A 57 year old woman in Iowa plead guilty yesterday to election fraud. Terri Lynn Rote tried to vote for Donald Trump twice and got caught.

Rote told police why she tried to vote more than once. She was convinced her first vote for Mr. Trump would be manipulated and changed to a vote for then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. According to her statement to the police, Rote believed Mr. Trump’s claims about widespread election rigging.

So in Trumpville you combat election rigging by voting twice.

Oh, but there’s more.

Rote’s court-ordered attorney said Rote had “significant mental deficits” and “cognitive limitations” that would prevent her from standing a fair trial during a court filing in January.

Dude, no. That is not an adequate defense.  That, my friend, pretty much describes everyone who voted for Trump.

My Republican precinct chair – who lives nearly across the street from me – gave it up last night as I was taking out the garbage.  To begin with, he is not a pleasant man.  Every time a Democrat wins, he sneers at me the next day, “I hope you’re happy.”  Why yes, I am.  Thank you for noticing.

Last night he made a special trip outside.  He was wound up tighter than kite string.  “How can you claim Donald Jr knew he was meeting with Russians?  Plus, you guys are always looking for dirt on your opponents so how can you say this is wrong?”

Bless his heart. I have never seen a man who needed to be right all the damn time as much as this guy.  Oh wait, I have. That would be every other Republican male.

So I responded.  Remember back in 2000 when the Gore campaign received an anonymous “gift” of George W Bush’s debate prep notebook and a video of him during debate practice?  Without even reading past the first page, they called the FBI because they knew the material was stolen.  They knew that was the right thing to do.  They were honorable people.

He listened and then proudly responded, “Yeah, and Gore lost.”  You know he wanted to say nanny-nanny-boo-boo but I think he couldn’t remember the order of the nannies and the boos.

I smiled and said, “So conspiring with an enemy of America to win an election is okay?”  He rolled his garbage can right into the ditch.  “They did not conspire. They did not conspire. You cannot prove they conspired.”

Oh, I think that train’s already left the station and it’s headed 60 miles per hour right into the brick wall of justice.

Bless his heart, he’s really scared that I’m going to laugh at him when Trump goes down. Well, I will.

Do you have any idea How exciting it is for Rick Perry when he can announce that he makes $135,000 for being a celebrity and showing up?  Go look at item 11,108.

Or that cannot assertion the value of his $2.98 books?  Items number 11090 and 11089 at the same link.

Enjoy these and a whole damn list of Donald Trump’s trusted advisors and friends.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Pants on Fire.

How many times have the Trump family lied?  Has anyone kept count?

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller pops up every now and then to remind me that Donald Trump ain’t alone in his battle of voter humiliation.

Long time customers are familiar with Miller because I write about him a whole bunch.

He’s so crooked that when he dies, we’re going to have to screw him into the ground.

He’s also loopy.

Sid, who has never been in the military, almost daily prances out his pandering to the military.

Sid is just flat proud as punch that he can read upside down because you have to be “amazing” to do that.  Hell, he even did it easily.

So stop whatever foolishness you’re doing and let Sid know if you can read upside down without standing on your head.

His latest?

Sid, CNN does not know who you are.  However, I’ve got $20 cash American money that says CNN will be around a whole lot longer than Donald Trump.

As the Godfather Trump Saga plays out, it was indeed Fredo who did it.

Donald Trump, Jr., may have committed treason.

Trump Jr. confirmed that he went into the meeting expecting to receive information from the Russian lawyer that could hurt Clinton. That is a breathtaking admission.

So, his purpose in attending the meeting was to collude with a foreign power to help Trump in an election.

Poor Junior apparently does not realize that is treason, whether the meeting was successful or not.  I personally think it most likely was very successful, considering that three days later Julian Assange enters the picture.

There were three people at that meeting – Junior, Kushner, and Paul Manafort.  This leak tells me that Manafort is leaking like screen door on a submarine.

This is crooks bringing down crooks.
