Trump told Politico that it would be “appropriate” for him to discuss opening an investigation of Joe Biden and his son Hunter with Attorney General Bill Barr.

I kid you not.

“Certainly it would be an appropriate thing to speak to him about, but I have not done that as of yet. … It could be a very big situation,” Trump said in a 15-minute telephone interview on Friday afternoon.

Barr also drew attention during his recent congressional testimony when he demurred on a question about whether anybody in the White House had ever suggested that he launch an investigation.

I completely understand that Bill Barr has never given Trump any reason whatsodamnever to believe that the Attorney General of the United States of America is not the president’s personal attorney, campaign manager, and in charge of dirty tricks.

But here’s the cool part – now that Trump told Politico, he doesn’t have to tell Barr. Barr can just read it and do his master’s bidding.

And now we know why Barr could not answer Kamala Harris.

Thelma thinks Barr is auditioning for a supreme court seat.

Thanks to Deb T. for the heads up.

The New York Times has an amazing article about a woman who stopped and rendered aid to three central American migrants on the Texas border.  She is Teresa Todd and she is the elected county attorney of Jeff Davis County.

Three teenagers flagged her down and she stopped to help. It was two young men and their sister. The sister was on the verge of death and the young men were not much better.

Struggling to communicate using her broken Spanish, Ms. Todd told the three young people to get out of the cold and into her car. She was phoning and texting friends for help when a sheriff’s deputy drove up, followed soon by the Border Patrol. “They asked me to step behind my car, and the supervisor came and started Mirandizing me,” said Ms. Todd, referring to being read her Miranda rights. “And then he says that I could be found guilty of transporting illegal aliens, and I’m, like, ‘What are you talking about?”

She spent 45 minutes in a holding cell that night and it appears they are going to charge her with transporting undocumented people.  They confiscated her cell phone and have put her on alert.  It’s a long story but it is worth your time to read.

Here’s my question:  If the Super DeLux Brand Christians can use their deeply held beliefs to be mean to gay people, why can’t I use my deeply held regular sinner Christian beliefs to be good to all people?  I never heard of Jesus saying to be mean and judgmental to gay people, but he was pretty damn clear on being a Good Samaritan.

It just pisses me off that we’ve let them steal our country, our religion, and our common decency.  They are a bunch of money hungry charlatans and some mullet wearing thugs who don’t begin to understand the teachings of Jesus or Thomas Jefferson.  Or they do just don’t damn care.

Sorry for the downer.  I’ll go look for something funny.

One more thing: Teresa Todd is a genuine star-studded damn Texas hero.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

I want to talk about Jim Jordan because I don’t like the guy. I don’t know exactly why I don’t like the guy but he makes my skin crawl. You know that person you meet and just damn instinctually they make the hair on the back of your neck stand up?  Jim Jordan.

I don’t like the nasty way he treated Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood. He tried to play gotcha over women’s lives.  I don’t like him.

Then there was his anti-semitic tweet about Jerry Nadler and Tom Steiner.

Fun Fact: He graduated law school but never passed the bar exam. I know glittering idiots who passed the bar exam. Good Lord, Louie Gohmert passed the bar exam.

His snotty behavior at yesterday’s Barr contempt hearing was unpleasant.

Maybe this is why he couldn’t pass the bar exam. He can’t read the law.

Another Fun Fact:  Jim Jordan loudly protests the word of several responsible people that he full well knew of sexual abuse on the Ohio State wresting team. Jordan said he never saw it or knew about it.

I just don’t like him.  Never have and always will.

Republican Texas State Representative, Jonathan Stickland, is my choice for this year’s Louie Gohmert Goofball award.

He’s a doozy.  Right here is living proof that he gave himself the title “Living Fetus” while serving Texas.

And that he certainly is proud of his second amendment rights.

Once his online alter-ego got uncovered, Stickland offered an apology for telling a fellow fantasy football site member that “rape is non existent in marriage, take what you want my friend!” in response to a 2008 request for sex advice on the forum.  Yeah, you read that right, he was giving sex advice.

He admits to being a major marijuana user but says he quit commenting, “by the Grace of God my past sins are forgiven.”

The way I see it, this boy gets himself saved quarterly which is akin to a renewable Get Out Of Jail Free card for his past sins the previous three months.  However, I think the Republican Party takes him down to the river and beats his head on a rock instead of dunking him. He just keeps getting dumber.

Now he’s railing against vaccines.  He attacked Texas doctors claiming they were “men in white coats who think they know more than parents do”  and only support vaccines because it makes them money.

“Make the case for your sorcery to consumers on your own dime,” tweeted Stickland. “Like every other business. Quit using the heavy hand of government to make your business profitable through mandates and immunity. It’s disgusting.”

Apparently, there is no vaccine against disgusting or the members of the legislature would have given him one by now.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
