Oh, you’re gonna love this.

After Texas bars opened and threw Texas into pandemic plague proportions, Governor Doofus decides to close them again.  You know, like removing matches after the damn house has burned down.

So, what to bars do? They sue to governor.  Dudes, y’all were the ones who got an abundance of people sick because you weren’t following the rules of opening in stages.

Here’s the lawsuit in a PDF.  I hope both sides lose.

Hey, good luck trying to kill everybody in Texas.

Well, duh.

But they stay with him and they defend him because they don’t want to be called silly names on Twitter.

• Trump behaved in a “near-sadistic” manner toward German Chancellor Angela Merkel as well as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s predecessor, Theresa May, according to one source. Several other sources confirmed the detail to CNN as well.

No shock here.

Look, he knew about Putin putting a cash bounty on US soldiers. No amount of delusion or excuses can overcome that.

I’m starting to believe the pee tapes are real.  Melania demanded changes to her prenuptial before agreeing to move to Washington. I’m thinking the pee tape would give her more money than he has.

Hey, it’s as good a reason as any.

The Republican Party of Texas will hold its statewide convention on July 16 – 17 in Houston.  As 6,000 Republicans gather at the downtown convention center, no masks will be required.

One of the big sponsors is the Texas Medical Association.

Oddly enough, the Texas Medical Association cancelled its own convention set in last May in Fort Worth, even though Texas had a low rate of the virus then.  They have continued to hold board meetings online, but I guess you can’t upset Republicans if you want to keep medical care for-profit.

And the TMA ain’t backing down.

Annear said TMA’s agreement with the Republican Party of Texas was set in stone “before the pandemic was a major issue here — before we hit any stay-home suggestions or mandates, mask policies or anything like that.”

And because the group signed on to the sponsorship before the pandemic began and “no conditions like that were discussed,” it will not back out of the agreement, he said.

So if the Republican Party of Texas decided to obey a demand of random hourly human sacrifice to the gods of presidential pardons, the TMA would not throw the first set stone.

You can contact the Texas Medical Association here.  In the sweetest possible way, you might want to thank them for filling up ICU beds with people who do not believe in science, that doctors are part of making up this hoax, and that human sacrifice might be a good idea.

Shame on them. There are medical people dying trying to save lives and these dudes are supporting a 6,000 person petri dish bomb.

The boneheaded Mayor of St. Louis, Lyda Krewson, decided that it would be a charming idea to announce the names of everyone who called her or wrote to her wanting to defund or reform the police department. Well, that’s kind of silly, but then she added their damn home addresses.  She was trying to get them and their families either harassed and/or killed.

So, since turn about is fair play, a peaceful parade to her house started inside her gated community to let her know how that felt.

And then come Karen and Skippy, neighbors of the mayor, (not their real names but it could be) to defend their mansion from the common people.

Oh dear Lord.

There’s lots wrong here. Lots.  Not knowing how to handle or use weapons just has to take the top of the list.  You’d think with all their money and considering that they are both personal injury attorneys, they might have taken some lessons before defending the Alamo.

Second, is this their bunker?  Do they have food stored up here and window covers that bolt down?  Their house looks like it’s made of upscaled cinder blocks so you never know.

You can find more movies of this all over the internet and if they weren’t putting lives at danger, including their own, it would be funny as all get out.

White people.  What can I say?

The New York Times does a long piece today about unrest in the newsroom of the Washington Post.

The Times article opens with an example of the way the Washington Post views journalism and sources. There was a proposed story in the Post about Bob Woodward wanting to “out” Brett Kavanaugh as an unnamed source in Woodword’s 1999 book, “Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate.”  The story was set to run during Kavanaugh’s Senate hearing.

Baron is right.  I hate it, but he’s right.

When I was a reporter in the last century, I was subpeonaed two times to reveal my source.  The first time I hid out for two weeks, moving when needed.  The second time I let them serve me and then I walked into courtroom with the longtime mistress of the plaintiff, who he had broken up with only months before, whispering in my ear and giggling.  I didn’t get called to testify, and the mistress got to see him almost pee his pants. It was a win/win day.

While Baron is right, and we all know that Kavanaugh has no integrity and likes beer.  I doubt it would have made much difference in the vote.  Those slime suckers still support Trump.

In a 5-4 decision, this morning the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law restricting abortion rights, much like it did to a Texas law that said that doctors must have admitting privileges to a hospital before performing an abortion.

The anti-choice crowd was hoping that the addition to the two bozos Trump put on the court would change the balance.

That didn’t happen.

Chief Justice John Roberts must be getting a little worried about his legacy as well he should be.
