Is This Right? This Couldn’t Be Right. I Must Be Confused.

What I thought I heard is that Donald Trump wants the ACLU to clean up the mess he made by separating children from their parents just out of meanness.

He had no plan to reunited them but he thinks the ACLU has a magic 8 ball and better access to information than the US government?

No, that couldn’t be right.   I’m sure I misheard that.

 

The NRA is Going Broke

I’m not real sure about this because I truly don’t know much about the New York insurance regulatory agencies, but any time I real “The NRA is going broke,” I smile.

The gun group has been suing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state’s financial regulators since May, claiming the NRA has been subject to a state-led “blacklisting campaign” that has inflicted “tens of millions of dollars in damages.”

Best I can figure out, New York is saying that the NRA cannot market insurance policies to pay your legal bills if you burt or kill someone with your gun.  Anyway, the NRA is yelling that the sky is falling and I’m looking for my pick-axe to help it along.

You can read all about it here, but no matter, I hope they lose.

My thought to reduce guns is to require real liability insurance for every gun you own.  You know, like they now require it for cars.  That way, you end up with a big fight between the NRA and big insurance.  I wanna watch that fight.

 

Oh Dear.

Republican Illinois state Rep. Nick Sauer is a bit of a slime ball with a damn cherry on top.

Sauer posted pictures of his ex-girlfriend in her birthday suit on Instagram and used them to catfish other men into graphic sexual discussions. I know, slimy.

But, here’s the cherry on top.

Sauer, a member of the state House Sexual Discrimination and Harassment Task Force, is a self-described “fiscal hawk” who supports term limits and transparency in government, according to his website.

Yeah, you read that right.  He’s a member House Sexual Discrimination and Harassment Task Force.  I suspect he got on that committee because he’s a practical use expert.

So many Republican freaks, so little time.

Thanks to Robert for the heads up.

I Think It Might Be More Than Cough Syrup

August 03, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Todd Kincannon, the 37 year old former head of the South Carolina Republican Party, has been in trouble with the law.

In 2015, Kincannon was arrested for threatening his wife and locking her in his car. He blamed the incident on being under the influence of cough syrup.

This is the same guy who said that anyone who comes in contact with someone who has Ebola should be immediately executed.

Well, things have gone downhill, he was arrested for killing his mother’s 10 year old beagle with his bare hands and then stabbing it repeatedly with two kitchen knives.

His explanation this time?

“I’m the second coming of Christ and I got a command from God to do it,” the former GOP official said.

So, basically the same one Donald Trump is using.

 

I Bring You Good Tidings of Great Joy

Okay, I’m home.  Mark is pleased with the hearings on both days, but if the judge doesn’t, Mark will appeal. I know this child and I can guaran-damn-tee you that he’s persistent.

The first thing I was greeted with this morning is that the liberal donation organization that I use to raise money just broke all records.  Act Blue (where you donated for the ballot by mail program) says they have already hit their all-time fundraising mark this election cycle of one billion – with a damn B – dollars.

The group predicts donations will top $1.5 billion by year’s end, double the amount the fundraising clearinghouse processed in the 2016 election cycle. By comparison, it took ActBlue nearly 12 years — from its founding in June 2004 until March 2016 — to raise its first $1 billion.

The average donation this cycle: $34.

Small donations are funding the resistance.

And you had something to do with that.
