Dreary Weekend Reading
I do not know about your neck of the woods, but we’re in for a dreary weekend in mine. I can handle cold. I can handle wet. But if you put them both together, I stay in my housecoat and fuzzy slippers all day drinking hot tea with whiskey in it.
So grab a blanket and read through the dreary. Here’s Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony to the House Committee. Skip over the parts at the beginning where lawyers are rattling papers at each other. Lawyers throw paper at each other much the same way that cavemen threw rocks at each other.
As Rachel Maddow said last night, “It reads like a spy novel.”
Thanks to Scott for the reminder!
JJ, you would not have liked Juneau last summer. The reading idea sounds good though. I’m reading Fire and Fury right now. I’ll make a note to check that out next.
1It is not news that Fatso Trump is Laundering money the for the Russia Mob. Been going on a long time.
2Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, heat? You need heat? Maybe thinking about the crap that came out of Lyin’ Ryan’s ****House yesterday will warm you up. To ‘sweeten’ “the pile of dog poo with a cherry on top to appear as a chocolate Sunday”* …
* Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s words, not mine.
… the House allowed a binary choice. We can have 6 years of funding for CHIP, but nothing on DACA. That’s their offer: health insurance for approximately 9 million children, but leave the lives of nearly 800,000 young American adults in a cruel limbo. One Republican Sinator even shared “what’s the hurry” Dotard45 gave Congress until March to do something about DACA. Ya can’t have both. Why not? Because the flipping turtle McConnell in the Senate cannot read the mind of the mindless Dolt45. Meanwhile Donnie will golf, while the Senate mulls over the health of children against the live of the young DACA adults. For $250,000 you can sit at Donnie’s table this weekend while he picks your pocket.
Fusion GPS or Stormy vs Spanky45 for our reading pleasure. Maybe both. There’s a connection there. Stormy relates that Spanky45 liked being slapped on his ample posterior with a cover of Forbes bearing his picture. Enter the more salacious details of the Steele dossier. From spanking to a fetish for particular showers, would that really be a reach? Stay tuned. This is about to become messy not to be confused with Messy the 3rd wife who Donnie was pranking after she gave birth to a son.
3Jane & PKM:
I haven’t seen this said at news web sites out here in cyber space, but I wouldn’t be half surprised if Rumpie’s Communications Director, Hope Hicks (who got the position with no experience what so ever and only 29) is steaming his trousers in-house, too.
4Papa, this day is about to become weirder. Senate Minority Leader is at the WH meeting with Dotard45 as I type. Will DACA be back on to avoid a government shutdown? Advice to Senator Schumer: remember Lucy, the football and Charlie Brown. Donnie can be a brat that way.

5Jane & PKM:
I hope Schumer doesn’t cave to Rump. If the government shuts down, the public will blame Rump and the GOP, not Schumer. We can count on Rumpie tweeting his ire at someone.
6I trust Miz JJ and Rachel to give a good synopsis. I’m going to Winston-Salem tomorrow to join other marchers at Corpening Plaza. I’ll be wearing my newest, brighter pink hat. ;>
7Nice thing about the Intertubes, you can spend the day in your fuzzy slippers sippin’ hot tea and still be productive.
8Thanks for the links.
9Read the whole thing. Why were the republicans who asked questions names were blanked out. I wonder why.
Also, why weren’t the names of all the Congresspersons who attended the meeting listed? Should that not be a matter of public record?
Am going to march with the other women to protest trump.
It’s sunny and 41, a veritable heat wave here, snow is melting.
I only wish it were Spring already!
