Oh my. Trump is so dumb that you can pull a slow one on him.
Lookie right here.
– U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) today extended an offer of employment to Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, so that he can reach the needed length of service after President Trump fired him just days before he was set to retire.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Jimmy Kimble of late night fame went and bought a mess of stuff at the Trump Sons’ store.
Come to find out, most of it wasn’t made in America, like the MAGA people preach. In fact, two of the items did not have a country of origin listed. Which is a problem.
Kimmel said such an omission could lead to potential fines of up to $500,000 if it turns out these products were made overseas.
“This could be very expensive,” Kimmel said. “Not to mention embarrassing. Are they even capable of shame? I mean Trump’s whole platform is about American companies, his company isn’t even supporting America!”
And Kimmel has a way to fix it.
“I’ll just file an official complaint and let them sort it out,” he said to cheers.
You know, if we could sell Republican hypocrites for a dime a dollar, we could build that damn wall.
Thanks to chloe bear for the heads up.
Let us start off with two women in Arizona who took their children on a field trip to a Mosque.
In the series of videos posted to Facebook, the women are seen gathered in a car with Gonzales in the passenger seat narrating the group’s plans to “expose the mosque” with Dauenhauer driving and three children listening closely in the backseat. Upon arrival, the women began ripping flyers from a bulletin board and stealing other materials from the outdoor hallway. The women then praise their children for the burglary.
The children are then seen climbing upon the mosque’s funeral van while one of the women warns a boys about the “dead Muslims” and “sex goats” that she says were once stored in the truck.
They were arrested and charge with a third degree felony and a severe lack of maternal instinct.
And then in Tennessee, the state house salutes Nazis.
A House committee declined to pass a resolution that stated Tennessee denounces white nationalism and neo-Nazism.
The sponsor, Rep. John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, didn’t receive a second motion to proceed with discussing the resolution in the House State Government Subcommittee on Wednesday.
I am sure there’s great people on both sides.
Thanks to Kary and Bob for the heads up.
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has subpoenaed the Trump Organization to turn over documents, including some related to Russia, according to two people briefed on the matter. It is the first known instance of the special counsel demanding documents directly related to President Trump’s businesses, bringing the investigation closer to the president.
This means the investigation will drag on for several more months but if that will bring us closer to finding all of the players, it takes what it takes.
And on a completely other subject. Russians are trying to attend the Texas Democratic Convention. Read what Glen Maxey says about it.
And since news is breaking faster than I can fix it, here’s another story about Russians and our electric grid.
Well, I’ll be damned. Truth snuck up behind Trump and blindsided him upside the head.
In a fundraising speech Wednesday, President Trump admitted once and for all that he just makes stuff up. The man who has racked up more than 2,000 false and misleading claims as president said he insisted to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that United States runs a trade deficit with Canada — despite having “no idea” whether that was the case. (Surprise! It’s not.)
I mean, it’s not like Trudeau couldn’t pull out his phone, go to wiki, and know for a damn fact that Trump was wrong. It’s not like other foreign leaders don’t know who they owe money to or the importance of creating markets.
You know how Trump says that others countries are laughing at us? He’s right and this is why.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Okay, here’s your must-read of the year. I can’t even begin to explain it but I’ll try.
Heimbach
The leader of a neo-nazi group, Matthew Heimbach, got caught making whoopee with his spokesman’s wife while he’s married to the spokesman’s stepdaughter. The spokesman, Matt Parrott, in an amazing moment of self-awareness, called it a “white trash circus.”
That doesn’t even begin to tell the story. There are tidbits to this story that you do not want to miss.
For example …
Parrott stood on a box outside the trailer and watched Heimbach and Jessica have sex inside, according to a police report. When the box broke under Parrott’s weight, he entered the trailer to confront them. Heimbach allegedly choked him and chased him into a house, where Parrott threw a chair at him. Heimbach hit back, choking him into unconsciousness, according to the police report.
When he woke up he fled to a Walmart to call police. What did you expect, Starbucks?
Oh yeah, they all listed their occupation as White Nationalists.
The spokesman resigned and is apparently looking for a job where he can stand on a sturdy box to watch people do some mattress trashing.
Thanks to Sarah for the heads up.
