It was just a matter of time ….

Haines City police say 26-year-old James Blight – yeah, his name is Blight – stole a bulldozer from a construction site and proceeded to ride his happy butt through Haines City, tearing down Biden signs and even running down a taxpayer owned speed limit sign.  You’d think violating the city speed limits is probably the last of his worries in a damn bulldozer.  He’s apparently a fan of the anarchy crowd, too.

He been charged with grand theft auto because they apparently do not have grand theft bulldozer in Florida, which is a wonder because it’s Florida.

So, if Trump loses Florida he can blame it on the bulldozer guy for his bad choice of vehicles for the job. Everybody knows you steal a backhoe for a delicate job like that.

Another treat from Nick Caraway

If I’ve learned anything about hanging out with the Buchanon’s it is that they are experts at the self-own. There is no better self-own than the joke at someone else’s expense. They sounds so smart and so smug. What they don’t realize is that this joke ends up making them look bad in the end.

We saw the following on Twitter right after the debate. “Did @realDonaldTrump

just say 545 kids they can’t find their parents for came over through “cartels and coyotes”?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord—–stop talking. #FinalDebate“

Of course, conservative twitter and those on social media couldn’t resist the temptation. The struck on the representative’s naïve nature and pounced. Seems she didn’t know that coyotes referred to drug smugglers. It was a general theme from the night. Trump played the Fox News greatest hits while most of America was puzzled.

Conservative folks got a cheap laugh out of that picture. I have to admit it was funny. The problem is that the joke is on them. Most people pay enough attention to know that those 545 kids were separated from their parents. They weren’t smugglers, coyotes, or very bad people. They just wanted a better life for themselves and their children.

So, maybe they got a cheap laugh. They also showed their true colors. We always knew these folks. We knew what they were all about. The few undecideds know too. It might be too much to hope that a few people will be turned off by the president and these cheap jokes. It’s one of the main reasons I left New York in the first place.”

Headlines all over the place: Trump’s chief of staff says “we are not going to control the pandemic.”

No shoot, Sherlock.  Mark Meadows is flying the white flag on his beanie cap today. He gives up.

But, he goes back to the flu …

Pressed by Tapper on why the US isn’t going to get the pandemic under control, Meadows said: “Because it is a contagious virus just like the flu.” He added that the Trump administration is “making efforts to contain it.”

Let’s quit calling it the flu. It is not the flu. It’s more like leprosy, except more deadly.  How come everybody in the world has it more under control than we do?

Now we find out that five members of Mike Pence’s  staff is sick with it.

MUST READ.  LONG, BUT MUST READ.

The Atlantic is reporting that the Trump campaign has been conspiring for MONTHS to steal the election, no matter what the will of the voters.  The plan is much like we’ve talked about before, but even worse. Trump’s nonsense is now starting actually make sense; his continuous ranting about mail in voter fraud has been a signal for loyalists to vote in person, because millions of mail in ballots will be declared fraudulent, justifying his refusal to concede an election he’ll clearly lose.  Trump has been coordinating with Republican lawyers and legislatures in the battleground states to ignore the popular vote (citing said alleged fraud) and appoint electors to vote for Trump no matter the actual vote in those states.

This report is bone chilling, but connects all the dots.  Michael Cohen was right; Trump will never leave office willingly, and is depending on corrupt politicians in the battleground states to violate their oaths to the Constitution and the people to keep him in office.

Spread this far and wide.

Donald Trump has finally, finally come up with his list of top priorities a week before election day.

I know you’ll be relieved and impressed to know about the moon thing.

Hey, I’m all for this moon thing if he’s the dude we’re gonna put on the moon permanently. Ole rotting Mitch can go with him.

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.

Everybody all over the internet is wondering what the hell happened to Mitch McConnell’s hands.

Honey, that’s what happens to your hands when you sit on them for 47 years.
