Trump is Twittering today —

This is from the same guy who hired a private investigator to go to Hawaii to find Present Barack Obama’s birth certificate?

And, hey, aren’t 17 women accusing you of harassment?

This is from the same guy who watched people chant, “Jews will not replace us,” and then said they were “very fine people.”

This is United States Congressman Clay Higgins, Louisiana’s answer to Louie Gohmert.

He came to a congressional hearing dressed like he was late to be groomsman at a hillbilly wedding.

And he said that he didn’t know who Michael Cohen was until last week.  And he didn’t have any smart questions. And, considering that he consumed several beers during one teevee interview, he may well have been drunk.

He’s an ex-cop and says he’s all law and order, claiming he has arrested “thousands of men.”

Well, he forgot one.  His congressional aide was arrested on human trafficking charges. District Director Jerod Prunty and his lady friend were apparently running several massage parlors where they messaged in all the right places.

Prunty’s arrest was the result of an expansive, 17-month long investigation undertaken by the Lafayette Sheriff’s Department. “Deputies served warrants at five massage parlors and three residences in a coordinated sting on Feb. 12, (Sheriff Mark) Garber said,” according to The Daily Advertiser. “The raid was the result of the first phase of the investigation, he said, and it’s not over.”

They seized $50,000 in cash and several cars.

Now you’d think an ex-cop would ask someone if they dabbled in human trafficking before hiring them to work in congress.  Yeah, apparently he was drunk then, too.

Thanks to Quaker Granny for the heads up. 

This morning, Jennifer Rubin laments to loss of dignity and honor among Republican men.  You know those guys – Cruz, Rubio, Graham, and the other pathetic men who know for a fact that they would have had a conniption fit if Barack Obama had pulled any emergency powers stunt like Trump, but they are too scared to say anything.

After all, a Trump scorned calls people names. It’s easier not to be called names than to stand up to man who favors dictators over Americans.

Rubin writes —

Unfortunately, if they are remembered at all, it will be for their docility in the face of an authoritarian president and for their willingness to disregard their oaths for the security of another term or a gig on Fox News after retirement or a cheesy award from some right-wing group. These are cheap dates and small men.

Which brings me to why I am afraid of impeachment. Do we really want the smallest man of them all – Mike Pence – stepping into that slot with all the power he would inherit from Trump coupled with his religious fervor?

And I am especially grateful that my Party has people with guts, and that merrily, many of them standing toward the front are young women of color.  No cheap dates or small anything among them.

Hey, you know what’s wonderful?  Back in Nixon’s Day, you had to cut the witness list out of the newspaper and then drive to the library and then try to track down who all these people were because you knew for a damn fact that Huntley and Brinkley weren’t going to get to all them in one newscast.

Now, CNN has a cool place where you can radial dail each one in.

Or, a long list with links on most of them.  Let me know if you made the list.

Well, howdy doody.  I just got notification of breaking news from CNN —

The Judiciary Committee on Monday sent letters to 81 people and entities — including the White House, the Justice Department, senior campaign officials, Trump Organization officials and the President’s sons — marking the start of a broad investigation that will tackle questions that include possible obstruction of justice, hush-money payments to women, collusion with Russia and allegations of the President abusing his office and using it for personal gain.

Expect a Twitter explosion any minute now.

It seems to me that someone is very distracted by the Mueller and the House investigations, and it’s not me.

I am able to stay fully informed about the goings on investigating Trump.  I work a little, clean house, cook, visit with friends, babysit as much as any other grandma, do my banking, help out Bubba at the office, and other activities. I do not, however, have Executive Time. Trump can do one thing: obsess over investigations.

You know, if the Richmond police department were to come to me and tell me that they were investigating me and so was the sheriff’s office, I’d grin and reply that I wisely saved up enough money to pay misdemeanor fines in my elderly years because I want a colorful obituary. And then I’d be done with it. Because I know I haven’t committed any major crimes.

This week, Trump blamed his complete and total failure in North Korea on Cohen.

President Trump said Sunday that the congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer and fixer, was in part responsible for the collapse in negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear program last week — continuing to vent about the investigations encircling him and his associates.

What the hell did Cohen have to do with Trump’s inability to focus on the matter at hand?

I gotta be honest and tell you that I did not hear or see his speech this weekend. I hear it was self-indulgent, rambling, filled with spite, and pretty much insane. Honey, I do not need to see it.

I did, however, accidentally see a picture of him hugging the flag, looking like he wanted to make whoopee with it. It make me kinda sick.
