Since anybody can file anything at the FEC, we have a new one.

Just in case some heathen takes it down, I made a screen shot for you. (Click the little one to see the big one.)

I think Mother has already hired Hobby Lobby to decorate the Oval Office by painting scripture on the walls.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

I dunno, but it makes me nervous that Business Insider wants me to know ….

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers a few dos and don’ts that citizens should remember in case a nuclear explosion were to take place. One practice to avoid at all costs is using conditioner in your hair, since conditioner can act like a glue between your hair and radioactive material.

Well see, I need that information. Once nuclear material fries my hair, my first thought would be, “Get me some conditioner!”  Hair dressers are like that. So, now that I know, I truly do hope there’s not a reason the CDC thinks we need this information right now.

Thanks to S Gray for the heads up.

We all remember it – in the sunup to the 2016 Trump lied thousands of times over 6 years that Barack Obama was not born in the US.  The lie was outrageous, silly, and debunked before he spread it, but it didn’t matter to him.  Subscribing to Joseph Goebbel’s philosophy, of “The Big Lie“, Trump repeats his lies in a continuous loop no matter how outrageous, and the list is long; from his lies about immigrants, the border, the economy, environment, nonexistent voter fraud, the Clinton Foundation, and even the weather, no lie is too big for Trump. If it serves his purpose, lying is his first and only offensive tactic.

Carrying that tactic to 2020, you can read the roadmap.  It’s pretty obvious that Biden is the leading and strongest candidate against Trump, and he knows it.  That’s why 14 months out from the election Trump has implemented the strategy of the Big Lie.  And that Big Lie is that Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden engaged in years of corruption and coverup of corruption with the government of Ukraine.  Never mind that there is ZERO evidence of any corruption or scandal; Trump and his henchmen have been prosecuting an offensive and defensive war against Biden, one to smear the Democratic frontrunner, and other to cover up the actual scandal, which is Trump and Giuliani soliciting the assistance of a foreign power to help him defeat an American political opponent.

Trump breathed life into the latest Big Lie today at the UN when he denied any wrongdoing in seeking foreign assistance in the next election by lying about the conversation saying he was withholding aid to Ukraine BECAUSE of the non-existent corruption between Biden and the government of Ukraine.  Did you see it?  Trump brushed aside his actual corruption by spinning the lie that he was actually trying to get Ukraine to stop helping Biden.  The notion of this lie is laughable, but it’s  not.  This is how it starts.  The echo chamber will pick it up, just like they picked up the birther lie, the Benghazi lie, the voter fraud lie, and even the weather lie.  By tomorrow, normal people will be slacked jawed when Trump’s bullshit will transform into an article of faith for his sycophants.

This WILL happen, and Biden’s team needs to be ready to aggressively call Trump’s bullshit uh, bullshit.

The New York Times Opinion page has 40 Reasons To Dump Trump.

See if you can find more.

Personally, I don’t like how his neck doesn’t work right, but the New York Times doesn’t mention that.

Just the facts – in 40 sentences.

Thanks to Bruce for the heads up.

Okay, so here’s the deal.  Trump is saying that he will “consider” releasing a transcript of the conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  Yeah, just like he’s considering releasing his tax returns.

And I know you’re gonna think I’m just being mean about this but, I dunno, I just just don’t trust Trump to release an accurate transcript. Especially since he describes the conversation as “perfect.” I have never in my entire life had a perfect telephone conversation except for that one time I told County Commissioner Johnny Putska to blow it out his ear and he thought I said, “Blow away a deer,” and that confused the hell outta him since it wasn’t even deer season. He went around telling people that a proper Texas woman should know things like the dates of deer season so, obviously, I wasn’t a proper woman, which gave me the excuse to write about it in the damn newspaper to clear up the record of my properness.  Johnnie was mad about that for about 15 years because his Momma read the newspaper.  He said I made him look foolish in front of his mother. I assured him that his mother already knew he was foolish and had told me as much.

Wait, wait, one more perfect conversation, I called Johnnie about six months later to ask him about pay raises Commissioners gave themselves.  He said, “I am not talking to you unless there’s witnesses so from now on “all our talking will be in writing.”  I replied, “Johnnie, what the hell good would that do? I know you can’t hear but you can’t read either, so can I send smoke signals?”  He got madder than a wet hen.

So, anyway – I seriously doubt that Trump can be trusted.

I’m operating under the theory that he’s admitted that he is in cahoots with a foreign government to hurt a political opponent and he shot a guy on Main Street and his supporters think all that is fine and dandy.

Screw phone transcripts.
