Baby, That’s Cold

We have recently discovered that Air Force One has five “chillers” (refrigerators) on board, with each one having 70 square feet of storage space.  Your average home refrigerator has about 20 cubic feet of storage.

Two of them apparently need replacing.  The cost?  $24 million.  Dollars. Taxpayer money.

Honey, for that much money, they better not be able to tweet on their own.

It remains unclear if both airplanes that serve as Air Force One need their chillers replaced.  That would double the cost.

Eric Schultz, a former senior adviser to Barack Obama, reacted to the news by tweeting that “we would have been impeached” if the previous administration had carried out such an upgrade to Air Force One.

No kidding.

 

 

Stunning – Just Stunning

Okay, in today’s edition of Why The Hell Aren’t These People In Jail? I will tell you about a Super PAC that ripped off people to the tune of $3,000,000.  You’d think they won the damn Super PAC lottery.

The PAC is called “For A Better America.”  It is located at 2180 North Loop West, Set. 255, Houston, Texas 77018. That is the law office of Jarad Wayne Najvar.

The PAC raised $3 million, but only $30,000 of it is itemized.  When you click that link, you will notice the lack of employer information for the donors.  Hmmmmm … is that on purpose or just real sloppy bookkeeping?

And how was the money spent?  Well, vendors got all of the $2.75 million spent.  All of it. Click here to see this damn mess.  Pay particular notice to this vendor.

 

 

This vendor got a boatload crap of money.  However, their address is a post office box, and there is no such company authorized to do business in the District of Columbia.

Not one dime of the monies raised went to a candidate or a campaign.  Not one damn stinkin’ dime.

Here’s the couple who bankrolled the creation of this bucket of crap.

 

They have a little history with this kind of stuff.  Two years ago, they were prohibited from doing any fundraising in the state of Oregon after ripping off people with their Firefighters Support Foundation, which didn’t support firefighters.  The website is still up.  The “Foundation’s” address is at a UPS store.

The reason they were banned in Oregon is that their “charity” only spent 6.5% – averaged over three years! – on program services, i.e., benefitting firefighters. The rest went to fundraisers. Thanks to Citizens United their new super PAC can give zero to support or oppose candidates – all the money can go to fundraisers.

Here’s another little fun fact – the website for “For a Better America” links back to the original website that got them banned in Oregon.  Holy. Damn. Crap.

There has got to be a real special place in hell for these people.  It’s legalized theft, thanks to the United States Supreme Court.

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

Nunes is None-ness

The Fresno Bee said it better than anyone else …

What, pray tell, does Rep. Devin Nunes think he’s doing by waving around a secret memo attacking the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency?

He certainly isn’t representing his Central Valley constituents or Californians, who care much more about health care, jobs and, yes, protecting Dreamers than about the latest conspiracy theory.

Instead, he’s doing dirty work for House Republican leaders trying to protect President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.

Nunes, Honey, when your hometown newspaper calls you a jack-legged stooge boy with pig poop on your face, it’s time to dial it down.

 

Republicans

Steve Wynn, Vegas slick guy and the Republican National Committee Finance Chairman, paid $7.5 million to keep a rape victim quiet.

Not long after the billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn opened his flagship Wynn Las Vegas in 2005, a manicurist who worked there arrived at the on-site salon visibly distressed following an appointment in Mr. Wynn’s office.

Sobbing, she told a colleague Mr. Wynn had forced her to have sex, and she repeated that to others later.

Beyond this incident, dozens of people The Wall Street Journal interviewed who have worked at Mr. Wynn’s casinos told of behavior that cumulatively would amount to a decadeslong pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Wynn. Some described him pressuring employees to perform sex acts.

He’s already applied to the religious right for a few dozen Mulligans.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

But Nothing Happened

I urge you to go watch this video from this morning’s Fox and Friends about Trump wanting to fire Mueller.

Here’s the deal.  After Sean Hannity first called it Fake News, Fox’s news department was able to confirm the story, so Sean dropped the whole thing last night. Didn’t mention it again.

This morning, the morning kids called it a he said / she said thing.  I guess they are kinda hung up on all the sex stories surrounding Trump.

Now they are saying that nothing actually happened, so no problem. Trump just wanted to, he didn’t actually do it.

So, Trump almost cut the brake lines in Mueller’s car. But he didn’t he didn’t cut the brake lines in Mueller’s car. So, according to Fox, it’s real tough to say “obstruction” when nothing happened.

And this is why we can never build that wall – Fox won’t have anything to talk about.
