The Twitterer.

One time when I was on steroids Bubba did fine for about two days, then he started having road rage when he was locked in a car with me.

The idea of waxing the driveway seemed like a good idea to me.  I’m a woman with a housekeeper and I thought waxing the driveway sounded like fun.

Bubba told me over breakfast on the third day, “Look, if you’re going to be up at 3:00 in the morning exercising, I’m just gonna call Lowe’s and have them deliver the materials you’ll need to re-roof the house in the damn dark.”

Trump’s on much stronger steroids than I was.  He’s now on the Twitter machine trying to make a case for the 25th amendment.  Killing the White House staff isn’t enough for him to do – he’s picking fights with everybody on Twitter all day long.

It’s constant.  However, I have noticed that he’s taking a two hours break right now.  I guess he’s re-roofing the White House.

 

Holy Crap

Honey, Honey, Honey ….

The only way that Donald Trump saved Christianity is that he doesn’t go to church, thereby not infecting and killing them all.

Poor Eric, he just came from a deposition where his answer to every question was, “I don’t know,” and he was telling the truth.

 

Last Gasp: Wall Street Turns on Trump

October 06, 2020 By: El Jefe

None other than the likes of Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street Journal, Moody’s, and Bloomberg have turned on Trump, saying that Biden is better for the economy.  In a note to clients, Goldman’s chief economist, Jan Hatzius said,

All else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts. The reason is that it would sharply raise the probability of a fiscal stimulus package of at least $2 trillion shortly after the presidential inauguration on January 20, followed by longer-term spending increases on infrastructure, climate, health care and education that would at least match the likely longer-term tax increases on corporations and upper-income earners.

In the WSJ, Jason Furman, a professor of practice at Harvard, was chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, 2013-17, said,

Over the longer run, the proposed tax increases would help pay for important measures to boost economic growth and ensure that it is shared more broadly. An allowance of at least $3,000 a child is a step that, if made permanent, would reduce child poverty and increase economic mobility. Expanded child care, a critical need exposed by the pandemic, would increase the labor supply. And investments in infrastructure and clean energy would dial up productivity growth. The three other estimates I am aware of for the complete Biden program, from the Penn-Wharton Budget Model, Oxford Economics and Moody’s Economy.com, also predict that it would add to overall economic growth.

Wall Street has clearly turned on Trump, and his own Madness of King George rage tweeting since returning to the Whitehouse while still contagious is cementing opinions that he’s profoundly unfit for office.  Wall Street always votes its own wallet, and it’s learned that their vote in 2016 was folly.  The path here is clear.  Trump must be removed, either by the 25th Amendment or at least at the ballot box.  Enough is enough.

 

Sure, Mike, We Trust You

So, Mike Pence is going back on the agreement to put plexiglass between Kamala and him At the debate tomorrow night.  He says it’s unnecessary.

Nope.  It’s necessary.

To put icing on the cake, he tried to belittle Kamala for wanting the plexiglass.

“If she wants it, she’s more than welcome to surround herself with plexiglass if that makes her feel more comfortable,” Short remarked. “It’s not needed.”

What a freekin’ ninny boy.  I hope he comes home with the business end of stiletto footwear disturbing his walking ability.

Comfortable?  Let’s see who’s more comfortable tomorrow night.

 

Dammit!

So, Trump has decided to kill a stimulus package that would include cash benefits and unemployment.  He said it could wait until after the election.

And in its place, he wants to shove through another wacky rightwing Supreme Court nominee.  Screw Trump but also screw the Senate.

The House did their job but the Senate won’t do it.  Every Republican in the senate should do what is right for America.

 

Here’s The Deal

October 06, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself

GOP insiders were plotting a path to November that looked like this:  Dumping Trump, keeping the senate, and getting the Supreme Court nominee pushed through.  They weren’t thrilled with it but Trump wasn’t raising money and they didn’t see a way out.  So, just as their plan was coming together

“That an actual virus has now infected Trump, his wife, his campaign manager, the head of the Republican National Committee, several advisers, and three senators — many of them at a celebration of Barrett’s nomination — thus throwing all three of the GOP’s 2020 goals into chaos, is a plot twist that would be rejected by any writer as just a little too on the nose.”

And then

 

 

And then Goldman Sachs slams the coffin shut.

Just hours after Trump’s all-caps Monday morning tweet predicting economic disaster, Goldman economists pointed out that polls “suggest a ‘blue wave’ in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely” — and they’re not suggesting investors dump stocks.

In fact, “all else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts,” Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a Monday report.
All because one flaming idiot thought he didn’t look good in a mask.
