Here Ya Go – Ken Paxton

September 05, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I flipped on the teevee today because I wanted to throw stuff at Jeff Sessions.

Every channel had Texas Attorney Ken Paxton on.  Paxton is one of the AG’s suing over the DACA.

One interviewer asked Paxton how he felt about DACA personally, but, of course, Paxton wouldn’t answer, even after the question was asked three times.

I offer even more proof about this whole thing being only about Obama.  Here is Ken Paxton’s wife on the Texas Republican chicken dinner circuit singing, “Pistol Packin’ Momma.”  The chorus to every line is, “I’m a pistol packing’ momma and my husband sues Obama.”

The yakking stops and the singing starts around 2:20.

Somebody on teevee should ask Paxton about this.

Paxton sued Obama at least 17 times.  So, yeah, that’s what he does for a living.

The people on teevee ought to know about this.  Ken Paxton used suing Obama as a fundraiser for his campaigns.  This isn’t about the constitution – this is about politics, pure and simple.

Yeah, I’m pissed off.

 

No. Absolutely Not.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was sent out to announce the repeal of DACA because God only knows what Trump would have said and this had lots of big words.  Sessions said Obama did not care diddle squat about the rule of law.  Hell, Sessions, Trump doesn’t even know what it is.

Just like I predicted, this is about Obama.  Sessions spent the first half of the speech lambasting Obama and the whole second half of the speech was about how wonderful Trump is.  Sessions even gave Trump credit for the reduction in the number of people from Mexico trying to get into the United States.  Damn, fool.  Most people are trying to get out.

Then he said this:

Societies where the rule of law is subject to political whims and personal biases tend to become societies afflicted by corruption, poverty, and human suffering.

I think he just described Trump.

This is the cruelest thing the United States has done in my lifetime and I promise you this: I will not stand idly by and let them removed DACA Dreamers from my hometown.  These kids were vetted, they have to stay in school or employed, they had to pay $500 plus attorney fees to apply, they cannot have a felony or a serious misdemeanor, and they want to be Americans enough to work for it.  They pay social security and they cannot receive any welfare whatsoever, including food stamps.

When they applied, they gave the government their addresses and the addresses of their family members because, dammit, they trusted us.  Now we’e going to use that information to track down 800,000 of them and send them to a country most of them have never known.

And from a purely practical standpoint, what are we going to do about DACA Dreamers in the military?  Who the hell is going to rebuild Houston?

The above hissy fit was brought to you by Jeff Sessions, the most pitiful excuse for man on planet earth.

 

Fun With Guns: Walmart Daily Double

September 05, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Thank you, Michigan.

So there’s just one notebook left on the shelf at Walmart and school is fixing to start.

Your 20 year old daughter sees someone reaching for the notebook, so a grabbing match ensues complete with cussin’ and hair pullin’.

So what do you do? You reach in your purse and pull out your gun, of damn course.

 

The police detective investigating the case spoke to the media.

“It was a senseless act of violence all the way around.” Police are now working with prosecutors to try to determine whether the woman’s actions could be classified as self-defense. She had a valid concealed gun license.

Yeah, well, I can certainly see that – hair pullin’ could be serious bodily injury.  You know, we don’t have that problem in Texas.  We have big hair and if you stick your hand in there, you’re liable to lose it in the AquaNet.  We kinda let nature take care of hair assault.

On the upside, the gun toting momma ended up with the notebook and checked out of the store with it.  There’s that.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Thank you Again

Joe Arpaio Made Simple

September 04, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Thanks to Ralph for this explanation:

Suppose a sheriff comes to your home and takes away your guns.

You tell the sheriff that you have a constitutional right to have guns.

The sheriff says “Tough luck, I’m taking your guns.”

You go to court and the judge tells the sheriff that he can’t take your guns.

The sheriff says “Tough luck, I’m taking your guns.”

The judge tells the sheriff that he is going to jail.

The President pardons the sheriff, no jail.

Your constitutional right to own guns is gone.

You say “Wait a minute, a sheriff and the President can’t take away my constitutional rights.”
But they just did.

Share this with your friends in the NRA and supporters of Sheriff Arpaio.

DACA

September 04, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Trump is supposed to be on the verge of repealing DACA because it has President Barack Obama’s cooties all over it.

There really is no other reason to do it.  It’s an Obama Cootie thing.

I live in Texas so I know lots of Dreamers.  There is an amazing and hauntingly heartbreaking story in the Houston Chronicle today about a Dreamer who died trying to rescue flood victims.

Trump has never forgiven President Obama for making fun of him at the correspondent’s dinner.  Trump is determined to wipe out all Obama-era executive orders, because he knows that doing it will hurt Obama … and the entire nation. Screw the nation – Trump has to hurt Obama.

Repealing DACA is the cruelest thing this country has done in my lifetime.  These young people don’t know anyone in Mexico. They haven’t returned since being taken out as children because they were afraid they couldn’t get back in.  They have jumped through hoops to get Dreamer status.

I feel fairly certain that congress will legislate DACA, but we have to waste time and money, and scare crap outta good kids just so Trump can feel like he has large hands.

Trump needs to come with a disclaimer: This is not how adults act.
