Well, lookie here:

Here’s our buddy Ted rumormongering on the Twitter. He’s like an old mother hen, sitting fat on her nest, clucking out stories that are taller than they are wide.

Come to find out..

… the Portland Bible burnings appear to be one of the first viral Russian disinformation hits of the 2020 presidential campaign. The video was first tweeted by an account that lists two cities — Oklahoma City and Abu Dhabi — as its users’ location and has only a few dozen followers. It was soon after deleted. But before it disappeared, the tweet was picked up by a Malaysian named Ian Miles Cheong who has amassed a large Twitter following by playing a right-wing American raconteur on social media.

I dunno, the Russians probably sent it directly to Ted. He has been their tool for quite a while.

The New York Times covered it.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.  

The Twitter —

Dude, it’s a moot point.  There’s going to be fake signatures to disqualify it.

It says everything we need to know about Trump that he uses mentally unstable people for his own benefit. And he obviously uses mental midgets to file his challenges.  At 5:00 means 5:00.  5:01 is not 5:00.

Yeah, yeah, I’m still thumbing my fingers on the desk top looking for Joe’s announcement.

Thanks to Shawn for the heads up.

He tweeted —

He meant to say America needs a new president and vice president.

Look, Pence, if it’s all the same to you, I’d just as soon feed Rightwing Christians to the lions as our bloodsport. There would be a lot more cheering and hot dogs.

Do you think Pence understands that I have worked my whole life for retirement and an opportunity to travel but, thanks to Trump and him, I’m living inside away from my grandson and beloved friends.  We all don’t get what we’ve worked hard for because Trump and Pence got elected.

By the way, Pence, there is no safely anywhere.

I am excited to see that AOC is going to speak at the Democratic Convention.  And, no, I do not think it’s going to turn off “soft Republicans.”

First of all there is no such thing as a soft Republican, thanks to Trump. Soft Republicans are now members of Never Trumpers.

Look, the Trumpians are going to call us socialist and poopie heads no matter what we do or say so we might as well fire up our base.

I am not worried about Trump having the most votes because he doesn’t. I am worried that our people just won’t vote. And I think AOC is a person headed for greatness. Under all the pressure she is under, she has not let her mouth get ahead of her brain. She has remained calm and sure of herself. I like her and I would vote for her. I’m going to clap when she speaks.

Trump tweeted —

So he’s going to do it from the White House, which is probably illegal unless he lets Joe Biden do it from there, too.  Or, he’s gonna try to stand in Abraham Lincoln’s shoes by speaking at the Gettysburg National Military Park overseen by the National Park Service.  So, the taxpayers get stuck with the bill either way.

I dunno, setting up chairs with balloons, streamers, and confetti on the middle of a historic battlefield where people have died just doesn’t seem appropriate, therefore I suspect it would, after all, be an opportune way to end the Trump presidency.

What a jerk.

You know, I’m just pondering here, but shouldn’t Biden give his speech at Mar-A-Lago with the dates that Trump played golf scrolling across the bottom?

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up. 

Damn, Oklahoma, you sit up there all nice and quiet and then — kabam!

A set of parents wrote a nice, really nice, letter to the Board of Education suggesting that in-person school be postponed for nine weeks.

A board member replied —

Hello Adam;

Thanks for your opinion.

I’m not convinced anyone, certainly not the experts, most defiantly not me know much about covid. We shut down schools because it is what we had to do in order to defeat the deadly Chinese virus, just 21 days if we shut everything down, more than 2 months later states started to reopen. Then the 2nd wave and cases with numbers never seen before, well actually the group (20 to 50 year olds) that were not aloud in hospitals and clinics because they were not at risk were not being tested well now they are. Tests were not available then Kodak gets resurrected with a $500 million contract to provide chemicals to make tests now we are testing at a rate of nearly a million a day, nation wide. Reporting is faulty as many states are/were counting a positive covid test the same as a positive antibody test, which are the opposite. One sais you have it one sais you have antibodies which help your body fight it off.  The press want you to be in tune with the number of cases as bad news sells and those numbers are going up but death rate is going down.

I certainly appreciate the trust you place in myself and the board but there is no right decision, certainly not for everyone…

I’m not certain what language that is but I seriously doubt this guy could even correct his mistakes.  But, ya know, it’s Oklahoma, so you get the same choices we get in Texas when guessing what’s going on – drunk, lost, pig ignorant, or methed up.

Thanks to Keith for the heads up.
