Remember the New York lawyer who chewed out a worker for speaking Spanish?

I never spent $10 that felt so good.

Check it out.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Oh, y’all, thank God for Louisiana because, Honey, they make the Texas Legislature look good.

Earlier this week, two members of the Louisiana legislature got into a fist fight over at a downtown Baton Rouge bar.  Oddly enough, or maybe not so damn oddly at all, they are both Republicans. They were arguing over a bill pending in the legislature.

They say they are good friends and things “just got out of control,” and they started punching each other.  They didn’t mention it, but I imagine Jose Cuervo helped.

Bishop said the fight was over a bill to alter the make-up of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board. Chabert’s bill, Senate Bill 433, would grant voting power to two legislative members on the executive-branch board, which Bishop changed through amendment.

“Bottom line is that it was about that we were going to do something that I deemed unethical in letting the legislative process step over the executive process, and I was not ever going to put my committee members in that position,” Bishop said.

Yeah, putting members of the legislature on an executive-branch board probably isn’t a good idea, and I back that up by pointing out, Holy crap, they got into a damn fist fight at a bar. It’s probably not a great idea to put any two members of the legislature in the same room.

Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards probably shook his damn head before saying …”It doesn’t exactly reflect well on the House or Senate or state government, but I think it’s something we can all get past.”

(Heavy sigh) White boys.  What ‘cha gonna do?

Thanks to Mark for the heads up.

It seems like a decent white American can’t even organize a riot anymore.

Jason Kessler is one of the white supremacists who helped organize the ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Charlottesville last summer.  He is trying to have another one.  But nobody wants to come and Charlottesville doesn’t want them even if they did.

That’s kind of a problem.

The city of Charlottesville says nope, not here, because of public safety concerns.  And then drawing a crowd seems to be weirdly hard.

Michael Hill, the president of white supremacist group League of the South – which brought a sizeable contingent of supporters to Unite the Right last year – announced in a podcast last week that his group would not be in attendance.

Other white nationalists such as Richard Spencer and Brad Griffin told Newsweek they were not likely to attend. Alt-right podcaster Mike Peinovich also bowed out, citing the “violent attacks” that white supremacists suffered last year at the hands of “antifa thugs”.

Snowflakes.

Oh yeah, so much white supremacist suffering.  Two weeks ago, one of the real thugs at Charlottesville was found guilty of beating up someone and faces 20 years in prison.

Meanwhile, Kessler is suing Charlottesville for his 1st amendment rights.  But, he says that if that doesn’t work out, they’ll have it at the White House.  Oh, that’s an idea. Trump thinks you’re fine people.  Yeah, go have it there.  Great idea.

Thanks to Sarah for the heads up.

Instead of watching Fox News, just go read Trump’s tweets. A friend of mine who Twitters just called and told me that President O’Drama was having a sarcastic conniption fit on Twitter this morning.

He seems to be having hourly sanity rejection episodes.

Meanwhile …

‘cuz he’s too busy watching teevee.

Now, this is interesting.

Trump released his financial disclosure forms and, sure ’nuff, it shows that Trump “paid his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, back for an expense listed at between “$100,001–250,000.”

I wonder if that’s …. oh yeah, you know it is.

You can look at that particular page by clicking right here.

Trump’s lawyer says that omitting this from the previous report was not a lie or anything, they just didn’t count it as a liability because … well, because they say it isn’t.

The former Director of the Department of Government Ethics replied that this is “tantamount to a criminal referral.”

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
