Okay, okay, let us use this as a teaching moment.

Hyperbole: deliberate extreme exaggeration or overstatement.

Sarcasm: a sharp form of humor, intended to hurt, sometimes conveyed in speech with vocal over-emphasis insincerely saying something which is the opposite of one’s intended meaning.

When the Leader of the Republican Party said that Barack Obama is the founder of Isis, he was not being sarcastic because (1) it was not humorous, and (2) he did not mean the exact opposite.

He was also not using sarcasm because he said he wasn’t.

There is also Satire, which is Hyperbole and Sarcasm with an advanced degree.  Donald Trump would not recognize it if it bit him on the butt.

There, I feel better.

A prosecutor in Madison County, Indiana, by the name of Rodney Cummings, was at a restaurant called Texas Roadhouse at 11:00 pm so he did what comes naturally in Texas.  He shot something.

Cummings said he thinks his new 9 mm gun’s safety disengaged when he placed it inside the front pocket of his shorts. The gun then fired into the floor as Cummings walked out the door.

Okay, so the safety was off and there was a round in the chamber.  He put it in the front pocket of his shorts.  If the only thing he shot was the floor, he ain’t carrying much else in his shorts, if ya know what I mean.

Cummings claims he has carried a gun for 36 years as both a prosecutor and a police officer.

“I will not in the future have a round in the chamber,” he said. “It’s just not worth the risk.”

Good thinkin’, Perry Mason.

I want to you watch this YouTube about a little diner in Liverpool, New York, that is filled with some genuine rightwing gun lovin’ Obama-hatin’, anti-human kindness empty calories.

Michael Tassone is what you would call the typical American conservative: he lives in fear and hates everything. His diner’s menu is full of clever plate names like “The Obama Plate,” consisting eggs and toast for $3.69 with a tax of $27. Yes, very clever. He also features the “Anti-Michelle Obama Don’t Tell Me What To Eat Or Feed My Kids Burger.” Lots of effort went into making this diner the perfect place for idiots to eat.

 

Well, as you probably guess, that picture of Tassone look an awful lot like a mug shot because that’s what it is.

You’re gonna love the hell out of this.

The owner of a diner whose menu includes a “Dictator Obama” egg special that comes with a grossly inflated tax has admitted he defrauded the government of more than $23,000 in welfare benefits.

Tassone paid $23,354 in restitution to the Onondaga County Department of Social Services as part of the disposition of the five-year-old case, Senior Assistant District Attorney Michael Kasmarek said.

I am certain that Obama made him do it.

It was Medicaid fraud.

Okay, so remember when the Nominee of the Republican Party (another name for Trump so people don’t forget about the other Republican candidates who support him) anyway, remember how he just had himself a conniption fit because the father of the Orlando shooter attended a Hillary Clinton rally?

Well, as he was saying that, lookie who was sitting right behind the Nominee of the Republican Party —

Recognize that guy?

I’ll be damned if it isn’t Mark Foley, the disgraced Florida congressman who was forced to resign his seat in 2006 when it was discovered that he had sent lewd text message to teenage congressional pages.

Oh well, maybe they had a Dirty Ole Men get-together afterwards.

The Leader of the Republican Party (my new name for Trump) has repeatedly said that Leader of the Democratic Party (President Barack Obama) founded Isis.  And that Isis was co-founded by Hillary Clinton.

I think George W Bush ought to sue Trump for giving Obama the credit for his work.

Y’all, Liz Cheney is baaaack.

After she bombed in a terribly embarrassing race for both herself and her mother, she has now decided to run for Wyoming’s open House seat.

In large part because of her name recognition, Cheney is expected to win next Tuesday’s eight-way primary for the at-large seat. Current GOP Rep. Cynthia Lummis is retiring at the end of the term.

However, there are 8 people in the race so that pretty much makes it a crap shoot.  But, there is the semi-shocking fact that she has 15 times the amount of campaign money than her closest competitor.  And who is giving her all that money?  The usual suspects.

Besides donations from both former Bush presidents, she’s received contributions from, among others, GOP establishment heavyweights like former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, former Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman, former George W. Bush senior adviser Karl Rove, former national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, former Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott and Texas Rep. Pete Sessions.

That’s so cute – she’s a daddy’s girl.

Her campaign slogan:  Restore the Bush-Cheney White House to the Congress!  (Not really, I just made that up.)

I always like her smarter sister better.

Thanks to everybody for the head up.
