Treason?

February 06, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Remember the time Paul Ryan wouldn’t clap when President Obama called for the United States to be the country to cure cancer?

“For the loved ones we’ve all lost, for the family we can still save, let’s make America the country that cures cancer once and for all.”

 

While he was sitting next to Joe Biden, whose son was suffering with cancer?

Look, I’m not saying that was treason.  I’m just saying it was a real crappy thing to do. Double down crappy.  Dog dump crappy.

For Democrats to show Donald Trump any manner of approval about anything would be used for him to say, “See, everybody loves me.”  Besides, he clapped enough for himself to make up for those who didn’t.

Sumbitch.

 

My Little Secret

You know how you get ready to go to bed at night and wonder, “Did all that crap really happen today?”  You wonder how Donald Trump, Devin Nunes, and Paul Ryan could squeeze so much evil doing into 24 hours.  You begin to think you’re losing your mind: that many things can’t happen in one day.

I am here to bring you comfort.

There is a website called What The Flying Fertile Flip Just Happened Today where you can check in on reality.

WTF Just Happened Today is a newsletter, blog, podcast, and community that chronicles the daily shock and awe in national politics. It’s produced every morning by hand and updated throughout the day, with a newsletter sent out every afternoon, Monday through Friday.

You’re gonna thank me for this.

 

And I Know Why

It’s on CNN

 

 

It’s that extra $1.50 a week that the market couldn’t handle.

The stock market dip follows months of record highs, but still leaves the economy at a significantly higher level than it was when Trump took office.

Pressed about the stock market losses, White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah acknowledged “markets do fluctuate in the short term, I think we all know that. But the fundamentals of this economy are very strong.”

This morning Trump’s giving a speech about how great the stock market dropped 1,000 points.

Devin Nunes will soon have a memo about it.

 

Please Make Nunes Keep Talking

So Devin Nunes went on Fox & Friend this morning, you know, to play the roll of the Friend.

Among other things, Nunes admitted that he had never read the underlying document of The Memo, wasn’t aware that the FISA court was informed that the Steele document was gained from a political search, and did not know that Carter Page had been a worrisome critter even before Trump was running for president.  He also announced that Trump never even met George Papadopoulos.

Oh really, Devin?

 

 

So who ya gonna believe – Nunes or your lying eyes?

I think Fox & Friends should change their name to Fox & Some Old Guys In Coffee-Stained Tee Shirts With No Place To Go.

Trump, by the way, was thrilled with Nunes’ performance.

 

Thanks to Bess for the heads up.

Oh Be Still My Heart

Devin Nunes has more memos and as soon as the White House writes them and delivers them to him, he’s gonna publish them.

Republicans close to Nunes say there could be as many as five additional memos or reports of “wrongdoing.” But a source on the House Intelligence Committee tells me there’s no current plan to use the same extraordinary and highly controversial process they just went through, with a vote and ultimately a presidential approval to declassify sensitive information.

Yes, it is true.  Betty Jean Frontage in the post office department used a stamp for a personal piece of mail and only left 40 cents in the stamp drawer.  Stamps have not been 40 cents in a long time, Betty Jean.  Fact: Betty Jean voted for Hillary. This national nightmare is all Hillary’s fault.

Kyle Johnson at the State Department was unnecessarily nice to the Mexican Ambassador. It is a well known fact that Mexico is not sending us their best. They send us their drugs, their rapists. And Kyle was polite to him. Kyle was also polite to Bill Clinton once. Got it? Collusion.

Edwin Elberger, Ph.D., works in the agriculture department. Last month he was testing an experimental apple crop and he ate the entire apple instead of taking the customary one bite.  This violates at least three customs and Dr. Elberger’s excuse that the apple was really, really tasty brings small comfort to the American people.  Elberger has a “Work For Peace” bumper sticker on his Prius so we all know he as probably slipping apples to the Democratic National Committee.

Okay, that’s the first three, so the last two are up to you.

 

Big Beautiful Wall

February 05, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Lady Karma is a dreamboat.

Y’all, the judge who Donald Trump called “a Mexican” will now hear a case on a Trump initiative.

A federal judge in California who Donald Trump once derided for his ethnicity will hear a case Friday that could determine the president’s latitude to waive environmental laws, paving the way for his “big, beautiful” border wall.

The judge is the U.S. District Court’s Gonzalo Curiel, whom Trump berated during the 2016 campaign for his handling of a lawsuit involving Trump University. Trump called the San Diego jurist a “hater” and a “Mexican” who disliked Trump because of his strong border stands, even though Curiel was born in the United States and built his reputation prosecuting cross-border drug crimes.

Curiel never publicly responded to Trump’s whining.  Maybe he will now, ya think?

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
