I’m here to tell you that if Puerto Rico had white people living there (1) they would be a state and (2) they would be getting the help they so desperately need right now.

Let’s rent out a few cruise ships and send them to house people until we can get some emergency shelters on the island.  Let’s use the National Guard to help clear the island and restore fresh drinking water.  Let’s send power generators until electricity is restored.

This is Trump’s Katrina.

Attention, please.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Louie Gohmert thinks Arizona voters should recall John McCain immediately, not of course because he isvoting against Repeal and Replace.  According to Louie, McCain should be recalled because he has cancer.

Rep. Louie Gohmert believes Arizona Sen. John McCain should be recalled while he battles brain cancer and so that the GOP can replace him with someone who will support the party’s latest effort to repeal the 2010 health care law.

“Nothing inhibits recovery from cancer like stress,” the Texas Republican told “Fox & Friends” on Monday morning. “I think Arizona could help him, and us. Recall him, let him fight successfully this terrible cancer, and let’s get someone in here who will keep the word he gave last year.”

I dunno, but I would imagine having your healthcare taken away while you are battling cancer would give you a fair amount of stress.  But we’re not talking about about other people with cancer. Louie doesn’t care about their stress.

Louie does stuff for your own good because he’s a Baptist deacon.  And he thinks a recall election would not cause stress.

Okay, see, this is why I hate this guy. He’s the meanest sumbitch in Texas and, Honey, that’s saying something.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Crazy Butt Moore

Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell went to Alabama to campaign for Luther Strange in the GOP primary run-off election for US senate. Strange’s opponent, one Crazy Butt Roy Moore, is leading by 10.8 points today.  Another poll shows him leading by 8.6 points.

The election is tomorrow.

Crazy Butt Moore is leading. As a connoisseur of cornbread and friend okra politics, I enjoy watching these things and will be tuned in tighter than usual because the Astros have already made the playoffs.

Here’s the bet: you pick the winner and the point spread.  You post it here by midnight tonight.  You get your name on the poster board and I will send you a copy of Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny,” which I’m reading now and think it’s worth your time.

You must enter the exact number, as in 3.8 or 12.1. If you enter just the number 5 or 7, you’re automatically disqualified for not reading to the end of the post before getting all excited for Thelma to write your name on poster board.

Okay, here’s a REVISIT on this race.

Donald Trump went on an Alabama talk radio show this morning claimed he knew why Luther Strange should win the primary.

A primary win by “Ray” Moore would open Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat to Democrats, President Donald Trump told radio-hosts “Rick and Bubba” this morning.

Trump repeatedly called Roy Moore the incorrect Ray Moore.

When host Rick Burgess clarified that Moore’s first name was Roy and not Ray, Trump came back with why it’s “not a good sign” when the president doesn’t know your name.

No, not so much.  Especially when the president doesn’t know diddle squat.

Hellfire, Trump didn’t even know who Frederick Douglass is or that Luciano Pavarotti had died ten years before Trump declared him his “great friend.”

While the media was obsessing this weekend over Trump’s latest foul-mouthed tirade, his staff extended the Muslim travel ban and Republicans in the Senate wrote in more payoffs to hold out Senators to get them to vote for gutting the US healthcare system.  This has become a common occurrence since Cheeto Jesus infested the WH, and I don’t believe it’s a strategy put in place by him; I believe it’s a strategy developed by very evil and very smart people who are exploiting his proclivity for attention-getting bombast.

Trump’s childish tirades and embarrassing behavior are well known.  They’re also predictably unpredictable.  Almost every time he engages in outrageous behavior, his staff slips something out to the public – unwinding environmental protections, rounding up immigrants, issuing some other cringe-inducing executive order.

This weekend, Trump attacked NFL and NBA players for various fake affronts.  Steph Curry declined to come to the WH with his NBA team, so Trump rescinded the invitation in a Twitter based insult.  Later, in one of his silly campaign rallies, this time in Alabama in support of appropriately named Luther Strange, Trump started his war on NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem as a form of protest against violence against racial minorities by police.

During the ensuing firestorm, his staff issued a new travel ban, adding countries to the existing ban that has been blocked by the courts.  Also, under the cover of this circus, Senate Republicans added payoffs for Arizona, Kentucky, and Alaska to the latest effort to destroy healthcare for millions of Americans in an effort to get yes votes from John McCain, Rand Paul, and Lisa Murkowski.

Stayed outraged.  But pay attention.

Lock him up!  Lock him up!  Lock him up!
