In a 5-4 decision, this morning the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law restricting abortion rights, much like it did to a Texas law that said that doctors must have admitting privileges to a hospital before performing an abortion.

The anti-choice crowd was hoping that the addition to the two bozos Trump put on the court would change the balance.

That didn’t happen.

Chief Justice John Roberts must be getting a little worried about his legacy as well he should be.

Trump denies being briefed about about the Russian-Taliban bounty plot.  I guess maybe it didn’t get included on the half page of briefing he gets with no three-syllable words.

He has some interesting ideas about it.

Trump tweeted that “there have not been many attacks” on US troops by Taliban fighters as his evidence that the reported intelligence may be “phony.”

Okay, Buddy, you don’t need to be passing out the Phony Awards.

Trump was briefed on the intelligence findings and the White House’s National Security Council held a meeting about it in late March, according to the Times, citing officials briefed on the matter.

I’m almost dead solid certain that Trump doesn’t remember the meeting. I’d be willing to give him that. Truly, anything that happened before yesterday afternoon doesn’t exist.

And, there is the off-chance that the military/intelligence didn’t tell him because of his close relationship with Putin, which includes passing along state secrets.  Or maybe they didn’t tell him because he screws. everything. up.

We do need to find out.

You can erase it from Twitter but somebody always makes a copy.

Now they are trying to say Grandpa Golfer was just making a joke.

It’s all a joke.

To be a Republican, you have to have a humorectomy. It’s required. Have you ever seen a Republican humorist? No, you have not. That’s not how humor works. Humor works when you make fun of yourself, which fragile Republican egos simply cannot do, or when the powerless make fun of the powerful, which is opposite of what Tump did when he mocked a handicapped journalist.  There’s a term for that.  It’s called “punching down.” Don’t do it. It’s not funny.

Republicans can’t joke. They do not know how. So screw that excuse.

Louie Gohmert says he’s still refusing to wear a mask, even though it’s been mandated by the congressional physician.

“I don’t have the coronavirus, turns out as of yesterday I’ve never had it,” Gohmert said about his reasoning for not wearing a mask.

Gohmert says that he’s “routinely tested,” as are my nerves when he speaks, but he won’t wear a mask until he tests positives.  So, if he gets the virus at 3:30 one afternoon, you are just totally out of luck if he gets near you for the rest of the day.  He probably doesn’t understand this because it’s complicated, but you don’t get a 24 hour guarantee with a test.

“I keep being tested and I don’t have it,” he said. “So I’m not afraid of you, but if I get it I’ll wear a mask.”

Well, see, you shouldn’t be afraid of me because I’m wearing a damn mask and throwing my feet in reverse when I see you, Louie.

Thanks to Mel for the heads up.

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.

Oh y’all, the Iowa Republican Party just revealed to the whole world the bank account numbers for the Republican National Committee.

I’ll let you see, but please don’t tell anybody.

Here’s a screenshot in case they take it down.  You can see it and save it to your computer but for pete’s sake, keep it secret.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.  You can tell him, but that’s all. Nobody else.
