As most of you know, our Attorney General is a damn crook who just hasn’t been convicted yet.

So, I was glad to see somebody up and form a PAC to help defeat him.

And a website to match.  Click here.

Justin Nelson is the Democrat running and he’s far more qualified than Paxton.

The nice thing about Justin Nelson is that he won’t try to steal your $1,000 pen.

Good Ole Boyism just won’t die.

The Victoria Advocate, a small town newspaper, has done a helluva job keeping up with this story.

Now it appears that the disgraced Republican congressvarmint used his political clout to help a campaign donor get federal contracts. And then the donor repaid Farenthold with a lucrative job at taxpayer expense after Farenthold  was forced to resign his congressional seat.

Since 2011, Boyd [chairman of the Calhoun Port Authority] has donated $17,800 to Farenthold. He had never donated to a federal political candidate before. And Boyd donated $5,000 to Farenthold’s campaign a day after the congressman’s office began arranging a meeting for him with the Corps, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Boyd also gave $3,250 to Brighter Future PAC, which lists Farenthold’s wife, Debbie, as the treasurer, on Oct. 13, 2016. Federal Elections Commission records show that the next day, the Brighter Futures PAC gave $2,500 to Bill Shuster for Congress [chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee], $2,500 to Issa for Congress.

Now that all the old white men’s palms have been greased, we can all celebrate what the old white men are calling “coincidence.”

In an interview Thursday with the Victoria Advocate, Boyd said his donation to Farenthold after his office arranged a meeting with the Corps was “coincidental.”

And by the way, dredging companies are hired by the port authority. The chairman of this port authority owns … a dredging company.  Nobody seemed to notice that until the newspaper got on the case.

Yeah, and Farenthold still owes us $84,000.

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

Y’all, if truth isn’t truth then what the fool tarnation is it? Macaroni? Wooly mammoth? A round-trip ticket to Franklin Graham’s sexual fantasies?

Oh, dear heavens, it’s kinda fun watching a guy come to pieces on the electric television.

And to make you feel even worse, Peter Wehner, who worked for the Reagan and both Bushes administrations, send his greetings.

Hey, we’ve got nuts governing us.  Have a nice Sunday!

Thanks to Deb T and SGray for the heads up!

Okay, so the Donald took to Twitter this morning and made a damn mess.

Let’s check it out.

The White House has a councel?  I don’t have a councel. Does anybody know where I can buy or borrow one?  I know he has one because he spelled it the same way in two different tweets this morning.  Maybe it’s a lawyer who sits on a city counsel?

And John Dean is a “rat?”  Yeah, I’m almost certain he is in Richard Nixon’s mind.  Nobody else, though.

John Dean replied:

Most importantly:

And that having nothing to hide deal … can we see your tax returns?

Okay, the transcript of Blake Farenthold’s deposition taken on August 1st concerning the lawsuit filed by the local newspaper about Blake’s new job at the port authority, has been released to the public.

You can read the whole disgusting thing right here.

Or, the Huffington Post underlined the good parts for you.

Blake has a new word: F-tards.  And under sworn deposition he says he doesn’t know what that word means.  I do! I do!  Call on me, Your Honor!  I know!

He also says he took one for the team. I guess he’s saying that the team is the Republican Party and he’s just doing what everyone else does.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
