No.  Don’t do that.

Ya think Macron would wipe hamburger grease Trump’s tie?  No, he would not.  Because he was not raised in a barn.

In the “I don’t think that’s what that means” department.

At the local library as two older women were on their way to a Daughters of the War of 1812 meeting.  Can’t help but overhear this conversation because they were not whispering in the library.

“I am so disappointed because the rapture didn’t happen yesterday.  A man on Facebook who is usually right about his predictions said the Rapture was going to be yesterday.  It wasn’t. (Her friend nods in agreement.)  I am so disappointed.

“I am just sick of this fake news stuff,” she concluded.

Can you even imagine?  Fake news on Facebook about the rapture?

I just looked it up.  Apparently even Fox News carried it.

I have just one burning question:  What does one wear to bed if one thinks the rapture might come during the night?

I want you to met Foster Friess, a conservative megadonor who lives in Wyoming.

Foster has just announced that he wants to run to Governor of Wyoming, even though he doesn’t know much about many of the issues.  However, he has an explanation for that.

But Friess explained that he still needed to learn a lot more about the issues facing the state because his hometown paper, the Jackson Hole News & Guide, had not done a good job informing its readers. Friess argues the paper “is very left-wing so they give a perspective on what some of the issues are—but we hear about the grizzlies, we hear about the coal issue.”

Damn shame that only one newspaper is allowed in Wyoming.

He also want to return civility to politics, but his first act toward this lofty goal was not to be so civil.  Or smart. He missed the smart goal.

Friess used a state party convention luncheon to call for a return to “civility” in American politics. He then suggested that Barack Obama had funneled money intended to mitigate global warming to cousins in a foreign country Friess didn’t know how to pronounce, adding, “Zoowanatou … it’s some little country I’ve never been.”

Well Honey, if you have’t been there, it probably doesn’t even have name.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Remember the Navy doctor who thought Trump was just about the finest specimen of human maleness he’d ever seen?

And then Trump appointed him to be head of Veteran’s Affairs even though Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson had no management experience?

Well, there may be some problems.

Committee members have been told about allegations related to improper conduct in various stages of his career, two sources said.

The sources say the committee is in talks to delay Wednesday’s confirmation hearing as they try to figure out the allegations.

It appears to be a bi-partisan thing.  They want to know if these allegations are true.

On top of that …

A White House official told CNN that Trump was pleased with Jackson’s performance in an extended grilling by reporters in January over the President’s health and cognitive fitness.

… and a few people wonder if being able to defend the Presidents obvious wackiness is the major consideration to appointing someone to head the VA.

Apparently under this administration, it is.

Remember back in January when the Dallas Republican Party filed suit to have all 128 Democrats removed from the November ticket because the county chair did not sign their applications for office even when that’s not required?

And remember when Glen Maxey told them that were wrong, wrong, wrong?

Well, they were.

JUDGE DISMISSES DALLAS COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY’S FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT TO REMOVE DALLAS COUNTY DEMOCRATS FROM BALLOT

Dallas, TX – Judge Eric Moyé of the 14th Civil District Court has dismissed the Dallas County Republican Party’s frivolous lawsuit to remove over eighty Democratic candidates, most of whom are minorities, from the 2018 general election ballot in Dallas County.

The case was dismissed and now Dallas Republicans have to stand for election in an terribly unfair playing field because they have actual opponents.

Have a drink on me tonight.

I figured y’all would be worried.
