Morning meese…
The movie series “Fast and Furious” has nothing on the news dumps we are getting bombarded with constantly. A lot of it is a different slant on the same news but a lot of it isn’t. Hard to keep up for a single person but our squirrels nest makes it a lot easier to keep up with what is and what isn’t relevant.
Let me get this straight.
#GOPTaxScam blew a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit & the @USCBO says that as a result, the U.S. will hit the debt limit sooner than expected. Now, "deficit hawks" want to cut Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security.How about that. https://t.co/dop6xsYeOX

All the people enabling the Trump-Ryan-Nunes debasement of the rule of law and respect for American institutions are making a bet that history will validate Trump. That's a bet they'll lose.

This couldn’t have anything to do with Trump and his conservative white base could it?
The amount of white supremacist propaganda on college campuses in the U.S. increased 258 percent between fall 2016 and fall 2017https://t.co/ElRWVSfuXm

Fuck the Trump and the GOP…This really pisses me off!
This hero with 2 kids volunteered to risk his life for our country, came back with PTSD, a brain injury, and a substance abuse issue, and now our government is telling him he's not an American and needs to leave? Is that what we want? https://t.co/FVLIiMWJIK

Kidding. Everybody knows she isn’t a source of intelligence.

This is your Friday thread…
Fire away!
Good morn, Pond Dwellers and thanks for the post, Batch. What is this
you talk of? 😂Well, Phil saw his shadow and we’re going to have 6 more weeks of the Orange Shitgibbon. How depressing, right? I’d like to think he isn’t going to fire Rosenstein because that is the worst thing he could do. Anybody with a brain could see that. Then I laugh because I said tRump and brain in the same paragraph.
45 degrees in the capital city with a high of 69 today. If you can’t have rain…have a gorgeous day. Off to get a cup.
Good morning meese…
A limerick to start the day…
45* will be more insufferable than usual over the next few days, since he’s dumb enough to believe the Nunes memo vindicates him in some way. And the Sunday talk shows will be a hot mess; fortunately, I never watch them, so my blood pressure will remain in the safe zone.
Serious question though: What does Nunes get out of this? Is he just a suck-up in general? Does he think this will advance his career in some way? Is he profiting financially? I really, truly don’t understand what motivates him. Does anyone have any insight?
Oops, I forgot my manners…thank you, Batch! I always appreciate a righteous vent and your reminders to not get complacent.
{{{Batch}}} – good afternoon :) – been working on my taxes and just checking in everywhere. Thank you for the diary – and for ending, as always, with a lovely picture of the popularly-elected president. moar {{{HUGS}}}
