Look, I’m not saying that Ted Cruz is a neo nazi sympathizer but he literally just called a neo nazi to sympathize.

Representative Steve King of Iowa, who has been abandoned by Republican leaders and donors over his embrace of white nationalists and for rhetoric that has been denounced as racist, said he got a supportive phone call from Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who’s facing a tough re-election battle of his own.

Cruz said the call was personal.  I bet the hell it was.

King co-chaired Cruz’s presidential campaign.

I mean, you gotta fret over these guys if they’re too damn hateful for Republicans to like them.

Trump:

The “caravan.”

Hey, did George Soros send jets for the caravan?

Republicans have lied to me about money all my life. This really isn’t something new.

Remember how they told us that “Tort Reform” would cut our insurance bills in half?  But it ended up meaning that insurance companies didn’t have to pay if somebody purposefully hurt you.

Remember how they told us that deregulation would mean cheaper electric bills?  Gee, thanks for that buck and half every year.

Remember how they say that we can’t have universal health care because our taxes would go through the roof? The first time they told us that, Bubba was paying $1,800 a month for health insurance that was only major medical and he’d never been to the hospital even once in his whole life, except for that time he had his tonsils taken out when he was nine.

And now it’s that we’re all gonna get poor if Democrats win.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned that Americans could “lose a lot of money” if Republicans don’t do well in next week’s midterm elections.

The president, speaking at an event at the White House, said that the U.S. has the “hottest economy right now in the world,” but said that the results of the election could hammer the stock market.

Could?  Did he say could?

When Momma passed, she left me a little blue chip stock.  This is past six months.

Trump needs to quit taking my Momma’s money.

Could?  Did he say could?

I have a quote for you this morning that might tickle your fancy —

“You have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than it’s reported actually. I’m pretty good at estimating crowd size. And I’ll tell you they look a lot bigger than people would think.”

— Donald Trump, in an interview with ABC News.

Boo!  Scared enough yet?

Michael Avenatti.  Let’s just say I haven’t signed on to his presidential campaign yet. If I do, send somebody to my house with some medicine or something.

Anyway, Avenatti says he was just informed by the FBI that he was on the Magabomber’s list. You know, the list of 100 people he wanted to send bombs to.  I think my Uncle Melvin is on that list.  I feel sure that Thelma is because she wakes up every morning, smiles at the delight that God has added another day for her. She put on her leopard print housecoat and fluffy pink house house shoes, pulls back her ruffled curtains, opens her brightly scrubbed bedroom window, smiles at the birds and then screams, “Screw You, Trump, You Nastyass Sumbitch.”

That’s gotta piss somebody off.

By the way, Avenatti owes $2.4 million to the IRS.  How do these guys get away with that?  Thelma once forgot to mail her $200 tax bill and they came and got her 1987 travel trailer.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

The Caravan; mobilizing 5,200 federal troops to the border; executive order to end birthright citizenship.  Besides the “…gleeful cruelty and dickishness,” as Jon Stewart describes Trump’s behavior, these moves are simply pandering to the Knuckledragger GOP Base to drive them to the polls. This “crisis” is, yes, I’m going to say it, “Trumped up” by Trump doing the bidding of his enfant terrible aide, Stephen Miller, resident white supremacist.  It’s all nonsense, based on lies and exaggeration.  On November 7, all this will go back into the normal background noise, just like in 2014 when the Ebola outbreak in the US and ISIS fighters on the border ceased to exist on November 5, the day after election day.

After much consideration and contemplation, I have determined that the American electorate is stupid.  It has to be whipped up into a frenzy to just go to the neighborhood polling place to cast a vote.  Apparently, politicians have figured out that scared voters are active voters.

Stupid.
