Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
About making those MAGA hats into masks….remember they come from China.
Note: Yeah, I know. I just like the irony.

Quite the journey from thumbing your nose the Emoluments Clause, isn’t it monster?
Set to Approve $4.5 Trillion to Bail Out Corporations, Trump Objects to $1 Billion Price Tag for 80,000 Ventilators.
“This is monstrous and people will die.”
Trump, to the dismay of state officials across the U.S., has thus far refused to utilize the Defense Production Act to order private corporations to produce necessary medical equipment, insisting that his administration can make a deal with companies to do so without being compelled by the federal government.
But hospitals around the nation are issuing dire warnings of supply shortages as the coronavirus continues to spread rapidly, and experts are calling on Trump to stop dragging his feet.
“As governors and local leaders around the country are making clear, private efforts without more extensive government support are proving far from sufficient to meet the current and anticipated needs,” more than 100 national security experts wrote in a letter to the president this week.
Some officials in the Trump administration, according to the Times, are worried about the opposite problem: too much medical equipment. “Officials expressed concern about the possibility of ordering too many ventilators, leaving them with an expensive surplus,” the Times reported.
“Think about this. He’s going to kill thousands of people,” tweeted Richard Yeselson, contributing editor at Dissent. “He’s holding up a deal for GM to make 80k ventilators a month right now because he thinks we might have an oversupply of ventilators when we’re dealing with a lethal respiratory virus! Monster.”

3Soap jammed into Donnie’s* mouth and keeping him* a safe distance from a mic will help contain the spread of COVID-19 and cure a lot of what ails the nation. Congress should give some serious thought about what removing the idiot* and his* maladministration from the equation would do for the world.
4Jane & PKM @4,
I do believe that Rump has flat-lined an IQ test. Someone lock him up and bring on Article 25.
5The health care workers and the t-shirt with I screwed New York.
6Has Trump insulated himself from Article 25 by having so many “Acting” Cabinet members?
7Can an Acting cabinet member vote under Article 25?
With many provinces now under lockdown, Canada anticipates it will see four million jobless claims by the time the Covid-19 crisis is over.
This week, the Canadian government announced a $2,000 monthly benefit for citizens put out of work by the virus.

Trump’s death cult finally says it: Time to kill the ‘useless eaters’ for capitalism
Edit: Last Sunday, Donald Trump declared on Twitter: “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”
This slogan, imported from the libertarian far right, signaled an important shift toward ending social distancing and “reopening” the economy, even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread Trump’s mouthpieces at Fox News and elsewhere then began to parrot the same macabre and disturbing argument.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a Republican, told Fox News: “Let’s get back to living… And those of us that are 70-plus, we’ll take care of ourselves.”
Right-wing propagandist Glenn Beck told viewers of his BlazeTV show that Americans who are older should just go back to work and prepare to die: “Even if we all get sick, I would rather die than kill the country.”
Brit Hume of Fox News told Tucker Carlson that he supported Dan Patrick’s view of this potentially lethal transaction:
What we’re living in now, this circumstance as we try to beat this virus, is not sustainable — that the utter collapse of the country’s economy, which many think will happen if this goes on much longer, is an intolerable result… [H]e is saying, for his own part, that he’d be willing to take a risk of getting the disease if that’s what it took to allow the economy to move forward. And he said that because he’s late in life, you know, that he would be perhaps more willing then he might’ve been at a younger age, which seems to me to be an entirely reasonable viewpoint.
What are they really saying? Donald Trump and the Republican Party are now openly willing to sacrifice those Americans they consider to be “useless eaters” — in this case older people, people with pre-existing health conditions and anyone else who may die from the coronavirus pandemic.
On Wednesday, Trump said the quiet part loud, basically admitting on Twitter that his electoral fortunes are tied to the pandemic’s impact on the American economy:
The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!
