I hope Dotard is Time's person of the decade

Picture him in his prison jumpsuit on the cover of the 2020 Time. Oh man, I would LOVE an article following him through his prison day, complete with pics of him visiting his family and friends in matching prison outfits. A lengthy discussion about the gruel he is served twice a day. How he got lice and they had to shave his head (what do hair plugs look like when shaven?).

Forget Russia: HRC's Malia email scandal

This is a developing story meant to distract you from issues that are actually important...

A newly discovered email from HRC's private server shows she forwarded a picture of a young Malia Obama running with scissors. Senator Mitch McConnell was the first to comment on this: "It demonstrates a clear lack of parental control or guidance. How can the nation trust Barack Obama to lead it if he is incapable of handling his own child? It is time we impeach Obama before he can cause any more trouble". President (sic) tRump echoed the sentiment in a text that read, "Obama biggly bad. Crooked Hillary email proves it. Putin told me so! Dems are losers. Sad! Pathetic". Congressman Trey Gowdy, who has been entirely focused on damning Hillary after she was cleared by the FBI told reporters, "This Malia Obama picture was forwarded to ten separate people. That's TEN people who were able to view this highly classified photo. How many more classified photos will our investigation turn up?" Roy Moore of Alabama brought up the news in a campaign speech, telling his audience that the scissors were not even children's safety scissors, "I should know because I have a LOT of experience with children's.....safety scissors".

When the Times reached out to Hillary Clinton for comment, she sent an emoticon as her reply. We take this to mean she admits her guilt and will shortly turn herself over to the authorities.

Looks Like 3rd Party Is The Only Safe Bet

Does any of this sound familiar to you, like it happened about 1 year ago?

I'm going to vote 3rd party because Al Franken supposedly, maybe, might have touched a woman's ass. That means Dems are just as bad as Rethugs. Since I would not vote for a Rethug, then the only sensible way to vote is 3rd party in 2018. Yes, that will show everyone just how I feel about the current state of politics!


3rd party voters showed us just how much they disliked some of the egregious things that HRC might have, could have, almost maybe done. They rewarded us with Dotard for their efforts at the polls. And now the assholes are at it again with their smear campaign.

There is definite proof Dotard committed sexual assault.
There is definite proof Roy Moore committed sexual assault.
There is definite proof Joe Barton was sending dick pics and threatening women with legal action if they exposed him.

Versus

No proof against Franken, only accusations. We already know Tweeden "spoke up" because she was manipulated.
Conyers settled two (almost three) years ago. It's worth investigating to see what money was used, but, please, don't try to put him in the same league as the rethugs listed above.

Simply put, the conservative narrative machine is hard at work cultivating "stories" about Dems to throw you off their own scent. Stop for a second. Take a whiff, and you will certainly smell their bullshit wherever you may be.

How Long to Cook an 86 lb Turkey? Thanksgiving Records

This is the one that gets me. I've seen pumpkins around 800 lbs, and they are MASSIVE. I cannot begin to imagine how big this one would be:

The largest pumpkin pie weighed in at 3,699 pounds and was made by New Bremen Giant Pumpkin Growers at New Bremen Pumpkinfest in New Bremen, Ohio, in September 2010, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Where are These Girls' Parents?

I never hear anything about them. I don't have children, but if I did and someone like Moore messed around with one...

Are they loyal GOPers? Are they keeping their mouths shut? Do they actually encourage this sort of thing? One would think that a girl's number one supporters would be her parents, and they would be rushing to defend her.

My Take on Saudi

Maybe this is obvious to everyone, but here goes...

The king wants to consolidate power. Going after all the princes sort of makes sense, but it was taken a bit too far. After all, two are now dead. The round up of all the princes and these deaths leads me to believe this king does not shy away from using force. Now, we also know that Dotard made a multi-billion dollar arms deal with the king. Why? Ok, this is where I might get into conspiracy theory territory, but bear with me. Consolidation of power for Saudi means consolidation of power in the middle east. Saudi wants to be THE middle east power (this is not unheard of; Arab countries have been vying for top position in the middle east for decades). Dotard uses Kushner to align himself with the king, maybe promising backing, maybe promising more arms deals down the road. They take the arms deal with Dotard, and in exchange start threatening war with Yemen and Iran. Yes, there was a missile involved, so there is an excuse for a call to war. But it is very convenient that Dotard suffered a debacle early on in Yemen and that he detests the Iran nuclear deal Obama made. I am suggesting that whatever deal Dotard/Kushner has made with Saudi includes using them to (at least) threaten these two countries that have been a thorn in Dotard's side.

The Question No One is Asking About the DNC

How did it get to be so mismanaged? Who let these assholes run the show? DWS, DB, both unfit. I mean, just who is reading the resumes and interviewing these people to lead the DNC? What happened indeed!

A better question is, How do we keep from repeating these mistakes?

We have midterms coming up rapidly, and these new allegations create distrust of the Democratic party. Even if you don't buy into the DB junk (which you shouldn't), why would you trust a party run so haphazardly?

Dotard is Upset His Brazile Ploy Did Not Get Coverage

What proof do we need that this was meant as a distraction?

The rigged Dem Primary, one of the biggest political stories in years, got ZERO coverage on Fake News Network TV last night. Disgraceful!

The Thing About Bot Flies...

They are too large to land on hosts and transfer their larvae. Instead, they catch unsuspecting smaller flying insects and attach their larvae to them. Then they let the unsuspecting smaller flying insect loose. The unsuspecting smaller flying insect flits around carefree and happy, lands on an animal, and the bot fly larva drops onto its new host. The larva burrows deep into the animal's skin, eating the animal's "meat", until it is fully grown and drops from the host animal.

If that host animal happens to be human, then the only thing to do is suffocate the larva and pull it out. It's a nasty process. Just remember that it is always easier (and less nasty) to prevent bot fly larvae from infecting you in the first place. If you do become infected, it is best to take immediate action before the larva has time to feast on your "meat" and grow.


For those who still don't get it, here is the bot fly...

Meanwhile, the bot fly who planted the larva is super happy:

Breaking: Strange, Depressed Orange Man Spotted on Roof of WH

This is a developing story...

Reports are coming in about an orange hued man standing perilously close to the edge of the WH roof. The man is apparently repeating the same word over and over "MAGA", as he stares at the ground below. Police who have been called to the scene have sent in a professional psychologist to try and talk the man down, but so far it has not helped. The man is insisting he will only speak with Hannity from Fox News network. Police are afraid that the extra long tie the man is wearing will catch the wind that is beginning to pick up, and that he will be pulled over the edge. Several WH aides have tried luring the man off the roof with buckets of KFC, pizza from Pizza Hut, and charred steaks slathered in ketchup. So far, the only response has been a slight pause in the man's repetition of "MAGA" to say the words "Diet Coke". Evangelicals from across the country have showed up, promising to lay hands on the man's body should he decide to jump....

A woman has just emerged from the WH. It is unclear what she is saying. It appears she is speaking English but with a very heavy eastern European accent. It seems she is shouting insults at the man, encouraging him to jump. Yes, the woman is definitely trying to bully the man into jumping from the roof....

Firefighters have arrived on the scene. They seem to be wandering aimlessly. The fire chief is saying something about budget cuts and not being able to afford a safety net....


UPDATE AS OF 2PM TODAY!!!

Throughout the day yesterday a small crowd was gathered in front of the WH to watch the strange man on the roof. This afternoon, Hillary Clinton made an appearance and the crowd swelled to over 20,000. She autographed some copies of her new book and told everyone not to worry about the strange man on the roof: "This is just him being histrionic," she said. Hillary Clinton stayed for half an hour then left. The majority of the crowd dispersed soon afterward.
