Louie and His Crayolas

November 15, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Y’all, Louie drew a chart and took it to Congress to prove that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to go to jail.

 

 

Do you want to see a close-up of Louie’s chart?  (Click here to see the big size.)

 

My favorite part are the lines that just end mid-air.  I mean, if there’s a connection, shouldn’t it connect to something?

To Louie’s credit, he did spell Uranium correctly this time.

Now getting Donald Trump to understand it should be a barrel of laughs.

Thank you to everybody for the heads up.  

No. Just No.

Another shooting.

Next up, thoughts and prayers.

Mike Pence checks in.

Pence wrote on Twitter: “Saddened to hear of the shooting in N. California, the loss of life & injuries, including innocent children. We commend the effort of courageous law enforcement. We’ll continue to monitor the situation & provide federal support, as we pray for comfort & healing for all impacted.”

 

Today’s Most Vicious Assault on Christianity and Mathematics

November 14, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I am certain that most of you know Bryan Fischer of American Family Radio.  He’s a radio evangelist and a big supporter of Roy Moore in Alabama.

Fisher has been defending Moore by claiming that he can only be judged by “Biblical Standards” that there must be more than one witness to a crime.

Well, as other women began coming forward, people thought Fischer would admit that Moore should be judged.  But, no.  Here’s how that works.

“The Bible is very, very clear that you never condemn anybody on the testimony of one witness,” Fischer said. “If there is a crime that has been committed and you only have one witness, you do not convict on that basis. Now what we’ve got here is four people that claim a crime of some kind, or something inappropriate happened, but in each case, there is only one witness. We don’t have two witnesses to any of these accusations to this point, which means from a standpoint of biblical justice, we have to hold our fire, we have to withhold our judgment, we have to wait and see if more information comes out.”

So, under these standards, the only rapes that could be tried are those that are done in front of audiences.

I mean, why don’t Fischer just go ahead and admit he’s a pervert, too?

 

Uh …. I Forgot — OH HELL, YES, IT’S UPDATED!

The White House is where we’re reminded that the most dangerous airborne virus in America isn’t Ebola, it’s Amnesia.

Remember that completely unqualified guy the Republicans think is the next Antonin Scalia so they voted him a lifetime appointment as a federal judge, even though he’s fresh out of law school and has never tried a case?  Brent Talley is on the road to being a punchline in Trump era jokes.

I know you’re going to be surprised, but his main qualification is amnesia.

 

Now, that’s some souped-up, doubled geared, rootin’ tootin’ case of amnesia.  Oh yeah, I forgot, my wife is the White House counsel’s chief of staff, who is also being called as a witness in the Mueller investigation.

Ms. Donaldson has emerged in recent weeks as a witness in the special counsel’s investigation into whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice. She was interviewed by investigators recently about her detailed notes about conversations with Mr. McGahn on topics including the firing of the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation with reporters.

Well, isn’t that just too cute!

I swear that the White House is the mob with all the crime families taking over.

Let’s see — he’s 36 years old, has only been a lawyer for three years, has held low level government desk jobs since law school, was only the second nominee since 1987 to be unanimously voted Not Qualified by the American Bar Association, has never tried a case in his damn life, but ta! da! he’s married to McGahn’s chief of staff!

Oh yeah, and Alabama’s two Republican senators recommended him.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

UPDATE:  Oh, the fun just ever ends.

(Please look down at your own risk.  Please don’t be drinking coffee or any crap like that.  Got it? Okay.)

 

Oh, it gets even better.

He also wrote books about paranormal activity and “has a cult following.”

You know that guy on the Discovery Channel who talks about space aliens?

 

I think Republicans are voting to give him a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

This.  This right here is why we can no longer tell satire from reality.

 

Here’s the Thing –

November 14, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Misogyny, Sumbitches

Roy Moore, candidate for the US Senate from Alabama, has now been accused by 5 women of sexually abusing them when they were young teenagers.  Others are now beginning to talk about Moore’s proclivity towards young girls and of even being known for preying on them at a local mall.  The guy is a weirdo.  He’s a creep and has no place in the Senate.  However, he’s not the only one, not by a long shot.  Recent revelations about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and many others have rocked DC and Hollywood, and all of the country in between.  Such revelations are finally bringing this pervasive issue into a national light, and has spawned the #metoo movement, where millions of women have had the courage to talk about their own experience of abuse and harassment.

Perhaps, though, it’s time for us to look outside our own political leanings and how those leanings affect how we see sexual harassment.  Right now, conservative evangelicals and even party leaders are contorting themselves to justify their support of Moore despite his clearly disqualifying conduct.  They’re doing it now in ignoring and defending the abhorrent behavior of the current occupant of the White House.  They also did it years ago when they supported Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court despite courageous testimony by Anita Hill who recounted years of sexual harassment at the hands of Thomas.  He was confirmed onto the Supreme Court anyway, and the damage he’s done to Constitutional law there for decades is clear.

But, here’s the thing; progressives and feminists have their own Roy Moore – and his name is, wait for it…Bill Clinton.  Yesterday, Caitlin Flanagan wrote about this issue in the Atlantic.  Clinton’s philandering and sexual harassment was also well known to all around him and exploded into the public several times with the Jennifer Flowers scandal, the Paula Jones case, and later the Monica Lewinsky affair which occurred IN THE WHITE HOUSE.  In the piece, she reminds us that feminists came to Clinton’s rescue, dismissing his behavior as not criminal, but mere “passes”.  Yes; “passes” where women claimed he them raped in their own hotel rooms and had sexual encounters in the Oval Office.  “Passes” where the evidence against him of serious conduct was much stronger and a hell of a lot more contemporary than what confronts Moore today.  She points to an op-ed piece written by Gloria Steinem in March of 1998, where she defended Clinton’s behavior and actually victim shamed for political gain.

Flanagan calls on feminists, progressives, and Democrats to face their own hypocrisy of supporting Clinton in the face of overwhelming evidence of his shocking conduct, yet condemning others on the other side of the aisle for behavior somewhat less egregious.  She calls for “a reckoning” with Clinton, but even more with themselves and how they contorted themselves to justify his behavior and protect their own political advantage.

It’s a thoughtful, but difficult read.  Perhaps it is time for Democrats to face this issue.  Perhaps we can deal with it more honestly that is being done on the other side.

 

 

Perv Report 2.0

November 13, 2017 By: El Jefe Category: Holy Crap

Roy Moore’s reputation continued to circle the drain today as he was yet again accused on national television of assault on a teenaged girl.  File under It Gets Worse Every Day, now residents of Gadsden, Alabama, Tighty-Whitey Moore’s hometown, are starting to spill the beans about him, some saying they can’t believe that the town’s worst kept secret stayed a secret for over 30 years.  This is what happens when a dirtbag becomes locally powerful; they stay powerful until one person decides that enough is enough and speaks out.  The noise then gets louder and louder, overpowering the bullshit spread by the perpetrator.

Hopefully, what we’re witnessing in Alabama, Hollywood, New York, and other cities is a movement.  Maybe that movement will reach the cancer now infesting our White House.  Maybe if his victims get loud enough, that cancer can be cured through immunotherapy.
