Well, I was woken the morning by a phone call from my friend who is a 50 year member of AKA.  She was letting me know that she was wearing her pink and green pajamas and her pearls.

.

… and I am sleeping late.  So, if Donald Trump does something stinky, please go ahead and talk about it.  I’ll catch up here when I finally roll outta bed.

I’m getting my COVID vaccine tomorrow afternoon so if I disappear for a while it’s good thing.

Y’all, Mitch McConnell has tied himself in a bow tie trying to let us know that Donald Trump is a terrible person and riled up all those nuts to try to take over the Capitol.

McConnell had learned some new words and said them all:

“The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals who tried to stop Congress from doing our duty,” he said.

“The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.”

Other powerful people?  Like Mitch McConnell?

Damn, y’all. Did Mitch hatch some eyes and ears yesterday?  And, don’t you think he talks big for a little man who didn’t have the guts to open Congress for the impeachment to start while Trump was still in office?

Is Trump gonna pardon himself?  His family? I don’t think he knows.  He’ll just blurt it out or he won’t.

Whatever he does, it won’t make sense and he’ll never admit to a mistake.

Okay, so a guy who lives just outside of Fort Worth decided the best way to be a good American Christian was to threaten to shoot his children if they ratted him out as an insurrectionist.

I’m not jacking with you.

Guy Reffitt went to the Capitol on the 6th and reminded his children that he went there to protect the country. And, for good measure, told them  ….

On Jan. 11, Reffitt commented to his son that he had to “erase everything” because the FBI was now watching him. Reffitt also told his son that if he crossed the line and reported him to police, that would put the family in jeopardy and Reffitt would have no option but to do his duty to protect the country and “do what he had to do,” according to the complaint.

In another threat, Reffitt told his son and daughter, “If you turn me in, you’re a traitor and you know what happens to traitors … traitors get shot,” according to the complaint.

Okay, here’s the deal.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott is all offended-up over the FBI doing background checks on people who will be carrying heavy weaponry close to the US Capitol where former and newly elected presidents will be present.

“No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard,” Abbott wrote in a tweet Monday night.

He calls it “offensive.” Wait a minute, wait a minute, isn’t this the F Your Feelings crowd?

You might want to shake your boots loose because the puddle of hypocrisy and humor is getting neck deep around here.

This is the same damn Greg Abbott who sent to Texas State Guard to watch over the entire United States of America Military Joint Forces doing training exercises in Texas because he thought they were going to round up all the Republicans and tote them off to abandoned WalMarts to be re-educated (like there’s any “re” part to that) to become liberals.

No, it was really worse than that.  Jade Helm in 2015 was Greg Abbott falling for a Russian test case to create disinformation and drive the media.  It was looney toons around here at the time and the beginning of the conspiracy theories becoming the driving force of politics.

And as my friend Elizabeth Moon says …

Despite the number of Texas residents who were part of the attack on the Capitol and the number of Texas Congresscritters who voted to reject the Electoral College count, didn’t wear masks, and in some cases gave tours of the Capitol the day before the attack…the FBI should ignore the Texas National Guard because Abbott might be “offended?” GRRR. Abbott’s an idiot. I’m offended by his being offended.

Somebody please check the Governor this morning.  He’s about a quart low on reality juice.
