Swamp creature Duncan Hunter just keep sinking lower and lower.

Not only did he and his wife steal money from their campaign contributions, Hunter didn’t have just one affair — oh no — this sucker went marathon.  He had affairs with a staff member and at least three lobbyist.  This dude can make some whoopee.

And here’s a fun point:

In March 2010, Hunter and the lobbyist went on a weekend “double date” trip to Virginia Beach with another congressman. Prosecutors said he paid for the hotel bar tab and room he shared with the unnamed lobbyist with $905 of campaign funds. He also had the mileage for the drive to Virginia Beach reimbursed by the campaign – even though the lobbyist did the driving.

I can hardly wait to find out who the other congressman was.

But the one thing everybody seem to be interested in is whatever the hell this is.  (Click here for the big one.)

.

I gotta tell ya – it’s hard to be the goofiest congressman in Texas.  That ain’t no easy job what with all the competition and whatnot.

For example, Texas Republican Congressman Michael Burgess sleeps very well at night knowing that what I see as a crime against humanity is merely children acting of their own free will.

He said this (and stand back Louie, because these words might explode at any minute).

Michael Burgess (R-Texas) on Monday said that migrant children at a facility in Texas are “free to leave at any time” but don’t because they are receiving good care.

“There’s not a lock on the door,” the lawmaker said while defending the conditions at a facility he visited. “Any child is free to leave at any time. But they don’t and you know why? Because they’re well taken care of and yes at some point they are going to live with family, generally not mother or father but some family member, that’s a good thing.”

He was damn serious. The doors aren’t locked? What the hell is that? Three year olds can just walk out and go get a job?

Burgess, there’s a real special place in hell for you.

Y’all, Donald Trump got himself worked into a lather this morning with a series of tweets meant to scare the people he backed out of bombing just last week.

The statement that got Trump all pissy?  Iran called the White House “mentally retarded.”  Like that’s the first time somebody said that.

And then there’s an evidentiary standard.

• President Donald Trump in an announcement Monday said the US was imposing sanctions on Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini — who has been dead since 1989.

So, ya know, maybe this was a diagnosis and not an insult. Maybe. Yeah, definitely.

Obliteration?  That’s a big word for a little man.  And to think that he backed out last week because 150 people would have died.

How much nice and compassion would $1.5 trillion have bought in the United States?

Okay, so now it looks like Mike Flynn might be going to jail.

Flynn’s first two lawyers worked out a deal that in exchange for cooperation with the Feds, Flynn would pretty much walk free and clear.  The judge was dubious about doing that because, after all, Flynn sold out his country, so things got postponed.

Now Flynn has a new lawyer.  She’s Sydney Powell.

The lawyer, Sidney Powell, is a conservative commentator who frequently appears on Fox News and sells t-shirts that say “Creeps on a Mission” featuring images of Mueller, former FBI Director James Comey and other Justice Department officials.

Yeah, she’s a snake oil hawker just looking to make a dime in this crummy world.

Hint: never hire a lawyer who makes a living off self promotion on the teevee and the internet machine.

Jonathan Stickland (M-Bedford) (the M is for Moron) has announced that he’s not going to run for reelection next year.  Normally when an idiot like Stickland announces leaving, I would celebrate, but Bedford has been infested with a terminal case Teabag syndrome, and God knows who’ll run to take his place.  As one commenter said to the accompanying story about Stickland bowing out, “even if Bedford elected a potted plant, it would raise the average IQ of the Texas House by 20 points.”  That may be true, and I’m certainly will for them to test that hypothesis.

Stickland has given an assist to gun nuts who’s soul purpose in life is putting a gun into the hands of every screwball and criminal in Texas (calling it Constitutional); he’s also helped laid waste to Texas education system, healthcare system, and anything the state did to help people in need.

I say good riddance and that I hope an adult in Bedford will stand up and take this seat away from the weirdos and screwballs.

My goal in life is to find someone who texts me like Sean Hannity does Paul Manafort.

In all fairness to Sean, Manafort does tell him he loves him at least once…..

This weekend a federal judge released fifty pages of texts between Sean Hannity and Paul Manafort.  It’s easy reading because neither of them knows a lot of big words.

… one thing is abundantly clear—from July 2017 to June 2018, Hannity was frequently talking to Paul Manafort to offer his help in shaping coverage of the story. In Hannity’s own words, “If you ever talk, vent, grab dinner, strategize, whatever—I’m here.” In fact, he made several offers to Manafort to “strategize.”

Hannity seems more than willing to violate a judge’s gag order by suggesting that Manafort’s lawyer “send me stuff” and Hannity will put it out on the air.

I am also amused by all Hannity’s talk about religion and the disciples and prayer and in the next breath drops the F bomb on Mueller.

Hey, Hollywood!  Aren’t we ready for a Miscreant Buddy movie?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
