One of our customers, Scott, sent Ted Cruz a message about his vote on the shutdown – Scott didn’t like it.

Scott’s letter apparently pissed Ted Cruz off so badly that Ted put Scott on the receiving end of a publication so putrid, so hateful, so painful, and so immoral that it could only be named Cruz News.

This is taken directly from Cruz News.

I am glad the Schumer shutdown is over. I am glad federal workers will finally be paid. For weeks, Democrats held their paychecks hostage.

Schumer Shutdown!  That’s a crock o’ crap.

As we honored the life of Rev. King, it is fitting that at our great state’s capitol, Texans from every background gathered together for the 2019 Texas School Choice Week rally. I was proud to participate and will continue fighting for school choice.

Oh yeah, the second step to killing free public education is exactly what Dr. King stood for.

And …

The media will obsess over the short-term political fight. But what matters is enacting real solutions to the real problems of this country.

Oh yeah, like the short term political fight over Russians owning our government is certainly not something we should care about.

Sorry, Scott, I suspect that you could unsubscribe but then he’ll probably send a chorus of snakes, cockroaches, and Young Republicans over to your house to sing his newsletter to you.

Just for the record: Crazy Cruz voted for a clean CR without a wall in December, voted against the same bill on Thursday and then voted for it yesterday. So that is a flip-flop-flip for those keeping score at home.

Thanks to Scott and Deb T for the heads up.

My friends – it is well worth your time to watch the whole thing.  Senator Michael Bennet shook the walls.

Give yourself a gift and listen to it all.

It will move your soul.

And here’s the deal. Trump hardly even knows him.

The White House insists the charges of lying to congressional investigators and witness tampering ‘don’t have anything to do with the president.’

So this is what Rudy was all blabbering about on teevee the other night. He knew this was coming.

Mueller has shot down a lot of witches in his witch hunt but this one made the loudest splat sound when it hit the pavement.

Update #2

Alex Jones steals Roger Stones’ plea for money – you can watch it right here.  It’s

After Stone made his plea, Jones abruptly hijacked his fundraising pitch and said that InfoWars is in dire need of more money given all of the money it has to pay out to cover its legal expenses related to things like the defamation suit filed by parents of children who were killed in the Sandy Hook massacre.

 

I promised a report from yesterday so here goes – Little Bubba and his partner Bill won every motion they submitted yesterday and have been granted an opportunity to take a deposition from Alex Jones sometime in March. No, that won’t be open to the public but transcripts (and maybe even video) will be made public.

Jones’ lawyer is a mess.  All I could think is a that this may be the one guy in America who makes Rudy Giuliani look snappy. He comes into the courtroom dragging giant briefcases on wheels, another briefcase over his shoulder and several zipper cases strapped to the handle of the big wheeled brief case.  All we could figure is that he’s got phone books just in case somebody needs a phone number in the tri-county area. Nobody has attempted to carry the New York Pubic Library into a courtroom in years, especially for a damn hearing.

Lil’ Bubba and Bill each have laptops and a legal pad, and they share an iPad. Most law firms have gone paperless.  They have all the knowledge of the world at their fingertips.

It was a good day in court.  Then we went to celebrate.

Lil Bubba talking to a reporter

Do you know who Lara Trump is? That’s Eric’s wife. She’s married to the Alfredo of the Trump Crime Family, which is some social circles is … oh hell, it’s laughable in any damn social circle.

So, Lara reaches out the federal workers who have jobs but no paycheck.  She tells them to quit damn whining.

“We get that this is unfair to you, but this is so much bigger than any one person. It is a little bit of pain, but it’s going to be for the future of our country and their children and their grandchildren and generations after that will thank them for their sacrifice right now.”

Yeah, a woman in a pair of $4,000 shoes telling a Coast Guard wife that having no food, rent, diapers, or money to fill her gas tank that she is making a “small sacrifice,” probably won’t work.  It’ll probably just piss them off.

Honey, Honey, Honey, this is not bigger than one person.  It is exactly the size of one person. And although that person is small and petty, the sacrifice others are making is huge. So, shuddup, you patronizing privileged punk.

Trump found a rhyme.

We have to listen to a rhyme worthy of Humpty Dumpty for two damn years?  I don’t even wanna hear it a second time.

I swear if my Republican neighbor across the street says that to me, I’m gonna remind him that most of the crime in America right now is in the White House.

My reply to Trump? Shuddup and put America back to work.
