Here’s a great list of signs you’ll enjoy from the women’s marches around the country.
And a couple from Houston.

Thanks to Sarah for the heads up.
New Braunfels is a small town stuck between Austin and San Antonio. It is famous for the rivers running through it, providing great fun for tubers in the hot Texas sun.
And a butt crazy judicial system.
State District Judge Jack Robison interrupted jury deliberation to “sway jurors to return a not guilty verdict in the trial of a Buda woman accused of trafficking a teen girl for sex.”
He said he was powerful sorry to interrupt them but, “when God tells me I gotta do something, I gotta do it,” according to the Herald-Zeitung in New Braunfels.
I suspect the jury figured that if God wanted them to know something, he would have told them, not the judge.
The jury went against the judge’s wishes, finding Gloria Romero-Perez guilty of continuous trafficking of a person and later sentenced her to 25 years in prison. They found her not guilty of a separate charge of sale or purchase of a child.
However, think how much money we’d save if we eliminated juries and just let God tell Jack who is guilty and who ain’t.
Here’s something you might want to bookmark in case you ever need to know where last year went or you want to play Trump Trivia at a cocktail party.
Day By Day With the Trump Presidency
No kidding. They do all 365 days. Remember when had a real president and on some days, literally nothing crazy happened?
I do not know about your neck of the woods, but we’re in for a dreary weekend in mine. I can handle cold. I can handle wet. But if you put them both together, I stay in my housecoat and fuzzy slippers all day drinking hot tea with whiskey in it.
So grab a blanket and read through the dreary. Here’s Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony to the House Committee. Skip over the parts at the beginning where lawyers are rattling papers at each other. Lawyers throw paper at each other much the same way that cavemen threw rocks at each other.
As Rachel Maddow said last night, “It reads like a spy novel.”
Thanks to Scott for the reminder!

Okay, here’s how you know that the Republican congressional candidate in Pennsylvania is gonna lose to the Democrat.
“The White House says that, despite the president’s tweet, he is not going to Pennsylvania Thursday to campaign for a congressional candidate there,” the AP reports.
“Now press secretary Sarah Sanders says the purpose of the visit is actually to promote Trump’s agenda, especially the Republican tax overhaul.”
This is also how you know that somebody leaked Trump the answers to the cognitive test at his physical.
This is the seat where pro-life congressman Tim Murphy urged his mistress to have an abortion. He stepped down and now there’s a special election. The Republicans are going all-out to win the seat and the Democrat in the race is only getting marginal support from outside groups like Daily Kos and End Citizens United.
I wonder when Trump is going to get tired of being corrected.
