I want to tell y’all a story.

Omarosa claims that Trump eats paper.  She saw him did do it.

I was relieved to hear this. I have often referred to the Trump administration as a goat rodeo and now I have verifiable proof of that.

There used to be a goat who got elected mayor of Lajitas, Texas.  Lajitas is near the Big Bend. His name was Clay Henry and legend has it that he won the election because his only opponent was some guy from Houston.  Lajitas is in far west Texas and back in the early 90’s they had a 9 hole golf course that was partially in America and partially in Mexico.  They called it the Lajitas International Golf Course and Resort. Except there wasn’t any resort. To say it was a little rough is like saying New York City is a little big.

Anyway, the goat’s name was Clay Henry and he was the mayor of Lajitas. There was a saloon where you could buy a longneck and give it to Clay Henry.  You just stuck out the bottle and Clay Henry would take it from you and guzzle it.  Damnest thing you’ve ever seen and it delighted the little kids who stood in line to give Clay Henry a beer. It is said that Clay Henry didn’t drink any more than any other West Texas mayor and they are more than likely right. I’m speaking from first hand experience about all this.

Clay Henry, who is now referred to as Texas’ only Beer Drinking Dead Goat, met his end at the head butting of his son, Clay Henry II.

I’m just saying, we should be so lucky with Trump.

Trump sits down with the Wall Street Journal in an “impromptu” meeting at the White House and makes me crazy.

First he says that his tariffs will help the American Steelworkers in the long run.  Well, that’s a guess.  Right now the tariffs are killing steel.  But, I kinda suspect that Trump has been told that steel has something to do with the Russia inquiry so it has to go, too.

Next, he covers his secret plan to win the midterms. He says Republicans will win.

“As long as I can get out and campaign, I think they’re going to win, I really do. It’s a lot of work for me. I have to make 50 stops, it’s a lot. So, there aren’t a lot of people that can do that, physically. Fortunately, I have no problem with that.”

Hold back there, Dumpy, you can’t walk a damn golf course.

And then get this.  Asked if his The Big Hoopla Tour might energize Democrats, Trump responds.

“It may. But it energizes my people much more than it energizes them. I think the Democrats give up when I turn out. If you want to know the truth, I don’t think it energizes them. I think it de-energizes them. I think they give up when I turn out.”

Yeah, he saps the precious bodily fluids right out of us.

Damn, maybe we should make English the official language.

So Republican Bekah Halat is running for the Alaska State Senate.

Bekah is damn mess.

Halat and her husband, Jarek Halat, were charged last week with one count of felony theft for allegedly collecting more than $10,000 in food stamps that they shouldn’t have qualified for. They also face one misdemeanor charge for misleading a public servant.

Yeah, they were both working, living in a $280,000 house and paying a $2,000 a month mortgage, but they really needed that extra $662. a month for food. So, they lied about their income.

I expect Republicans to steal.  Hell, that’s almost something they list with pride on their campaign materials for the primary.

But, the Republican behavior is what I find amusing.  Halat blamed her opponent for her theft.  She claimed the criminal charges (which say she admitted to being dishonest and asked to repay the food stamps) were “false allegations from those trying to steal the election.”

“People have learned a lot about me, but there’s a lot more they have to learn if they think I’m going to just curl up in a ball and let someone else represent me and my district through attacking my family.”

Shuddup.  Just shuddup.

Thanks to slipstream for the heads up.

Well, North Dakota seems intent on turning their schools into macho-man battlegrounds.

Bismarck Public Schools and the Bismarck Police Department plan to share the cost of purchasing nearly $26,000 worth of AR-15s, gun safes, additional bulletproof vests and medical kits, the Bismarck Tribune reported.

And they are going to give this stuff to the school’s “resource officers.”  I think they mean “prison guards.”

The resource officers already carry handguns but handguns “won’t help if they need to shoot from a distance.”  So, they need AR-15s.  Because they’re going to be running away?  Or is it just more fun to use an automatic weapon when there will likely be children between the gunman and the officer?

Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.

Remember the United the Right Rally in Washington, DeeCee, where the crowd of white supremacists were in the dozens?  Okay, maybe two dozens.

That mess cost the taxpayers of Dee Cee $2.6 million dollars. They figure that’s about $86,000 a racist, which, best I can figure, is about 4 times their yearly income, which makes it kinda like racist welfare.

Here’s the stumper …

The money came from the federally funded Emergency Planning and Security Fund, which reimburses DC agencies for costs that relate to the city being the nation’s capital.

So, actually, that was your taxes paying for that stuff.

Thanks to S Gray for the heads up.

Remember the cold war when the Republicans were hollering “Better dead than red!”

Yeah, well, I do, too.  I think they changed their mind about that.  So, what time is better than now to remind voters that Republicans have gone all Russian commie on us?

Is anybody else’s county Republican Party using anything else that damn dumb?
