A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Trump couldn’t shoot his age on our local muni track. Especially if he had to play his errant shots from our oh-so-prevalent rocks.

Reminds me of an old Willie Nelson interview. Willie was asked what par was on his private golf course. He replied “that depends. Today it was 87” or something like that.

I have been thinking about Sydney Sweeney’s two big boobs lately. Those being her attending Jeff Bezos’ wedding and appearing in the Aryan Eagle ad that resulted in Don Jr. posting a picture of his dad wearing a denim suit and Don Sr. himself lauding Sidney (sic) Sweeney on Xitter. All of which resulted in someone digging up her having been registered as a Republican at some point; something about which no one gave a shit until a week or so ago.

We are for sure in the midst of a soft civil war right now, when you consider that Texas is trying to rig the next election for Trump while California and New York are fighting back to rig the election against Trump (because all gerrymandering is election rigging).

“In war, the first casualty is truth.” Firing the BLS head is the latest casualty in that war.

If I knew who Sydney Sweeney was I’d probably be outraged. Yes, I know…old man…clouds…

Republicans flee DC to stop passage of legislation to release the Epstein files.

Democrats flee Texas to stop passage of legislation to uber-gerrymander TX districts.

Somehow, these two things are completely different.

I’m sure he said it publicly at some point, but GHWB once told my FIL that a man who will lie and cheat on the golf course will do so in every other part of his life. That’s why he distrusted Clinton for so long.

I can only imagine would he would have thought of this guy.

Do yourself a favor and google her.

Does she know the difference between “mean” and “median”? If not, I’m not sure she’s really adding much value around here.

Playing golf in West Texas: if you hit one out of bounds, don’t go look for your ball. There’s only a 10% chance of finding it, and a 50% chance you’ll get bit by a rattlesnake if you leave the fairway.

Same playing in Vegas. Speeds up play as you take a penalty and drop it up where it went out.

Save you the trouble:

Trump may be amending his lawsuit.

U.S. Factory Orders Declined in June

There has been a drop in orders for two of the past three months

The article cites figures from the Commerce Department, which will be looking for a new head in three…two…

Speaking of eugenics:

2.1 children per woman is what is required for a generation to replace itself. Just in case you thought the whole forced birth movement is anything other than racism.

Millennials are rejoicing. Complaining about old boomers clogging up society and cramping their style is their number one pastime.

I just buy them a drink every now and then. That softens their stance.

I’m loving the energy of Texas Dems right now.

The nightmare for Trump/Abbott is that this gambit is successful in preventing redistricting (because Texas closes the book very early on primary ballots), but New York, California and Illinois go ahead and do theirs anyway.

One of the CA GOP Reps who will be redistricted out of existence has introduced a bill to outlaw political gerrymandering. Good fucking luck with that, sunshine.

Texas is not going to hold primaries until they get the redistricting. Abbott/Paxton will simply not allow it go forward without it.

Won’t that require them to have another special session to change election laws?

If the TX Dems can hold out - not easy given that being in the legislature is somewhat of a volunteer activity and these people all have day jobs - Abbott and Paxton can scream and scream and scream until they are sick, but they can’t make this happen.

Comer Pyle just dropped a slew of subpoenas to compel testimony in front of his committee over “the Epstein thing”.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.

I think that’s everyone. I don’t see any glaring omissions. Eh? Oh.

Oh no!
