The internet machine is spitting glitter over Bob Woodward’s new book, but this recorded interview between Trump and Woodward tells you exactly what you need to know about this heap of batcrap sitting in the White House.

Crazy on the phone.  I think it’s better if you listen rather than read the transcript.

I gotta tell you that nothing – not one damn thing – more easily proves that right-wingers are dumb than their reaction to things they want to protest.

I am told that we shouldn’t call them dumb because it makes them feel bad.  Crap, them being dumb makes me feel real bad.  They are destroying my country for one reason – they are dumb.

Look, if I don’t like Chik-fil-a’s political views, I don’t go to Chik-fil-a to eat.  What I don’t do is go to their restaurant, buy something to eat, and then take it outside and burn it or stomp on it or some damn thing. I understand that means they got my money and I got diddle-squat. I’m not dumb.

Remember when Yeti got crosshairs with the NRA and the dumb sumbitch NRA members went out and shot up their very expensive Yeti coolers?  Those things cost hundreds of dollars. They shot them full of holes and put it on YouTube.  Yeti got the money and the dumb people got fame that lasted, I dunno, maybe 36 hours?  Hell, Yeti coolers have a lifetime guarantee and that’s generally more than 36 hours.

Well, now they are all hacked-off at Nike for making Colin Kaepernick their poster man. So, they are burning their shoes. I know the pictures of the man burning the Nike shoes while they are still on his feet is fake but it’s a testament to how dumb Republicans are that millions of people believed it. They are that dumb.

I’m still not going to buy Nike shoes because they are made in sweatshops. But, I will stand in awe of the amount of stoopid that can be housed in one group of people.

Grassley just stated that approving Kavanaugh is a way to atone for the treatment of both Judge Robert Bork and Justice Clarence Thomas!

You want atonement for two horrible mistakes on your side?  Go to church.  You want democracy? Release his papers and give us time to read them.

Grassley, you’re a jerk.

Texas Republican Representative John Culberson represents a large area of Houston.  Hillary carried his district two years ago and he knows he’s vulnerable.

He also has learned that he ain’t bulletproof.

Culberson is a big military memorabilia collector.  They figure that he’s bought and sold more than $1.3 million in antiques an collectables since 2010. Democrats see the opportunity for hanky-panky here,  because personal collections are exempt from congressional financial reporting. What if he’s buying a rock for $5 and then selling it to a supporter who has already maxed-out donations to Culberson?  What if he’s selling that rock for $10,000?

Additionally, there’s $33,000 in weird charges to Culberson’s campaign account.

In all, they document $32,981 in expenses reported as “books” and “research materials” since 2009, as well as $17,000 on gifts, including antiques and military collectibles, since 2004. More than $5,000 was spent on Civil War memorabilia since 2010.

My personal favorite was the $309 purchase at a place that sells fossils.  Yeah, rocks.  Other than throwing them at some other old fossils to see if they stick, it’s hard to see how buying rocks is a legitimate campaign expense. Culberson’s staff has an answer.

Culberson’s aides explained the purchase as research material on paleo-climatology, a subject that would help him understand climate science for his position on an appropriations subcommittee that oversees the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Culberson does not believe in climate change.  How’s a rock gonna help that?  The rocks in his brain don’t help much at all.

He’s a mess.

You know how when you walk up to the top of the stairs and then stand there and wonder, “Now why did I come up here?” That’s the way Trump feels all the time.

But, you know, he has people all around him who tell him why he climbed the stairs.  Or got in the car.

He was wearing a golf tee shirt and a MAGA hat.

When asked, Sarah Sanders said, “The President stayed at the WH to make calls specifically on trade and other international issues.”

Oh right, and I came up the stairs to do brain surgery.

Most people think he came outside and realized it was too hot to play golf.

Thanks to Gray for the heads up.
