An FEC complaint was filed today against Mark Meadows, Trumps Chief of Staff, for oh yeah charging his PAC and his campaign for personal expenses.

The spending includes a jewelry store and numerous restaurants and clubs, including the Trump Hotel in DC and its restaurants.

Ann Hand is the jewelry store where he bought … uh, paper. He also spent money at Costco and a local cupcake store.

And then, and then, after all that they find out that he’s been playing hanky-panky with campaign money to help a candidate running to replace him.

It’s a complicated scheme but that’s the kind you go to jail for doing.

This guy is so full of himself that if you stuck him with a pin, he’d fly around the room backward for a damn week.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Ben is in first grade and this conversation took place earlier this week in the car.

You can listen here.

BEN: I miss Joe Biden.

DAD: Where did you see Joe Biden?

BEN: In a magazine.

DAD: In a magazine?

BEN: In a voting magazine.

MOM: In a voting magazine. What do you like about him?

BEN:  Well, I just like him.

DAD: What do you think is cool about him?

BEN: That he’s good at being president.

MOM: You think he’ll be good at being president?

BEN:  Yes.

MOM: What did Katy (Mom’s friend) tell you about him?  Remember?

BEN: That he likes grandmas.

MOM: He likes grandmas.

BEN:  And I like grandmas, too.  (Pause) Donald Trump does not like grandmas.

MOM: Probably not.

BEN: He doesn’t like Gigi …

BOTH MOM AND DAD: No. Definitely not. (Laughter)

MOM: Do you?

BEN: I do.

(Pause and then Ben picks it up again.)

BEN: I don’t like Donald Trump, though. He is mean … and evil. He likes people who are evil.

.

I am blessed to live in a family that are all Democrats, including my brother and both his children.

Have a great weekend and call somebody to vote.  Grandmas are counting on you.

Okay, so after Trump left his troops out in the cold, alone and afraid in Omaha, he planned to go to Florida where that wouldn’t happen.

Oops.

He’s snake bit, y’all.

Senator Kelly Loeffler says she does not disagree with anything that Donald Trump has said or done.  Not one.

Trump is all good.

Loeffler was appointed to the US Senate and is now running to be in a predicted run-off in January. Things are tough right now and she knows she’s got a long row to hoe. So when she recently said again that she agrees with everything Trump has ever said or done, she was asked about the Access Hollywood tape.

She first gave a blah blah focused on working for Georgians blah blah conservative champion for Georgians blah blah Trump blah blah.  The she didn’t answer the question so it was asked again.

Her answer? “I’m sorry. I’m not familiar with that.”

She’s lying or she’s dumber than bean dip.

Or maybe she’s an all-star Republican and she’s both.

Check your 2020 card and if you have “moon hatches” mark it off.

Recently, researchers were baffled by a discovery of a strange crack on the Moon’s surface, which is continuing to expand. Large scale research conducted by the Smithsonian Institute to study the fault on the lunar surface using sensors installed during Apollo 17 has found the faults.

The obtained data indicate a mysterious crack appeared due to a powerful shock, the magnitude of which could be closer to 5.5 on the Richter scale, which is enough to cause above moderate damage to buildings on Earth.

Oddly, I didn’t have that one, but I did have “Tucker Carlson makes things disappear,” so I’m about even for today.

From Nick Carraway 

How does one expect to get through to people when their rationale for voting for someone is that they get to shove the proverbial middle finger at polite society? That is Charlie Sykes at the Bulwark is postulating in his recent piece.  He is actually quoting someone else here but I think most people fully understand the idea.

Simply put, they don’t care about you, them, or even themselves. They could all suffer and could buckle under his lies. It doesn’t matter. In the academic world we have a different word for this: nihilism. I’ll have to dust off my copy of “Fight Club” and dig in.
