Please Make Nunes Keep Talking

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

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.

Hummmm …

Has anybody informed Donald Trump, Jr., that he has the right to remain silent?

 

Damn, son.  Shut the hell up.

 

Foreign Correspondent Fenway Fran

Fran, our foreign correspondent in Washington State sent us this report last night —

How afraid are you of having more women in leadership roles and elected office? I’m not. But there are people who must be downright terrified.

Last night, I went to an Emerge Washington training in my little purple bubble on the west end of my very red county. The library meeting room was full of women, mostly in the 30-40 year old range, with a few of us dependable oldies thrown in. It was wonderful to behold. My heart leapt with joy at the sight of so many young women interested in public office and how to get there. (Definition: Young to me is if they are young enough to be my daughter. Sometimes I forget and think I’m still 40.)

And then I saw them. One couldn’t miss two old white guys, one with a MAGA hat, sitting in the FRONT ROW. Are you kidding me???? Who would do that? Well, I did recognize one of them. It was the County GOP Chairman. He was the one in the MAGA hat. He lives on a small ranch about 30 miles east along State Hwy 14, and had the biggest Trump sign in the county that stayed up well past the expiration date. Next to him was his tea party patriot side kick. I know that because they actually signed in, and the sidekick’s email address was Patriot@…

The presenter was an incredibly poised young woman who is a veteran of Sen. Maria Cantwell’s campaigns, and is planning a run for State Legislature herself. She spoke eloquently about how to run a successful campaign, how to prepare yourself for the job you want, and how to engage a team to help you get there. She never ONCE looked at these two men, just off to her left. She never missed a beat. Totally unflappable. Must have been disappointing to these two. What a sad life you must have to drive half an hour in the pouring rain on a dark 2 lane highway to crash a progressive women’s political training.

That is how terrified they are. And it makes me smile.

Me, too, Fran. Me, too.  And I think you need to send us a picture next time so we can offer a nationwide warning that these guys are attending Democratic women’s meeting to grab them by the … well, you know.

 

The “Memo”

February 02, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

“The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s.”

John McCain

Did Trump even read the memo?  I mean, you gotta admit that when he said the memo says there will be six more weeks of winter, you did have suspicions.

I’m reading it right after lunch.

Okay, I read it.  Nunes released his memo —-
