Chaffetz is Whining Over Money
Short timer Jason Chaffetz is now saying part of his decision to resign was economic, saying he can’t afford 2 mortgages and college for his kids. He wants a $2,500 per month housing allowance for members of Congress. Chaffetz is a FIVE TERM representative. Someone should remind ol’ Jason that the Founders never intended for elected positions in the Congress or the White House to be careers; it’s called public service. You get elected, serve one or two terms, then GO HOME to live with the laws you passed.
Being a public servant is just that – being a servant. You’re not supposed to get rich, or make a career out of it. Congress itself has feathered its own nest for decades, entrenching fossilized members who should have gone home when bell bottoms went out of style. I have zero sympathy for reps who sleep in their offices or struggle to pay bills – they should never be so comfortable that they stay.
Chaffeetz’s whining is just one more reason that term limits for EVERY elected official is a must. Politicians are just like diapers. They both need to be changed regularly and for the same reason.
A Signing of the Times
Donald Trump cannot get diddle squat done.
For some reason, he doesn’t want his supporters to know that. So, in what might go down as Olympic qualifying goofiness, he has taken to signing memos ceremoniously.
This is an honest to gosh picture of Trump signing a damn memo saying he supports privitazation of air traffic control. Everybody else writes that stuff on a sticky note, but not Glitter Donald.
Look at Ted Cruz standing there like Trump just named him Man of the Damn Decade.
The more I watch Trump, the more I know Marco Rubio was right about the small hands.
Oh the Horror
I have talked to you before about the small Texas town of Victoria, close to the Gulf Coast and as red as a radish. Victoria has three Baptist churches within a three mile area because they can’t get along with each other.
Much to my delight, Victoria is large enough to have a newspaper, but small enough to print the the weekly crime report, my favorite reading. I have Democratic friends in Victoria who send me the crime report when it’s especially good in their oh so Republican town.
You are going to love this one. Under “Stolen” near the bottom are Hidden Pleasures.
And whoever did $200 worth of damage to front yard religious statues is going straight to hell.
Ya know what, Victoria could surely use some family counseling.
Oh, those great red Texas cities.
Actual Fake News
The Washington Post continues its battle against darkness and Trump World. Today, it revealed that Trump has hung a fake Time magazine cover in at least 5 of his resorts. This cover was never published by the magazine.
So. The clown who perpetuated the lie about President Obama’s birthplace for SIX YEARS, and has lied on a daily basis since he started his campaign for the presidency faked a Time Magazine cover to self aggrandize.
What an ass.
Sorry
I wanted to make some snide remarks about Syria and how Trump doesn’t talk to his generals, but I have granny duties today.
Y’all chat away!
