Pray for me.

I am trying to be strong.

I will be in DisneyWorld next week, and am trying to resist the temptation to rush and tackle Robotrump in the Hall of Presidents. If you hear of that happening, it was likely me.

May need to do a GoFundMe for bail and legal defense.

All read-The next step is the special election in Pennsylvania

This is a heavily Republican Gerrymandered District, but we have a good candidate running in Conor Lamb. Here is a link to his website. If you can help in any way, please do so and let us know what you did.

Upcoming Pa-18 Special Election

No one is talking about this so I thought I’d start a discussion.

This district is safely Republican, and I think it is not possible to take it. The incumbent (who resigned under typically Republican tawdry circumstances) didn’t even have Democratic opposition the last few elections. Latest polls say R+12 I think, and that is probably how it will end up. It is carefully drawn to include none of the Democratic voting Pittsburgh metro area, and include Greene County (aka North Mississippi) and Westmoreland County. This seat was once held by Rick Santorectum, and that’s just about all you need to know.

No doubt Trump will show up, utter a few syllables and declare that his endorsement made the difference.

Results of Trumps physical are in....

...and X-rays of his skull show nothing.

Official list of Shithole Nations

Trump is denying that he used that term, so naturally I am waiting for the audio to confirm that he did. Anyway, does anyone know of an official list of Shithole Nations? If not, we can nominate some here. I suggest that we use bigly unemployment and poverty, lack of the best colleges or college, lots of people of color (other than orange, which is OK), and lack of cofveve as our yardsticks. Lots of morans should also be taken into account. Here are my suggestions to start things off:

Mississippistan
Alabamia
Louisianata
West Virginistan

OK DU, don’t fail me. I know you can come up with a few more!

Issa bails out!

Darrell Issa is not running for re-election! Last race was close and Hilary won his district. Day-um!

So I am on Page 151 of Fire and Fury

And my main impression of the Trump White House is that having Bannon, Kushner, and Priebus all there was a case of too many scorpions in the same terrarium. I think Kushner prevailed because he is family. My main impression of Trump is that his thought processes run about as deep as pee on a hot sidewalk.

BTW, lets all buy a copy so it can be number 1 on the Amazon book sales list and torture that orange idiot. I got mine at Wal-Mart.
