  2. from inverse 11/28/19:

    Ahead of an otherwise sleepy holiday weekend, Mark Hamill launched a snarky Twitter bomb at Donald Trump and his son Don Jr. on Wednesday, likening the President to Star Wars villain Jabba the Hutt, a repulsive, obese slug who keeps women in chains and maintains a shadowy criminal empire by forging ties with some of the shadiest creeps in the galaxy. And it isn’t the first time the actor has drawn this comparison. Hamill’s tweet came after the President tweeted a ridiculous photo of himself on Wednesday, which depicted his face superimposed on the body of a fit prize fighter. Unsurprisingly, the President’s tweet launched an outpouring of barbs from the other side of the aisle. Don Jr. got in on the spat by sharing a photo of prominent House Democrat Adam Schiff, with his head superimposed on a spindly, dweebish body.
    In response to this, Hamill directed a spate of photographs to Don Jr., addressing him as Fredo, a reference to the loathed, traitorous son of Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather Parts I and II. “Not to be outdone, can you guess which of these 4 photos was clearly NOT non-doctored? #tRUMP,” the actor wrote.

  3. BTW what’s with this “coup” charge?  even if the twit is removed, they’ll still have pence.  the gopers will still be running things in the executive branch and in half of the legislative branch.   they may be coo-coo but they sure as hell not coup-ed.    not until nov. 3 2020 that is.

  5. from NYT best of late night on “Trump’s Poison Pen” 

    “And this might be the most deranged letter to Santa ever. It is a long, stupid, disingenuous and incoherent defense, signed by an angry gorilla with a Sharpie. I mean, is this a signature or a seizure? This is why you don’t snort Sudafed on an empty stomach.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
    “I don’t even know how to describe the tone of it. I guess if you took the most privileged white lady ever and gave her a whole bottle of wine and then asked her to write a Yelp review of a restaurant that made her wait 40 minutes for a table and then got her order wrong twice.” — SETH MEYERS
    [As Trump:] “Your spiteful actions display unfettered contempt for America’s founding, and your egregious conduct threatens to destroy that which our founders pledged their very lives to build. Yes, a nation built on the belief that powerful white men face no consequences whatsoever.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
    “Then Trump complained about how damaging impeachment has been to those he loves. [As Trump:] You do not know, nor do you care, the great damage and hurt you have inflicted upon wonderful and loving members of my family. You’ve hurt them all, from the innocent wife I cheated on with a porn star, to the poor kids whose mother I bailed on two wives ago — all of them.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

  6. Did a little Star Wars binging last weekend. The death of Jabba is one of my favorite scenes. My vote for costume design. 
    SFB is unhinged. When we refer to him using the numerical designation, should we refer to him as 3 instead of 45?

  8. That was a great scene…  a little woman besting that big fat…
    oh… you’re talking about Star Wars….

  11.  If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table and scream like whiny bitches. 

  12. Hey, that last Republican used “obfuscate”- must be reading my posts.  Thieves and liars!
     
    Nadler makes good arguments.

  16. Pennsylvania sends some embarrassing Republicans to the House.  

    They’re getting a lot of time, meaning the GOP feels they need PA in 2020.

  17. Is it just me or is there a certain sameness about what the members on both sides of the aisle are saying?
     
    Pogo…  I watched about a half hour of it earlier…  I couldn’t take it anymore.  I’m not a 5 yr old watching Frozen for the hundredth time.

  18. conspiracy thought for the day

    knowing that sfb is glued to the show, being he is tv addicted and his narcissistic personality disorder requires it (since it’s completely about him), it’s possible that this repetitious droning for hours is a devious plan by bipartisan powers to drive him so nuts he resigns, jumps off the Truman porch, runs nude thru the west wing or curls up in a fetal position under the resolute desk to be coaxed out with a big mac and taken away in a straight jacket. 

  19. They forgot the witch and fire emojis.
    Mike Bloomberg is spending his money on ads here.  Anyone in a non-Super Tuesday state seeing his ads every half hour, no matter the channel?  His ads are trying to straddle moderate and left-leaning positions.   

  22. There is nothing Christian about Donald Trump.  And, no, the J doesn’t stand for Jesus.   Any elected official supporting this horrible MAN-child  (not even a lower-case g,  god) had better not try to play the Christianity card in the future.        Liars, liars, liars.

  25. BiD – one of the joys of not watching a lot of television is I miss the delightful political ads, and the other ads too.  Unfortunately, I live in the D.C. region so we are bombarded with Bloomberg ads so much that when I try to watch the weather segment on local television at 0452, I sometimes see part of an ad. 
     
    I have a hard time believing that those who are moderates anything or are indies would be willing to vote for another party bouncing billionaire (that is if SFB really is more than a broke grifter) who promises them the world and great jobs and lots of ice cream with sprinkles on top.

  26. Ms Dallas,
    Wasn’t his coming predicted in Revelations ?
    And, hasn’t his arrival been proclaimed by his apostles perry and lowdermilk ? 
    Bow down and worship the builder of trump temple, Marla’s Ego !
     
    Slay A Goat For donald !

  30. My only reservation about calling SFB 3 is that it might offend the offspring of TJ and SH and could cause confusion – some idiots thinking we’re intending to equate SFB with TJ, which could never occur in the real world.

    XR, the only trinity SFB could possibly be associated with is fat, mean and stupid (but feel free to substitute your own adjectives)

  32. “…to impeach a duly-elected President.”
     
    …as opposed to an unduly-elected President?  Republicans just vomit nonsense and hope you aren’t paying attention.

  37. Flatus, your road into the past stretches farTher than mine. I was eight years old when John Foster Dulles died, and I have absolutely no recollection of him other than by the name that comes by way of Washington Dulles airport.

  38. Donald J. Trump is now and forever publicly acknowledged  as the LOSER that he’s always been.  *IMPEACHED

  39. Ms Dallas,
     
    Thanks for your clarification. However, I hesitate to burden normal 3 year olds with an invidious characterization. I mean, having been a 3 year old myself a mere 70 years ago . . . .   

  40. John Foster Dulles had one or two good points. He was dull, as in boring. After trump, julie annie, pompey, igor, lev and our other secret foreign secretaries, however, dull, as in boring, seems kinda restful.

  41. I’d say that it has been a long time since the House has seen the likes of a speaker like Nancy. 
    btw, McMertle and squeaky would be disqualified from sitting on a petit jury in a dog bite trial as a result of their admissions that they are not going to be impartial and are not going to consider any evidence. They are a disgrace. 

  43. Nancy Pelosi at age 79 is amazing. She’s more coherent than people decades younger, and she’s able to bop around in 4″ stilettos. 

     
     

  44. Ya, Mr Pogo, I think Moscow midge would flunk voire dire for being a proud flunky. 
     
    midge will vote his conscience, for what that’s worth.

  45. “it has been a long time since the House has seen the likes of a speaker like Nancy. “

    pogo, even the best of those never bore 5 children.
