Alex Jones = 0, Loud Mouthed Lawyers = Win Again

You may have heard that Roku, which is some kind of weird gadget that you put on your teevee to watch stuff, decided to schedule Alex Jones on their device.

And all was well in the kingdom, for about 3 whole damn hours.  Then everything went to hell in a handbasket.

Roku issued a statement after everybody on Twitter went nuts. And some people even called Roku themselves …

Mark Bankston, another lawyer for Sandy Hook families, described Roku as “indifferent to the suffering caused by Mr. Jones’s continued onslaught of cruelty and reckless lies.”

Roku dumped Alex Jones.

 

Yea Nancy

Okay, so Nancy Pelosi asked Trump to move the State of the Union address because there’s a big ole CLOSED sign hanging on government doors, including the House.

While Pelosi’s letter is framed as a request to find a new date, the decision of when to host the President is very much up to the speaker of the House. The House and the Senate have to pass resolutions to actually green light the State of the Union. Neither have done so yet and Pelosi controls whether the House passes one at all.

Elections have consequences.  So does shutting down the government.

Poor ole Trump, that boy doesn’t know whether to scratch his watch or wind his ass.

 

Thank You, Captain Obvious

Guys, I know this is going to come as a stunning shock to you, but ….

President Donald Trump and the Republicans’ tax cut is proving to be vastly more generous for corporate America, and vastly more expensive for taxpayers, than expected.

Bloomberg is estimating that the S&P 500 companies will save $600 billion, adding that to the national debt or squeezing it out of taxpayers.

They are talking a “13 digit savings” for big business if this continues.  This is what 13 digits looks like. 0,000,000,000,000 They have to say “13 digit” because there is no term to put after it and wowzillion sounds stoopid.

 

No, No, Not NATO

Our friend Deb T. sent me a picture this morning of Harry S Truman proudly signing the NATO treaty in 1949.  Truman, of course, was not Putin’s puppet.  He was not a fake president.

 

 

I just wanted to remind you what a real president looks like.

 

 

Well, Yeah

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census is unlawful.

Just add that to the list of Trump’s Unlawful Things, Skippy.

The purpose of the census is to know how many people are here, not to bring in ICE trucks and round up people Trump thinks we need to throw out.  It’s also an opportunity to deny political representation to Hispanics.

 

Watching Barr

January 15, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I am working today and watching the teevee to see if I cuss Lindsey Graham or William Barr first.

I have five Nerf balls to throw at the screen.  I’m betting that lasts maybe 15 minutes or so.

I am also watching the three Democrats – Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker – who are running for president try to distinguish themselves from the pack.

Give me strength, Lord.

On edit:  Okay, I just used three Nerf balls within the first three minutes of Lindsey Graham.  He’s just reading Trump’s tweets.
