Charlene, our foreign correspondent from the People’s Republic of Austin, send us proof of Betomania in Texas.

This is Beto’s headquarters in Austin on Wheless Lane in the Windsor Park neighborhood.   The artists are Dylan O’Conner and Jeff Gerdes.

Thanks to Charlene for the heads up.

They say there are caravans of troops passing through.  So, I guess Trump got his military parade after all.

 

 

I Don’t Even Know What To Say

If you need an excuse to eat ice cream and I generally don’t but this will make it more fun, Ben and Jerry have come to your rescue.  It’s Anti- Trump flavor.

“The company cannot be silent in the face of President Trump’s policies that attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and gender equity, climate change, LGBTQ rights and refugee and immigrant rights – all issues that have been at the core of the company’s social mission for 40 years,” Ben & Jerry’s said in a statement.

It’s called, of course, Pecan Resist.

 

Now get ready for this.

The Limited Batch flavor – chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts and fudge-covered almonds – is part of the company’s campaign to “lick injustice and champion those fighting to create a more just and equitable nation for us all,” it said Tuesday.

Look at all those nuts.  And it how I like my nuts, instead of under a MAGA hat.

Profits go to charity, of course.

 

Chilling

So, Miss Lindsey Graham is promising to introduce legislation to end birthright citizenship so that Trump won’t have to make it an executive order.  You know, so Trump can use an executive order ending the crummy first amendment.

I thought Lindsey was the guy who ran around spouting that he believed in the Constitution and I don’t.

Ending birthright citizenship is unconstitutional but who the hell is gonna stop them?  Brett Kavanaugh?

And then you gotta wonder, how about grown people who were born here to undocumented workers and now have children of their own?  Do they have to go back and take their children with them?

Y’all, if we don’t take back the House, we are so screwed.

By the way, Texans, Ted Cruz supports Trump on this issue and he calls himself “a constitutionalist.”  Dope.

 

Here’s Something We Can Agree On

Well, lookie here.  It’s election season and nobody wants to stand with Trump in Pittsburg.

Both House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) were unable to make the trip due to scheduling conflicts, while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) also decided not to attend.

I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that Trump is going to do something insane in Pittsburg.  I think the congressional leaders feel it, too.

And so do these guys …

His visit to the city has been met with some backlash. A group of progressive Jewish leaders penned an open letter on Sunday telling the president he is not welcome until he denounces white nationalism.

More than 57,000 people have signed a petition from the group, the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, telling Trump he’s not welcome in the city.

It’ll be interesting.
