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.
Seems like I saw a trump rally video where one of the backdrops apparently had not drunk the Koolaid and was rolling his eyes at some of trump’s utterances. They promptly replaced him with someone more compliant. trump & Co. apparently realize that Dr Fauci is too credible to yank off the stage. Watch for his reassignment as Head of the Antarctica CV research for that entire continent.
1There’s head/desk and then there’s the “please virus, just take me now” hand gesture. When this is over those of clean hands and heart working with this maladministration out of an honest sense of duty and/or patriotism deserve a t-shirt: no good deed goes unpunished.

3‘Two $1 Trillion Coins’: Rashida Tlaib Proposal Calls on US Treasury to Fund Coronavirus Recovery From US Mint
Tlaib’s “Automatic BOOST Act” calls for a universal payout of $2,000 to everyone in the U.S. and $1,000 a month after that.
Edit: Progressives on Saturday welcomed news that Rep. Rashida Tlaib is calling on the U.S. Treasury to exercise its power to issue platinum coins to fund the coronavirus recovery, calling the move an example of thinking outside the box and celebrating the universality of her proposal to give everyone in America cash payments.
“I fully support the House Financial Services Committee Democrats #COVID19 economic response proposal,” the Michigan Democrat tweeted Saturday. “I also want to encourage leadership to consider my truly universal relief proposal on behalf of #13thDistrictStrong.”
“This is a really ambitious and creative plan from Rep. Tlaib taking advantage of ideas that financial experts began exploring during the debt crisis showdowns of the Obama years,” tweeted HuffPost reporter Zach Carter.
The “Automatic BOOST to Communities Act” (pdf) would deliver a $2,000 pre-paid debit card to every American, with $1,000 being paid monthly after that until a year after the coronavirus crisis ends. Tlaib proposes to pay for the cost of the program by calling on the Treasury to use its authority under federal law to issue two trillion dollar platinum coins. The move would not add to the debt.
“Tlaib wants to take advantage of an obscure Treasury authority to issue new currency through minting platinum coins, and then give that currency to people,” said Carter. “No new debt, no weird Federal Reserve programs, just cash straight to folks.”
The bill also uses a broad definition of “every person,” including non-citizens, children and other dependents, those in territories and protectorates, and those without bank accounts.
Under the bill, “an emergency corps will conduct a targeted outreach program to at-risk populations (homeless, elderly, etc) to ensure they receive cards, and at the same time perform a wellness check to assess whether they need additional assistance,” said Modern Money Network president Rohan Grey, who helped write the bill.
“It’s been a thrill to work on this proposal, but it is important to note that while emergency cash relief is critical, it is not sufficient on its own,” Grey added. “We need far-reaching debt and expense relief, additional income and benefit protection and expansion, including direct payroll support, repurposing and public ownership of key industry, and direct worker support through a job guarantee that supports emergency and solidarity work, remote work, and begins planning for what the post-crisis recovery looks like.”

4megasoid @4, we’re hoping what Congresswoman Tlaib has delineated causes Senate Democrats to slap Moscow Mitch hard as to any bi-partisan soap after his hubris and hypocrisy to date. Absolutely NO corporate welfare this time; certainly not until every person and small business has recovered from this pandemic, and then only with strict oversight and conditions.
Oops. Another victim fell into Donnie’s covfefe translator. Mikey Dense this time. WTH is Mikey babbling about that “he and Mother will be tested for corona virus after it reaches the White House”??? Does Mikey have a new or special relationship with the word “reach”?
5Hey! I just got a GREAT price on a 30 day luxury cruise ship tour visiting all the ports of China. You wouldn’t believe how low the price of a cabin is. See you guys when I get back in late April! Let me know if I missed anything!
6Jane & PKM @ 5 – The howling will continue unabated from GooPigs wallowing in their stock dumps, “…how you going to pay for it.” Dems will also shriek and squeal: Chuck, Nancy, et al.
Pundits will call it looting of Fort Knox with tales of Goldfinger’s girl pilots… Or The Squad invoking chaos… HA.
No means testing, “No new debt, no weird Federal Reserve programs, just cash straight to folks.” What gobspit gubmint SEZ it wants to do but too goddamned greedy to give to the general public.
7It’s 304 days til January 19, 2021 – use this slack time to plan your celebration when his majesty leaves the White House.
8Grandma Ada, think I could handle 304 days of being quarantined with the wife and kids. But another 304 days of Donnie* is a bit of an ask. Usually I don’t utilize my Daddy needs two drinks per week option. But in these extreme circumstances meaning more Donnie*, would it be self indulgent to increase the allowance to two per day?
Maybe we could make that a WMDBS pick a date for Donnie* leaving game. Loser downs two drinks. I pick today. Bets on my next pick?
megasoid, would love to watch one round of Steve Mnunchin against Congresswoman Tlaib on how best to stimulate the economy and help average people. Too bad he’s too insensate to be embarrassed after she would need to explain the concept of “average people” to Wonder Wimp. And, an additional half penny for his thoughts any time Chuck Schumer rolls up to his office and Congresswoman Tlaib is waiting for him. New metric of a man’s character: how afraid is he of intelligent women?
9It’s sad that so much effort is going to reassure Trump – far more effort than is being made to reassure the American public.
10Nice to see texas d’s sueing for mail in ballots.
11But with demented donnies “not qualified” syphonants infesting the federal benches the court system cannot be trusted not to deliver partisan driven judgements.
This is why I believe that any federal CoronaVirus bill MUST require a federal mandate for all the states to have mail in balloting in place for Nov. election.
Nah , he`s trying to stop laughing .
12MSNBC announced this morning she would not have Corporate bailouts.
Most Republicans have not yet figured out Nancy controls the purse strings, unlike the last tax cut.
I just received my application for an absentee ballot. DeWine seems to be doing a good job and Sherrod Brown backs Mike completely but I am taking no chances.
We will also have an unbiased committee after the Census this year so they can ungerrymander Gym Jordan. Filed my Census online. Easy
