Michael Avenatti.  Let’s just say I haven’t signed on to his presidential campaign yet. If I do, send somebody to my house with some medicine or something.

Anyway, Avenatti says he was just informed by the FBI that he was on the Magabomber’s list. You know, the list of 100 people he wanted to send bombs to.  I think my Uncle Melvin is on that list.  I feel sure that Thelma is because she wakes up every morning, smiles at the delight that God has added another day for her. She put on her leopard print housecoat and fluffy pink house house shoes, pulls back her ruffled curtains, opens her brightly scrubbed bedroom window, smiles at the birds and then screams, “Screw You, Trump, You Nastyass Sumbitch.”

That’s gotta piss somebody off.

By the way, Avenatti owes $2.4 million to the IRS.  How do these guys get away with that?  Thelma once forgot to mail her $200 tax bill and they came and got her 1987 travel trailer.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

The Caravan; mobilizing 5,200 federal troops to the border; executive order to end birthright citizenship.  Besides the “…gleeful cruelty and dickishness,” as Jon Stewart describes Trump’s behavior, these moves are simply pandering to the Knuckledragger GOP Base to drive them to the polls. This “crisis” is, yes, I’m going to say it, “Trumped up” by Trump doing the bidding of his enfant terrible aide, Stephen Miller, resident white supremacist.  It’s all nonsense, based on lies and exaggeration.  On November 7, all this will go back into the normal background noise, just like in 2014 when the Ebola outbreak in the US and ISIS fighters on the border ceased to exist on November 5, the day after election day.

After much consideration and contemplation, I have determined that the American electorate is stupid.  It has to be whipped up into a frenzy to just go to the neighborhood polling place to cast a vote.  Apparently, politicians have figured out that scared voters are active voters.

Stupid.

Poor Ole drunk displaced Steve Bannon.  He goes from thinking he’s going to run the government to this so quickly.

Here he is in Topeka, Kansas, with his scruffy beard and barn coat trying to convince a dozen old people in the ballroom of the Holiday Inn.  A dozen people showed up.

Actually, I lied.  The official count was 17 people.

Only half of them could fit in the picture.

In his remarks, Bannon explained that his small rallies are an “intentional effort to make voter turnout a grassroots affair.”  Yeah, only these old guys showed up on purpose.  And from the looks of it, none of them even brought donuts.  Or chairs.

He also said that he’s very concerned that the GOP base won’t show up in Kansas.

Bless his heart.  It looks like he showered and used mouthwash and everything.

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.

Charlene, our foreign correspondent from the People’s Republic of Austin, send us proof of Betomania in Texas.

This is Beto’s headquarters in Austin on Wheless Lane in the Windsor Park neighborhood.   The artists are Dylan O’Conner and Jeff Gerdes.

Thanks to Charlene for the heads up.

They say there are caravans of troops passing through.  So, I guess Trump got his military parade after all.

The most loathsome individual to ever occupy the Oval Office …
