Justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh decided it would be a great idea to meet privately with some folks who sponsor and ferment hate.

The man on the far right of the picture (and also in real life) is Brian S Brown, founder of the National Organization for Marriage.  The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies another of Brown’s anti-LGBTQ groups as a hate group.  His NOM group rallies across the country fear mongering against marriage equality.

So a photo of Brown with two Supreme Court Justices is troubling, especially since the Court is currently considering three cases related to LGBTQ rights: Bostock v. Clayton County, Altitude Express v. Zarda, and R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. EEOC. NOM filed amicus briefs in those cases, asking the Court to reject LGBTQ equality.

These two judges should recuse themselves on those cases. They won’t.

It’s so much more fun to flaunt it in our faces and shove their hate down our throats.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Would somebody please boo Louisiana Senator John Kennedy if you see him? He spoke at the Trump rally last night.

“In three short years, President Trump has doubled the growth in the greatest economy in all of human history. And do you know what our Democratic friends have done for him? Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to impeach him.”

“I don’t mean any disrespect, but it must suck to be that dumb.”

Now even assuming that extremely rich people making more money is far more important than anything else, by Kennedy’s logic Trump could start shooting people as long as the stock market is okay.

And the only reason that Kennedy knows “it must suck to be that dumb” is because people have said it to him so damn many times.

My congressman, Pete Olson, isn’t running for re-election because he’s a damn coward.

So now that he’s a lame duck, he doesn’t give a fluffy flaming fancy buckeroo about doing things properly.  You know, like spending taxpayer dollars in an appropriate manner.

He sent out an email today.  None of his emails are what you would call enlightened or meaningful, cheerful, or even typed well.

The one today is a poll.  On impeachment.  And it’ a push poll.  Wanna see it?  Remember, this is his official government email system, not his campaign email.  So, you know what to do.  By taking the poll, you’ll get on his email list.  When the first one comes, unsubscribe and where it lets you say why you’re unsubscribing, here’s the correct spelling of dumb sumbitch.

Thank you for making me feel better.

Ambassador Bill Taylor says that $400 million in security aid to Ukraine and a one-on-one meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were conditioned on Ukraine announcing investigations into the 2016 election the company that hired Hunter Biden.

Trump didn’t want an investigation. He just wanted it announced that an investigation was ongoing. You know, kinda of like his investigators in Hawaii who were close to proving that Barack Obama wasn’t born there.

The Biden deal is just another shiny thing Trump uses for bait to distract the attention away from him.  It’s the law of media thermodynamics: if the heat is on someone else, it’s not on you.

More on Taylor as it gets read …

Come to find out, Rick Perry has got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Newly released testimony from the U.S. ambassador to the European Union provides further evidence that Energy Secretary Rick Perry played a central role in the Ukrainian saga that’s resulted in an impeachment probe against President Donald Trump.

But Gordon Sondland’s deposition, released on Tuesday, also leaves unanswered many questions about what exactly the former Texas governor knew – and when.

Reminder:  Perry has refused to testify under oath.  More reminder: Sondland, Volker, and Perry were named The Three Amigos. Mother of all reminders: Perry sought to put two Texas businessmen on the Naftogaz board. That’s how Perry works – gets jobs for his friends and then expect friendly kickbacks.

Y’all nothing will be more entertaining than watching Rick Perry before a congressional panel because he’s even dumber than you think.

Okay, a couple of years ago, I woman riding her bicycle flipped off Trump in his motorcade.  Trump had just left his Trump National Golf course and drove right past her while she was out cycling.

She did it.  Apparently, it wasn’t planned, she just saw an opportunity and took it.  It went wild on Twitter.

Juli Briskman admitted it to her boss – she worked for a government contractor – and was promptly fired.

Last night she “won a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors — ousting a Republican in the process.”

Her district includes Trump’s golf course.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.  And thanks to the Karma Fairy for great things.
