OMG this is purely awesome!

 

 

 

 

Ten bucks says Bubbles was checking out Doug Jones' son when he thought no one was looking. ;)

 

But seriously.  I love the look on Doug's wife's face.  She's looking at her son the same way Mama Khan always looks at me whenever she KNOWS I'm about to say something I probably shouldn't.

I forgot where I read it (admittedly I only read the headline and skipped the entire article) but I read that Omorosa is having difficulty finding takers (i.e. publishers) for her proposed book.

 

Not surprised. It's what she deserves. 

I will never forget that she once claimed that everyone would be bowing to "a president Trump" during the 2016 election, then promptly cried and whined that her family disowned her after the elections.  That told me all I needed to know about her and I had no interest learning any more.

 

Like @Khan, I am not here for any words that come out of her mouth, or on paper.

 

I will never forget what her good friend, Sheryl Lee Ralph, told her after she had asked Omarosa, "Why him?," and Omarosa was all "He will be in the WH, and I will be in the WH, and if you hop on this train with me, you will be in the WH, too."

 

"Girlfriend," Sheryl Lee said, "I'm gonna have to miss that train!"

    But my busy mind is burning to use what learning I've got,
    I won't waste any time,
    I'll strike while the iron is hot.

    I'm shocked that no one has commented on this (at least, that I've seen):

    Now there's irony for you: you're afraid of being poisoned, so you eat fast food, which is just another form of poison.  This man is like Jem: he's truly, truly, truly outrageous.

    Bannon's been on a slide for a year now, but it feels like something has changed recently. Now I see why.

     

    The Mercers seem to be the real power brokers on that side now and where they go everyone else follows.

    Bannon’s financial patron Rebekah Mercer reportedly cut him off after he, according to the Washington Post, “told several other major conservative donors that he would be able to count on the Mercers’ financial support should he run for president.”

    Based on the above, "Roy Cohn" is now trending.*

     

    * - for the record, Trump abandoned Cohn upon learning he had AIDS.

    We are in a very dangerous period. Yes, these despicable people are imploding, but when a powerful nation is unstable terrible things can happen.

     

    TLDR: I'm still drinking. :-)

    I guess that's why I'm mainlining Mylanta at this point.  I mean, it's been a full, solid year of constant rug-pulling from this administration -- and we have another three-to-seven more to go with this [!@#$%^&*]?  (Provided, of course, Trump doesn't blow us all to kingdom come.)  And this on top of student loan debts and continued unemployment??  My anxiety, depression, reflux and weak prostate can't take it.

    I'm sorry you are struggling Khan. I completely understand.  We just have to outlast this SOB. If he doesn't send us all to glory, I really do think his days are numbered.  This level of chaos isn't sustainable, imo. Now that the Republicans have their tax cuts I think they might cut Trump loose.

    I would honestly be shocked if he even makes it through one term. He's finally going to open up his big trap (more likely, big tweet) once too many times and get kicked out.

    "Sloppy Steve" is now trending based on Trump's latest deranged tweet about Bannon.
