February 02, 2021 By: El Jefe Category: 2020 Election, Giuliani, Trump
The AXIOS team has done it again, this time led by Jonathan Swan, telling the tale of the craziness in the WH in Trump’s waning days of infesting the Oval Office. It’s a stomach turning must read, full of quoted expletives. Key quote: “When Rudy Giuliani is the voice of reason, you know the meeting’s not going well.”
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.
Sounds like the old joke about Russian novel plots: “and then it got worse.”

2OT: Y’all have got to watch today’s probable SpaceX SN9 Starship launch from Boca Chica, Texas!
The launch sequence is in progress, meaning that all the sequential steps leading up to the final countdown have begun. Goal is to go up to ~4 miles and back.
The weather is absolutely beautiful [as it is at my place not too far away], not a cloud in the sky and already ~65deg.

3Sweet Mother of Jesus! That was absolute insanity! I was getting dizzy just reading that hot mess of a “meeting” (and that was probably the way most of them went throughout his term). It was way too early in the am here in PST, and I was still on my first cup of hot tea (Glengettie Gold with two teaspoons of local honey). So, the morning caffeine brain wake up hadn’t yet occurred, which may have helped me make sense of their arguments….Naw, who am I kidding? There isn’t enough caffeine in the world that could do that, other then to understand that orange blob is a complete ignorant fool, who surrounded himself with fellow idiots and sycophants.

8The Axios article is either pure comedy gold or pure nauseating effluent, depending on the reader’s strength of stomach.
I remember once when we girls (10 or 11) in the little service club my mother concocted for us, got in a huge hissy-snit-storm of a row over who got to have their snack drink out of the one blue plastic glass. And my mother, who did not suffer whining and sniping gladly, ripped us all a new one and declared that the blue glass would go on the top shelf for a month and she had better not hear a peep out of any of us.
One of us said, unwisely, that since I lived there I could drink from it even if they couldn’t, and my mother said no, I couldn’t. And shot me a look like a fiery bullet, so my plans of sneaking a glass of milk after school from it, and then putting it back on the top shelf before she got home from work…vanished.* That “meeting” reminded me of that hissy fit, and also of the extreme antler-rattling that went on in several other situations in my life…when people who are supposed to be grownups behave like pre-teen girls (and, presumably, pre-teen boys, though boys in my era were more apt to fight with fists than words.)
So much incivility–and all Republicans–“Decorum, gentleman and lady, where’s your decorum?” I’m shocked, I say, hand reaching for the non-existent pearls.
*The blue plastic glass thing may explain the 12 dark blue glasses (not plastic) now in my kitchen and the little tingle of defiance I get when I drink from them. Hadn’t thought of that until the Axios article dragged up Saturday morning meetings of the Saturday Sunshiners and the old blue plastic glass row.
