As For The President …

John Bel Edward’s victory speech was perfectly lovely.

 

 

If you can’t say something nice, you can always say bless his heart.

Thanks to Vance for the heads up.

  1. *snortle! chork!*
    As every southerner knows, “Bless his heart” is code for “eff him.” Certainly, those in the auditorium knew it. šŸ™‚

    As for Bel Edward’s though — he gave himself away. He’s obviously a native southerner but he is not a native Louisianan. The name of the state is not pronounced, “Louisiana.” It’s pronounced, “Loosiana,” everyone knows that. At least everyone who was born there does.

    Just like “New Orleans” is pronounced “Nawlans.” Because it just is.

    Hey K,
    Get out your checkbook, your fav pet peeves, +-DINO Reps Lipinski and Cuellar, have solid progressive primary challengers.
    Sitting from within Cuellar’s district, I doubt that his Laredo machine can be beaten, but it will be an interesting time. It’s geographically a huge district, ~300x75miles [80+% Hispanic/15% Anglo/4% Black(imo seems high)], but much of its’ population is concentrated in the border town of Cuellarville…errmm…Laredo [98% Hispanic; sometimes worked there, very much a minority…].
    .

    “The 2018 midterms ushered in the most progressive House majority in history, but there are still a couple of bad apples left in the Democratic caucus, and itā€™s time to give them the heave-ho.
    Thatā€™s why Daily Kos is proud to endorse two fantastic women who will help us do just that: Marie Newman in Illinois and Jessica Cisneros in Texas.”

    Oh please, please, please Mr. Trump sir, please come give the GOP candidates next November the Trump bump!

  4. Well…. Iā€™m glad Edwards won. After all, I voted for him despite my dislike of his conservadem leanings. He was, by far, the better of the two candidates. Now Iā€™ve got to find out if the snacilbuper manage to elect enough of their own kind in the legislature to override any vetos he should issue. I canā€™t remember where but there was one prediction I read that forecast that possibility. Wish us luck.

    Hey Donnie, what Grandma Ada says. You bring that Trump bump and we’ll bring you as diapered blimps!

  6. The Trump Bump is quickly becoming a Trump Thump for GOP candidates.

    A little nostalgia. Here’s Doonesbury from 1974:

    “I am not a criminal. I am an innocent public servant being hounded from office by a partisan pack of wolves off on a witch hunt.”

    Where have we heard that recently?

    With their mouth-watering flavors and light dusting of sugar, nostalgic Chuckles Jelly Candies make a perfect chewy sweet treat. These palate-pleasing candies are lightly tumbled in sugar and have a soft texture that’s easy to chew.

    Here are some easy to chew Iowa Poll Chuckles for today furnished by the MSM for your perfect sweet treat with a really hard to swallow chart of meteoric rise for the plucky mayor.

    twocrows, that’s not how Louis Armstrong pronounces it (see “Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans”). Maybe both are acceptable.

    ā€˜Donald Trump is toastā€™: Former Watergate prosecutor predicts Ambassador Sondlandā€™s testimony will doom the president

    Edit: ā€œI donā€™t think heā€™s got much of a choice, it seems like that and those text messages, the evidence here is overwhelming,ā€ Akerman said. ā€œIf he wants to avoid winding up in prison like Roger Stone, heā€™s got to come clean.ā€

    He then went on to predict that Sondlandā€™s decision to spill the beans would devastate Trumpā€™s presidency.

    ā€œDonald Trump is toast,ā€ he said. ā€œSondland is going to come out and tell the whole story, heā€™s going to detail it, heā€™s going to have documents to detail it, thereā€™s no question that they were trying to get the Ukrainian government to announce an investigation into Joe Bidenā€¦ and using money as appropriated by the U.S. congress to do that. Pure bribery.ā€
