Okay, here’s something I would have bet my favorite lasso that I’d never say:  I completely agree with Jennifer Rubin.

Rubin is the conservative columnist for the Washington Post.  This morning, she goes after Trump and his supporters with intent to barbeque.

(If you don’t have a Washington Post online subscription, you can probably read it here.)

I was going to pull out some of her best thoughts and put them here to encourage you to read the whole thing, but dammit, read the whole thing.

Also, thanks to Bryan for sending me this:

Y’all, I know that having a crazy president can make you crazy, but …

Am I the only person who thinks that Bannon was the source who leaked all the stuff about Jared?

The Republican Governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, has a solution to crime in his capital city: “Volunteer patrols that will not report or stop criminal activity, but pray it away.”

He appears to be serious.

President Obama broke his silence yesterday after Trump’s idiotic spectacle in the Rose Garden; and it’s good:

“A year and a half ago, the world came together in Paris around the first-ever global agreement to set the world on a low-carbon course and protect the world we leave to our children.

“It was steady, principled American leadership on the world stage that made that achievement possible. It was bold American ambition that encouraged dozens of other nations to set their sights higher as well. And what made that leadership and ambition possible was America’s private innovation and public investment in growing industries like wind and solar – industries that created some of the fastest new streams of good-paying jobs in recent years, and contributed to the longest streak of job creation in our history.

“Simply put, the private sector already chose a low-carbon future. And for the nations that committed themselves to that future, the Paris Agreement opened the floodgates for businesses, scientists, and engineers to unleash high-tech, low-carbon investment and innovation on an unprecedented scale.

“The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created. I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack. But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.”

If you’re like me and feeling crappy about Trump’s speech, I have some instant happiness for you.

Louie Gohmert has a serious challenger. Dr. Brent Beal, who teaches business at the University of Texas in Tyler has announced that he’s a Democratic candidate for Gohmert’s seat.

Go give him $10. by clicking the red DONATE button on the upper right hand side.  Who says money can’t buy happiness? Boy, just the thought of Brent chasing Louie all around East Texas makes my heart do the happy dance.

Once you donate, tell others how good it felt in the comments section.

You’re gonna thank me for this.

I have increasingly come to believe that Trump’s only goal as president is to erase every vestige of President Obama’s presence on earth.  All of it.  Everything he ever said or did.

So here comes the Paris Accords.  First, I am confident that whatever he does he will call it winning. Second, it is admirable in a weird way that he’s not doing it on Twitter.  The world needs more covfefe.

Third, I completely understand that he’s using this as leverage, you know like wheeler-dealers do.  He’s thinking, “I’ve got something other countries want. What will they give me in return?”  I seriously doubt that by “me” he means us.  I think he’s holding out for other world leaders to give him a damn golf course somewhere or a hotel on Boardwalk.  I dunno, but I do know he doesn’t give a tinker’s damn about us.

Look, when even the CEO’s of big oil think we should stay in because if everybody dies, there’s no one around to buy their oil, then we need to stay in.

If you’re holding your breath waiting for his announcement, don’t do that.  You may have to hold your breath afterwards.
