course, is not the only modern version of Julius Caesar performed in
Guthrie Theater, Dowling Studios
recent years. In 2012, director Rob Melrose produced a version with an Obama lookalike as the famed Caesar. It was also performed in New York by the Acting Company. And yes, that Caesar was also violently dispatched in mid play.
The difference between 2012 and 2017? The noise machine is now going nuts when in the previous production we heard nothing but crickets. “Thine hypocrisy will be thy downfall.”
Or something like that.
Thanks to easttxdem for the heads up.
Oh y’all, Louie Gohmert ain’t taking no summer break. No, sireeeee, Louie is 12 month nincompoop so there is no rest for his troubled soul.
Let me interrupt this story to tell you something I’ve just noticed. In Texas, Louie enjoys one name fame. He’s just Louie. You know, like Madonna or Cher. You say Louie anywhere in Texas and people start cringing because they know they are fixing to hear something crazy. And, God bless him, Louie did not let us down this time.
Louie thinks that Donald Trump can walk on water, which lends slight credence to the fact that Louie is deacon over at the Baptist Church. This week, Louie kinda singled out James Comey as the antiChrist du jour, which kinda takes the pressure off Barack Obama, Hollywood, and college professors, at least for this week.
Louie has decided that James Comey was fibbing during his testimony …
“I believe I heard him say he did the memo [about possible obstruction of justice] then he talked with some of his colleagues,” Gohmert insisted to Fox News host Julie Banderas. “We need to round up everybody he talked to because they were all conspiring against the president and all conspiring against their oath of office, conspiring against their own employment agreement.”
“We have a conspiracy remaining afoot in the Department of Justice that is going to be out to destroy this president and they’ve got to be fired, if not worse,” he added.
It’s a conspiracy! It’s a conspiracy! The sky is falling … on a conspiracy!
I love this part: “they’ve got to be fired, if not worse.” Worse? What? Are the stockades on back order?
Okay, here’s the stumbling block. We already have 93 US Attorney positions empty since Sessions fired them all or they left because … oooey … Sessions. If you fired everybody else, you leave Jeff Sessions alone to do the work of US Attorneys all over this country. If that doesn’t scare your butt, you ain’t got full brain capacity.
If talking to somebody constitutes a conspiracy, then … oh yes, I will say it … shut the hell up, Louie.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
This just popped up on my phone. I’m headed to the grocery store to buy more popcorn!
