So Donald Trump is all excited about this photoshopping.  He put it on Twitter.

This is especially weird because Trump hates dogs.  Also hates women, people of color especially Hispanics, no wait, especially blacks, no, no, Muslims, mostly Muslims, rain, California, wives, yackity hookers, anything requiring attention of more than 5 minutes, truth, the word “Hillary,” normal ties, baseball at the Nationals stadium, justice, America, and little baby kittens.

Wanna know what jinxed the Astros last night?

Who let that guy in?

Don’t let it happen again.

Thanks to Fred for the heads up.

I don’t know why I didn’t see this coming.

Russia’s state-owned Rosneft oil company says it has agreed with the government of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region to take a controlling stake in the region’s main oil export pipeline.

Rosneft said in an October 20 statement that it will own 60 percent of the pipeline while Iraq’s private KAR Group will hold the remaining stake.

So that’s why Trump agreed to keep some troops there?

You wanna know what worries me?  What the hell has Trump given Putin that we don’t know about yet?

Y’all, I am not a conspiracy theorist.  Just look at the number of people squealing on Trump.  Even small groups of people cannot keep a secret.

However … I kinda believe that Ken Lay didn’t up and die of a heart attack out of the clear blue.  He was rich enough to cremate a wet elephant with $100 bills, and I think I saw him in a spacesuit in a background shot of The Martian.  I dunno.

Well, come to find out, it appears that maybe, just maybe, Jeffrey Epstein was murdered

New York City’s former chief medical examiner insisted Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein’s death was a homicide.

Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden was hired by the pedophile’s brother, Mark Epstein, to observe his autopsy after he was found hanged in his Manhattan lockup in August

“I think that the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide,” Baden insisted on Fox News Wednesday.

I’m not saying that the pathologist might have a reason to question the results of the autopsy. If the autopsy was legit, the hired gun would be out of work pretty damn quick.

And I’m not saying that Epstein had dirt on a lot of powerful people, but you know what, Epstein had dirt on a lot of powerful people.

But I am not a conspiracy theorist. Much.

So, Jared Kushner did an interview with Israeli television and …

He also said that the American people are “sick” of the investigation and that “the president hasn’t done anything wrong.”

And …

“If they want to play silly games we will obviously deal with that in an appropriate manner but we are not going to let that distract us as an administration.”

Yeah, he said that at exactly the same time that  Trump has spent all morning on Twitter whimpering, crying, and screaming about Nancy Pelosi.

Ya know, nine years ago this month I heard Tom DeLay tell the judge (not under oath) in an Austin courtroom that he violated laws because of Nancy Pelosi. And he spit out her last name every time he said it as if it were a vile cuss word.  Nancy made him do it.  It’s all Nancy’s fault.

Damn, y’all, that woman is some kind of powerful.
