The Twitter Machine catches this one from Newt Gingrich.

I swear to all that is sparkling, Newt Gingrich is bean dip dumb.

Look, it ain’t brain surgery or even Vatican Ambassadorship smart. Trump is not accused of committing any crimes in West Virginia. If he ever is, there will be a grand jury there.

I got a speeding ticket in Bastrop once and that’s where it went to trial, even though I have far more friends in Del Rio.  Whine, whine, whine.

Soon enough, a grand jury may be empaneled in New York for Trump’s financial crimes, where Trump only got 36% of the vote.  I’m sure Newt will whine that it should be empaneled in Alabama where Trump got 63% of the vote, except that they couldn’t find 12 people in Alabama who know how a checking account works.

West Virginia?  Hell, let’s just move it to Mar-a-Loco so Newt will think it’s fair.

Newt is back again, y’all.  He’s doing the Twitter thing, too.

Rethinking Made Easy: people only have integrity and honesty if they side with Dear Leader Trump and his groveling toady Newt.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Now that Newt Gingrich has declared that Donald Trump is going to be above the law …

“The Constitution gives the president of the United States an extraordinarily wide grant of authority to use the power of the pardon. I’m not saying he should. I’m not saying he will. It also allows a president in a national security moment to say to somebody, go do X even if it’s technically against the law and here’s your pardon because I am ordering you as commander-in-chief to go do this.”

… he’s decided that Trump was just being “cute” when he said “drain the swamp.”

Said Gingrich: “I’m told he now just disclaims that. He now says it was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore… Maybe he feels that as president, as the next president of the United States, that he should be marginally more dignified than talking about alligators in swamps.”

Dignified?  Hell, Newt, “drain the swamp” is the most dignified thing Trump has ever said.

So, in Newt’s screwy mind, Trump can order somebody to go rob a bank, pardon them, and then use that money for more sludge for the swamp. Ain’t America grand!

Newt, who once called himself “too intellectual” to be president, has got this all figured out. Now if he could just find a job … Newt resigned Congress in disgrace in January of 1999 and hasn’t held a real job since then.  Too intellectual to work for a living.
