MAHER MOCKS CREEPY CRUZ

Bill Maher last night admitted that he has a secret passion for tabloid magazines that dispense tidbits of inside information on celebrities.

Maher ticked off a selection from his own 25 things you didn’t know about GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

Using a recent article in US magazine that disclosed that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enjoys hot sauce on her meals, Maher’s writers came up with a similar fun fact list for the Texas senator.

“We have something called ‘equal time’ in America so now the other candidates are getting their 25 things you don’t know about me,” Maher explained before sharing a few.

Included in the list:

“I spent my entire freshman year of high school stuffed in a locker.”
“My nickname at Princeton was Fuckface”
“I named the stick up my ass, ‘Hank.'”
“Mirrors don’t show my reflection.”

HENRY ROLLINS TAKES ON NORTH CAROLINA"S MCCRORY

Author and singer Henry Rollins mocked North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory in his column for LA Weekly on Thursday, saying he was being “charitable” even mentioning him by name.

“The truth is that no one cares what his name is,” Rollins wrote. “He will be dimly remembered as the asshole who signed that fucked-up bill that embarrassed the majority of North Carolinians.”

Rollins became the latest culture figure to criticize HB2, which bars trans residents from using public restrooms according to their gender identities, and also struck down anti-discrimination statutes implemented in Charlotte.

The bill’s passage has led Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr and Cirque du Soleil to cancel performances in the state, while PayPal scrapped plans to set up a facility there. According to Rollins, the wave of criticism has put McCrory in an awkward political position.

“If McCrory eventually caves and tries to repeal it, everyone will know it’s because he values money over his homophobia, which he has poorly disguised as moral rectitude and common sense,” the former Black Flag frontman argued. “Either way he’s fucked.”

Rollins also revealed that he used to live in North Carolina for several summer seasons during his youth, and described it as “a great state in which to be a broke band on the road,” because of both the amount of venues in college towns in which he could perform and the number of fans who would open their homes to him after shows.

“Judging from the people of the state I have met over almost 50 years, I can’t believe they are pleased with House Bill 2. They probably are wondering how they got to where they are now,” he wrote.

NOAH GOES AFTER PRESS ON 'PRESIDENTIAL TRUMP"

Trevor Noah took the cable talking heads to task Wednesday night for changing their tune on GOP front-runner Donald Trump because he managed to get through his victory speech in New York without insulting anyone.

Tuesday night Trump gave what — for him at least — was a relatively subdued speech after destroying Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at the polls in New York’s Republican primary

“Donald Trump crushed it,” Noah said, “On probably the best night of his life that didn’t involve a swimsuit competition.”

“What we got to see yesterday was a new Trump,” Noah continued. “He was succinct. Disciplined. And respectful. Which, according to the media, made him presidential as balls.”

Noah then shared clips of Fox’s Geraldo Rivera, CNN’s Gloria Borger and even Trump nemesis Megyn Kelly praising the candidate as “presidential,” after a campaign filled with insults for his opponents and adversaries.

“‘And he wasn’t racist. And he didn’t call any female reporters a bimbo? This guy is ready for the White House — give him the codes!'” Noah mocked Kelly.

“This is ridiculous,” Noah continued. “Trump has basically lowered the media’s expectation so much that not insulting someone seems presidential to them. That’s a tactic straight from The Art of The Deal. Wear people down so that they will accept the bare minimum.”

“Trump stabbed a stranger of Fifth Avenue!” Noah smirked. “Yeah, but at least he didn’t shoot them. He’s so presidential!”

COPS CAN'T DO JOBS IF EVERBODY'S WATCHING

Gun violence is up dramatically in Minneapolis — and the police union chief blames public scrutiny of law enforcement officers.

The city recorded 74 shooting victims through the first three months of this year, compared with just 40 during the same period last year, reported the Star Tribune.

The predominantly black North Minneapolis neighborhood has seen gun violence shoot up to 55 cases in 2016, from just 21 during the first three months of 2015.

Tensions are high between black residents and Minneapolis police after the officer-involved shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark, and community leaders are angry at the police response to subsequent Black Lives Matter protests — where five demonstrators were shot and wounded by white supremacists.

Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, has a simple explanation for the increase in gun violence following the 24-year-old Clark’s slaying and widespread protests.

He admits that officers have stopped doing their jobs, noted City Pages — but he blames the public for hurting their feelings with protests and criticism.

“Kroll …. blames the crime surge on a shrinking police force and greater scrutiny of police that has left some officers disengaged,” the Star Tribune reported. “The slowdown in policing has been noticeable.”

Police have made nearly half as many proactive stops this year through April 11 as they had during the same period last year — with 3,706 in 2016 versus 7,732 last year.

There has also been a dramatic dropoff in the number of traffic stops and arrests for serious crimes.

Police officials said they’re trying to get officers out of their patrol cars to do their jobs, but those efforts apparently aren’t working.

City Councilman Blong Yang, who lives on the city’s North Side, agrees that Minneapolis needs more police officers — but he also thinks those already on the payroll should get back to work.

“With all due respect, it baffles me that anyone, including police officers, can disagree with ‘greater scrutiny of the police,'” Yang said. “You should do your job and do it well, whether 800,000 eyes are watching or none. The idea of some officers disengaging is troubling."

ART OF THE CRY BABY

Listening to The Donald in the closing days of the NY primary makes me wonder if the Trump voter has any grey matter upstairs. For months we’ve listened to Trump claim Lyin’ Ted Cruz has been stealing votes. In his latest rant, DT is complaining that the system is rigged, that Cruz is buying delegates with lavish gifts. Gee Donald, aren’t you supposed to be the master of the deal? How are you getting beaten at your own game?

It should be no surprise how the system works. If you’re getting into the game, you should know the rules. So either Trump has proved to us that he’s incompetent and really doesn’t know how to run a business because all the “smart people” he hires can’t figure out how to win this simple game or he’s unwilling to invest in the game and secure his votes by out spending Cruz. If he’s afraid to invest in his own success why should we invest in him making America great again? Just compare Trump’s spending to Cruz or Hillary’s.

Let’s face it - Trump’s cheap. He is not interested in spending what it takes to win. So what does that tell us about how he’d run the country? He’s embarrassed himself multiple times of late. Just read what happened in Wisconsin a few weeks ago!

So now we get to see exactly how he’s run the nation – just like his multiple failed businesses. He’s no master of the deal. He’s just a big cry baby who rode the real estate bubble to success.

TODD GOES AFTER McCRORY

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory blamed liberals over the weekend for a state law that strips bathroom rights from transgender people.

On Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd asked the governor if he regretted signing HB2 after 160 companies called for it to be repealed, and dozens threatened to boycott the state.

McCrory argued that his job as governor was to stop “government overreach” by cities like Charlotte, which had passed an ordinance allowing transgender people to use the restroom of their choice.

“It was the left that brought about the bathroom bill, not the right,” he insisted. “The city of Charlotte passed a mandate on every private sector employer in North Carolina, one of the largest cities in the United States of America. And I think that’s government overreach.”

“You talk about overreach,” Todd interrupted. “You say Charlotte overreached. How did the state of North Carolina, the state government not overreach in just the same way?”

“This has been a long debate in the city of Charlotte, this is where they came down,” the Meet the Press host pointed out. “You guys debated for like 10 seconds.”

“We’ve got to have more dialogue and not threats,” McCory said, adding that there was a “disconnect” between “corporate suites and main street.”

“That’s a very thoughtful thing for you to say about dialogue,” Todd shot back. “Where was the dialogue?”

According to McCrory, the legislature felt that it needed to act fast to stymie Charlotte’s ordinance because “once it came into effect, it would be harder to overturn.”

The governor admitted that he did not meet with transgender people before signing the law, but complained that the Human Rights Council was “more powerful than the NRA.”

“Which makes me want to overturn [Citizens United] because I don’t know who their donors are,” he quipped. “They are putting on a lot of pressure instead of having good dialogue.”

"GOD IS A BOOB MAN"

SNL took aim at a multitude of subjects associated with the rise of religious freedom laws that are anti-LGBT legislation in disguise, with a parody film preview of an “oppressed Christian” baker forced to not only make a cake for a same-sex couple but also to declare that “God is gay.”

In the clip — from the makers of God On The Run and Angel In Denim: The Kim Davis Story — cast member Vanessa Bayer plays a “small town baker without a care” until a same-sex couple demands she bake their wedding cake, causing her faith to be “tested.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF NBC

Despite being told by a co-worker that “gays are the most powerful force in America,” she refuses and what ensues is a court case following a meeting with a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who tells her all her legal problems will go away if only she’ll say: “God is gay.”

While taking a shot at films like God Is Dead, the parody also hits lawmakers who set aside problems such as being “the poorest state in the country, second in childhood obesity, and third in teen pregnancy.”

"HAVEN CAN WAIT"

Bill Maher last night closed the show by calling for the US to crack down on not only corporations that get away without paying any taxes, but religious institutions.

“Why, in heaven’s name, don’t we tax religion?” he asked. “A sexist, homophobic magic act that’s been used to justify everything from genital mutilation to genocide. 

You want to raise the tax on tobacco so kids don’t get cancer, OK. But let’s put one on Sunday school so they don’t get stupid.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF HBO



The fact that even a small religion like Scientology can own billions of real estate tax-free, Maher said, made him “hopping mad.” He also raised the point that religious participation in the US has declined to the point that 22 percent of Americans now identify as atheists or agnostic.

“Almost a quarter of us are being forced to subsidize a myth that we’re not buying into. Why am I subsidizing their Sunday morning hobby? They don’t subsidize mine,” he protested, before showing a picture of himself near a bong.

Among young people, Maher said, 35 percent “want nothing to do with religion” while the rest “worship an ancient Jew born over 2,000 years ago — Bernie Sanders.”

MADDOW GOES AFTER TRUMP

Rachel Maddow ripped GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump for campaigning — despite local and media criticism — near the site where a 37-year-old immigrant was murdered in November 2008.

“In presidential politicking, symbolism is a deliberate choice. And racial provocation is something with a deep and resonant history,” she said. “It is one thing to do that as a small-fry politician; it is another thing to do it as a front-runner for a major party’s presidential nomination. Being a presidential front-runner is a powerful thing. It can also be a dangerous thing if you want it to be.”

Trump appeared on Thursday afternoon in Patchogue, New York, for a Suffolk County Republican Party fundraiser, at a venue not far from the train station where Marcelo Lucero, who emigrated to the US from Ecuador, was stabbed to death after being attacked by a group of seven teenagers. Jeffrey Conroy, who was 17 years old at the time of the attack, was later convicted of first-degree manslaughter as a hate crime and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

VIDEO COURTESY OF MSNBC

While most of the nation was preoccupied with the election of President Barack Obama at the time of Lucero’s death, Maddow explained, “in New York the local story was Suffolk County and these racist attacks — these escalating racist attacks that had suddenly, but probably inevitably, turned fatal.

Lucero’s death led other Latinos in the area to confirm that the attack against him was only one in a series of them. Trump’s appearance in Patchogue on Wednesday, Maddow said, had local activists concerned that it would lead to a resurgence in violence against immigrant communities.

“Patchogue’s history of racist and fatal hate crimes against Latino immigrants is not necessarily a nationally-famous story,” she said. “But it is a New York-famous story. Donald Trump has not yet won the Republican nomination — he’s still trying to win the New York primary — but campaigning in Patchogue today on the street where Marcelo Lucero was murdered, it means something specific in New York.”

VERIZON CEO GOES FULL NUTTER

After Bernie Sanders criticized Verizon’s labor policies and stood with striking workers at a picket line in Brooklyn, the company’s CEO lashed out at the presidential candidate.

Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam put up a spirited response to Sanders on his LinkedIn page, citing a similar post by General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt from earlier this month.

I read with interest Jeff Immelt’s spirited response to Sen. Bernie Sanders putting GE on his hit-list of big corporations that are “destroying the moral fabric” of America..In fact, I share his frustration. Verizon is in Sanders’s bull’s-eye, as well. The senator’s uninformed views are, in a word, contemptible…

McAdam challenged Sanders’ assertion that Verizon has avoided paying taxes, citing financial statements that show the company has paid $15.6 billion in the last two years, which would add up to a 35% tax rate last year.

However, according a 2013 Americans for Tax Fairness report, Verizon made “Made $19.3 billion in U.S. pretax profits from 2008-2012 but paid no federal income taxes during the period” and received “$535 million in tax rebates.”

McAdam also pushed back against Sanders claim that the company had not invested in the United States. “Again, Sen. Sanders is wrong on the facts,” McAdam post reads, “More egregiously, he oversimplifies the complex forces operating in today’s technologically advanced and hyper-competitive economy.”

Nearly 40,000 Verizon landline walked off the job Wednesday morning after working without a contract since August. Workers say the company is looking to freeze pensions, make it easier to fire employees and rely more heavily on contract workers.

The Sanders campaign’s Twitter account sent out a response to McAdam’s post: “I don’t want the support of McAdam, Immelt and their friends in the billionaire class. I welcome their contempt.”

FUCK YOU O'REILLY

Larry Wilmore has waged a Twitter war with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday evening’s show.

On O’Reilly’s Monday night episode, the right-wing host had presidential candidate Donald Trump on to talk about his campaign and his ability to provide jobs to the African-American community.

“How are you going to get jobs for them?” O’Reilly asked. “Many of them are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads, and I hate to be generalized about it but it’s true. If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to give jobs to people who aren’t qualified for jobs?”

Wilmore further asked all races in his “Nightly Show” audience to make their own forehead tattoos to say something to O’Reilly and to use the hashtag#ForeheadSolidarity.

“If you have a forehead, you, too can tell Bill O’Reilly to go fuck himself,” Wilmore said.

LIBERAL TURNER EXPLAINS WHY HILARY IS BAD FOR BLM ON CNN

Nina Turner asserted on Monday that “brand loyalty” was causing African-American voters to support Hillary Clinton in spite of her 1996 remarks about “super-predators.”

After Bill Clinton recently shouted down Black Lives Matter protesters who disagreed with the use of the term “super-predators” during his administration, Sanders called on the former president to apologize “for trying to defend what is indefensible.”

On Monday, Turner told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that black voters “cannot be super-predators and then a firewall [for Hillary Clinton] in 2016.”

“African-Americans for far too long have been painted as the other,” she explained. “And the term itself — predator — is bad enough. Adding super-predator to it adds another dimension, and we know the impact that has on the African-American community.”

Rep. Hakeen Jeffries noted that Hillary Clinton had apologized for using the term “super-predators” in the 1990s, and he argued that the focus on terminology was a sign of “desperation” from the Sanders campaign.

“You are right,” Turner shot back. “Desperate people do desperate things and the Clinton campaign is very desperate right now… Let’s talk about consistency. Sen. Sanders has been consistent standing up for the working poor and the middle class in this country. He doesn’t change his message based on what will resonate with the voters.”

“Some in the African-American community do feel used,” she added. “I would argue that the secretary is enjoying this history, the brand loyalty that African-Americans tend to have.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN

Turner explained that she was “sick and tired of the Clinton campaign riding the back of President Obama.”

“So, let’s roll the tape,” Turner challenged Jeffries. “Let’s compare what [Sanders] said 30 or 40 years ago to the secretaries record up until this point and you will see who has been the most honest and consistent champion for the people of America.”

“Well, we have rolled the tape,” Jeffries replied. “And African-Americans throughout the country, including in your home state of Ohio, have consistently concluded that Secretary Clinton is best qualified to continue the Obama legacy.”

“It’s a brand loyalty going on there more than anything else,” Turner concluded.

SNL MOCKS CLINTON

SNL took another swipe at Hillary Clinton this week, portraying her pandering for votes in New York, taking a shot at Bernie Sanders supporter Susan Sarandon and recreating the candidate’s difficulties using a Metrocard to get on the subway.

Acknowledging her recent string of primary losses to Sanders, Clinton explains that she is happy to be back in New York — or as she calls it: “the Fat Apple.”

“God I love being back in the Fat Apple,” she explains. “My home state — except for Illinois and Arkansas — but they’ve already voted, so we cool, we cool.”

Donning a Yankees hat, she fake noshes on a New York hot dog and street vendor peanuts before flipping the hat around exposing a Mets logo, saying, “Ah. God I love those New York Meets!”

VIDEO COURTESY OF NBC

Encouraging voters to turn out for Tuesday’s primary — which is actually a week from this coming Tuesday — Clinton urges younger voters who are mainly in the Sanders camp to skip voting because, “voting is for nerds. Who cares? Just sleep in.”

Turning to vocal Sanders advocate, actress Susan Sarandon, Clinton offered an alternative suggestion for election day referencing her famous role in Thelma and Louis.

“To Susan Sarandon who said Trump might be better for America than me,” Clinton stated, “Why don’t you take Tuesday to go drive off another cliff.”

"YOU CAN'T IMPEACH HER IF YOU DON'T ELECT HER"

Last night BIll Maher told the GOP what they didn't wasn't to hear - and that was that they are not going to be winning the Presidential election in November. He told them to punt, and that its ok to do so.

Maher compared the GOP - liking them to a filthy house where an old lady lived with a 100 cats who peed everywhere.

VIDEO COURTESY OF HBO



Maher dismantled the GOP for its current choice between two unpalatable potential presidential nominees.

“Either Ted Cruz — a man with all the appeal of Jared from Subway, minus the inspiring weight-loss story — or Donald Trump, the zombie candidate,” he said.

What the party should do, Maher argued, is just “punt” this year and play defense against Hillary Clinton.

Maher told the nutters to play defense. Since the frothy wing nuts want Hilary ginned up on charges, he told them that the best way to do that is to allow her to win the Presidency, and stated, "you can't impeach her if you don't elect her."

IF CRUZ IS THE NOMINEE “I’LL GET CYANIDE”

Peter King isn’t ready to endorse anyone for president — but he definitely opposes one of the GOP candidates.

In an appearance Thursday afternoon on the Fox Business Network, King said that he appreciated Trump’s support on past issues like his investigations of Muslim radicalization in America — but he also didn’t like Trump’s attacks on John McCain, or the allegation that President George W. Bush lied about the Iraq War.

But those disagreements pale in comparison to how much King really doesn’t like Ted Cruz.

“With Donald Trump, I’ve had some real issues with him. On the other hand, in no way am I comparing him to Ted Cruz,” King said. “Ted Cruz — anyone in New York who even thinks of voting for Ted Cruz is a nut!”

“What if Ted Cruz is the nominee, Congressman King?” host Trish Regan asked. “What if Ted Cruz is the nominee — what do you do, then?”

“I tell you, I don’t know — I’ll get some cyanide,” King said. “I don’t know what I’ll do. I mean, I’ll just — you know, not gonna tell you.”

A stunned Regan asked again: “Will you vote for him?”

“Listen, put it this way: I will endorse the nominee of the party,” King concluded. “But it wouldn’t be the most, you know, vociferous support.”

About a year ago, much earlier in the presidential primary season, King previously entertained other possible methods of suicide in the event of a Cruz nomination — having long despised the Texas senator over such issues as his role in the 2013 government shutdown, and that “he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate” with anyone.

“BAKE THE FUCKING CAKE AND SHUT THE FUCK UP”

Young Turks Ana Kasparian blasted republican lawmakers in Mississippi on Wednesday over the lengths to which they have gone to promote their “religious liberty” with the passage of HB 1523.

“Religious business owners in the state would rather lose out on business because they’re so hateful toward a specific group of people,” she said. “Think about that for a second. Just bake the fucking cake and shut the fuck up. Seriously, why is it such a big deal? What’s gonna happen? Do you think that as you’re in the process of blending your ingredients, you might think about touching some other man’s dick? What goes through their minds? Just get over it.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF YOUNG TURKS



The law allows employers to cite “sincerely held religious beliefs” as the basis for implementing dress codes and other criteria in the workplace, and also lets businesses choose to refuse to render services to same-sex couples.

It has already provoked criticism both online and from the private sector, has also prompted three states to ban non-essential state travel to Mississippi.

“Here’s one thing that Republican politicians eventually listen to: businessmen,” co-host Cenk Uygur argued. “When corporate powers start telling you to bow your head, that’s what Republican politicians were made for.”

GOP’S MOST DISGUTING WOMAN DOUBLES DOWN ON CLOWNSTICK’S ABORTION POSITION

Ann Coultergeist this week defended GOP hopeful Donald Trump’s remark that women deserved “some form of punishment” for having illegal abortions.

During an interview on Monday, Wisconsin radio host Charlie Sykes argued that Trump had not “spent thirty seconds thinking about abortion before he was asked by Chris Matthews” about what would happen to women who had abortions if the practice was outlawed.

“When you start asking your guy these questions about policy, there’s no there there,” Sykes told Coulter, according to a transcript provided by Real Clear Politics.

“That’s crazy,” Coulter replied. “I thought the full exchange was fabulous.”

“It was a stupid hypothetical question that has absolutely no bearing on what a president does,” she added. “It is like asking a president, ‘If you were a tree, what tree would you be?'”

Sykes pointed out that Coulter had once said that she didn’t care if Donald Trump “wants to perform abortions in the White House” as long as he built a wall on the U.S. border.

“It is known as hyperbole, Charlie,” Coulter shot back. “This is what I mean. Suddenly the conservative movement has forgotten the meaning of hyperbole. They won’t criticize anything. Any misstep by Trump is completely blown up, even though it is nothing.”

Coultergeist is a parasite whose fifteen minutes of fame was up ten years ago. Her relevance to politics has fallen on deaf ears.

Talk about the moral decay at lower levels. You judge a tree by its fruit. Is it healthy or is it sucking up the life of everything around it to survive? Ann is the type of woman whom suffers from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.

It’s been awhile, but congratulations’ Ann, you are today’s most putrid human in the world! Enjoy numb-nuts!

SNL’ S PERFECT PORTRAYAL OF SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES, UPSETS SCOTTIE NELL HUGHES

Make America grapes again:

Fuckface Von Cownstick supporter Scottie Nell Hughes who was portrayed as a “full-blown nutjob” on Saturday Night Live has hit back at the comedy show, calling it “the ultimate shaming” and saying they never portray conservatives in a positive light.

“FULL BLOWN NUTJOB”




Appearing on CNN Sunday morning, Hughes said she was okay with the parody of herself — if not the hairstyle — but was unhappy with the premise of the skit.

“You know, I have a great sense of humor. My mother loved it — she thought it was the funniest thing; she’s gonna watch it every morning,” Hughes said.

In the skit, Hughes is portrayed by cast member Cecily Strong, who explains, “As a woman I like Donald Trump, but as a full-blown nutjob, I friggin’ love him!”

Stating, “you’ve gotta have a sense of humor and laugh about yourself,” Hughes said — after reading headlines about her portrayal Sunday morning — she was not pleased.

“Talk about the ultimate shaming, the ultimate sexism,” she said. “What does ‘SNL’ want me to do? Be barefoot and pregnant or maybe just talk about parenting issues?”

In an interview with The Blaze, Hughes went further saying she was “shaken” by how she was portrayed and that “tears were shed.”

“You’ve never known SNL to parody any conservative in a positive way — either male or female,” she said, “I don’t get paid to be positive about Mr. Trump. I’ve never been paid by him.”

According to Hughes, she was watching the episode and her daughter who asked her, “Why do they think you’re crazy?”

“So that was hard,” she said. “I had to explain that mean people and bullying doesn’t stop in elementary school. It continues throughout your life.”

 I would tell Ms. Hughes, that if it talks like a full blown nutjob, walks like a like a full blown nutjob, its a full blown nutjob..If you don't want your kid to see you portrayed as a full blown nutjob, then stop acting like one!

TRUMPS KNOWLEDGE ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS UNFATHOMABLE

Fuckface Von Clownstick, AKA Donald Trump has been a rich vein of comedy gold for Last Week Tonight host John Oliver, who once again hammered the buffoonish billionaire on Sunday night — this time for his ignorance of all things nuclear.

Calling Trump “America’s potential next president,” the HBO host noted that Trump seemed ill-equipped to talk seriously about foreign policy and nuclear proliferation.

In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper last Tuesday, Trump glibly suggested that countries that live under the umbrella of American security should step up, protect themselves and be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

“At some point we have to say, you know what, we’re better off if Japan protects itself against this maniac in North Korea,” Trump told Cooper. “We’re better off, frankly, if South Korea is going to start to protect itself.”

Asked about Saudi Arabia getting nukes, Trump replied: “Saudi Arabia? Absolutely.”



“He says that with the confidence of a man who could easily find Saudi Arabia on a map if he was given three tries — and the map only included countries ending with ‘Arabia,’” a smirking Oliver said.

Trump also stated that nukes could be used in Europe because: “Europe is a big place.”

“It’s ‘a big place’ is not a good excuse for using nuclear weapons,” Oliver explained. “It’s barely a good excuse for peeing in the ocean.”

Oliver then turned to comments made by President Obama about Trump’s interview, with the president stating that Trump “doesn’t know much about foreign policy, or nuclear policy, or the Korean Peninsula, or the world generally.”

“President Obama is basically implying there that you could fill a book with the things Donald Trump doesn’t know,” Oliver translated. “That book being the encyclopedia.”

Seriously folks, Fuckface is the last person you want near nuclear key codes, but what the hell, let him have at it! [Snark]

THE WAR ON WOMEN JUST WENT NUCLEAR

TRUMPS WAR ON WOMEN IS NOW NUCLEAR

Trump’s statement on abortions should come as no surprise. He’s been consistently misogynistic, from mocking a fellow candidates looks, to a rival’s wife. He even brags about his sexual conquests. That’s why he’s leading in the polls. He’s brought to life all the hate that’s baked into the 40% of GOPers who love him and stand by him.

Watching the 80’s special last night reminded me about Murphy Brown. Remember when VP candidate Dan Quayle condemned her for having a baby out of wedlock in 1992? See there it is, in all its glory. They hate a woman for having the baby and damn her if she decides to abort it. You see it’s always been about punishment. That’s their hallmark.

Remember Rush Limbaugh kind words on Sandra Fluke? See how Lyin’ Ted Cruz wants to take Planned Parenthood funding away to punish women by depriving them of health care? Fuckface Von Clownstick has mastered politics. He’s gotten the flip-flop thing down to an art as well. Just watch him on MSNBC: FLIP FLOP

Trump went on during the same interview to talk about how nuclear proliferation was a good thing.

Well congrats Donald, you’ve just taken the GOP’s War on Women nuclear.

YES HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT!

Fuckface Von Clownstick [Donald Trump] said on Wednesday that women who had abortions should face “some form of punishment” if Republicans were successful in banning the practice.

During a town hall event that set to air on MSNBC Wednesday night, host Chris Matthews insisted that Trump could not dodge the question of how to enforce an abortion ban.

VIDEO COURTESY OF MSNBC

“Look, people in certain parts of the Republican Party, conservative Republicans, would say, ‘Yes, it should,’” Trump replied, according to a transcript obtained by Bloomberg. “I would say it’s a very serious problem and it’s a problem we have to decide on. Are you going to send them to jail?” 

“There has to be some form of punishment,” he said. 

“For the woman?” Matthews pressed. 

“Yeah,” Clownstick replied, adding that the punishment would “have to be determined.”

“They’ve set the law and frankly the judges, you’re going to have a very big election coming up for that reason because you have judges where it’s a real tipping point and with the loss of Scalia, who was a very strong conservative, this presidential election is going to be very important,” the candidate opined. “When you say what’s the law, nobody knows what the law is going to be. It depends on who gets elected.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF MSNBC



While Clownstick walked back his inane comment hours later, there is no doubt in this bloggers mind that Clownstick’s cognitive thought process indeed meant women should be punished for having an abortion. This rhetoric falls in true step with the conservative narrative.

While this talk is dangerous, we should be accustomed to the shock and awe psycho babble bullshit of Clownstick. Maybe Clownstick could waterboard the women for their choice? Clownstick often suffers from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain. Foot in mouth disease, it’s what conservatives suffer from.

The abortion problem is a plethora, but the bottom line is - neither Clownstick, nor any other radical white pasty man – should it be their business to dictate to a woman what her personhood business is.

If it’s your religious belief, I could careless, keep your religion out of my business and women’s personhood. If it is indeed wrong to have an abortion, one, don’t have one, two, it’s your creators job to deal with it not yours!

The last I saw, women had the right to choice, until as such that the choice is no longer theirs, mind your own fucking business!

“THE ARGUMENT OF A FIVE YEAR OLD”

Anderson Cooper throttled [Fuckface Von Clownstick] Donald Trump on Tuesday after the Republican presidential candidate tried to pass the blame for his attacks on Sen. Ted Cruz’s wife.

VIDEO COURTESY OF CNN

“After saying you were going to spill the beans about Heidi Cruz, you retweeted an unflattering picture of her next to a picture of your wife,” Cooper said in reference to Trump spreading an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz online set side-by-side with one depicting Melania Trump more favorably.

“I thought it was a nice picture of Heidi. I thought it was fine,” Trump replied, prompting Cooper to say, “Come on.” 

“I thought it was fine,” Trump insisted. “She’s a pretty woman.” 

“You’re running for president of the United States,” Cooper said. 

“Excuse me. I didn’t start it,” Trump said.

“Sir, with all due respect, that’s the argument of a 5-year-old,” Cooper shot back. “The argument of a 5-year-old is he started it.”

Trump tried to argue that Cooper’s viewpoint was “the problem with our country,” but Cooper cut him off.

“Every parent knows a kid who says, ‘He started it,'” the host said.

Trump then accused Cruz of sending the picture. When Cooper noted that it was actually the work of an anti-Trump super PAC, Trump then blamed “Mittens Romney people.”

“Romney is embarrassed that he did so badly four years ago,” Trump ranted. “The guy choked like a dog.”

“Do you have proof he sent it out?” Cooper asked. 

“Everybody knows he sent it out,” Trump responded. “He knew the people in the super PAC.”

Fuckface has proven time and time again why he can’t be anywhere near the White House! This lone instance proves that this narcissistic putz has the mind of grade school bully.

SILVERMAN EASES TENSIONS FOR “SUPER RICH ASSHOLES” IF BERNIE BECOMES PRESIDENT

Sarah Silverman released a video on Monday expanding on her support for Sen. Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Daily Beast reported.

“This man is running for president on a platform that is just a giant ‘f*ck you’ to the above-the-law billionaire class who have been controlling government policy with their money and not paying a nickel in taxes through government loopholes they secure with said money.”

Silverman also identified herself as a former supporter of Sanders’ opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, even though it meant rationalizing Clinton’s financial support on the part of corporate donors.

“Every politician takes money from big money, ever since it was made legal through Citizens United,” Silverman explained. “It’s legalized corruption. If all the other ball players are taking steroids, you have to take steroids too to compete, right?”

Silverman said that she felt she had more in common with Sanders’ platform, emphasizing his reliance thus far on individual donors, while also rejecting the notion that his being a Democratic Socialist would be bad for the country.

“Good lord, under President Sanders, don’t worry, you can still become a super-rich asshole,” Silverman said. “It’s just that your fellow hard-working citizens don’t have to feed their children cat food in order for you to do it.”

At the same time, she assured viewers she did not want to push anyone into voting.

“If you vote or not, that’s not my business — I’m not your money,” she said. “Though like your mommy, I have a completely full bush.”

CREEPY CHRISTIAN NUTTER CRUZ CELEBRATES EASTER WITH THE SUGGSTION OF CARPET BOMBING INNOCENT HUMANS

CREEPY TED CRUZ

“And as we remember the gift of salvation on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, let us be so bold to ask the same,” Cruz said in a statement on Good Friday. Yet, on Easter Sunday, Cruz was singing a different tune, doubling down on his desire to “carpet bomb” the Middle East.

Fox’s Shannon Bream played a clip of former Sec. Hillary Clinton criticizing Cruz for his bomb-everyone-ask-questions-later foreign policy strategy, saying that the plan shows Cruz would be in over his head. Bream cited a CNN poll out earlier in March showing Cruz ranking fourth when it comes to America’s confidence in leadership on foreign policy. “So, as a first-term senator, as the secretary suggested, are you in over your head on foreign policy?” she asked.

Cruz’s first tactic was to blame the Obama administration, and Clinton along with it, claiming the United States has abandoned its allies. “This has been the most anti-Israel administration we have ever seen. And we have shown weakness and appeasement to our enemies,” Cruz said. He then attacked President Obama for visiting Cuba and working to lift the embargo on the country before criticizing the current anti-ISIS strategy.

“But we need a president who will bring the full force and fury of the United States of America to defeating ISIS,” Cruz continued. “Shannon, I’ll tell you, if I’m president, we will utterly and completely destroy ISIS. We will carpet bomb them into oblivion, using overwhelming airpower. We will arm the Kurds on the ground. We will use our forces to defeat them and we won’t put our forces in combat with the rules of engagement that Obama is so fond of that tie their arms behind their back that make it impossible for them to fight and win. That is wrong and that is immoral.

“If and when we use military force, we will use it to win, to defeat our enemies with overwhelming force and then we’ll get the heck out. We won’t engage in nation-building, but rather, we’ll keep America safe,” Cruz concluded.

In January, a Fox News host attacked Cruz for his “carpet bombing” strategy claiming it showed he had zero military understanding or experience.

Host Chris Wallace cited former commandant of the U.S. Army War College, Robert Scales, who argued that carpet bombing was “just one of those phrases that people with no military experience throw around.”

As Army Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland, the general in charge of the campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) explained, “Indiscriminate bombing, where we don’t care if we’re killing innocents or combatants, is just inconsistent with our values.”

“And it’s what the Russians have been accused of doing in parts of northwest Syria,” he said explaining why Cruz’s strategy was wrong. “Right now we have the moral high ground, and I think that’s where we need to stay.”

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t only matter whether or not you win, it matters how you win,” he continued. “And we’re the United States of America and we have a set of guiding principles and those effect the way we as professional soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines, conduct ourselves on the battlefield.”

"TED CRUZ WOULD BE OUR WORST PRESIDENT, BUT TRUMP MIGHT BE OUR LAST"

CREEPY MAN OR ORANGUTAN MAN?

House of assholes versus house of douchebags:

Bill Maher said last night that there are significant differences between the two Republican presidential candidates.

“Donald Trump wants to build a wall to keep out creepy foreigners,” Maher explained. “Ted Cruz is proof we need it.”

Both conservatives and liberals, Maher said, have come to him asking for help deciding between the two.

“Republicans, I feel your pain,” he said. “You’re stuck between a rock and a gross place. The House of Asshole or the House of Douchebag. Team Werewolf or Team Vampire. Verizon or AT&T. But we have to accept that being a grown-up means hard choices between disgusting options.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF HBO



The horrid of such a terrible choice - Maher took a swig of bleach — comparing it to picking between the Zika and Ebola viruses.

He compared Trump to Ebola in this scenario, saying, “he’ll violently kill you right away.” Cruz, on the other hand, is like Zika because “we don’t see the damage until future generations.”

I've written numerous [over 15 thousand] blogs over the years readers, and I've said many times, voting has consequences. With the current cast of GOPers running, these consequences can be dire!

Choose wisely in November readers, if Maher is right, this could be your last vote for a United States President.

CREEPY SEX TALK SOUNDS EVEN CREEPIER WHEN IT’S CONDUCTED BY A “CONSERVATIVE FAMILY CHRISTIAN VALUES” FANATIC.

“The best form of birth control is listening to republicans discussion birth control ~ Roger West 2012

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, who has campaigned on old-fashioned Christian values, has now been publicly humiliated amid allegations of an affair — and the release of an audio recording in which he is clearly caught in a compromised position.

The Birmingham News obtained a copy of a recording made of Bentley, capturing what appears to be excerpts from one side of a racy conversation he had with a woman on the phone. The recording is said to have been made by members of Bentley’s family, who were trying to find out whether he was having an affair.

Bentley’s wife filed for divorce last August, and the divorce was finalized in September.




Some excerpts:

· “So I mean, it was fine…he couldn’t tell who I was sending it to. And it didn’t say, ‘Hey baby, I love you so much and I’d like to spend the rest of my life with you.'” 

· “You’d kiss me. I love that you know I do love that. You know what, when I stand behind you, and I put my arms around you, and I put my arms on your breasts, and I put my head… and pull you real close. “ 

· “Hey, I love that, too, putting my hands under you.” 

· “I love you. I love to talk to you.” 

· “But baby, let me tell you what we’ve gonna have to do tonight, start locking the door. If we’re gonna do what we did the other day, we’re gonna have to start locking the door.”

The release comes after Bentley fired the state’s law enforcement secretary, Spencer Collier, amid an investigation of wrongdoing in Collier’s office — after which Collier turned around and accused Bentley of having an affair with his senior political adviser, Rebekah Mason, and misusing a state plane to facilitate the relationship.

In a press conference Wednesday, Bentley admitted to inappropriate behavior, saying it took place two years ago: “Since that time I have apologized to members of my family, to Mrs. Mason and her family and I apologized then for any conversations and behavior then that was inappropriate.”

But, he said, there was no actual affair: “I want everyone to know though that I have never had a physical affair with Mrs. Mason. I can assure the people of Alabama I have never done anything illegal. I have never asked any member of my staff or any cabinet member to lie despite what the former ALEA secretary said today.”

For her part, Rebekah Mason is also denying that any affair took place — and she is accusing Collier of committing a gender-based attack against her.

“Unfortunately there are still some people who are set on hindering the ability of women to work in the political arena,” Mason said in a statement. “I am proud of what I have accomplished in my professional career. And I am grateful for the opportunities God has given me to serve our state.”

LOUIE GOHMERT IS POSSIBLY THE DUMBEST HUMAN ON EARTH

Right wing nut job Louie Gohmert explained on Tuesday that he and other Republicans had voted against a bill to promote the recruitment of women scientists because it discriminated “based on gender.”

In a 383-4 vote on Tuesday, a bill authorizing the National Science Foundation to use its entrepreneurial programs to recruit women sailed through the House. Later in the afternoon, Gohmert took to the House floor to defend himself and the three other Republicans — Reps. Justin Amash , Glenn Grothman and Thomas Massie — who voted against the bill.

Gohmert acknowledged that the bill was “well intentioned,” but said that “this program is designed to discriminate against that young, poverty-stricken boy and to encourage the girl. Forget the boy. Encourage the girl.”

“It just seems that, if we are ever going to get to the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr., that he spoke just down the Mall, he wanted people to be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin,” the Texas Republican opined. “I know after race has been an issue that needed attention, then gender appropriately got attention.”

But Gohmert argued that “those things are not supposed to matter.”

“It just seems like, when we come in and we say that it is important that for a while we discriminate, we end up getting behind,” he continued. “And then probably 25 years from now boys are going to have fallen behind in numbers, and then we are going to need to come in and say: Actually, when we passed that bill forcing encouragement of girls and not encouraging of little boys, we were getting behind the eight ball. We didn’t see that we were going to be leaving little boys in the ditch, and now we need to start doing programs to encourage little boys.”

According to the lawmaker, the bill passed on Tuesday would have derailed the Madame Curie’s research, putting “millions and millions of lives” in jeopardy.

“I thank God that there wasn’t a program like this that distracted her,” Gohmert said. “But according to the bill that we passed today, we are requiring the Science Foundation to encourage entrepreneurial programs to recruit and support women to extend their focus beyond the laboratory and into the commercial world. Thank God that is not what Madame Curie did.”

Gohmert, Amash and Massie also voted against a second bill that would encourage mentorship programs between scientists and female K-12 students. That bill passed 380-3.

Congrats Louie, you are today’s dumbest human of the world. Enjoy numb-nuts!

“IS HE FOR RAEL”

There is always opportunity for politicians to pander to whatever demographic du jour they can. This time around it was time for Jews to have a turn as a parade of pandering made its way across the stage. On Tuesday’s “Nightly Show,” comedian Larry Wilmore slammed “little pushan fisted ignorant orangesicle” Donald Trump for saying that President Barack Obama was the worst thing to ever happen to Isreal.

“Humm, no, I don’t believe you. Whether or not you like Obama there are many worse things that have happened to Isreal,” Wilmore said, citing religious persecution “and 5,000 more years of religious persecution!” Trump played up his daughter’s pregnancy, saying that she was about to have a beautiful Jewish baby. “The level of pandering here is just so amateurish here,” Wilmore continued. “Most politicians kiss a baby, his daughter is having a Jewish baby.”

When it comes to the media’s commentary on the speech, no one seemed to care about the content it was the teleprompter that people said made him look like a leader. “Are they shocked that Trump can read!?” Wilmore exclaimed. “The bar is set so low for this little puchan fisted ignorant orangesicle that they’re actually fawning over the fact that he can read a speech?” By contrast, when Obama was elected he was mercilessly criticized for bringing a teleprompter with him to speeches.

That’s when Wilmore brought out Donald Trump himself to comment about his “perfect speech to the Jews.” The Trump imitation was so flawless he even had the strange light concealer under his eyes. He claims he used the teleprompter because it would help make things easier on journalists like Megyn Kelly. Trump said she recently turned 45, which he called disgusting, “because everyone knows after a woman turns 25 she’s useless.” He’s a great fan of women, by the way.

BEE SAYS NUTTERS ARE COCKBLOCKING GARLAND NOMINATION

Samantha Bee slammed conservative lawmakers on Monday night for going to any length to block the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland.

“Why are you cockblocking this gentle law Hobbit?” she demanded to know.

Bee rejected the rationale from “half-melted Reagan dummy from Madame Tussaud’s wax museum” Ted Cruz and other Republicans that President Barack Obama should leave the high court with a vacancy because he is a “lame duck.”

“Jesus Christ, he’s not a lame duck,” Bee said. “He’s three trimesters away from lame duckery. A president’s term is four years; you can’t say three of them are legitimate and the fourth is garbage. They’re not Indiana Jones movies.”

Instead, she said, they are holding out for their right to see either Hillary Clinton appoint “a transgender Black Panther abortion doctor” or Donald Trump nominate “a pile of Maxim magazines.”

MITCH MCCONNELLSAYS THE UNTHINKABLE

Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president and appointed with the advice and consent of the National Rifle Association, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell 

McConnell offered this unusual view of the confirmation process during an interview with Fox News Sunday. In response to a question from host Chris Wallace, who asked if Senate Republicans would consider the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court after the election if Hillary Clinton prevails, McConnell responded that he “can’t imagine that a Republican majority in the United States Senate would want to confirm, in a lame duck session, a nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association [and] the National Federation of Independent Businesses.”

The Majority Leader’s statement is significant for several reasons. For one thing, it suggests that his previously stated position that “this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” is a sham. Simply put, it’s unlikely that the NRA or the NFIB will change their position on a nominee just because Hillary Clinton is president and not Barack Obama.

But it’s also worth examining exactly who McConnell would give a veto power over nominees. The NFIB, of course, was a plaintiff in NFIB v. Sebelius, the first Supreme Court case seeking to repeal the Affordable Care Act. That lawsuit called upon the justices to impose limits on federal power that even the late Justice Antonin Scalia refused to impose in previous cases (although it’s worth noting that Scalia abandoned his previous principled stance when given the opportunity to cast a vote against Obamacare). When the NFIB isn’t fighting to take health care away from millions of Americans, it fights equally hard against raising the minimum wage.

The NRA, meanwhile, is known for its increasingly absolutist opposition to gun safety laws. Though Garland’s record on guns is fairly thin, the NRA opposes Garland’s nomination based on two cases he considered as a judge.

In the first of these two cases, Parker v. District of Columbia, Garland played a very limited role. InParker, two conservative members of a three judge panel struck down the District of Columbia’s strict handgun laws, over the dissent of another conservative, George H.W. Bush appointee Judge Karen Henderson. The District then asked the full appeals court to reconsider this decision in a process known as en banc review. Garland was one of four judges who voted to rehear the case, as was Judge A. Raymond Randolph, an extraordinarily conservative H.W. Bush appointee.

A 5-4 Supreme Court eventually agreed with the three-judge panel in District of Columbia v. Heller, the first decision in American history to hold that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to bear arms.

The second case cited by the NRA is National Rifle Association v. Reno, where Garland joined a decision by Judge David Tatel upholding a database the FBI uses to audit the background check system used to screen potential firearm buyers. The FBI retained information regarding individuals who sought to purchase firearms for six months after they attempted to make this purchase, and used this information to perform “quality control checks on the [background check] system’s operation by reviewing the accuracy of the responses given by the NICS record examiners to gun dealers,” among other things.

After six months, information in this database was destroyed. Nevertheless, the NRA claimed that the FBI was required to destroy this information much sooner.

Judge Tatel’s opinion rejecting the NRA’s argument relies on several interlocking provisions of federal law, as well as longstanding Supreme Court doctrines calling for deference to federal agencies, so it is not easily summarized in just a few paragraphs. You can read his opinion and assess his reasoning here. It’s worth noting, however, that NRA v. Reno is a classic case of gun groups seeking to win a victory in the courts that they repeatedly lost in Congress.

A provision of federal law requires the government to “destroy all records . . . relating to the person” who seeks to purchase a firearm — something the FBI did after six months — but does not order the government to do so within a specific time frame. As Judge Tatel notes in the opinion joined by Garland, members of Congress attempted multiple times to change this law to require the government to “immediately” destroy records produced by the background check system, and these efforts repeatedly failed. Thus, having failed to write the word “immediately” into the statute, the NRA asked the courts to do it for them. Tatel and Garland refused to take up this invitation.

So McConnell isn’t simply delegating his duty to evaluate potential Supreme Court nominees to the NRA, he’s deferring to the NRA despite the fact that the gun lobby group’s case against Garland is very thin. It consists of Garland’s single vote to rehear a case that one of his court’s most conservative members also voted to rehear, along with a decision to allow the FBI to continue to perform audits on the background check system after lawmakers sympathetic to the NRA tried and failed to shut those audits down.

CONGRESSMAN'S WAREHOUSE

Have seen the commercials for Men’s Wearhouse, the dress clothes retailer, which end with the bearded CEO promising , “you’re going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.” But you almost certainly haven’t seen the ad for Congressmen’s Wearhous - until now !

While Congressmen’s Wearhouse doesn't really exist; or does it........

The video, a parody video if you will from Big Bad Boris, satirizes the purchasing of politicians, and foresees a day when the falling price of candidates ushers in a whole new way of campaign-financing– cut-rate candidates for the budget-conscious consumer!


CONGRESSMAN'S WAREHOUSE




The mission of CMW is clear: “At Congressmen’s Warehouse, you don’t have to be a billionaire to buy a candidate. We welcome your dark money no matter what denomination it comes in,” including bitcoins, Apple Pay and unmarked singles. 2016 has seen the rise of crowdfunding (Bernie) and self-funding (Trump) as alternatives to the super pac. Congressmen’s Warehouse offers another alternative – niche-funding or personalized pandering. Now every citizen can buy their own candidate, selecting from a ready-made set of memes, dog whistles and hidden agendas to advance their interests and obsessions.

They offer congressmen “tailored to your agenda and pocketbook,” enabling customers to build their own standard-bearers out of the latest political styles and stances, from climate change denial, to second amendment fetishism, to transvaginal ultra-sounding.

Often parody's mimic the realistic view or perception b y others - of the one being mocked, in this instance, this clip is dead nuts spot on.

STORE POLICY

COURTESY OF MIKE KEEFE

If you’re a moderate, liberal or independent you need to tune in and listen closely to what the right is saying – especially the Trump voter. It’s time to unite against the elephant menace.

By now we all know the hallmarks of Trumpenstein’s platform. All feel good ideas to the 35% of the righty who wants to make America great - like it was when women stayed in the kitchen, immigrants were the cheap help that came over the border to pick our fields and didn't stay, and government was small. You know, 1950.

Trump’s boarder wall makes me laugh. The problem is walls mean nothing to the motivated criminals, especially the drug cartels. These are the same guys that started using submarines when the Coast Guard amped-up their surveillance of the seas. Listen to what the Marines have to say about walls.

What pisses me off most is the utter contempt they have toward those that disagree. According to them we’re weak, racists against whitey, that we hate the military, that we don’t love our country like they do. Donald himself called us "pussies". "They want their country back!"

Well friend, we won the election. The Presidency is ours. Oh and we’re going to win this one too, albeit only if you get out and vote – take your neighbor, grandma, Uncle Joe. Make sure your college student is registered and has an absentee ballot.

I don’t plan on giving this country back to these tribal idiots anytime soon. It’s store policy – no returns.

THE BULLSHIT TSUNAMI

I’ve been trying to understand the Trump voter better. I know, waste of time. Their candidate, and most of them, just fans the flames of anger and divisiveness.

Why is that? It started over 20 years ago, when the republicans won control of Congress. "To truly achieve the level of change we want, we have to have control," Newt Gingrich said.

How’d that work out? The institution of trade polices that allowed their cronie-capitalist friends to accumulate ever more wealth while the rest of us are left in the dust. I’m not anti-trade; I’m pro fair trade – trade that protects American jobs.

Tax policy? It’s voodoo economic theory. It’s never, ever been successful! Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman warned us about their plan. However, the real threat to America lies deep within their thinking.

Have you ever listened to Ted Cruz? I know, its hard, but try. He professes to be an original intent brand of the Constitutionalist.

Original intent? Sorry, there’s a shovel full on top of Bullshit Mountain. They like term limits, except when it limits them. They like the original intent, but now Cruz thinks there should be limited terms on the Supreme Court. Reminder – the original intent of lifetime appointments was to eliminate transient political influence on the court.

Listening to the speech Marco Rubio gave on the eve of Super Tuesday 3, it struck me how they phony they really are. May God bless the conservative movement - horseshit! The liberals aren’t your enemy. This is not good vs. evil. Marco, this is why you lost - try reading Mathew 5:44 and put that message into your heart.

Yeah, we’re in the middle of a Tsunami, a bullshit tsunami. The GOP has done a great job of churning the water so all the crap comes to the surface. What I learned this week in talking to the Trump supporter is that they’re angry – and love, compassion, and empathy are things they boldly mock. So Bye-bye Little Marco, maybe you should show up for work now and do what Florida voters elected you to do.
