    Opening Twitter in the morning should henceforth be known as, “What damn fool thing?”

    In case you missed it WSJ is reporting 45s lawyer complained he wasn’t reimbursed for paying off the pornstar.

    How does our resident loon and fake Christian feel about extramarital affairs and porn? Only care if it involves a cigar?

    Another Democrat pleads guilty to a felony, resigns.

    Nashville Mayor Megan Barry pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony theft of property over $10,000 related to her affair with former police bodyguard Sgt. Rob Forrest.

    As part of a plea agreement, Barry agreed to resign as mayor, reimburse the city $11,000 in restitution, and serve three years probation.

    Prettier than Weiner but just as fucking stupid.

    The 54-year-old oversaw a business-friendly, socially-progressive agenda and was known for her accessibility.

    Access a little too easy, apparently.

    West Virginia Republicans have decided to settle their statewide teacher strike by giving the teachers the 5% raise they demanded and taking the money from Medicaid. Why do Republicans hate health care?

    Their governor is a piece of work. He got elected by switching from the GOP and running as a Democrat, then after winning switched back to the GOP.

    Captain Jan.

    Broward sheriff’s captain who gave initial order to ‘stage’ not enter Stoneman Douglas is ID’d

    BSO also did not respond to Fox News’ initial request for comment about Jordan’s alleged commands to “stage” outside, setting up an area to keep first responders safe before police secure a violent scene. Multiple law enforcement sources said that command also would have been detrimental to victims inside the building because it would have stalled officers.

    So a bad guy with a gun couldn’t be stopped by good guys with guns because Captain Jan.

    @4 Lying and stealing is mostly a Republican thing, but when a Democrat does it, we don’t lie and cover up for her, interfere with investigations, cover it up, or refuse to discipline her, like your gang always does. One of many differences between you and us.

    A CNBC headline this morning says, “Mnuchin backs tariffs, but says country ‘not looking to get into trade wars.'”

    No, he just expects other countries to be good little boys and girls by rolling over like lap dogs when we slap tariffs on them (including our friends and allies).

    Dumbest administration in American history.

    “February’s brutally volatile market saw investors flee U.S. stocks in near-record numbers …. Funds that focus on domestic equities saw investors withdraw $41.1 billion during the month … losses probably would have been worse had corporations not stepped in to snap up their own shares. Buybacks amounted to $151.1 billion for the month ….”

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/06/investors-staged-a-near-record-exodus-from-us-stocks-in-february.html

    Wait a minute, the math doesn’t add up; if corporates bought nearly 4 times as much stock as investors sold, then stock prices should have gone up, not down. This article doesn’t make any sense.

  14. 14

    @ 13

    Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, the $41.1B was only from funds focusing on domestic equities. That’s a minority of all of the money out there invested into domestic equities.

    I know it’s a huge cavern by now but once in a while pull your head out of your ass.

    Since his sooper seekrit memo caught fire and burned up while the world laughed at him Deven Nunes, like a good Russian Rent Boy, has had to move on* to Plan F (or G?) for fucking with the investigation.

    So now he’s working an entirely new angle. Because the old one was bullshit and now everyone* knows it. One of the biggest piles of Nunes bullshit was the false claim that the DOS-SEE-YEAH was what started the investigation. But as you are all no doubt aware by now*, it was Coffee Boy Papa Dop getting sick-drunk on expense account Premier Cru and drunk-splaining the Russian email hack-for-Trump to the Australian High Commissioner to the U.K. at a fancy London wine bar that prompted the investigation. What’s a Russian Rent Boy to do? Go after Australia. Of course. Dodgy Australia. Dodgy Ozzy. “Liberal” government. Obviously part of the Derp state conspiracy. And sure enough given sufficient time to dig (well, for RNC committee staff to dig) Rent Boy has got them now! Seems ten years ago (no, really ten years) The Ozzy govt gave money to a Clinton charity to do HIV testing and treatment in S.E. Asia. It all fits. It was all part of the master plan.

    Waaaay back in 2006 the future Australian High Commissioner for the U.K. who at the time was a back bencher in the Oz Parliament, used his super mind control to get John Howard to give money to the HIV charity in order to influence That Bitch, even though she went on to lose in 2008, but so what, cause then she was SOS and stuff and reasons, so that eight years later Donald Trump would invite a propeller head nobody to run his petroleum trade policy shop, who would then go to London and get stupid drunk at a private wine bar (that didn’t exist in 2006) and then we (and by “we” I mean the Derp State) would have him and we could all tell lies and shit about him and what he said when he was drunk (okay, I admit for this part you have to be willing to ignore the fact that Papa Dop has admitted to all this, just pretend) and then we could use that to get nasty sexting FBI people to do a wire tap and discover even worse stuff eat a nuthing burger, and confuse poor Pissident Trump so he’d fire Comey and scare the shit out of Sesh who’d then lie to Al Franken (who touched butts) and do a reeekyooosul and then Special Prosecutor and then… wait… what…
    #FREECARTERPAGE!

    *all except Doctor Dumbfuck, who is such a dedicated Russian Rent Boy that he has a miniaturized copy of the Sooper Seekrit Memo reverse engraved on the inside of his contact lenses and another in 24 point font tattooed on his back.

    Assholes gotta asshole GOP Edition 290,870,443…

    Utah Rep Mike Noel, under an ethics investigation for failing to disclose land holdings near Grand Staircase/Escalante while introducing legislation to alter land use laws that he would be subject to, proposes renaming the Utah National Parks Highway after Donald J. Trump after he attempted to overturn the newly expanded National Park designation.

    Those executive orders are headed to court.

    In lighter news, Democrats have vowed if the measure gets to the House Floor they will attach a rider for the “Stormy Daniels Onramp”

    @15

    The other new line of reasoning.

    Because Sam Nunberg was such a minor player in the campaign, and because one of the inteviewers he so freely submitted to apparently believed him to be intoxicated, 100% of the reporting on Russia on American television is completely irrelevant and full of lies because they let a drunk guy book himself on pretty much every network, even multiple shows on the networks and didn’t try to save him from himself by refusing to put him on camera.

    I missed that part of Journalism 101 when I was 19. On the record conversations are only on the record if you first give the subject a breathalyzer. (Yep, I took a j-class. It was required to write for the College Newspaper. I never ended up working at the College Paper. But lower division credits baby!)

  20. 20

    @18 the guy is a drama queen. He should have know better that he would be treated the way the conservatives treated him, he wouldn’t be so much of a whiner now. Almost as if he didn’t short GE and now realizes how stupid that was.

    Gary Cohn, Trump’s economic adviser, quit today. Why did he take the job in the first place? He knew how Trump felt about tariffs. How can you work for someone you think is wrong?

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/06/gary-cohn-plans-to-resign-as-trumps-top-economic-advisor-new-york-times.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This is a very strange presidency. The #1 job of its White House advisers is to stop the president from doing what he says he’s going to do. They fail most of the time, then quit or get fired. But what that suggests, more than anything, is that this president shouldn’t be president.

    @22 It makes no more sense to side with the cops in a knee-jerk manner, regardless of facts and circumstances, than it does to say every police shooting is unjustified.

    22, 23,
    Heckuva “bad apple” orchard.
    The weird thing about “bad apples” is they never seem to follow basic macro-economic laws. When the supply goes up the price goes up too. Trailerbillies pay more and more and get less and less.*

    *once you account for the cost of torts litigation and risk pool membership.

  27. 27

    How can you work for someone you think is wrong?

    To Cohn, Drumpf was 100 percent right about making the rich richer through tax cuts.

    1000 percent right even.

    This Country slaps sanctions on NK for the killing of the brother.

    What about Russia killing the political foes and the horrible treatment of gay people. Nothing.

    Speaks volumes of this Country….We would rather play games than to actually give to shits about Human Rights. This Country is not the Country of Freedom – complete bullshit. You might be able to say we are more free than X, or the most free, but you fucking can’t say we are a nation completely based on freedom. This “freedom” thing is bullshit. No fuck you – I didn’t say complete bullshit, I said bullshit.

    @16 Speaking of Stormy Daniels,

    “Donald Trump never signed the nondisclosure agreement that his lawyer arranged with adult film star Stormy Daniels, according to a lawsuit filed by Daniels in Los Angeles Tuesday ….

    “The suit alleges that her agreement not to disclose her ‘intimate’ relationship with Trump is not valid because while both Daniels and Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen signed it, Trump never did.”

    https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/03/06/stormy-daniels-sues-trump-says-agreement-invalid-because-he-never-signed/23378878/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: At least she got Cohn’s check instead of Trump’s, so it didn’t bounce, and getting paid is now Cohn’s problem.

    @19 Just having Republican parents should be considered sufficient grounds for intervention given the very high correlation between Republicans and child abuse.

  35. 35

    Well, it looks like the loon finally got himself lynched. It’s not like we didn’t see it coming. We all told him at one time or another not to hang out with those damned white supremacists.

    So are we going to have a memorial thread for the loon? Maybe post some of the loon’s classic head explosions for old time’s sake?

    I was in DC this weekend.

    I think I seen the ghost of Billy Graham in one of the bathroom stalls.

    @37 Probably on a gig in China helping them build up their cyber and military capabilities. Don’t have public internet there.

  40. 40

    @39 If the loon is alive and in China, I hope he isn’t giving Chrome lessons. A billion Chinese would soon be hopelessly double and triple posting forever.

  41. 41

    Wall Street probably won’t like the idea of Peter Navarro, a protectionist, replacing Gary Cohn, a free trader. Black swan event? Maybe not quite that bad but Dow futures are down 350 points tonight.

  42. 42

    @37 A black loon hanging out with white supremacists. Nothing good could come from that. I figure they had a few drinks and lynched him. SAD!

  47. 47

    @43 So here we have Doctor Dumbfuck crowing about a Democrat beating a Progressive in a Vermont mayoral contest because … well … there aren’t all that many Republican election wins to crow about these days.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
