Remember Chris Christie, y’all?  The guy caught a bad case of The Delusional.

• He grades himself as a B+ governor (with “A moments”) and thinks people will come to the same conclusion.
• He says he doesn’t care about his bad poll numbers, but blames them on the media — mostly the New Jersey press and other “know-nothing voyeurs” — who he said attacked him mercilessly after Bridgegate with a “floodgate” of negative stories and attention.
• He concedes that scandal over closed lanes on the George Washington Bridge changed the course of his administration and political career because he lost “the benefit of the doubt.”
• He “absolutely” believes he’d be president if Donald Trump didn’t enter the race.
• He told Trump to knock it off when he slammed Christie on Bridgegate during the GOP primary.

He seems to have forgotten all about his 25% approval rating other than to blame it on the media.  Sound familiar?  Gives himself a B+ (but really closer to an A) as governor.  Thinks he would be president except … the other delusional guy whipped him.

Ah, those were the days ….

I’m smart! Not like everybody says! Like, dumb. I’m smart, and I want respect!

Sayeth Fredo, Trump, and Christie

Come to find out, Axios got to see a copy of Trump’s real schedule, not the sanitized one for the general public, and you will not be surprised to learn:

The schedule says Trump has “Executive Time” in the Oval Office every day from 8am to 11am, but the reality is he spends that time in his residence, watching TV, making phone calls and tweeting. Trump comes down for his first meeting of the day, which is often an intelligence briefing, at 11am.

I have recently had an opportunity to learn that all the good daytime teevee is on in the afternoon – American Pickers, Alton Brown, Ancient Aliens, Aerial America, and, Honey, that’s just the A’s. So, if he’s watching from 9:00 – 11:00, he’s only seeing those stinkin’ Good Morning shows.  Which suck.

It’s probably as bad as you think it might be:

• On Tuesday, Trump has his first meeting of the day with Chief of Staff John Kelly at11am. He then has “Executive Time” for an hour followed by an hour lunch in the private dining room. Then it’s another 1 hour 15 minutes of “Executive Time” followed by a 45 minute meeting with National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. Then another 15 minutes of “Executive Time” before Trump takes his last meeting of the day — a 3:45pm meeting with the head of Presidential Personnel Johnny DeStefano — before ending his official day at 4:15pm.

Hell, Honey, I’m retired and I have a busier schedule than that.

On the other hand, fixing that hair of his has got to take a whole mess of time.

It’s a pop-up copy of Fire and Fury!

Go see it all!

I often tell you good stories from the little Texas counties surrounding me.  Goliad, just to the southwest of me, is one of them.  I have friends there who keep me up to date.

I want you to meet the Goliad County Judge …

Goliad County Judge Pat Calhoun admits he should not have told county officials he planned to get human hunting tags for them – even if it was just a joke.

He, of course, is a Republican. He has difficulty getting along with … well, I dunno … people.

In Texas, county judges are administrative jobs.  They aren’t real judges. The county judge in my county is a high school graduate with a phony college degree.

Back to Calhoun.  Listen up.

Precinct 3 Commissioner Mickey White, who also filed a complaint, said Calhoun “got in my face” and attempted to intimidate him. White said the judge also told him that he might seek a hunting license that would allow him to kill another official.

“He thinks he is above the law,” White said.

And Buelter said Calhoun’s language and intimidation fell on members of the public, elected officials and county employees.

She said Calhoun told another county department head he would bury the official where “the dogs wouldn’t find them” and shouted and screamed at those attending juvenile court, which Calhoun presides over.

“He gets loud,” she said.

His excuse?  He’s a former Marine Corp major, which under Texas law gives him to right to threaten people’s lives and behave like a total jerk.

He has opponents in the upcoming November election so he has promised to clean up his language.  You know that’s not gonna happen, right?

“I am like a very stable genius.”

Said no genius ever.

Okay, so we talked about how the Voter Fraud Commission was a total bust and they were dissolving it completely while everybody chuckled.

Not so fast, Cowboy.  Apparently we forgot to put a stake in its heart.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, vice chairman of the commission, says we shouldn’t get too excited.

The Kansas official said he expects officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and political appointees overseeing that agency to take over the commission’s work and begin efforts to match state voter rolls to federal databases of noncitizens. He insisted he was not disappointed with the president’s decision.

“It’s the right move,” Kobach said. “It’s a shifting in tactics from having the investigation be done by a federal commission to having it be done by a federal agency. The agency has a greater ability to move quickly to get the investigation done.”

Holy damn cow on farm-fresh grain, ICE is taking over the investigation because it’ better to have an “agency” than a “commission.”  I think what he’s saying is that agencies have guns.

While Kobach admits that ICE knows diddle squat about voter fraud, he is terribly excited about ICE messing in the election process of the United States of damn America.  Somebody please add his name to the Lost His Mind List.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
