Nunes is None-ness

January 27, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself

The Fresno Bee said it better than anyone else …

What, pray tell, does Rep. Devin Nunes think he’s doing by waving around a secret memo attacking the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency?

He certainly isn’t representing his Central Valley constituents or Californians, who care much more about health care, jobs and, yes, protecting Dreamers than about the latest conspiracy theory.

Instead, he’s doing dirty work for House Republican leaders trying to protect President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.

Nunes, Honey, when your hometown newspaper calls you a jack-legged stooge boy with pig poop on your face, it’s time to dial it down.

 

Republicans

Steve Wynn, Vegas slick guy and the Republican National Committee Finance Chairman, paid $7.5 million to keep a rape victim quiet.

Not long after the billionaire casino mogul Steve Wynn opened his flagship Wynn Las Vegas in 2005, a manicurist who worked there arrived at the on-site salon visibly distressed following an appointment in Mr. Wynn’s office.

Sobbing, she told a colleague Mr. Wynn had forced her to have sex, and she repeated that to others later.

Beyond this incident, dozens of people The Wall Street Journal interviewed who have worked at Mr. Wynn’s casinos told of behavior that cumulatively would amount to a decadeslong pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Wynn. Some described him pressuring employees to perform sex acts.

He’s already applied to the religious right for a few dozen Mulligans.

But Nothing Happened

I urge you to go watch this video from this morning’s Fox and Friends about Trump wanting to fire Mueller.

Here’s the deal.  After Sean Hannity first called it Fake News, Fox’s news department was able to confirm the story, so Sean dropped the whole thing last night. Didn’t mention it again.

This morning, the morning kids called it a he said / she said thing.  I guess they are kinda hung up on all the sex stories surrounding Trump.

Now they are saying that nothing actually happened, so no problem. Trump just wanted to, he didn’t actually do it.

So, Trump almost cut the brake lines in Mueller’s car. But he didn’t he didn’t cut the brake lines in Mueller’s car. So, according to Fox, it’s real tough to say “obstruction” when nothing happened.

And this is why we can never build that wall – Fox won’t have anything to talk about.

Absolutely True

The Washington Post.  I did not want you to miss this.

The emailed response from the Guggenheim’s chief curator to the White House was polite but firm: The museum could not accommodate a request to “borrow” a painting by Vincent Van Gogh for President and Melania Trump’s private living quarters.

Instead, wrote the curator, Nancy Spector, another piece was available, one that was nothing like “Landscape With Snow,” the 1888 Van Gogh rendering of a man in a black hat walking along a path in Arles, France, with his dog.

The curator’s alternative: an 18-karat, fully functioning, solid gold toilet — an interactive work titled “America” that critics have described as pointed satire aimed at the excess of wealth in this country.

 

 

No word yet on whether or not Trump already has one.

Yes, the Guggenheim has loaned art to the White House before.  However, it was for the oval office or public areas.

Thanks to Chloe Bear for the heads up.
