Okay, so remember that $20 million raised to build the wall?  You know, where people who love Trump donated their own money to build the ridiculous wall because we didn’t want to pay for something that doesn’t work.

Well, it appears we were right.  You cannot give Republicans money because they spend it on themselves.

Brian Kolfage is heading up the project and promised to have groundbreaking at the end of April.  So far, nothing. Nada. Nilch. Nope.

He ain’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree.  Explaining why they had selected a site to build their portion of the wall but haven’t had a groundbreaking, Kolfage said,“I wish I could name where it’s at, but we can’t name it because of the ACLU, these other liberal groups who want to sue us and impede our progress.”  Dude, we can impede your progress after you start and shut the whole thing down with one writ.

Rumor has it that he spent $1 million of the money on a yacht.  I’m thinking maybe his plan was to park it in the middle of the river to make it harder for people to swim around.

Happily, Kris Kobach and Steve Bannon are on his Board of Directors and I’m certain those two heros are keeping close watch on the books.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Okay, you get to be on the cutting edge of the NRA scandal that’s brewing.

The Wall Street Journal is having some big time fun with leaked documents they received about Wayne LaPierre’s spending habits.

Hey, don’t be picky – it’s pretty easy to spend $39K for clothes in one day.

Wayne LaPierre required the PR firm to pay nearly $14,000 to rent an apartment near the NRA’s headquarters for a summer intern named Megan Allen.

And NRA chatrooms are going crazy about it.

I dunno. Apparently those swan things don’t come cheap.

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

File under “Tone Deaf to Tone Deafness”, Rudy Giuliani thought it would be a really good idea to go to Ukraine to dig for dirt on Hunter Biden, Joe’s youngest son, who has been on the board of Burisma, a Ukranian oil company.  He was also seeking out Ukranian prosecutors to urge them to launch investigations of the younger Biden.  Apparently, he was also seeking information about who in Ukraine may have spoken to Robert Mueller’s investigators.  You read that correctly; even after two years of investigations into Trump’s connections to the Russians and Ukrainians (and thousands of denials from Trumpland), Rudy Giuliani thought it would be a good idea to…wait for it…ask the Ukrainians for help in the 2020 election.

When word got out about the trip, the press pounced, causing a media storm, and the Dems piled on, shaming Rudy to the point where he cancelled the trip.  He attributed the cancellation to “spin” from the Dems, not to his own tone deafness and stupidity.

Ben Shapiro, right wing talker and all round smartass, got owned yesterday by BBC host Andrew Neil, who dared to ask Shapiro about his hypocrisy.  The interview was supposed to be an opportunity for Shapiro to plug his new volume of manure titled The Right Side of History, and ironically subtitled How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great.  His entire premise is hilarious, because exactly zero of his assertions are neither reasoned of moral.

At 16 minutes it’s a long watch, but very entertaining.  If you want to get to the really good stuff, fast forward to about minute 11.  After Shapiro abruptly ended the interview, Neil got in one last shot saying, “…and thank you for showing that anger is not a part of American political discourse.”  LOL.

Trump told Politico that it would be “appropriate” for him to discuss opening an investigation of Joe Biden and his son Hunter with Attorney General Bill Barr.

I kid you not.

“Certainly it would be an appropriate thing to speak to him about, but I have not done that as of yet. … It could be a very big situation,” Trump said in a 15-minute telephone interview on Friday afternoon.

Barr also drew attention during his recent congressional testimony when he demurred on a question about whether anybody in the White House had ever suggested that he launch an investigation.

I completely understand that Bill Barr has never given Trump any reason whatsodamnever to believe that the Attorney General of the United States of America is not the president’s personal attorney, campaign manager, and in charge of dirty tricks.

But here’s the cool part – now that Trump told Politico, he doesn’t have to tell Barr. Barr can just read it and do his master’s bidding.

And now we know why Barr could not answer Kamala Harris.

Thelma thinks Barr is auditioning for a supreme court seat.

Thanks to Deb T. for the heads up.
