It’s over, y’all.

It has to be true. It’s in all caps. That’s how you know true things from false things – true things are in all caps.

You also know it’s true because Devin Nunes said it and he worked very hard to cover Trump’s enormous ass.

Rex Tillerson went out with a blaze of glory.

On Friday, Trump asked Tillerson to step aside.  Early this morning, Tillerson made this headline.

Tillerson calls the poisoning “a really egregious act” and says it’s “almost beyond comprehension” that a state actor would use such a dangerous substance in a public place.

I guess Tillerson’s non-disclosure document did not include Russia.

Bye, bye, Rex.  I hope this public humiliation loosens your jaw a little.

UPDATED:  Now that I’ve had my second cup of coffee, I am beginning to understand that Tillerson’s jaw wasn’t loosened by being fired.  He committed suicide.

Tillerson claims that he’s not even spoken to the president, but apparently Putin has.  Tillerson made the statement before the firing.

… you can be dumb as a stump.  Ted Lieu won the internet today speaking about Betsy DeVos.

Here’s the link to was talking about.

I have a question – are Betsy’s teeth as fake as Trump’s hair.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

In Austin this morning, two people have been killed – both African Americans – at their homes from packages left on their front porches during the night.  They took the packages inside and opened them.

Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said the two incidents displayed enough similarities to investigate them together. Since both victims were African-Americans, Manley said investigators are also viewing the attacks as potential hate crimes.

 

The two houses are 11 miles apart.

Thanks to Yvonne for the heads up.

I have Alexa – mainly for baseball scores, recipe conversions, and weather reports.

Last week, I unplugged it, put it in a plastic baggie, put the whole thing in a shed in the backyard, locked the door to the shed, and blame the damn Russians.

Owners of Amazon Echo devices with the voice-enabled assistant Alexa have been pretty much creeped out of their damn minds recently. People are reporting that the bot sometimes spontaneously starts laughing — which is basically a bloodcurdling nightmare.

It happened one time. I was home alone. Not talking to myself. It was creepy as hell.

It’s the Russians, I tell you.  They are letting us know that they own the White House.

The Boston Globe carried a story that gave me indigestion.

President Trump would be able to dispatch Secret Service agents to polling places nationwide during a federal election, a vast expansion of executive authority, if a provision in a Homeland Security reauthorization bill remains intact.

You know how Republicans always want to turn over the duties of the federal government to the states? Well, that’s only if the states are allowing women to control their own bodies or the states are doing a poop-poor job of intimidating voters. I mean, like California or Massachusetts. Texas is handing voter intimidation and suppression quite well because they are very good at it.

What the damn hell does the Secret Service have to do with an election in my hometown?  Hell, why don’t they just pull an ICE and a White Citizen’s Council for Heavy Artillery Van up to the front of every polling place?

Look, Trump is convinced that illegal voting cost him the popular vote in 2016.  I would not put it passed this idiot to hold a nationwide parade of armed federal agents under his command to every polling location in America.

Damn terrorist.  He’s just a damn terrorist.

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
