When is the end of the world?

May 31st!

 

Mega-Earthquake!

You have to love people who look on the bright side, but until then, we’re stuck with now.

 

See, this guy is a pessimist, I can respect that but I have much more faith in our fine media betters.

Media Reach Peak Meltdown Over Comey Memo, Russian Disclosure
Fresh pair of Trump controversies has press demanding impeachment, suggesting people will die

I’d say we ain’t seen nothing yet.

 

How can I say that? According to the NY Times,

The ceremony occurred in the Blue Room of the White House, where many senior law enforcement officials — including the Secret Service director — had gathered. Mr. Comey — who is 6 feet 8 inches tall and was wearing a dark blue suit that day – told Mr. Wittes that he tried to blend in with the blue curtains in the back of the room, in the hopes that Mr. Trump would not spot him and call him out. (emphasis me V, cuz the picture that brings to mind is just so fucking funny.)

That’s right, they’re claiming the FBI director was afraid of Trump and tried to hide from him by wearing camouflage. No, they really wrote that, I’m not making it up. I’m not that creative. I might have said he was hiding but the wearing camouflage is just that extra touch I’m not sure I have.

Seriously, if you’d just click the link you’d be more stupider but at least then you’d know that, unlike the NY Times, I’m telling the truth.

 

WTF is going on at the Free Beacon? Another Concerned Conservative bashing Trump for his twitting at twits.

The man can’t help himself. I’m speaking of course of our president, Donald Trump, whose talents at marketing and publicity brought him wealth and fame and, at the age of 70, the highest political office in the nation…

And this Concerned Conservative is On The Job!

His desire to convey an image of speed and determination has resulted in executive orders stopped by judicial intervention

You mean where they judge-shopped, found some assholes who would go against settled law because they didn’t like Trump? That judicial intervention? Jackass.

a legislature that is quarrelsome and confused.

The only confusion is trying to figure out how to avoid doing what they’ve been specifically elected to do and the only people they’re quarrelsome with are Trump and me. That fucking legislature. Idiot.

His popping off on Twitter creates scandals that should not otherwise exist, and inflames already high tensions in the capital.

He should mean responding to made-up scandals, but he doesn’t. That is what he’s talking about after all even if he doesn’t realize it.

The funniest/stupidest sentence of the link.

His firing of FBI Director James Comey, then his changing explanations of the dismissal, birthed an enemy he does not want to have and alienated a staff whose loyalty he needs.

No, he hasn’t changed his explanations, this idiot is relying on news reporrts of what Trump Said!!!!! instead of looking at what Trump said. On his Twitter Account. Which this idiot is bashing.

Alienated the staff that’s been leaking since before he took office? That staff? The staff this idiot is relying on anonymous quotes for how they feel. That staff.

As for the “birthed an enemy” idiocy, no. Are you not watching the war on him, and by extension us, by everybody? The war that started more than a year ago?

Twitter is his only way to get his message out against the cries of Minitrue, the rest of the Democratic party and Concerned Republicans. Like, apparently, the Free Beacon.

I’m not sure what’s going on, but my optimism that they were not establishment pricks is being sorely tested by a couple articles this week, that one by A Concerned Conservative and the other one where they tried to tie a GOP candidate to Obama over Bush’ forced stimulizing and bailouting.

 

For the counter-point,

The blizzard of lies and distraction blowing through Washington is not just any routine stuffstorm, but a calculated attempt to bring down a president – our president, not the establishment’s president. And more than that, it’s an attempt to ensure that we never again have the ability to disrupt the bipartisan D.C. cabal’s permanent supremacy by inserting a chief executive who refuses to kiss their collective Reid.

Yup. But I do decry Kurt’s vulgarity, nobody should be told to kiss anybody’s ‘Reid’.

That’s just fucking vulgar and low.

I saw that link a few places but I clicked from Doug Ross’ Larwyn’s Lynx, which is a good round-up place.

 

I have in my hand proof, incontrovertible PROOF!!!! that Harvard grades on a curve!!

 Trump’s coverage during his first 100 days set a new standard for negativity. Of news reports with a clear tone, negative reports outpaced positive ones by 80 percent to 20 percent.

 

80%? What news were you watching? Other than Hannity and part of Bret Baier’s show (usually with Catherine Herridge who actually does news but definitely before the panel), I’d bet Fox was more than 80% negative, as for The NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc., they’re ridiculous. Didn’t you watch CNN bash him for eating ice cream?

If they meant as an average only 80% of each and every report was negative I’d be with them. Even MSNBC has to take breaths between screeches.

 

Get Out Your Squeezy Bulb Cuz Repeal And Replace Is On Deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently, the House made a mistake, probably caused by all the Turmoil Surrounding Trump, so now they’re going to have to re-vote on Repeal and Replace..the Fix For Obamacare before they can send it to the Senate where they’ll undoubtedly get right on it.  Right. On. It.! This time! This time I am so optimistic they’re going to do it right that I could just shit myself!

Republicans are using the budget “reconciliation” process to pass their health care bill, which allows them to push legislation through the Senate with a simple majority. But that depends on the bill meeting certain requirements — and one of them is that it reduces the deficit by at least $2 billion over the next decade.

The trouble is that Republicans voted on their House bill without waiting for the Congressional Budget Office, the federal agency that evaluates legislation, to finish its projections, which are expected next week.

 

Ooopsie! No, I didn’t shit myself, my fine GOP betters are shitting all over me though! So I have that going for me.

It’s funny how, for me, the whole purpose of the “GOP Win!” category had changed over the last couple years.

Well, not so much funny as infuriatingly infuriating.

 

See, this is what I’m going on about. In talking about the Iranian ‘election’,

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani hopes Friday’s election will put him back in the hot seat for another term, enabling the 68-year-old to pursue engagement with the West.

But the moderate, who struck a deal with world powers to curb Iran’s nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief, faces a strong challenge from hardline judge Ebrahim Raisi.

He believes Rouhani has gone too far and sold out the values of Iran’s Islamic revolution to its enemies.

 

They’re pretending the vote means anything at all. The mad mullahs decide who can run and they tell the ‘winner’ (puppet) how to act. I’m surprised they haven’t run Achmed the Dead Terrorist, maybe he’s on contract with Jeff Dunham so is unavailable.

Watching the media fawn over Achmadinejihad, the new madman they’re running and the Reform Candidate!!!!!, Rouhani, as if they’re not sock-puppets is just stupid. Although… at least Iranian sock-puppets work, so they have that going for them.

Who wins will show us what Iran thinks of the West I’d think. If it’s Rouhani, they’re going to pretend to ‘engage’ the West!!!!, if it’s the other guy, they’re going to get more overtly hard-assed. Should be interesting.

 

I don’t know if it’s new, 8 billion sellers of Che shirts might disagree, but it surely is hypocritical, ignorant and annoying.

 

The more you know about Robert E. Lee the more you respect him.

 

If Trump really wants to get America laughing and our fine social, moral, political and intellectuals frothingly maddened, I have a suggestion.

He could call himself Chaitlyn.
