Well, the NRA filed their reports and John Cornyn better not be counting on them.

You can see it for yourself and see who else is getting screwed if you click here.

I’m just sure it was more important for Wayne LaPierre to keep his girlfriend in a fancy apartment near the headquarters than help John Cornyn.  At least, I think it was.

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

The AP has a very cool story trying to explain what happened to all the money Trump raised to run for president this time.

We’re talking about a billion dollars.  It’s hard to spend a billion dollars, even if you do have kinky perversion about gold plated crap.

Trump bought a $10 million Super Bowl ad when he didn’t yet have a challenger. He tapped his political organization to cover exorbitant legal fees related to his impeachment. Aides made flashy displays of their newfound wealth — including a fleet of luxury vehicles purchased by Brad Parscale, his former campaign manager.

Meanwhile, a web of limited liability companies hid more than $310 million in spending from disclosure, records show.

That’s the bottom line – he doesn’t know how to spend money.  That’s why his businesses go under and his creditors are left holding an empty bag.

And that’s what we will be holding when he leaves office.

One other thing.  Thelma pointed out to me that we’re either gonna see a massive upheaval in December or a whine that just won’t quit.  So, we’re ordering shirts that say, “Shuddup, Man” printed on them as election celebration gifts.

I’m telling you the truth, it’ll be a bridge I’ll gladly cross.  He can throw as much broken glass on there as he wants, I’ll still cross it.

Holy crap.

No, no, seriously, Trump is now demanding that Barr investigate.

“We have got to get the attorney general to act. He’s got to act and he’s got to act fast,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends,” citing a New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s business dealings. Trump called on Barr to “appoint somebody” to handle the matter.

“This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election,” Trump said.

A week and half is plenty of time to investigate complicated international espionage, computers left at repair shops, Rudy G’s sweet dreams, child pornography, basements of pizza parlors, and God only knows what else Trump is going to come up with.

The only people I know who believe the computer lap story are old people who still use AOL.  The Russians gave that computer to Rudy and he had to hunt down a computer repairman in Delaware to come up with a story.

A shout-out to this poor man who somehow plucked up the courage to get out of the house and get himself a Subway sandwich.

This is Trump’s America, y’all.

Just looking at some numbers as I used to be in the bond business when I lived in that shack next to Jay. The GOP loves to call the Democratic economic plan “tax and spend”. Well, the Republican plan seems to be spend and spend. Compare Trump and his first (and hopefully only) four years with Obama and his first four years. Boy it sure looks interesting

2009-2012 in billions: 5094

2017-2020 in billions: 6128

Sure, a lot of that is the pandemic, but Obama was trying to recover from the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression, so we will call it even. The GOP loves to cast themselves as the party of fiscal responsibility. That only seems to happen when it’s time to spend money on social programs.

When we “need” to spend money on tanks, planes, bombs, and corporate bailouts there seems to be plenty to go around. When we “need” to give tax cuts to the top one percent there seems to be plenty to go around. Meanwhile, I’m still looking for the 2000 dollars Pence said we got in the VP debate. I’ve misplaced it I guess. I can’t find it. 

Republican pundit Charlie Sykes lets the nail meet the hammer.

Pretty much saying that Trump is limpin’ around like a three legged jackrabbit, he notices that Trump is still chanting “Lock them up!” at his rallies. He ain’t running against Hillary.

Why would Trump still be hollering that?

“He’s playing his greatest hits,” Sykes explained. “He’s playing all the hits from 2016. The problem is that this time around he’s fat Elvis. It feels derivitive because 2016 is a different time. Nobody cares about Hillary’s emails anymore.”

He’s Fat Elvis.

I don’t know how he’s going to recover from that.  I hope they tell him about 15 minutes before the debate.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
