Fly Southwest, Or Not

October 23, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself

Well, a Southwest Airline flight out of Houston to Albuquerque had a Trump incident.

Bruce Alexander, who is 49 years old, grabbed a passenger’s breast – get this – from behind.  The female passenger said she dozed off and thought she felt someone touch her but assumed it was an accident because they cram you into those airplanes tighter than skin on a sausage. Then, a little later, he grabbed the back of her arm “and groped her ribs and then her breast.”

The female passenger stood up and yelled at Bruce, then demanded to be re-seated.

Bruce got his butt arrested when they landed.

According to an affidavit, when he was placed in handcuffs, he asked what the sentence was for the charge he was being arrested for and later told officers President Trump says it’s OK to grab women by their private parts.

No, Bruce, and you also cannot route all government business to your hotels, let your family run the country, needlessly taunt foreign leaders, palsy around with dictators and murderers, cheat on your taxes, slaughter the English language with impunity, or hire lawyers to pay off the women you had sex with.

 

Okay, Looking Good

The Cook Political Report made ten rating changes – 8 toward Democrats and 2 toward Republican.

Today, we’re changing ratings in ten districts, including eight where Democrats’ position has improved. Democrats now have a clear advantage in 17 GOP-held seats and Republicans have an advantage in two Democratic-held seats. If the 30 Toss Ups were to break evenly between the parties (15 seats apiece), Democrats would score a net gain of 29 seats, six more than the 23 they need to retake the majority.

They have an interactive map to play with.

Does anybody know if they are doing this in senate races?

 

Bubba Asked Me To Remind You

Trump did not fill the 18,000 seat Toyota Center despite in his fantasy land 100,000 requested tickets.

Bubba wants to remind you that Barack Obama filled that very same Toyota Center in May of 2008 before the primaries.  He wasn’t even president yet and he filled it inside and with overflow crowds watching it on a big screen outside.

Bubba takes his thrills where he can get them nowadays.

 

 

A Heads Up From the Dairy Queen

Alfredo is not shocked but the ultra-conservative Club for Growth has failed to disclose 10s of thousands of dollars they spent on Ted Cruz.

And the FEC is not ignoring it.

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

 

 

I dunno about you, but it makes me real nervous to see money being spent to benefit Ted Cruz at a place called Big Eye Direct.

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

Oh My Goodness

Give me a few minutes to catch my breath and figure out some numbers but yesterday broke all records of first day voting in Texas.  People actually stood in line.

Beto came to three different area of the county in two days and drew enormous crowds.  The funniest tweet I saw was from Police Chief Art Acevedo in Houston over Trump’s rally for Ted Cruz.  Trump kept telling people that 100,000 people asked for tickets to the arena that holds 18,000.  By 5:30, the Chief wasn’t seeing it.

 

 

Yeah, those are two of the first pictures he chose.  This is Houston after all.

More to come …

 

Oh, Steve King, Don’t Talk About Cultural Suicide Unless You’re Ready To Do It

October 23, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself

Iowa Republican congressvarmint Steve King went to Austria for some damn reason and did an interview with a far right nutwing magazine that is the equivalent to Breitbart.

He talked about something I’ve never heard of before.  The Great Replacement.  It’s a theory that white culture is having abortions, not babies, but that other cultures are bringing their babies to American and western Europe in order to overrun the place with people who ain’t white.  Oh yeah, and George Soros is funding it. I don’t know what Nancy Pelosi has to do with it but it’s gotta be something.

King’s conversation with Sommerfeld largely revolves around the paranoid idea of the Great Replacement — the belief that mass migration, particularly from Muslim-majority countries, is an extinction-level event for white European culture and identity. Or as he put it in the interview, a “slow-motion cultural suicide.”

Now King wouldn’t say that in this country because he doesn’t have a lick of courage. He has to run over to the pot smoking Austrians.  Hey, I don’t want to bring up the past, but the Austrians let Hitler annex them because they were intimidated when Hilter screamed at their Chancellor, sounding a whole lot like Lindsay Graham at the Kavanaugh hearing.  They got all scared at that mean voice and said, “Here, take our country, anything.”  Hey, I’m no dummy – I saw Sound of Music.

Good Lord, he’s Alex Jones with a job.  And you pay him.

Thanks to Stacey for the heads up.
