Remember seeing the long lines for Trump’s rally where people spent the night waiting?

Click here to see it in all its glory.

A friend reminded me that F. Scott Fitzgerald had some thoughts about Daisy and Tom, who are now the Trump supporters.

“They were careless people.  They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Perfect fit for Trump.

By the way, it came out today that 50 soldiers got brain injuries in the Iran strike.  This is math.  You’d think they could get math right.

Chapter 52 in Trump’s memoirs: Trump reminds us of the time he hired Best People John Bolton in a tweet this morning.

“For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, ‘begged’ me for a non Senate approved job, which I gave him despite many saying ‘Don’t do it, sir,’ takes the job, mistakenly says ‘Libyan Model’ on T.V., and many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?”

And never forget that he knows “all the best words.”

Y’all, he tweeted about Bolton at midnight last night and then restarted at 6:28 this morning.

Republicans are to the point of admitting that Trump did it all but that it’s not impeachable.  That gives me two thoughts: (1) what else are they hiding that they are afraid will come out with witnesses? and (2) if extorting for your personal political benefit the leader of a foreign country with money that belongs to the American people, has been approved by congress, and is desperately needed for that ally’s national defense is not impeachable, what is?

Admit it…you had to think about that for a second, didn’t you?

A couple of years ago, someone asked me in a very public forum, “Did you say, (fill in the blank with something I for sure said)?”  I answered sarcastically, “No, I did not.  Would Dale sass Roy?”

Only three people in this very public place knew what I was talking about and got the joke.  I tried a hint and said, “Dale Evans, Roy Rogers”.  They still didn’t get it.  It was at that moment I fully realized that the days of Dale and Roy were officially over.

Mike Pompeo hasn’t realized that yet.

After his very public fight with NPR reporter and superior intellect holder, Mary Louise Kelly, Pompeo did not know when to shut up.

First he challenged her on the radio and knew he lost so badly that he called her into the principal’s office to chew on her butt.  She walked out with his butt in her back pocket and the only thing he could yell about was that the meeting was supposed to be off the record. He did not deny the facts of what she said.  Kelly said there was no agreement about the meeting being off the record.

He called her “shameful” and that she violated “the basic rules of decency.”

Today, it has been announced that —

The State Department has removed an NPR reporter from a group of journalists traveling this week to Europe and Central Asia with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, days after Pompeo publicly feuded with the news outlet following a tense interview.

Let’s chat about shameful and decency, ya want?

I hope Dale sasses Pompeo upside the head and then runs over him with Nellybelle.

Okay, guys, it’s now 3:45 in the afternoon and Trump’s lawyers still have not mentioned John Bolton’s name so, the way I figure it, they are just waiting to see if more poop is forthcoming.

I’ve got a good feeling that time is on our side, not their’s.

Do they think that everybody will forget Bolton?  In every physical, metaphorical, and spiritual way, he is the elephant in the room.

John Cornyn has learned so much from having Trump Rump for three meals a day. Laws are for other people.

Lookie right here at what the Federal Ethics Commission is concerned about.  Scroll to the three page attachment toward the end and you will find “Apparent Excessive, Prohibited, and Impermissible Contributions” to Texans for Cornyn.

See if any of your friends are on the list.  I suspect that Cornyn knows it’s gonna take a helluva lot of money for him to win reelection in November.

Thanks to Alfred over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
