Well, the Congressman Blake Farenthold story is far from over.

Senator Susan Collins got caught accidentally (?) on a hot microphone about Blake Farenthold wanting to shoot her in a duel.

“Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?” Collins asks.

“I know,” Reed replies. “Trust me. Do you know why he challenged you to a duel? ‘Cause you could beat the s— out of him.”

“Well, he’s huge,” Collins replies. “And he — I don’t mean to be unkind, but he’s so unattractive it’s unbelievable.”

“Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this Playboy bunny?” she continues, referring to an infamous photo of Farenthold.

And it must have been Susan Collins ope mike night because she and Senator Reed continue, but about the president.

“I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.”

“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”

“I’m worried,” Collins replies.

“Oof,” Reed continues. “You know, this thing — if we don’t get a budget deal, we’re going to be paralyzed.”

“I know,” Collins replies.

“[Department of Defense] is going to be paralyzed, everybody is going to be paralyzed,” Reed says.

“I don’t think he knows there is a [Budget Control Act] or anything,” Collins says, referring to a 2011 law that defines the budget process.

I’m worried too, Senator.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

During Trump’s bizarre speech to the Boy Scouts, he said, “Under a Trump Administration, you’ll be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again as you go shopping.”

Because, you know, Obama made that illegal.  Verdelia says she accidentally said Merry Christmas at the Walmart and George Soros ran into the store and slapped her with a 48DD from the ladies department.

And, y’all, since Trump lies so much I don’t know if we can trust his word on this so I’m gonna take it on a test drive.  I intend the go down to the Dairy Queen this evening and greet everyone at the door with, “Merry Christmas.”  Unless Hillary Clinton comes in and smashes me with a medium cone with chocolate shell, I’ll know that Trump is finally telling the truth.

And why can you only say it while shopping? You can’t say it at the bowling alley or Jaime’s Taco Hut?  How ’bout your synagogue?   Can you say it there?  Look, if you can only say it while shopping, I’m gonna be screwed because … Amazon.

Merry Christmas, ya’ll, because I like living dangerously.

Long before Cheeto Jesus became active in politics, I believed he was nothing but a snake oil salesman.  His reputation as a fraud in business, a lecher with women, a crass carnival barker and shameless promoter were well known.  I refused to watch his silly scripted “reality” shows, would change the channel when he was a guest on talk shows, and certainly wouldn’t frequent any of his businesses when in New York.  His campaign, and his subsequent infestation of the White House were and are simply appalling.  But yesterday?  In front of FORTY THOUSAND young boys at the Boy Scout Jamboree?  Donald Trump’s behavior was simply unacceptable.  Foul language, sarcastic, self-serving rhetoric, political and personal attacks were infused throughout his shameful performance.  My God, it was simply the worst of the worst.  How do you teach your child to be loyal, trustworthy, and honest when the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES exhibited NONE of these qualities?

For months I have tried to come up with a one word descriptor for this, this, thing.  The only word that comes to mind is shitbag. (Sorry, Momma)  This word is short and unambiguous.  I know it’s offensive to some, but I couldn’t be more offended than I am now.  New York Magazine has just posted a really good summary of the 14 inappropriate things Trump said in front of our nation’s youth.  It’s hard to read, but you need to do it.

If you don’t have a stack of post cards handy for your use during these troubled times, get a damn stack.

Contact the Boy Scouts of America.

You can find your local council here.  You need to call those people and tell them how to act like a damn American.

Well, it’s rather obvious why Jared doesn’t do media.

Bless his heart, he can’t speak.  And he can’t read either.

And he’s goofy looking.

Oh yeah he did.

Congressvarmint Blake Farenthold, also known as Ducky Boy, has taken the initiative to challenge female Republican senators to a duel.

No, I am not kidding.

Speaking about the female Republicans who oppose Trumpcare, he got on the electric radio and said …

Farenthold singled out female senators for opposing the repeal of Obamacare, before suggesting that if they were men, he’d ask them to settle things with a gunfight.

“Some of the people that are opposed to this [i.e., repealing Obamacare] — there are some female senators from the northeast,” Farenthold said. “If it was a guy from south Texas I might ask them to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style.”

See, this would be just awful if it was not for the fact that Blake is so chubby that his hands can’t meet in the front, so he’d be severely limited in what weapon he could use.

I think Blake needs to think this through.  He’s a much much much bigger target.

We know he’s an idiot, but he fits right in with the rest of the Texas Republican delegation.

He does.  Look it up.
