UPDATED: Not only is Steve Bannon and Tiffany Cheeto registered to vote in two states, it’s now come to light that Steve Mnuchin, nominated to be TREASURY SECRETARY, is also registered to vote in New York and California.  Is it possible to be so goddam rich (sorry, Momma) that you can’t remember where you live?  This has entertainment written all over it.

Steve Bannon, that charming white supremacist from Breitbart who is now co-infesting the White House, is registered to vote in Florida and in New York.  He voted absentee in New York in November, no mention of if he also voted in Florida.  Also, in an ironic twist, Tiffany Cheeto, one of the daughters, is also registered in 2 states, Pennsylvania and New York.  Ol’ TwitterFinger has been ranting on his favorite medium for 4 days now about voter fraud.  It would be a shame if his Lead Orc and his daughter get caught up in the fraud investigation.

Glass houses, anyone?

Author’s Note: Someone last week pinned a new name on Cheeto Jesus – TwitterFinger.  I like it, so will begin using it in addition to my favorite moniker, CJ.

Random Thoughts for today:

Favorite slogan from his aborted run in 2012:

TwitterFinger has been busy.  Besides signing a virtual plethora of Executive Orders (that Republicans hated until January 20, 2017 at 12:01 pm), our senior overcomber has been obsessing over size.  Size really matters, probably because TwitterFinger is a euphemism for TinyFinger.  Anyway, I digress.  Last night, about 9:30, his favorite subject, television ratings, was top of mind:

He congratulated Fox News for apparently having highest ratings during the inauguration. He also couldn’t resist another shot at CNN.  That’s right, folks, the President of the United States is still obsessed with not only ratings, but the inauguration.  Speaking of ratings, here’s one from a couple of nights ago about the same subject:

Here’s another attempt to jab the media in the eye, a photograph of the ceremony which will be hung in the WH briefing room (which he calls press hall).

And lastly, this gem TwitterFinger issued after his awkward CIA appearance bragging about standing ovations and packed house.

Apparently, he forgot to mention (or maybe 140 characters is not enough) that the standing ovations came from paid shills who he brought to cheerlead.

Sad.

This morning, Cheeto Jesus announced that Director of the FBI, James Comey, would keep his head as a reward for using the FBI to help keep Hillary out of the Whitehouse.  Comey, appointed by President Obama in 2013, is serving a 10 year term as director. I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.  The takeover of the nation’s leading law enforcement agency by Cheetoists is complete.

Variety is reporting that the long used Whitehouse comment line has been shut down and an automated message tells callers to use a non-existent Facebook messenger account.  That’s right, public comment can no longer reach into the Oval Office.  Fascism comest to America.

See the image above of Cheeto Jesus insulting the press and Democrats giving a speech to CIA staff on Saturday.  Notice anything missing?  That’s right, NO FLAG PIN.  I have been scouring the internets this morning, especially the right wing sites just hoping for the outrage to come spewing forth.  However, all I’m finding is this:

Can you imagine the howling if President Obama had left his flag pin at home?  Just like the silly calls for “unity” and “give the president a chance” mantras, the rules change radically for the right when their guy is in office.

UPDATED: CBS News has just reported that indeed Cheeto Jesus brought in about 40 of HIS supporters to Langley and packed the first three rows in front of the podium.  About 400 of thousands of CIA staffers came, and there indeed are some at CIA who support him.  The majority, though, were offended by his remarks and the consensus is that he made things worse, not better, despite the gaslighting by his supporters for the press pool cameras.

Did it strike you as odd that the press was laughing and applauding at Cheeto Jesus’s press conference at Cheeto Tower just before the inauguration?  Did it also strike you as even more odd when CIA staff did the same thing during his speech in front of the memorial for agents killed in the line of duty at Langley?  Me, too.
