She Didn’t Know, Y’all

Okay, so Ivanka got caught using a private email server just like … we’ll, you know.

Here’s my favorite part

Some aides were startled by the volume of Ivanka Trump’s personal emails — and taken aback by her response when questioned about the practice. Trump said she was not familiar with some details of the rules, according to people with knowledge of her reaction.

Her lawyer says that all this happened before Ivanka had been “briefed on all the rules.”

So she wasn’t listening to her Dad during the campaign.  Can’t say I blame her.

 

Lock Her Up! Lock Her Up!

The Washington Post is reporting that WH ethics officials have discovered that Ivanka Trump has sent “hundreds of emails” about official government business using a private email address from a domain shared with…wait for it…husband Jared Kushner.  That’s right, folks, Miss I Get Everything I Want from Daddy and China has been using a private email server for official government business since 2017.  When interviewed about her practice of using a private email server, WH officials were surprised at her ignorance about federal laws governing the use of email communications, especially in light of the fact that her spray painted father made such a gigantic issue of Hillary Clinton’s use of private email when she was Secretary of State during the Obama administration.

Rather than going apeshit over Ivanka’s use of private email, I expect Trumpland to respond to this scandal with a “What? What’s the big deal?” response.  Hypocrisy is not in Trumpland’s lexicon.

Praise the Lord and Watch the Democrats Burn in Hell

Ed Young is the head pastor of Houston’s Second Baptist Church.  Second Baptist Church has about 65,000 members across five campuses. It has an annual budget of $53 million. Young races between the “campuses” on his own personal helicopter.

A few years ago, a family won a giant lawsuit against Second Baptist because one of the youth ministers was messing around with little girls. It soon came out that the church knew about it and pawned the youth minister off on another church just to hide him out.

From his wide experiences with the ungodly, Pastor Ed Young passed judgement.

For white Christian Republican pastors stung by election results, it is no longer enough to just say Democrats are wrong.

The Democratic Party is “basically godless,” a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention said in defeat on election night.

Young made it clear that this applied to “every Democrat I know.”  Which, considering that he lives in Houston means he does get out much. Young’s favorite Republic congressman, John Culbertson, lost and every judicial seat was won by a Democrat.

So, maybe he’s preaching to the wind?

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Grab His iPhone!

Remember when Trump denied that he used his personal iPhone to tweet and sent the denial from his personal iPhone?  I loved that.

Now, I’m wondering if this misspelling of Adam Schiff is purposeful or if he’ll deny that, too.

 

 

By the way, I don’t think he knows what conflicted means.  And, he sent it from his iPhone just after midnight.

And, he doesn’t understand the different between a special prosecutor and the attorney general.

Thanks to Jan for the heads up.

Bingo! That’s The Exact Color.

I Think We Just Found What it Takes…

November 18, 2018 By: El Jefe Category: California Fires, Trump, wildfires

Most of us normal people regularly ask the question, “What is it going to take to get Trumpists to turn against him?”  Thousands of lost jobs from his trade war didn’t do it; his sucking up to Vladimir Putin and other despots didn’t do it; North Korea caught building more nukes didn’t do it; roller coaster markets didn’t do it; his continuous lying didn’t do it;  his globally embarrassing performance at the Paris Armistice Day ceremony didn’t do it; not showing up for Veterans’ Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery didn’t do it; his incessant sophomoric tweeting didn’t do it; 22 indictments, 5 guilty please, and 8 convictions of his cronies didn’t do it;  it’s seems that NOTHING gets through.

Until yesterday.  Yesterday, Trump, while visiting wildfire ravaged California with Gavin Newsom and Jerry Brown,  Trump babbled really stupid shit about Finland and raking forest floors.  He made these idiotic statements on national television in the wake of thousands of destroyed homes and businesses, over 70 confirmed deaths and more than A THOUSAND people missing.  Apparently, we’ve found the limit; doing that is what it takes to turn Trumpists against him.  Kirk Ellsworth, whose family suffered catastrophic losses in the destruction of Paradise, California, responded to Trumps idiocy, saying:

“My kids lost everything. I voted for him – and now? He can kiss my red ass.  What he said was ridiculous. It hurts my heart. A lot of us voted for him and he [talks] down to us?”

There you have it.  Apparently for Trumpists to see the light, they (and their families) have to suffer catastrophic personal losses before the scales fall from their eyes so they can see the light.  Such is the totality of the delusions of the Trumpist hoard.
