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.
No. Sorry. Won’t. I was thinking of hiring a male prostitute for some light entertainment tonight but they’re all in Cleveland making a bundle. I can’t afford what the snacilbupeR will pay. Sigh.
I’m reading a new book “Psychopath Free” about how to recognize them and tools to keep them out of your life. Maybe there’s a chapter on Drumpf.
1I can’t bear to watch. John Aravosis at Americablog got ahold of tRump’s speech and I couldn’t read beyond a paragraph or two.
Will be catching up on my stack of New Yorkers, instead.
2I just got a robo call from Donald Trump. As soon as I heard his voice I hung up. Maybe “they” are taking note of such.
3Yuck! O goddess no! I am admitting to being damn near totally beat. Bed looks, sounds, even smells better than that wasted crowd in Cleveland.
4Think I have to mow the lawn. OR clean toilets. OH well, no RNC for me!
5I forgot to mow the lawn today. I think I will don a headlight and do that instead of watching the apocalyptic show from hell. The mosquitoes are better company than the Snacilbupers.
6I can’t believe the luck. The cable just went off can’t get it to reboot. Now I’m alone with a lot of pop-corn, beer and 1/2 a bottle of JD. I would almost pay cox to not fix it. O well the internet is working.
7Well, I considered watching but have to brush my three Corgis. Sure I could keep the tube on, but I don’t want my dogs exposed to such hate.
8So we listened to Mozart.
Seen on the RNC scrawl…errrr…scroll (paraphrasing): ‘We may have a Trump Dynasty ahead!’.
Ponder on that y’all.
OMFG, Ivanka is laying on some deep bullcrap now, these convention-goers are going to be inundated forehead deep when the Bullshitter-in-Chief speaks..
9Mein Vater, Dein Vater! Heil Trump!
10Frightening.
11JAKvirginia: The entire book is the Shitgibbon’s unauthorized bio.
12You all sound like Republican Senators and former Presidents who suddenly couldn’t locate Cleveland on a map. Maybe someone can set fire to the river again.
Trump is amazing in that, even reading from the ‘prompter, he still sounds incoherent. Hilariously, he’s stepping all over his transitions, which is just as well, because they’re all written like a comedian’s non sequiturs: Speaking of crime… Boy, what about those jobs, huh…. Take my Hillary, please…
Every time he repeats “Law and Order” I hear “Dunh duh!” from the TV show.
Now he’s just reading lists of crimes… It’s Midnight in America! Lock up your daughters, lock up your wives, lock up your back doors, run for your lives!
Direct quote: ONLY I, can fix it.
13I’m having surgery on my foot Monday and pondering that is preferable to watching the Scumpf show. I’m watching old Carol Burnett reruns. Carol, Tim, Harvey, Vicky and the gang are much smarter and would all make better presidents than Scumpf.
Worst of all, no booze in the house tonight. That’s really poor planning on my part.
14The Law and Order Candidate??!!
Does that mean he will turn himself in for committing fraud in perpetrating Trump U? Or will he turn himself in for illegally dumping sewage from his developments? Or will he admit that his shafting people that performed services, expecting pay, was all part of his business plan (if it wasn’t then as a businessman HE SUCKS) (Which wasn’t illegal under bankruptcy law, but was totally slimy)? Or any other transgression that makes a private server irrelevant???
Nah, Law is what happens to other people…
15DaMrs and I – and all da Hachecristos – will keep a good t’awt for ya, dere, Debbo.
16There’s a ‘Royal Family’ for y’all. The proto-Trump Dynasty.
No better argument against monarchies is possible.
Be Afraid, be really askerred.
Gawd, little Baron T looks like a bored, entitled, pampered snot.
17My birthday was July 19th and I have to say that this whole convention has been like one huge present.
18I also have to say the follow-up commentary where I learned:
– Trump is really great and I’m so tired of politicians who just live on sound bites.
– His message tonight seemed to be ‘I may not be the person you like, but I’m the person you NEED.’
19Gracias daChipster. I figure the recovery will be less painful watching Scumpf’s speech.
The local Minneapolis tv news had a Twitter poll asking if Scumpf’s speech tonight had united the snacilbupeR Party. 65% said no.
BTW, Rubio won the Minnesota caucuses, followed by Oozy Croozy. Scumpf was 3rd. They still don’t like him here.
20Anyone else wondering if newly available Roger Ailes will have a role in the new administration? Would fit right in….
21The sight of Mike Pence on his feet applauding anything to do with LGBTQ protection made me sick to my stomach.
22I am a lifelong Democrat and proud of it and will continue to be. But I did watch Trump tonight and some of what he had to say was worth hearing whether or not he is likely to make it happen .
23But there is one phrase that I wish both candidates would include in their speeches and platforms and that is “make Americans respectful again”! I never want to see another campaign run on the kind of slander, hate, disrespect, anonymous vitriol, and just plain vulgarity that have marked this political campaign season from day one. I am fed up with it and with my country as well. I had no idea that there were so many people on both sides who have so little couth, courtesy, intelligence, knowledge of the great diversity of the English language, and respect for themselves and others that they resort to commenting on body parts, bodily functions, four-letter adjectives, and outright lies to try to define their feelings for the opposition and its supporters. In the famous words of that great sleuth, Nero Wolfe, “Pfui”!
I have to wash my hair.
24I was busy flossing my parrot.
25Given the fact that Trump is incompetent, incapable and indifferent to governing; his staff is going to be the President. We are going to see the Night of the Long Knives between now and November as they try to cut each other’s throat.
26Ellen Childress … I so agree with your entire comment! Every. Single. Word of it!!!
27So I watched it. And then I couldn’t sleep. Yes, it frightened me but not about the America I know. It frightened me about the America that Trump wants to impose on us. There was so much in his rant that was ridiculous but the one sentence that made me stand up off the couch was when he talked about the “49 wonderful Americans” killed in the Orlando massacre. Well. He is wrong and he knows it. Two of the victims were here in the USA illegally. And that is the two we know about. I bet there were more. He basically granted these victims American Citizenship to avoid the fact that these immigrants were the victims of crime — not the perpetrators that he portrays all immigrants to be. But, oh yeah, facts don’t matter. Just the narrative.
I think I will go to work this morning and see if I can find my sense of humor somewhere. I lost it about 9:45 last night.
28Because Bill Clinton and I think alike I’m sure I can write this without fear of plagiarism claims, “I loathe the GOP.”
29No snacilbupeR for us last night. Mom came over to continue her lessons from KJ on how to operate the Roku and Netflix. So they watched Disney classics, while Jane and I went out to play a little blackjack. Jane’s happy and I’m very happy having won a little over $700.
daChipster, probably not your Las Vegas style of gambling. We like the rare $5 tables and do what we can with a $40 buy-in. It’s one thing to vacation in NV. But living here, it’s safer to have conservative limits on the ‘investment.’
We share good, too. Will split the winnings between animal rescue and a few favorite progressive candidates. We must have Catherine Cortez Masto fill Harry Reid’s seat, Russ Feingold defeat ‘Ho-Ro, and Tim Canova swamp Debbie WTF Schultz.
30I’m sorry I missed it, but I was sorting my sock collection. Priorities, ya know.
31PKM, I LOVE me the $5 tables. I always go into a casino with a stop loss, and $5 tables make it a last a lot longer. When they first started with the river boats in the Chicago area, they had a $2 table. Man, I MISS those.
32I steeled myself and listened via satellite radio and then TV when I got home. Was stunning (not the good kind). I try to avoid Godwin’s Law, but the screeching and horrid audience response was so reminiscent of those old reels from pre World War 2. This is a frightening time in our country. But, this will make you feel better and let you know there are still fine people in the US: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/07/michelle-obama-carpool-karaoke
33Ellen, totally agree. SICK.OF.IT. I heard yesterday on the radio (yes, that bastion of liberal media, NPR) discussion about the crowds gathering outside the convention center yesterday afternoon — protesters and supporters — and supporters carrying signs saying, “I love Trump’s hate.” Wow
34daChipster, rofl, trust me, whatever anyone might say about me, I am NOT a Libertarian. 😀
It truly is a NV and Green/Progressive thing with me. All that war on whatever is an unmitigated disaster. You can take me to school regarding “prohibition,” without a doubt. But what I lack in historical knowledge is balanced by observable facts, the success of living standards in NV counties with legalized gambling and prostitution. It’s both economically sound and so much safer. Wish NV luck with our ballot effort to legalize pot.
On a national level, let’s legalize peace. Peace between our police and citizens. Peace between our military and the people of the world. All that rhetoric between Donnie and his crowd can be reduced to the insane notion that we can “bomb for peace.” All their efforts to villainize Hilz? Just un-(many words edited in respect to Mama.) If they need what they seem to need, an outlet for their anger, they seriously need to scrutinize Dubya and his cabal of war criminals and what they did to world peace and the global economy.
35For the first time in my life, I am seriously considering buying a gun. At this point, if Trump wins it will be a dictatorship, and if he loses, his supporters will make it anarchy.
36The RNC reminds me of an open, stagnant sewer, with Trump as a huge floating turd. All the roaches (repugs) now have a choice: climb on the Turd or drown in the sewage. Quite a choice for the fate of our country.
RastyBob- how does one go about drinking a John Deere from a bottle?
Ellen Childress- I never want to see another campaign run on the kind of slander, hate, disrespect, anonymous vitriol, and just plain vulgarity that have marked this political campaign season from day one.
Sorry, but you will need to wait for the next life. America is irretrievably broken and cannot be fixed. Even WW3 won’t do it because people will start the blame game immediately.
Libs have had fun assailing wingnuts this week. Next week it is going to be the nastiest critique of democrats ever, guaranteed.
37Totaled my car. Went out to dinner and had a massage. Decided to sleep instead of listening to the fear-monger. I read the “speech” be afraid–but not afraid of his lies. Be afraid of his presidency! Working harder to go blue all the way so we can get back the house and senate.
38Even seeing pence’s face annoys me…….he is a 2 faced a-hole. I hope he never comes back to this state with his mean spirited religion…….he is perfect for trump.
39Barb in DC: I glad to read that we are not the only ones with “a stack of New Yorkers to catch up on”
After a flareup of my reflux, viewing the “invocation”, I upped my Protinix and Trazadone and stopped watching this debacle. I have actually unfriended one old colleague who is still allowing the most ugly Trumpian sentiment on her fb page. She says she supports Johnson, but I just can’t believe her anymore.
40I did watch snippets of the convention, actually, but was so revolted by seeing American people act like rabid hyenas that I couldn’t take much. The “Good” Christian sites exhort us to love and forgive, but I just can’t.
41Micr- I hope you have better taste in women,especially all the ones Clinton allegedly slept with. Except for Elizabeth Gracen. She is mine.
42Michelle Obama is absolutely the Number One Coolest First Lady in the history of first ladies. I don’t expect to see another like her in my lifetime.
Bill will make a decent first First Gentleman. Is he still playing the sax? Even if he is, he will be 2nd to Michelle.
I watched part of one day of the snacilbupeR hate fest and that was plenty. Next week, when I’m laid up, I’ll watch the Democrats hold a real, major party, national, political convention.
43Maggie, I will be “borrowing” your line sometime.
