Okay, so Rick Perry is resigning. Then he’s gonna squeal like a pig.
Then just as I am digesting that news, along comes Mick …
White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney made a stunning admission Thursday by confirming that President Donald Trump froze nearly $400 million in US security aid to Ukraine in part to pressure that country into investigating Democrats.
So, Trump is guilty. Lock him up.
Things appear to be rolling pretty fast now, because Trump just tweeted that he saved civilization.
What? We get five days to get the hell outta Dodge for a problem he created in the first place and he’s dancing around the wrestling ring in his red silk shorts?
I go to get my driver’s license renewed and wait in line for 2 hours and civilization gets saved? That doesn’t seem fair. I should get to be there to see it.
I want some red silk shorts.
Vanity Fair has an article about some stock market weirdness.
It appears that somebody has insider information with S&P e-minis, electronically trade futures contracts linked to the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index. I’m gonna fess up that Momma left me some stock – just regular stock that has done nothing but drop since the day I got it. Other than just regular stock, I might as well be putting my money in a slot machine because I just don’t understand the stock market.
Traders in the Chicago pits have been watching these kinds of wagers with an increasing mixture of shock and awe since the start of the Trump presidency. They are used to rapid fluctuations in the S&P 500 index; volatility is common, of course. But the precision and timing of these trades, and the vast amount of money being made as a result of them, make the traders wonder if all this is on the level. Are the people behind these trades incredibly lucky, or do they have access to information that other people don’t have about, say, Trump’s or Beijing’s latest thinking on the trade war or any other of a number of ways that Trump is able to move the markets through his tweeting or slips of the tongue? Essentially, do they have inside information?
We’re not talking about people making pocket change. One particularly hinkey looking trade netted a potential profit of $1.5 billion. The others are millions. Honey, those trades are standing out like black roots on bleach blonde hair.
Trump is the swamp.
Donald J Trump, Jr. is powerfully upset about Hunter Biden. So upset that he went on Sean Hannity and said,
“When you’re the father and your son’s entire career is dependent on that, they own you.”
Mirrors cracked in the entire zip code of Sean Hannity’s show.
How can you do that? How can you not know that you’d be an assistant manager at Office Depot except for having your Dad’s name? Your brother would be stocking shelves there.
I don’t get it. Is there a self awareness gene? Why didn’t the Trump family have any?
Yes, I saw Nancy Pelosi addressing Trump in the cabinet room.
Yes, I saw Trump’s whiny boy face.
Yes, I saw the Triad of Shame.
Yes, I saw Kevin McCarthy holding on to the table with both hands to keep from sliding under it.
But mostly I saw a room filled with white men. Speaker Pelosi was the only hooter toter in the entire room. There were no people of color deciding American policy. Y’all, we just gotta change that.
Y’all, he’s full of so much crap and leaving such a damn mess behind that he’s like a hurricane with a dictionary.
Trump’s letter to Erdogan.
Click here to see the big one.
Okay, okay, who the hell wrote this B Grade Mafia movie? Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool? Who talks like that?
However, the best is: I will call you later. (to apologize?)
