Please pardon my brevity. One of the other tenants overloaded the power and kept knocking my AC out. Eventually the clerk found which one and helped him spread the load, but I missed sleep during and more sleep after, because I was so tense.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 2:47 (average 4:44). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (GQ Channel): Trump’s Nine Russia Scandals
Imagine, if you will, the wailing and gnashing of teeth we would see from Republican hypocrites had they had 1/10 this much filth on Obama. And there’s still much more that we do not yet know. RESIST!!
From YouTube (RWW Channel): RWW News: Jack Posobiec Recruits 4chan To Help Him Harass A Veteran
Barf Bag Alert!!
And these Republican Nazis claim to be patriots. What a crock! RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: In a ringing endorsement from the Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos said on Thursday that she did the math on Donald Trump’s tax plan and that she estimates it will save the United States roughly eleventy krillion dollars.
“I took out a pencil and paper and figured it out the old-fashioned way,” DeVos told reporters. “I wound up going through a lot of paper, because eleventy krillion has ten hundredteen zeroes.”
DeVos stressed that the eleventy-krillion figure was actually a conservative estimate. “The exact number was between eleventy and ninety-quelve, but I rounded down to eleventy,” she said.
Dang Andy!! She sure is using her PhD in Bullshitology! RESIST!!

I hope that dawg gives Roy Moore a triple dose!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
KO: Starting to close in, and the scandals, go get ’em, Meuller!! Good news!! Keep ’em coming, Keith.
BBA: Sick!!
NYer: imho, I know some elementary students that can do math better than her. How funny, Andy!!
Cartoon: Oh, yeah!! Don’t forget the other side too!!
Glad the AC is back on. Hope that you get some rest, and relaxation now. Enjoy your evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.
With Price out of the HHS now, we can HOPE that the CHIP program is able to stay running!
Andy sure did a bang up job, didn’t he? I doubt that DeVils knows any math that extensive!
If they had 1/millionth of what Drumpfenfarten has done in ONE month of his flailing administration, they would STILL be digging for more and have a multitude of special prosecutors on the job, night and day!
Good post, TC! Thanks so much!
Keith: Hypocrisy, thy name is GOPIG!!!!!
BBA: I can not watch, as I’ve sworn off idiots for lent!
New Yorker: DeVos got a silent earful at Harvard, recently!
Love the cartoon! Took me a few moments to figure out that was a dog tinkling on the elephant – and when I did, LOL!
5:16 Oh nuts.
Keith # 128 – Interesting! I knew there were more than one. But thirteen … even nine … and money laundering not even included??
Speaking of which, I gather Zembla has released episode three of four? And maybe Lona is getting ready to give is an analysis?
PFAW –
TNY – low hanging fruit, but very well done. Then there’s this:
Cartoon – It looks kind of like a werewolf pushmi-pullyou.
I can attest to HRM Queen Elizabeth II’s military service. My grandfather was stationed in London during WWII as the director of the Beaver Club, a Canadian NCO club. He had regular contact with the king and queen as well as princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. What’s more, there was often no car for her and she could be seen bicycling about when it was safe of course. No bullet proof limousines or helicopters or private planes to take her short distances, like out to Viscount Massey’s estate. (He was a governor general of Canada, and the brother of actor Raymond Massey.) If I recall correctly, she worked in a motor pool.
She did indeed work in a motor pool. I’ve seen documentaries, including pictures. She might not be able to repair your car today, but before all this computerization, she could have.
Keith Olbermann: Nine Russian scandals identified so far. And you can bet on it that the GOP won’t do anything but ignore until the 10th is uncovered. If that is after they pushed their tax cut bill through, otherwise it’ll be on the 11th…12th…
RWW: Honestly, this is legitimately put out there as opinion on a news show? Giving all this information on these individuals and calling them “skinny” and “little punks” is begging for their neo-nazi friends to beat them up. This is the worst hate-filled public enticement to kill people I’ve ever seen since those clips from the 1930s. I’m stupefied that Americans allow this to happen.
TNY: Not funny, Andy. You know all Republicans do their income tax on the back of a coaster and the amount they contribute to the welfare of society on the back of their hand, going up their arm with all the zeros if necessary.
Cartoon: It’s time to dump some heavier stuff on them, don’t you think?
Exquisitely done “Resist Hate” !!
Puzzle — 3:39 Does this mean that Puddy Tat is a little squirrely since he was so quick to go after the nut?
YouTube — Keith has the list of scandals beautifully articulated, and that does not even include obstruction of justice nor the possible money laundering allegations through his real estate business. As I sit here, I’m thinking of the nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty” and not because of the closeness of the names. It is, I hope, an indication of what will eventually befall Drumpf.
Whether it is literally his wall between the US and Mexico, or a reference to his real estate business, he definitely is looking at a great fall. What’s more, when it happens, I doubt even his lawyers and advisers will be able to resurrect him.
RWW — Barf Bag Alert indeed! I started listening and was so sickened by these idiots, that finishing was not an option. Alex Jones should be taken off the air. He is yet another national disgrace.
The New Yorker — Betsy DeVos specialises in gibberish. “She sure is using her PhD in Bullshitology! ” — Amen!!!
Cartoon — I loved this the last time you used it, and I love it even more now!
It’s a tactic for dealing with Republicans. Grab nuts and run.
Thanks all. Hugs!
