So, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman says that he has Jared Kushner “in his pocket.”  Honey, if you have a dollar fifty in your pocket, Jared is determined to get in there.

According to three sources, Jared gave the crown prince the names of people “disloyal” to the prince.  And where did Jared get the names?

“The Saudi figures named in the President’s Daily Brief were among those rounded up; at least one was reportedly tortured,” The Intercept explained.

And remember all that stuff about Hillary’s private server?

Kushner communicates with both the Saudi and Emirati crown princes via Whats-App. A source claims that Kushner’s lawyers have since told him not to use the app for government business.

Kushner’s defense team denies leaking names of Saudi critics who were subsequently arrested and tortured.

So a creepy guy with no security clearance who is desperate for money is leaking PDB info to the Saudis.

I will be a happy women when I see Jared marched off to prison.  I’ll celebrate by sending him a lifetime subscription to “Your Ass Just Got Kicked Magazine.”

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Louie Gohmert, the the congress varmint from East Texas, is running around with his shoelaces tied together.

He had a two-fer today!

First, he insults Cesar Chavez just out of meanness.

Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert on Tuesday filed a House resolution to declare March 31 “National Border Control Day.” The date marks the birthday of Cesar Chavez, the revered Mexican-American labor leader who co-founded the United Farm Workers union.

Gohmert totally twists Chavez’s words and the resolution is called “a disgrace” by fellow members of congress.  I’m pretty certain it’s not the first time they have noticed.

And there’s the icing on the cake. Standing on his own on thin ice, Gohmert calls for the firing of Robert Mueller.

“I think Mueller should be fired,” Gohmert said, according to video captured by CNN. “He should be. He should never have been appointed, and he should never have accepted. He should be fired.”

The “only reason” not to fire Mueller “in actuality,” Gohmert said, is that “some establishment Republicans” have said such an action could result in the President’s impeachment.

Gohmert offers no legal reason why Mueller should be fired. He does say that Mueller was not a good FBI director and something weird about “the thousands of years of experience he ran off” from the FBI.

I think he was fixing to say something tacky about Girl Scout cookies and your grandmother, but he got distracted by something shiny.

Thanks to Brian and Sarah for the heads up.

Lookie here. Eighteen different committees made payments to Cambridge Analytica totaling more than $16M from June 2014 to December 2016, according to FEC filings.

Ho Boy, Ted Cruz sure wasted his money.  Hell, that man is unlikeable even when he knows what you want to hear.

And lookie here who oversaw the collection of data.

Conservative strategist Stephen K. Bannon oversaw Cambridge Analytica’s early efforts to collect troves of Facebook data as part of an ambitious program to build detailed profiles of millions of American voters, a former employee of the data-science firm said Tuesday.

The man is the devil. I’m telling you right now – he’s got a 666 tattoo somewhere.

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.  

Blake Farenthold, the disgraced congressman from South Texas, told us that he was going to serve out his term after resigning for being a sexist pig and a real pervert.

He lied.

Of course he also lied about repaying the $84,000 in taxpayer money used to settle the lawsuit brought by his former legislative aide.

So, he lies.

His new plan is to leave congress early enough to trigger a special election prior to the big playing-for-keeps contest that happens in November.  That would benefit Republicans, who could then run their candidate coming off a much publicized win.

Another benefit would be that a special election costs the taxpayers about the same as landing on Boardwalk with three hotels.  Farenthold loves spending your money.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Back in December I told you about a dude by the name of Kevin Stuart who formed a PAC called Make America Like Texas.

We have no idea what he means by that. Does he want America to be like Texas, or does he want America to start liking Texas.  Either way, I ain’t impressed with his linguistics.

As you would suspect, Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen has been keeping tabs on this guy.

Here’s what’s new.  The PAC got a donation.  One. But one is all you have to get if it’s so big it won’t fit in your wallet.

Yep, that’s $50,000 from a woman who is in “investments.” Lyssa Seale is the wife of Hank Seale, who made his money “specializing in interactive Web-based products for community banks, credit unions and savings and loan associations.”

Hank and Lyssa are also big game hunters.  Here they are in Spain killing stuff last year.

So, anyway, how does Make America Like Texas plan on spending that $50,000.  Oh, in New Orleans.

I dunno.  I’m not finished figuring this out.  But, the guy who owns the PAC goes by the name Kevin D. Stuart in Austin.

Okay, follow me here. The money was spent at Teddlie Stuart Media Company and one of the seniors partners there is Kevin E. Stuart, who is executive director of the Austin Institute.  Probably just a wild coincidence. They probably don’t even know either other and are as stunned as I am to discover this name thing.

The money that Lyssa Seale donated went to only one candidate:  Jason Issac, a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives, who just ran for congress and came in 4th place – a distant fourth. So, Lyssa might as well have put her money in a sack and set it on fire.

However, I imagine that both Kevin E. Stuart and Kevin D. Stuart are probably pretty happy. Maybe they should get together for a drink.

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