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.
Christie doesn’t have a chance in heck and he knows it… but he does need to build up a campaign war chest that he can use to pay defense attorneys…. that’s what must Republicans do after they lose…
1Brian: Sad but true.
2Maybe he will perform a public service by bullying a few of the others out of the clown car. Other than that, don’t see much point in his joining the race.
3This is silly but I found it funny: http://cheezburger.com/8510499072
It’s a facebook post (names redacted) warning “I just found out I am apparently also a Republican Presidential candidate, and I’m not even a Republican! Don’t let this happen to you.”
4Is there a way to keep track of who is “officially” running for president? Most of these clowns have been running for years and we’re sick of them already, and I’m not far off including Clinton in that.
5The Outlaw Jersey Whale grifting … again.
Republicans are supporters of for profit prisons. Free the non-violent drug users and give those beds to GOP politicians. Whale, Wanker and Perry would be a good start. How about Jindal? St00pid has yet to be declared a felony, but has he committed any other felonies in his destruction of Louisiana?
6So let’s see, that brings the totals to:
1 guy under indictment
2 guys under investigation
4 guys with melanin
2 women, one of whom won’t admit it
1 Donald Dick+1 Bush+1 Frothy Mixture = 1 Grand old party
1 Skypilot Godgrifter
1 Aquabuddha
And George Pataki, who is so dull as to defy even my artfully hip irony, except to say that, if elected, George Pataki’s Secret Service name will be…George Pataki. And his Inaugural Address will begin “My Fellow Americans… is this thing on?”
7Hollyanna, you gave my sleepy cynical side a wake-up call. Christie is toxic political toast. But …. the GOP has to be worried about loose cannon Trump sawing every candidate off at the knees. Seeing some “favor bank” in a Christie run. If he stuffs one of his ugly sweat socks into Das Donald’s mouth, there will be a Republican judge available to make all his crime worries go away.
So, yeah he’s running. But it’s 2-3 odds that he’ll blow out, once he’s done his job and neutralized the other big mouth, Donald.
Jumping the shark, riding the shark, and inadvertently feeding the shark; Republican politics at its finest.
8I heard his campaign slogan was:
You build the bridges
9I’ll shut ’em down.
I think most of us here can see that this ‘bait and switch’ game is becoming somewhat of a nightmare. The best thing to do at this time is to ignore this batsh*t crazy circus as Louis K expounded upon with CNN until sometime later this year.
I hate that the news is diverted from real issues right now.
I like Bernie Sanders but really think he is going to do what Ralph Nader did sometime back and split the progressive voters and insure that Hillary Clinton, if nominated, will lose. Not a good thing IMHO. Do we have any other viable candidates???? I dunno.
10Christie is a joke–he personifies the NE political stereotype of a “perhaps liberal Dem.”
11Pataki, translation, he who never gets the memo.
12I’d love to see those loudmouths, Christie and Trump go at each other in a debate, but since they are so low on the totem pole they may not be included in the debates. Nuts!
13JaneE, Senator Sanders has entered the race as a Democrat. He may win or lose the primaries. But what he isn’t is a third party candidate, as was Ralph Nader. He’s a sane man. If he wins, he will move the country forward. If he loses, I seriously doubt that he would mount a third party candidacy. As with the rest of us, he understands the dangers of another Republican anywhere near the White House.
Unlike mega ego Donald Trump, who if his mischief in the GOP primaries fails him could very well mount a third party candidacy. Go, Donald go! Siphon off those votes for whichever clown the GOP nominates.
I like Senator Sanders; much like I liked the young Senator Obama. Are either perfect or do I agree with them on all issues? No. While HRC throws my BS meter into a full tornado tailspin, 2016 and beyond is important that no Republican ever occupy the White House. Too many aging members of the SCOTUS to ever consider allowing a Republican to seat a member.
It’s early in the election season. I hope Senator Sanders gives Sec/Senator Clinton a good challenge. In fact, I do hope that he wins the nomination. But if he doesn’t, I am prepared to suck it up once again and vote for HRC, the least obnoxious choice. Lesser of two evils blows as a ballot selection. But, I can say without knowing who will emerge from the slop on the Republican side, no way no how will I ever vote Republican, until some one of them gets off the Koch/Adelson teat and learns to use the face of Trickle Down Reagan as a urinal.
14Both Trump and Christie have hidden, fulminating problems that can spring to life during the primary campaign season. As a matter of fact, I’m about to find the right kind of music to cover those two revelations!
15In deference to JaneE, I don’t see how Bernie Sanders can split the vote if he continues to run as a democrat. I fHillary wins the nomination, I think Sen. Sanders will wish her well, and withdraw from the race. He’s no egomaniacal Ralph Nader.
16Just when I thought we had hit bottom with Jindal, the governor of my state lumbers in and is running or shall we stay rolling into the presidential race. I wish I had been fasting when I read this because I threw up a little in my mouth. Let’s hope he is kicked to the curb quickly and vanishes into a haze of cholesterol so he can’t do any more damage to NJ or the United States of Murica.
17Over at Eschaton, Snarki Son of Loki observed that Mr. Christie will announce his inevitable withdrawal from the race in Lakehurst, NJ … because “it’s just the place for an enormous Nazi gasbag to go up in flames.”
18So Christie is crossing the bridge, so to speak. Despite his bariatric surgery, I hope it doesn’t break under his weight.
19@JaneE, no worries. Sanders has said he will not run a third party candidacy. That’s why he’s running as a Democrat, not an Independent.
20Thanks for edumicating me, duh oh. I didn’t realize Bernie was in as a Democrat. Ooops! Nevermind.
21Yeesh!! There are now 98 Republican candidates registered with the FEC! Relax, at least a little bit. That is down from 132 in 2012! Watch for something in Christie’s prosecutorial past come up and bit him where it hurts. Remember the Fort Dix Five? Well, despite what Christie says, the Fort Dix Five may very well be – ahem! – innocent.
22daChipster, it’s no longer a Repub clown car. It’s a combination hospital car and paddy wagon.
23I don’t know who appalls me more but Jumped Up Jindal has got to be at the top of the list. I liked one story that claimed that even his kids don’t take him seriously.
