Barrel Meet Bottom

November 22, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The Republican Party of Texas has hired a political consultant to form their plan for keeping Texas red.

It’s Karl Rove.

I didn’t even know he was still alive.  I thought he died of a bad case of mean as hell.

Well, I’m girding up my loins and getting ready to beat Karl Rove. It’ll be fun!

 

Be social and share!

  2. Politics makes for strange corpse’s.

    Whatever color Texas is, everybody’s running like it’s purple

    – President Donald Trump has been to Texas seven times this year.

    – Michael Bloomberg will be on the Texas Democratic primary ballot for president.

    – Former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro isn’t (politically) dead, though his shot at winning the Democratic presidential nomination is all but gone.

    – And Republican powers in Austin are assembling a political action committee to try to protect their majority in the Texas House.

    All roads lead to this: Texas might not be blue — or even purple — but it will be competitive electoral ground in 2020.

    You might not believe it, but it’s clear that the Democrats are ambitiously plotting to win seats in the congressional delegation and the Texas House in particular. And that the Republicans are planning defenses and recruiting voters in anticipation of a vigorous Democratic campaign.

    National political money might get spent in Texas. That’s just weird. Texas is an ATM state — a place where political campaigns and candidates come to get the money they want to spend in exotic places like Iowa and South Carolina.

  5. OT – Dr. Fiona Hill as the epitome of Lady Justice and become reality, to step down off the pedestal to face the aggressors of truth and become heroic in her testimony of truth to power.

    Lady Justice is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems. Her attributes are a blindfold, a balance, and a sword.

    aggressor |əˈgresər|
    noun – a person or country that attacks another first.

    ‘Can I actually say something?’ Unflappable expert takes on lawmakers in Trump hearing

    A British-born U.S. national security expert never lost her cool during hours parrying heated questions from the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Thursday, and emerged as the latest star of the congressional impeachment inquiry. – Reuters Politics

    I added a smiling photo of Dr. Hill as author to be a counterpoint to the somber face she presented in the hearings.

  6. Karl Rove?
    Well, I read that a filmmaker wants to make a new movie starring James Dean, who’s been dead for 50 years. So I suppose they could prop up Karl Rove in a corner somewhere and call him a political consultant. Give him a title – The Ghost of Campaign’s Past.

  7. Loved the story of Fiona Hill’s hair being set on fire, by a classmate, while taking a test. She calmly extinguished it and continued to finish the test. Then she recounted that her mother gave her a bowl cut and she said she ended up looking like Richard the Third. This woman is amazing!

  9. Personally i think this karl rove is just a automaton made to zuckerbergs specifications to keep texas safe for facebook profits and unlimited freedom to pilfer any personal data it wants in service of zuckerberg.
    Admit it facebook is nothing more then an extension of the rnc propaganda network that includes fox ( and other murdock outlets) oona, and other liars who count on falsehoods for profit and now facebook feeding them the lies they have found people will beleive.
    So this karl rove will promote facebook for profit and power while enableing the thuglicans to protect it from any restraints

  10. I have been looking at Elise Elise Stefanik’s R-21 donor.
    She is my Rep.
    Most of her donors are not from NY. A lot of them are from Texas.
    I wonder why.

    We have now liberated the Twitter account, previously suppressed unfairly in the aftermath of my resignation as National Security Advisor. More to come…..

    Stefanik’s opponent raised $1 million dollars and gained 200k+ Twitter followers in three days (and that’s not even accounting for the photo of Stefanik palling around with far-right racist).
There have to be a lot of Democratic challengers really looking forward to this week.

  14. Creative campaigning – “You should vote for Trump.”

    Edit: Biden Under Fire for Telling Immigrant Rights Activist Demanding End to Deportations to ‘Vote for Trump’
    The former vice president also told climate activists that they “listen to Bernie too much” after they demanded he reject corporate cash.

    Just tell the Senate you want to testify in a Burisma investigation and you will have a ready-made audience of millions, Joe. ( :– {p >

    During a campaign event in Greenwood, South Carolina Thursday night, former Vice President Joe Biden told a protestor who confronted him over the Obama administration’s mass deportation policies to “vote for Trump,” prompting outrage from immigrant rights groups and activists.

    “By now, it is clear that the immigrant community cannot trust Biden.” 
—Carlos Rojas, Movimiento Cosecha

    “You should vote for Trump,” Biden repeated as Carlos Rojas, an organizer with Movimiento Cosecha, urged the former Vice President to depart from the destructive record of the Obama White House and support a moratorium on deportations.

    Biden, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, refused to agree to the demand, insisting that he will “prioritize deportations only of people who have committed a felony or a serious crime.”

    Rojas replied that he wants to ensure immigrants living in the United States don’t have to live in fear of deportation and separation from their families.

    “You have the power, as a candidate, to actually commit to stop all deportations from day one—and we want to hear you say that,” Rojas said.

    Watch the exchange, which quickly went viral on Twitter

    @megasoid: I swear (frequently, sometimes) that Uncle Joe is developing an increasingly bad case of foot-in-mouth disease as this primary season continues. I’ll vote for him if he’s the candidate, but I can’t say that I’ll be happy about it. I wish he’d drop out of the race–along with slew of other candidates.

    Biden apparently is still dealing with a severe stutter that can cause his word use to alter in mid sentence.

    Biden apparently is still dealing with a severe stutter that can cause his word use to alter in mid sentence. Thus it looks like a senior moment but may be a fight to get out of the sentence without pause…

  21. And then there’s this:

    “(CNN)A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani tells CNN that his client is willing to tell Congress about meetings the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee had in Vienna last year with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss digging up dirt on Joe Biden.

    The attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, represents Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Soviet-born American who worked with Giuliani to push claims of Democratic corruption in Ukraine. Bondy said that Parnas was told directly by the former Ukrainian official that he met last year in Vienna with Rep. Devin Nunes.
    “Mr. Parnas learned from former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin that Nunes had met with Shokin in Vienna last December,” said Bondy.
    Shokin was ousted from his position in 2016 after pressure from Western leaders, including then-vice president Biden, over concerns that Shokin was not pursuing corruption cases.
    Bondy tells CNN that his client and Nunes began communicating around the time of the Vienna trip. Parnas says he worked to put Nunes in touch with Ukrainians who could help Nunes dig up dirt on Biden and Democrats in Ukraine, according to Bondy.
    That information would likely be of great interest to House Democrats given its overlap with the current impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and could put Nunes in a difficult spot.”

  24. The Surly Professor says:

    Vickie@24: out of curiosity, did he fly first class, or get bundled in the cattle pen section where the rest of us low-class folks get crammed?

    I’d love to get him stuck in a seat next to me where I’d have several hours to explain to him what a total turd he is.

  25. “Thank you for your cervix.” That was in response to an article later corrected by GQ Magazine. It could well have been a commendation to the women who testified at the impeachment hearings. It could also have been a swipe at High Nunes for his meretricious performance during the hearings.

    Ladies I salute you! And, apologize repeatedly for the ignorance of some men. Honestly. Here it is the correction in GQ: “NOTE: This story has been updated. Alexander Vindman received a Purple Heart after being wounded by an IED, improvised explosive device, not an IUD, or intrauterine device. We regret the error.”

    Some days it just ain’t easy to be a male, especially a perceived ‘white’ male. Ladies, again, please accept my apologies on behalf of my species.

  26. Jane & PKM @26,

    One has to wonder how many other guilty-as-hell GOPs that are in the position to pass judgement on their own crimes.

  27. Papa@27, the standard answer would be: “all of them, Katie.” For instance, Kevin McCarthy. He knows how guilty High Nunes is, so he’s complicit by his acceptance of that new “norm.” Some Democrats will be complicit, if they don’t come out fighting for truth as Adam Schiff has done. Thinking of you, Chuck Schumer, when the impeachment ball gets tossed over to Moscow Mitch and the Senate. Silence isn’t a good look, sir.

    28
  28. Papa@27: This is just another shiny object to distract and delay the main implosion sequence. Beware of any “dangled” testimony by the small-time thuglican fixer/translator Parnas. He wants to negotiate some kind of limited immunity deal for testifying before the impeachment committee. Remember the disinformation voluntarily spewed by Roger Stone before Congress, and the useless “cooperation” provided by Paul Manafort to Mueller. The film-noir tie-in to Nunes is intriguing, but should be dealt with by the House Ethics Committee. Likewise, leave the Brighton Beach superPAC to SDNY.

    So with Rudy he should be fined, jailed, lose his license and also be barred from any kind of future law practice and ability to work with a foreign ANYTHING as a U.S. Citizen.

  31. Diane: I also live in NY21, and if you recall, Stefanik was installed here by Karl Rove PAC money, even though she didn’t even live in the district. Her donors are corporate and generally on the dark side of that.

    Go Tedra.
