Astros win!

Ok, seriously…two Giuliani associates, Ukraine born Lev Parma, and Belarusian born Igor Fruman were arrested last night trying to board a flight out of the country at Dulles airport after having lunch earlier in the day with…wait for it…Rudy Giuliani.  And guess where they had lunch…that’s right, the Trump International Hotel.  They’re now charged with funneling foreign money (including from a Russian oligarch) into pro-Trump PACs to influence US politicians including our own Pete Sessions, former congressvarmit.  Sessions has been exposed for pushing the State Department to fire former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yavanovich; Parma and Fruman have been implicated in that ousting.  Why was she ousted, you ask?  For being “anti-Trump”.

Also, Trump unilaterally announced the withdrawl of support of longstanding allies, the Kurds of Northern Syria.  Recall that the Kurds led the way in ousting ISIS from Syria, and for holding 50,000 former ISIS fighters in prison.  All those bets are off, and some Republicans, including Lindsey Graham have actually learned to stand without spines against Trump’s rashness.

Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka have reported $82 million in income during 2018 while serving in the White House, 4 more White House staff are reported to have blown the whistle on Trump’s shakedown of Zelensky, and Trump continues spouting bullshit in Hitleresque political rallies.

Oh, and Rick Perry’s been subpoenaed to testify before the impeachment inquiry about his involvement in shaking down Ukraine to get them to manufacture dirt on a political rival.

But, please…let’s talk about Biden.

Y’all, I am a happy woman.

Yep. He has to bring his happy butt to testify before congress where oppsies aren’t allowed. Get the team together for watch parties.

Perry on Thursday was subpoenaed by the three House committees — Oversight, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs — leading the investigation into whether Trump abused his power by pushing Ukraine to investigate political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Now this means he has to tell the same story three times. He can’t do that. He can’t tell the same story twice, Honey.

RickPerry at the Intelligence Committee! Here, take my money and give me a ticket.

Holy Jesus.  Today, for some unknown reason, Tarrant Country Sheriff, and Guy Who Listens to Too Much Rush Limbaugh, Bill Waybourn, was asked to address the nation from the White House press room about immigration.  Before I discuss his shameful tirade, I’ll give him a little advice about one bad habit that he, and many other ignorant big tuff guys from Texas have…

TAKE OFF YOUR FUCKING HAT.

If Ol’ Man Papa Jefe were alive today and in that room, he would’ve slapped that silly Cavender’s-Made-in-China Chamber Pot off his head telling him he had no manners wearing his hat in the house. He would ask loudly if he was raised in a barn, which apparently Waybourn was.  I learned that lesson early and well.

Now, onto said Waybourn’s hateful statement – during his rant, he had some choice things to say about those dark skinned people coming across our southern border.  Among his remarkable claims were that “they are drunks who will run over your children,” and “they will run over my children.”  He ranted on and on about a “California judge making law,” and other nonsense.

What an embarrassment.  Using the platform of the White House for these kinds of screeds in uniform is nothing short of shameful.  Here it is if you can hold your nose long enough.  The screed starts around 46:00.

The Good – I’ve been meaning to tell y’all about this for a while now and I keep forgetting.  If you haven’t heard of Penzeys Spices, haul yourself  over there and take a look around. You’ll find the spices and lots of recipes explaining how to use them.  I am a Penzeys fan because their spices are fresh, cheap, and really, really good. I think I put “Justice” on just about everything. They have amazing sales (wait for one!) and if you sign up for their emails, you get notices of them. They also offer sample sizes so you can try before you invest. Plus, their bottles are so adorable.

The Bad – A Texas sheriff says that migrants are “drunks” who will “run over your children.” He is from Tarrant County – thank Fort Worth – the last Republican big city stronghold in Texas.  Thankfully, the Republicans are fading fast there.

The Climbers – An 8 year old climbed Trump’s wall.

So if you’re in the truck shopping business, and who isn’t?, have I got a deal for you in South Carolina

The South Carolina dealership posted their “latest greatest” promotion on Facebook last week, saying the deal is good through November.

“For the months of October and November, Carolina ford will be giving away a Bible, an American Flag and a Smith & Wesson AR with every vehicle purchased!!!!” Carolina Fords posted. “So if you have been waiting for a great deal on a new or pre-owned vehicle then now is the time to jump on it.”

They have taken the ad off Facebook because liberals are just no damn fun.

This is a real picture of the promo.  I think that’s Dwayne and Cooter posing for the picture. Cooter can’t read so I do not know why the gave him the Bible.

You wanna know what really surprises me?  That nobody in South Carolina has come up with a pickup truck gun rack for an AR.  I mean, what’s the reason to have one if you can’t decorate your truck with it?

I thought one of the happiest days of my life was in 2018 when Democrat Colin Allred handed a severe case of electile dysfunction to Texas Republican congressman Pistol Pete Sessions.

Pete packed his bags and moved to a new district that’s more Republican and has announced that he’s running there because the people you represent is just incidental to you being in damn congress.

Okay, here’s the smiling part.

WASHINGTON—Two Soviet-born donors to a pro-Trump fundraising committee who helped Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate Democrat Joe Biden were arrested late Wednesday on criminal charges of violating campaign finance rules and are expected to appear in court on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Okay, so these evil doers formed a political PAC and threw major money around like it was beads at Mardi Gras.  A couple of days ago The Daily Beast predicted what was going to happen.

The more than $3 million that the group, America First Action, spent supporting former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) included huge ad buys that appear to have pushed the boundaries of laws restricting super PAC coordination with political campaigns, according to a Daily Beast review of federal campaign finance and television broadcasting records. And they could severely complicate the former congressman’s attempt to win back office in 2020.

If the kids at The Daily Beast have a magic ball, we need to get one because it worked like a $50 hammer on a greased nail.

So, these Giuliani puppets spent $3 million of illegal money trying to get Pete Sessions reelected and he still lost.  And somebody is in handcuffs over it – somebody who’s liable to scream loud and long.

First Rick Perry gets butt deep in this Ukraine mess and now Sessions. While I could not argue that they both are useful idiots, I also believe that they both knew the real intent, other than making big money for their friends, was to hurt a leading Democrat.  Hurting the Democrat was icing on the cake.

Here’s the whole indictment.  Pistol Pete is referred to as Congressman 1.

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