Out of the clear blue, someone sent me this picture of Tom DeLay …

That’s notorious Russian mobster and Putin confidant Alexander Torshin, along with Hot Tub Tom and NRA President David Keene…..

There is no date or location associated with the picture.

DeLay got himself into some sticky wicket with the Russians years ago.  He took a dark money donation from them to start the Alexander Strategy Group along with Jack Abramoff and Ed Buckham. They were DeLay’s money pimps.  In 2006, the Houston Chronicle reported …

The network was used to promote causes championed by DeLay, according to the Washington Post.

The group raised $2.5 million from three Abramoff clients, including $1 million from Russian businessmen, the Post reported. Abramoff worked with Buckham to organize a 1997 trip to Moscow by DeLay.

All of this crapola with DeLay and the Russians was in the early 1990’s. He took a million dollars from them in dark money.  I wrote about it at the time and I have looked all morning for the article I wrote and I can’t find the danged thing.  It was an outrageous satire piece asking why DeLay wanted to keep the donor a secret.  I asked, “Did he get it from the commies  in Russia?”

My boss lady suggested that was why Tom was so afraid of me and got panicked when I showed up at his trial.  I was right. The most outrageous, shameful place he could have gotten the money is where he actually got the money. DeLay thought I knew something. I didn’t – it was just a dopey guess.

Anyway, maybe it was even worse than we suspected.  I can’t date the picture but it looks to me like it was after DeLay’s second facelift, which would place it around the past four years.  But that’s just a guess.

And God help us all — he’s hired someone to write a another book for him. Please feel free to go to Amazon to review it. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t read it.  I can assure you that Tom hasn’t either.

Yep, that’s how I vote.

Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone on Monday evening asserted that his political opponents “hate” the president, the United States, and even God.

Okay, my bet is that Rick Saccone will be the next Republican caught stealing money to pay a prostitute to have an abortion.

Isn’t it odd how when a candidate is 6 points down in a congressional district that Trump won by 20 points, they cannot seem to realize that those Trump folks are embarrassed by their vote and bringing in Donald, Jr didn’t help diddle squat.

So, now he’s gonna try God.  Democrats ought to counter that if God decides who wins, Republicans who vote are trying to make God look weak.

The White House is no longer a clown car………now it is a clown coach bus and it is on fire in a damn dumpster.

Here’s the deal … John McEntee, Trump’s longtime body man, was escorted out of the White House this morning without his coat. They say his personal items will be “mailed to him.”

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that McEntee’s departure was triggered by a security issue. Another source says it was “serious financial crimes” that got him escorted out.

Who the hell knows?

But what we do know is that McEntee will immediately take a job working in the the Trump reelection campaign.

Even though McEntee is reportedly being under investigation for financial crimes, the Trump presidential campaign announced on Tuesday morning that it would hire him to help with the president’s reelection efforts in 2020.

And that should keep him from singing too loudly to Mueller.

Y’all, if you’re a Republican elected official and you haven’t been caught in a sex scandal, you’re just not trying hard enough.

The top leader in the Iowa Senate resigned Monday after a website published video and photos allegedly showing the married lawmaker kissing a statehouse lobbyist.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix is married with three children.

And this ain’t his first rodeo.

Last year, Iowa settled a $1.75 million lawsuit for sexual harassment and retaliation with a former employee of the Iowa Senate Republicans, Kirsten Anderson. Anderson said that she was fired as communications director for the Republican caucus in 2013 after reporting a toxic work environment due to sexual harassment.

Dix denied the woman’s testimony and said the woman was fired for incompetence. Republican definition of incompetence in women: the ability to say no.

Yeah, there’s a video.

Thanks to Phyllis for the heads up.

It’s over, y’all.

It has to be true. It’s in all caps. That’s how you know true things from false things – true things are in all caps.

You also know it’s true because Devin Nunes said it and he worked very hard to cover Trump’s enormous ass.

Rex Tillerson went out with a blaze of glory.

On Friday, Trump asked Tillerson to step aside.  Early this morning, Tillerson made this headline.

Tillerson calls the poisoning “a really egregious act” and says it’s “almost beyond comprehension” that a state actor would use such a dangerous substance in a public place.

I guess Tillerson’s non-disclosure document did not include Russia.

Bye, bye, Rex.  I hope this public humiliation loosens your jaw a little.

UPDATED:  Now that I’ve had my second cup of coffee, I am beginning to understand that Tillerson’s jaw wasn’t loosened by being fired.  He committed suicide.

Tillerson claims that he’s not even spoken to the president, but apparently Putin has.  Tillerson made the statement before the firing.
