As we await the Barr Report on the Mueller Report, Trump’s TeeVee Howlers are proclaiming “nothing to see here”, and “the witch hunt is finally over”.  We all know, though, that it’s not over, not by a long shot.  Mueller sending his report to Justice is just the end of the beginning.  The Dems are already talking about subpoenaing Mueller to testify before the House Intelligence Committee in their own investigation.  The State of New York has multiple criminal investigations against Trump’s “charity”, his real estate company, and against individuals tied to him like Roger Stone and Michael Cohen.  The most ironic investigation is the one of Trump’s inaugural committee where ACTUAL collusion with foreign powers is pretty apparent with evidence of using straw donors to launder money into the Trump’s coffers.

Trump, who usually spends his nights and weekends tweet-raging, is uncharacteristically quiet this weekend, hiding and playing golf in Mara Lago.  You know that Barr has already reported Mueller’s findings to him; also, he has not yet provided the promised summary of the findings to the public. That his attorneys are with him his no surprise.  The White House is claiming there is no war room set up in Trumpland, but you know that’s bullshit, and that his legal team is all hands on deck.

With 37 indictments, 8 guilty pleas, prison sentences and multiple trials in various stages, my guess is that the contents of this report is not nothing.  This is just the end of the Mueller investigation, which is just the beginning of a multi-front legal and political battle.

More to follow.

In Indiana, an active shooter drill became just a tad too real when the local law enforcement leading the drill shot teachers with plastic pellets.

It hurt like hell and drew blood.  Some of them were shot as many as four times.

Four teachers [at a time] were led into a room, told to kneel and then were shot with a pellet gun “execution style” and injured during an active shooter training at an Indiana elementary school in January, according to the Indiana State Teachers Association.

The teachers outside, waiting their turn, heard the teachers inside screaming but the teachers inside were instructed not to tell those waiting outside what happened.

Okay, stop right there. I know the bad guys in this story are the “local law enforcement” who thought this is a good idea. And that everybody got to see first-hand how some cops overstep their authority and have a sadistic streak through their brains. I understand that. I get it. But, there’s no period at the end of that sentence.

What the hell were the teachers thinking? Was there not one single adult among them who stood up and put a stop to this foolishness?  Yeah, it’s all fun and games until somebody puts out an eye. What the hell kind of person would let their co-workers walk into a situation that was dangerous and very painful.  What the hell, teachers?

This is what’s wrong with America. Some people are real mean and crazy and other people let them do it because they are too scared to say anything. The second group should gut up. The first group should go to hell.

And yes, I am looking at you United State Congress and Donald Trump.

Happy Friday folks, and thanks to everybody who sent me this story.

I don’t think that anybody should be able to have the website Medicare.com.

And here’s why —

(Click the little one to see the big one.)

The real Medicare site is Medicare.GOV

This is just gonna confuse old people, and confusing old people is not playing fair.  I know it says “a non-government resource from eHealth” in real small print under the big ole giant Medicare logo, but I had to go get my glasses to see that, and even then I almost had to get the magnifying glass Momma left to me.  That’s not a good thing.

Why didn’t you name it eHealth.com and include one of those refrigerator magnets in it? Old people love those things.

Remember this guy?  He defrauded people through his numerous Super PACs but made high level Republican friends anyway and he ran for congress, too.

Well, Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen just called and said, “Guilty!”

A former candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives pleaded guilty today to wire fraud and willfully violating the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) by operating fraudulent and unregistered political action committees.

Harold Russell Taub, 30, of Cranston, Rhode Island, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of willfully violating FECA before U.S. District Judge William E. Smith for the District of Rhode Island.  Sentencing is set for July 12, 2019.

Odds are that he won’t go to jail, but probably will get probation and have to pay back all the money.  But then again, if the judge is in a foul mood that day ….

Just thought you’d want to know that his cockiness level dropped below freezing.

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

Matt Bevins is the Republican Governor of Kentucky. He and his wife have nine children between the ages of 5 and 16, which tells you that he probably needs to spend more time learning stuff than doing you-know-what.

He didn’t not let his kids get vaccinated.  He purposefully gave them chicken pox.

“We found a neighbor that had it,” the first-term governor said. “And I went and made sure every one of my kids was exposed to it and they got it. And they had it as children, they were miserable for a few days, and they all turned out fine.”

So when they are adults and they get shingles, I hope they punch him flat in the face.

He does not think the government has a right to tell people what to do with their children.  In his libertarian worldview, parents should be allowed to cook and eat their kids. And expose them to diseases on damn purpose.  And if their kids get typhoid or tuberculosis, we should not be able to keep them out of school or away from their part-time jobs at Burger King.

“The government” does not force parents to vaccinate children.  However, if parents want their children to participate in public activities, they do not have the right to expose children they don’t own.  Likewise, the government does not force you to get a driver’s license.  However, if you want to drive a car, we like to know that at least you’ve been taught how.

Libertarianism: Astrology for white men.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
