Australian woman bitten by 5-foot snake while on the toilet

An Australian woman received quite a shock Tuesday when she was sitting on the toilet and felt some pain which turned out to be a snake bite.

Helen Richards, 59, was at a relative’s home in Brisbane when she was bitten by the five-foot carpet python. Richards detailed the incident after feeling a “sharp tap.”


"I jumped up with my pants down and turned around to see what looked like a longneck turtle receding back into the bowl," Richards told the Courier Mail.

My 90 year old dad took a fall on thanksgiving 2018 and broke his hip. He refused any
rehab care after his hip replacement and so I had him taken back home for hospice care.
My 86 year old mom has been a road block @ times, he fights me when I try to help him
get up after a fall, and now it looks like he might not see the next month but ....

...it is what it is and in the end you gotta do the right thing.

BTW back in the day as a kid I met or knew of some wonderful people who were republicans
through my Dad .... Chuck Percy, Ray Shafer of PA, Bill Miller of Goldwater Miller, Ike, Margaret
Chase Smith of Maine, Norm Ornstein, Russel Baker, Bill Scranton, Mark Hatfield of OR, and others.

After his fall the nurse @ the hospital asked him questions to judge his lucidity and when asked
who is the President he said, "Do I have to answer that?" The nurse laughed and said no we hear that
all the time.

Oh well.

... corporations, millionaires, billionaires, right wing operatives, and "other folks" to buy influence w/
Trump & Company and then good God in butter did the grifting go mega-boom*. And then I see something
about the producer of "The Apprentice" being tied somehow to Russian money .... what the fuck is happening?



At this point I can't wrap my head around everything or even part of everything but all I can ask is:

What crimes or grifting didn't they commit?


* $40,000,00 for Ms. Ivanka and the Trump Properties ..... $2.5 million or $20,000,00 for a friend of
Melania's to do something or other for the inauguration and BTW her friend's company had never done
anything like that before. (rough facts and figures)

... Majority Leader of the United States Senate.

There simply is no more loathsome creature walking the political landscape than the Majority Leader of the United States Senate. You have to go back to McCarthy or McCarran to find a Senate leader who did so much damage to democratic norms and principles than this yokel from Kentucky. Trump is bad enough, but he's just a jumped-up real-estate crook who's in over his head. McConnell is a career politician who knows full well what he's doing to democratic government and is doing it anyway because it gives him power, and it gives the rest of us a wingnut federal judiciary for the next 30 years. There is nothing that this president* can do that threatens McConnell's power as much as it threatens the survival of the republic, and that's where we are.

McConnell declared himself in opposition to Barack Obama right from the first day in office. There's even video. Most noxiously, in reference to our present moment, when Obama came to him and asked him to present a united front against the Russian ratfcking that was enabling El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago, McConnell turned him down, flat. Moreover, he told Obama that, if Obama went public, McConnell would use it as a political hammer on Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Obama should have done it anyway, god knows.) McConnell issued a watery denial of these charges, but there's no good goddamn reason to believe him.

He doesn't have the essential patriotism god gave a snail. He pledges allegiance to his donors, and they get what they want. He's selling out his country, and he's doing it in real-time and out in the open. This is worse than McCarthy or McCarran ever were. Mitch McConnell is the the thief of the nation's soul.

White House adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump's now defunct company has reportedly won preliminary approval for five trademarks in China.

The trademarks for child care centers, sunglasses and wedding dresses were approved Sunday, according to The Associated Press.

Another trademark covering brokerage, charitable fundraising and art valuation services was approved Jan. 6, the AP added.

Trump, whose company reportedly applied for the trademarks in 2016 and 2017, announced last July that she would shut down her company to focus on her work in Washington.

Her business dealings in China have drawn criticism because of her role in her father's administration.

F*****g Grifters. Didn't Ivanka "shut down" her companies?

And "they" made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.
And "they" spent 7 years and 77 million to investigate Bill & Hillary's money losing real estate deal that
was called "White Water."

And why do I think that Ms. Ivanka’s products will not be subject to heavy tariffs?
