Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Good heavens, don’t give trump darts! Well, OK, give him the ones with the little suction cup on the end.
1Words to remember as the theocrats attempt to stack the courts, “People of Praise,” and what Senator Feinstein said: “When Barrett was confirmed as a U.S. Circuit Court judge last year, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) angered some Catholics by bringing up Barrett’s Catholicism. “You have a long history of believing your religious beliefs should prevail,” Feinstein said to Barrett. “When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country.”

There may be files, but you can bet pres Child Abuser doesn’t read them. Someone like Stephen Goebbels Miller will tell him about them, pushing the most Nazi-like of the group. pres Child Abuser will go with that one.
3The Trump Administration, moving on from the embarrassment of womp, womp – – to nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
It’s how progress is measured, one week at a time.
4I assume that there’s a reason why so many of the Supreme Court justices are Catholic: they’re assumed to be automatic votes against abortion. Not true in every case.
5Rhea, it’s preparatory due mostly to the Jesuits who believed in education and set up schools that produced students who were prepared for higher education and produced some truly excellent jurists. Sort of the reverse of a Betsy DeVos who is out to destroy our public schools or the science deniers doing the home school thing to avoid facts.
Like Senator Feinstein, I don’t object to Amy Coney Barrett because of Catholicism. However, the dogma of the “People of Praise” might even be more sinister than the Rick Santorum Opus Dei distortion or any other group intent on replacing democracy with their version of “we know best” whatever it might be authoritarian bends.
Ironic in a way. Donnie’s base loves Muslim bashing, are “patriotic” yet follow a guy who is a weak facsimile of Kim Jong-Un, Putin, Duterte and the late Ayatollah Khomeini. They’re like a cult huffing the glue that holds Donnie’s ‘hair’ in place, if the wind conditions aren’t above 5 mph.
6It might as well be eeny meeny miny moe, since all three have gotten the Federalist stamp of approval. We have so much to lose if any of these candidates is appointed to SCOTUS.
7And ruling in favor of Dump when his crimes are revealed, will cement our country in this nightmare of corruption.
Is it a sign Mitch McTurdle doesn’t think he has the votes to pass Larry, Moe or Curly? The name Thomas Hardiman has been raised again as a possible fourth name under consideration. Sister Maryanne won’t be happy. Not because she also serves on the 3rd Circuit and potentially knows anything about Hardiman. To date she has done reasonably well to remain relatively disassociated from her odious relative.
8RE: People of Praise.
Apparently PoP resulted when some Catholics had a catastrophic head-on collision with a bunch of drunk or stoned Pentecostals. O.m.G. The sight of a bunch of Catholics speaking in tongues about prophesy must be a sight to behold, especially since Latin is pretty odd to me to begin with. Holy sh!t on shingle. Thank g-d there are only 3,000 of ’em. We just don’t need one infiltrating the Supremes.
9Micr, our good friend, be afraid, be very afraid. When Donnie nominated Amy Coney Barrett for the appellate job, there were ‘only’ approximately PoPs; now there is reported to be 3000. That’s a scary percentage of increase in a short period of time. BTW, your shortened moniker for them is perfect – “PoPs” as in “Unholy Key-Reichstag, Pope Frankie. Look what popped out of a petri dish of Pentocostal DNA mixed with OT dogma.”
As for any of the festering versions of jurisprudence on Donnie’s list, crazy and contortionist seem to be their common ‘attributes.’ If they cannot leap through a constitutional hoop like Hardiman to point out where assault rifles were in the original document, they don’t make the cut with the Federalist Society.
Hardiman should scare every man who has a mother. Another of his rulings was to the effect that strip searches are appropriate at the time of booking. Ye haw to due process and equality for all with a cavity search for unpaid parking tickets. That’s what due process means to Dotard45 era conservatives: “if you are not rich enough to travel in an armored limousine with a protection detail, it’s open season on your unworthy hide.”
10I can’t see Hardiman as a Supreme because he is a 2A worshiper, an extremist.
Strip searches may or may not be appropriate at the time of booking into a 72-hour lock up or a local jail. I can see making strip searches mandatory when inmates enter long term facilities like prisons.
11Shemp withdrew his nomination.
12The Stooges made us laugh. This administration? It makes us cry. Perhaps Othello, Iago and Desdemona would be better names for the folders?
