The New York Magazine asks ….

Yeah, no kidding.

And their bottom line?

It has been frequently noted that the president is molding the party in his nationalist, populist, authoritarian image. He is likewise molding its governing class after his own personal business ethos.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up.

Houston has a congressional race that’s flippable.  The congressroach who we need to take down is Republican John Culberson.

His Democratic opponent is a wonder.  Her name is Lizzy Fletcher and she is one badass Texas woman.

Culbertson is a good ole boy, a Trump supporter, and slicker than snot on a doorknob.  Honey, he’s so crooked that when he dies, we’ll have to screw him in the ground.

Well, the tables just got tilted a little.  Okay, maybe tilted is too tame a word.  An elephant shot from a nuclear submarine landed on one end.

You’ve heard already that Republican Congressman Chris Collins  was arrested for insider trading this morning.

Well, guess who is tighter than skin on a sausage with Collins?

Our boy Culbertson.

Rep. John Culberson (R-TX): The Texas Republican claimed he heard about Innate from media reports, but as the Houston Chronicle noted, it’s not clear which. At the time of his purchase, Innate was described as “a tiny pharmaceutical company from Australia that has no approved drugs and no backing from flashy venture capital firms.” The Chronicle pointed out that Culberson’s past investment history does not square with his purchase of biotech stocks and his opponent, a research physician, has wondered what led Culberson to invest, “since at the time he bought it in January there had been no published research articles or significant clinical trial updates on the drug, known as MIS416.”

And, just to add the cherry on top, another Texas Republican Congressman is being looked at.

Somebody pass the popcorn and the champagne.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Well, well, well …

Republicans declared victory late Tuesday in a still-unresolved race for a solidly red congressional district in Ohio, a contest that exposed growing concern over the vulnerabilities in President Trump’s governing coalition.

Okay, so none the Enemies of the People, like CBS, CNN, The New York Times, and NPR, are calling the race.  Hell, even the Only Friend of the People, FOX News, hasn’t called it.

I do, however, suspect the Kremlin did.  After all, they have more access to the results than even the Ohio Secretary of State.

And by gawd, he doesn’t disappoint.

Talking on Fox News about the new proposed Space Force.

“I don’t think we can afford not to do this… whoever controls space, controls planet Earth… we have got to get back to where we can defend our country in space.”

And then in the clip right under this one, he thinks he’s Capitan Kirk and starts quoting Star Trek.

Oh Lord.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

When Trump got elected and I said he’s gonna kill us all, I thought he was going to get us into a nuclear war, and he still may, it’s still early in his term.

But, I have changed my mind – he’s gonna kill us all with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Get a load of this crapola.

I am not jacking with you.  Asbestos is back and it’s just as deadly.  There is no Clean Coal and there is no Breathable Asbestos.  Maybe they’re making it in refreshing mint flavor, I dunno, but I ain’t breathing that stuff.

Now, here comes the best part.  Wanna know who makes the most asbestos?

As the world’s largest exporter of asbestos, the Russian company Uralasbest operates an enormous open mine nearly half the size of Manhattan in a mountainous town 900 miles northeast of Moscow, according to the Center for Public Integrity.

And guess whose picture is stamped on their pallets of asbestos?

Aw, come on – this ain’t hard.  This is like second grade math. Follow the money.  It’s at the end of the dead bodies.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

My county’s Republican Party sends out emails from their candidate for congress, Pete Olson.

Pete is a big damn buddy of the recently pardoned Dinesh D’Souza, who is not only a convicted felon with no remorse, but also a butthead.

Now here’s part of Pete’s email the local Republican Party Chairman  sent out —

Inspired by the turbulent events of post-2016 presidential election America, Dinesh D’Souza’s Death of a Nation reveals an eerie similarity between the situations faced by President Trump now and the situations faced by President Lincoln in 1860. The film demonstrates how Trump can use the example of Lincoln to shut down the Democratic plantation once and for all.”

Here’s a little secret.  I live in the most diverse county in the nation.  We are edging-up on being a quarter white, a quarter Asian, a quarter black, and a quarter Hispanic.

So maybe the local Republicans might want to steer clear of using words like “planation” when every damn Republican candidate to win the primary in this county is white.  Every damn one of them.  Not even somebody with a good tan.  They all look like they arrived on a damn flight out of Sweden.

They haven’t done a picture of all their candidates together because it’s so damn embarrassing, but here’s their headquarters opening.

And our’s.

And our’s are nicer people, too.  Plus, there’s far more ta-tas.
