‘Cuz it’s here.

CNN says –

A federal appeals court in New York on Tuesday said the Democrat-controlled US House of Representatives may subpoena President Donald Trump’s bank records from Deutsche Bank and Capital One, dealing another blow to the President’s efforts to block Congress’ effort to obtain his financial records.

It was a split decision 2 to 1, but coming close only counts in horseshoes.  Besides, two of the judges were Republican appointees.  The one Republican judge holdout was only a partial dissent. She said she’d send it back to the lower court for more details.

So, Jay Sekulow, who is slimy as a snail trail, says they are headed for the Supreme Court. I haven’t trusted those sumbitches since Bush v Gore.

Okay, so there’s an unauthorized biography of Melania on the market. While I would never buy or read such trash, I read the nibbles like they were secret codes to the free candy machine.

While the president sleeps in the master bedroom on the second level of the White House residence — he requested a lock for his door — Mrs. Trump stays on the third floor, in the two-room space formerly occupied by Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, Bennett reports.

Can we get a lock for America?

I think I’ve told you before that I live in the most diverse county in Texas and occasionally it makes the list for the most diverse county in America.  We are roughly split evenly between Anglos, Hispanics, Blacks, and Asians.  This is really tough for Anglo Republicans.

One of our state representative districts is currently held by 74 year old Rick Miller. Rick got statewide attention a couple of years ago for sponsoring anti-LGBTQ legislation. His son, Beau, is a highly respected Houston lawyer who was recently elected a district court judge. Beau is gay and is HIV positive.

Rick just barely pulled out a win two years ago. He’s worried, and he’s especially worried because for the first time since he won the seat, he’s facing primary opponents.  Rick made the newspaper again.

He summed up one of his opponents like this: “He’s a Korean,” said Miller, describing Jacey Jetton, a former chairman of the Fort Bend GOP. “He has decided because, because he is an Asian that my district might need an Asian to win. And that’s kind of racist in my mind, but anyway, that’s not necessary, at least not yet.”

A second Republican primary candidate, Houston Fire Department analyst Leonard Chan, “jumped in probably for the same reason,” said Miller, 74, during an interview with Hearst Newspapers. “I don’t know, I never met the guy. I have no idea who he is. He has not been around Republican channels at all, but he’s an Asian.”

To make matters worse, two of his Democratic opponents are Asian Americans.

Rick, like most old white Republican men, live in horror that all these new minorities are gonna get elected and then treat Rick like Rick treated them.

Welcome, y’all, to the Texas Republican Party, where old conservative white men are real scared.  Ain’t that some kind of wonderful?

Customer Michele sent us a great way to start a week.

Click right here. And don’t forget the picture at the bottom.

Rick Perry calls him the Kickback Kid.

Have fun!

Remember Hope Hicks?  You know, the fashion model turned practically presidential chief of staff?

Well, don’t you find that it’s interesting that the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign have given a million dollars to her lawyers?  Well, I exaggerate, it’s only $981,849.27. Her lawyers are Trout Cacheris & Janis PLLC.

It started as $600,000 last summer, but has shot upward since then.

You know who has got to feel really, really bad about this?  Stormy Daniels.  That girl settled for $130,000.

If you’re wondering if it’s a conflict of interest or unethical for Trump to pay for Hicks’ lawyer when Hicks likely has dirt on Trump, the answer is yeah, probably.

But those aren’t the only lawyers on the Trump/RNC attorney rental fees.

Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow:

CONSTITUTIONAL LITIGATION & ADVOCACY GR 119 2ND STREET N.E.  WASHINGTON, DC 20002  10/11/2019                LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES         60,000.00

Pence’s personal lawyer:

MCGUIRE WOODS LLP    800 E. CANAL STREET  RICHMOND, Virginia 232193916  10/18/2019           LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES 42,123.31

Corey Lewandowski’s lawyers:

MINTZ LEVIN FIRM ACCOUNT     666 THIRD AVENUE  NEW YORK, New York 10017  10/18/2019     LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES 128,418.19

I’m sure the RNC thinks the $130,00 it spent to have Lewandowski make the House Judiciary Committee Dems look like chums money well spent.  It appears that the going rate for screwing somebody is around $130,000.

Thanks to Alfredo for the heads up.
