Uh Oh UPDATED
I dunno. Maybe they’s asking him to reinforce the bridges to DeeCee so Trump’s tanks can get there by Thursday.
Or maybe Kim called Trump a dotard again.
Okay, 30 minutes later —
Any guesses what that would be?
I’m headed out for a lunch date. Be back in a couple of hours. Y’all make sure nothing crazy is going on.
Back from lunch and all’s quiet. We may never know what happened but I suspect it had something to do with IQ points and how well organized this government is.
Trump wants his shoes shined.
1Well, if he’d keep them outa his mouth–or a**–he wouldn’t need a shine.
But humor aside, how long does it take to swear in a VP as POTUS? Asking for a friend.
2Has anybody seen Trump? An ambulance?
3Could it be Congress suing the Treasury for Dolt 45’s tax returns and the cantaloupe caligula needs a group hug from leftover cabinet members?
My understanding is that Ivanka is still on a World Photo Op Tour. (Where in the world is Ivanka?)
Seen here settling differences between world leaders ala The View.

4It finally happened . . . . .
Trump suddenly stopped lying and is running around the WH screaming that the time has come to tell the truth. All the truths.
All hell is breaking out.
5Mother called?
6pResident vapor lock had a rare neural moment. A stage. A mic. Donnie didn’t like the thought. At all that it wasn’t for him.
7Shots fired at air force base in New Hampshire….probably turned his jet around because of it. Though one can always fantasize about a “Dave” scenario.
8Did someone forget the Mickey D hamberders and coke?
9A janitor found an old paper bag full of cash behind a dresser at the VP mansion, and Barr wanted to ask Pence whether he thought it belonged to Spiro Agnew. So Barr can release a properly worded PR summary.
10“There is no cause for concern.”
Keeping in mind that this White House lies like it breathes . . . .
11Given Trump’s penchant for unnecessary drama, it could be anything. Perhaps Trump is surrendering to North Korea, bombing Iran… or looking for advice on how many medals to wear on Trump’s new 6-star general outfit
12General Trumpissimo found out the weather report for July 4 and wants Pence to hold the umbrella over him while he holds another campaign rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Any bets on lightning strikes? Please God, please, with all those Rethugs sitting in the front rows.
13Wonder if the demented one wants to ensure that all guns, tanks, planes are fully armed and loaded for the parade.
14Looking for a redux of dugout doug’s insubordinate attack on the bonus army he used fully armed tanks so this wannabe wants fully armed tanks tanks in case he “needs” to turn them upon the citizenry.
Just now… Two separate links.

U.S. to Drop Citizenship Question from Census July 2, 2019 at 5:02 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment “The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would be printing forms for the 2020 census without a question asking about citizenship, abandoning its quest to add the query after being blocked last week by the Supreme Court,” the New …
And this:
Opponents of President Donald Trump’s efforts to add a citizenship question to the Census — an apparent strategy to suppress the count of racial minorities to the benefit of Republicans — celebrated Tuesday when reports broke that the administration has thrown in the towel on the fight.
Daniel Jacobson, a former White House lawyer under President Barack Obama, revealed the news on Twitter. He shared an email from a Justice Department trial attorney that the administration has decided to print the Census without a citizenship question. The printer has been instructed to begin creating the questionnaires, she said.

15I’d like to see more posts about this because Mitchbitch handled Pelosi and Schemer so handily recently. Also not forgetting the taxscam and forced Kavanaugh appointment.
If true, its a good thing
16Hogan Gidley’s home planet?
17Just wondering
Well it is official.
18Seals are nothing more then a modern murder inc. with out honor and a disgrace to our history.
With less then 1 day of considerations in the face of numorous eye witness accounts the military has decided they are fine with random murders and executions by deviants.
We officially have no more military just a bunch of cut rate mercs who have found a home in the us armed forces the new murder for jolly’s and hire organizations.
Something to do with assisting the Russians with that sub, because Donnie keeps insisting it’s only a sandwich?
19@ K the military has decided they are fine with random murders and executions by deviants.
It goes farther back than Vietnam. The current iteration stems from the tiny man who would be King.
This is the second cartoonist who was fired. Just last year a cartoonist’s penwas too coldly accurate for the Post Gazette’s Owner and was given his walking papers.

20I saw an article saying that we’d find out in a few weeks. I hope I’m wrong, but I suspect they’re planning an op against Iran, maybe even war, and they needed to discuss it with Pence. Praying I’m wrong.
21@megasoid #20
22It does go back ( Phillipines conquest, 1860’s traitors treatment of union soldiers who were not lily white, etc) but in the past since WW II we have at least made a gesture towards limiting the devency and blood lust of those who wear the uniform.
Now no longer even pretend. From torture of prisoners approved of by the twit and his vp puppet master, to declaring the Geneva conventions to be a dead letter, and blessing these sick puppies who are a disgrace to humanity.
@K : Waaaaay too much of this. We’ve stopped trying to be decent, or even pretend that we’re trying. We have unabashedly become The Bad People.
23It’s official. Somehow the Republicons have erased all memory of Dubya and Cheney’s reign of terror. For themselves, anyway. Those of us who still believe in the rule of law and basic decency will never forget Alberto Gonzales’ defense of enhanced ‘interrogation.’ Alberto also had some unique takes on border defense and immigration. Here’s a little WTF charmer by which to remember Alberto: “There is no express grant of habeas in the Constitution. There’s a prohibition against taking it away.”
This maladministration has dropped all pretense of a Constitution. Bill Barr doesn’t bother with slapping on a veneer the way Gonzo did.
24Maybe because the US bombed Syria, or sumpthin.
25I hope I’m wrong but, Putin canceled participation in the forum “Rivers of Russia” for the an urgent meeting with Shoigu,” according to Dmitry Peskov.
It appears there may be a global nuclear emergency, involving a Russian nuclear sub fire that may have leaked. There are numerous reports about Putin meeting with his defense minister and clearing his schedule. Putin got burnt the last time this happened.
Oh, and China has upped it’s military presence in the waters off Hong Kong, so there’s that.
26Russian Deep-Sea Military Vessel Catches Fire, Killing 14
MOSCOW — Fourteen sailors died in a fire on a deep-sea Russian military vessel, the Russian military said on Tuesday.
The Russian authorities did not say if the vessel was powered by a nuclear reactor, which could raise fears of radiation leaks. But some Russian media, citing military sources, said the stricken vessel was a nuclear-powered submarine.
On Tuesday evening, an official with the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Norway said the agency had taken radiation measurements after the incident but detected nothing unusual, Reuters reported.
The lethal fire broke out on the vessel based at the same Arctic port, Severomorsk, as the Kursk nuclear submarine that sank in 2000, killing 118 sailors in a searing tragedy for the Russian Navy that posed an early test of President Vladimir V. Putin’s leadership.
In the Kursk sinking and subsequent accidents in Russia’s submarine fleet, the navy has been slow in acknowledging the gravity of emergencies, the scale of human loss or the environmental threat.
The military announced the latest fire and casualties on Tuesday, but said the accident happened a day earlier. It said the sailors had died from smoke inhalation. The statement offered no explanation for the delayed announcement.
It was not clear if the vessel was submerged at the time of the fire, and the military did not specify its location, other than to say it had been within Russian territorial waters. The Severomorsk base is on the Murmansk Fjord, which opens to the Barents Sea.
The Ministry of Defense issued a statement describing the stricken vessel as a “scientific experimental deep water apparatus intended to study the natural environment and sea floor.”
But some Russian media indicated that the vessel was a spy submarine. In a possible indication of the importance of the vessel or its mission, Mr. Putin said seven of those who died were captains and that two of the dead had received high military honors.
Mr. Putin canceled a planned visit to the provincial city of Tver to remain in the Kremlin, where Russian television showed him directing his defense minister to fly to Severomorsk to oversee the military’s response.

27There’s only two tasks the VP has: to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and to replace a dead or incapacitated president. On the informal side, it’s to show up at funerals of foreign dignitaries, to advise the president about politics, and to be the attack dog in election campaigns.
While Pence might be adequate for the first informal task, even dyed-in-the-wool Trumpists would laught out loud at the idea of the other two. On the formal tasks, Trump could never form the idea of a world with himself absent from it, so that leaves a close senate vote. Anything coming up that Mitch McTurtle can’t squelch without help?
No matter what saber-rattling, or potential nuclear war, might be occurring, nobody would look to Pence for leadership, advice, ideas, or even a helping hand. He might stand around offering prayers, but nobody would ever look to him for thoughts.
28Maybe they just wanted to give him a heads up not to complain when they announce he is getting bumped from the ticket so ivanka can run as daddy’s vp.
