Oh my goodness, watch this a few times.  You’ll notice that Trump looks around and sees that all the couples are holding hands. He reaches for Melania’s hand … she has had just about enough of this crap.

Girl, I wouldn’t touch him either.

Thanks to John W for the heads up.

Okay, he’s tired, y’all.

A White House official told reporters that President Trump is “exhausted” just three days into his first trip abroad as president.

Trump left the United States to begin his trip on Friday.

On the campaign trail, Trump often accused Hillary Clinton of not having the “stamina” to be president.

He thinks’s he’s tired.  Does he have any idea how we feel. We are up all night fretting that he’s gonna start World War III and put Ivanka in charge.

Well, in a frenzy of Jesus furor, the Texas Legislature passed the Just Don’t Pee bill, which means that transgender people are just the heck outta luck when it comes to peeing.  They can’t use their gender identity to determine which bathroom to use.  Texas are not specific about how to enforce this but you can bet it won’t be pretty.  And it’s gonna cost us about the same as landing on Boardwalk with five hotels.

And in honor of Sweet Jesus, who told us not to judge, the Texas House has decided that non Christians in Texas cannot adopt children.  Even if an adoption agency is state funded, they can discriminate against non-Christians without fear of being sued.  It goes to the state senate this week where it will be easy approved.

And now that Republicans are not winning straight ticket voting in Texas, they want to do away with it.

More to come …

Donald Trump summoning the devil or some damn thing.

Imagine this – in your head, picture President Obama instead of Trump. Now picture Sean Hannity’s head exploding.

Thanks to Eliz for the heads up.

Even in Pennsylvania.

A 78 year old woman was shot in the chest at 3:30 in the damn morning in her damn bathroom.

She was taken to the hospital with “non-life threatening injuries.”  Although I cannot for the life of me imagine what is NOT life threatening when you’re 78 years old.  Hell, getting out of bed is life threatening when you’re 78 years old.

Here’s the kicker.  She was shot by her husband who thought she was an intruder.

I know.  Nuts.

Police believe the husband suffers from a medical condition, which may have been a factor.

Ya think?  Now let’s assume her husband is also at least 78 years old. What the fool tarnation is a 78 year old man with “a medical condition” doing with a damn gun?  You get a medical condition that causes you to shoot people randomly, you gotta give up the gun.

Or, give them both guns, lock them in the house and let them fight it out, like Geriatric Wild Kingdom.

In recent weeks, many who feared Trump as a dangerous ideologue have come to learn he’s actually the opposite – rather than having firmly held beliefs and programs to implement policy on those beliefs, he’s actually just a clown.  He’s a dangerous, life threatening clown, but he is, in the end, simply a clown.  He has no idea what he’s doing, veering from disaster to disaster, always shocked that his latest brash move, childish insult, and idiotic tweet doesn’t result in adulation which he apparently needs on a minute by minute.  This moron actually believed that firing James Comey would 1) be wildly popular, especially among Democrats; 2) end the FBI investigation against him and the rest of his clown car.  Apparently, he really was shocked at the reaction by the press and the general public, and in the process has attracted an even tougher investigator who has prosecutorial authority.

These aren’t the actions of an ideologue, these are the mindless reactions of an idiot.  I don’t know which is scarier; a radical ideologue with totalitarian tendencies, or a simpleton, susceptible to manipulation by actual dangerous people whose poor advice results in the daily dumpster fire unfolding every day on our television sets.

One thing we know is that foreign leaders around the world, but especially in Europe, are shaking their heads and laughing at him (and at us).   Friday, Susan Glasser of Politico wrote of the international reaction to Trump, and it’s not pretty.  A few tidbits:

“People here think Trump is a laughingstock.”

“The president of the United States has a 12-second attention span.”

I could go on and on, but you get the drift.  My thinking on Trump has evolved over the last 120 days of the worst president in US history.  Before, I was furious that Americans could be this stupid to elect a reality television star who played a successful businessman on television.  I feared he could burn down the world trying to play his new reality role as president.  I still fear that, but am now just embarrassed; I’m humiliated that the US could go from the most globally popular president in modern history to this clown.  However, I’m liking the new bumper sticker that’s shown up recently on the inter webs –

Elect a Clown, Expect a Circus.
