On the front of the Trump Hotel in D.C. —-

Yeah, it really happened.

Thanks to Sam in MN for the heads up.

Did anybody else notice something about the Total Craphole counties – El Salvador, Haiti and Africa?

Asked about the “shithole” comments, a White House official told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins this:

“The President’s ‘shithole’ remark is being received much differently inside of the White House than it is outside of it. Though this might enrage Washington, staffers predict the comment will resonate with his base, much like his attacks on NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem did not alienate it.”

Forty thousand had come from Nigeria, Mr. Trump added. Once they had seen the United States, they would never ‘go back to their huts’ in Africa, recalled the two officials, who asked for anonymity to discuss a sensitive conversation in the Oval Office.”

As the Washington Post reports, F-52 jets are fictional planes that are only found in the video game “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

Republicans have four – 4! Count them – convicted criminals running for congress this year.

Don Blankenship, the former head of the coal mining company Massey Energy who is running in the Republican primary to challenge Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.); former Rep. Michael Grimm, who is challenging incumbent Rep. Dan Donovan (R-N.Y.) to reclaim the Staten Island congressional seat he once held; and Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), who is running for re-election.

And as long as we’re counting, 29 Republicans are leaving congress.  Why?  Here’s my theory. They know they built Trump and now they have to buy him. They know how mad people truly are.

That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

All my geeky friends are quivering with excitement at the news that Robert Mueller has brought Ryan K. Dickey, probably the best cyber-crime expert in the whole damn country, on board.

Legal analysts have said that one charge Mueller might pursue would be a conspiracy to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, if he can demonstrate that members of Trump’s team conspired in Russia’s hacking effort to influence the election.

Wouldn’t that be a Hallelujah from Lady Karma?  Proving that Trump is not the legitimate president and might as well been born in Kenya is sweet justice.

Just wanted you to know that.

Missouri Republican Governor Eric Greitens was being groomed to be president one day, until … y’all he’s kinky.  I mean, not that there’s anything wrong with being kinky. You know, until it slides over into blackmail.

It seems the Governor had a affair. But, it wasn’t entirely with mutual consent. There’s a full description right here but I’m not gonna talk about it because … well, Momma. And the fact you need to see it for yourself in the newspaper.

Anyway, during his campaign announcement, he stated: “I’m Eric Greitens, I’m a Navy SEAL, native Missourian and most importantly, a proud husband and father.”

But, not overly proud, you know.  Not too proud to tie up a woman and take pictures of her without her consent.

Republicans built a pedestal of moral superiority and watching them get picked off like ducks at the carnival is entertaining.

Thanks to Deb and Norma for the heads up.

Denton, Texas is in Texas strictly by geographic accident.  It’s 30 miles south of the Oklahoma border and is only in Texas because Fort Worth sucks.

Get this:  Denton Republicans are hosting Sarah Palin at their annual Lincoln/Reagan Day dinner.  Tickets are $125 and for that much money Palin promises to dress very age-inappropriately and wear catch-me-kiss-me leather and stilettos.  Oh hell, what am I thinking?  She’d do that on a pool table in a Klondike bar for $5.

There’s no word on whether or not she’s bringing has-been musicians along for the ride.

If Palin was a thing now days, I’d buy a ticket for someone to go tape her, but, Honey, she doesn’t even have influence in her own house.

Thanks to Karen for the heads up.
