Assorted political nonsense - Xmas week

[sparrowsong]

BRINY BREEZES — A Palm Beach County trailer park could be the site of a future Donald J. Trump presidential library.

That’s the vision of James Arena, a real estate broker and resident of Briny Breezes, the 43-acre coastal town just south of Boynton Beach that’s made up entirely of a mobile home park.

Arena, an avid Trump supporter, says he thinks he can convince the president to buy the land and turn it into a personal monument. Arena said he has the ball rolling by reaching out to his friend, rapper and Palm Beach County resident Vanilla Ice, who is close to the Trump family.

“Vanilla Ice ran it by Donald Jr.,” Arena said of the president’s eldest son. “He called me back and said, ‘Man, I think they’re really into it.’”

Trump actually buy and pay FOR it? I wish stupidity hurt.

[NewOrleans]

Where do you begin to unpack this? Trailer park, a library for an illiterate buffoon, Junior, Vanilla Ice...

[isabel]

All the other fuckery aside, are we actually talking about buying land to displace people who live in trailer homes? Because that's kind of fucked up in and of itself.

In a thread a while back (like possibly a year or two ago) someone posited that the Trump “library” will be just walls and walls of TVs playing Fox News.

And maybe a few ghostwritten books for good measure.

[aliciabella]

It makes absolutely perfect sense. Bravo on the shade.

They could wallpaper the entire building in his tweets.

And instead of benches to sit on, toilets.

It will only house his own books or positive books about him.

I’ve always been fascinated by Briny Breezes. Guess I’m not surprised they love Trump.

A Bernie Bro FB friend shared an article titled "Amy Klobuchar has voted to confirm more than half of Trump’s judicial nominees." Guess they didn't read the article because Bernie Fucking Sanders voted to confirm 43% of the time. Apparently that's okay but another 7% is just too far? FFS.

Trump rails against windmills (he means wind turbines) again

A quote: "All of a sudden, it stops; the wind and the televisions go off. And your wives and husbands say, 'Darling, I want to watch Donald Trump on television tonight. But the wind stopped blowing and I can't watch. There's no electricity in the house, darling.'"

🤬🤯

Kevin McCarthy made the rounds spewing Putin’s Propaganda yesterday:

This isn’t politics or a difference of opinion. This is avaricious gaslighting for the express purpose of dismantling our democracy.

It’s DEFCON 1-level dangerous, & a betrayal of the office so profound, it rises to the level of treasonous incitement. McCarthy should be censured

Quoting McCarthy’s Tweet, which, in addition to a clip of him spitting these lies on Faux News, reads:
The FBI broke into President Trump’s campaign, spied on him, then tried to cover it up.

This is a modern-day Watergate.

UGH- the leader of the GOP’s House 🙁

It is also Hanukkah week.

Interesting read on the Senate trial, and good news for Ds.

“The contours of the trial will be set by rules dating to the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, in 1868. Those rules leave answers to such questions as whether witnesses will appear, and when the trial may be adjourned, to the chief justice of the United States, John G. Roberts Jr., who — as set forward in the Constitution — presides over the proceedings. By comparison, Schumer and McConnell are bit players.”

So a WA state legislator is accused of being a domestic terrorist. Guess which party!

www.npr.org/2019/12/20/790192972/washington-legislator-matt-shea-accused-of-domestic-terrorism-report-finds

Independent investigators commissioned by the Washington State House of Representatives found that Shea, as a leader of the Patriot Movement, "planned, engaged in, and promoted a total of three armed conflicts of political violence against the United States government" between 2014 and 2016.

The report also concluded that Shea was involved in training young people to fight a "holy war." He created a pamphlet called Biblical Basis for War and advocated replacing the government with a theocracy and "the killing of all males who do not agree."

Bevin’s parsons of assorted murderers and rapists is under review.

@@@ and TW:

SPOILER: Click to show

He said he pardoned the child rapist because the child’s hymen was intact so no evidence, because Republicans don’t believe in studies and science and whatnot

So now the FBI is reviewing some of the pardons. I hope they will also be checking his computer and phone because you know he has tendencies if he sympathizes with assailants of children.

Murkowski is “disturbed” by Mitchy’s statements. L.O.L.

www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/26/21037843/murkowski-disturbed-mcconnell-pledge-trump-impeachment

Next up: Collins will be troubled and Mittens will scratch his chin thoughtfully and then go back to washing his pantyhose.

I never post tweets in here so I get a pass. It says that he has been toilet tweeting the whistleblower’s name, QAnon, stuff calling Obama Satan’s Muslim scum, and other assorted batshittery.

Probably one of his handlers realized it wasn't a good look since it directly involved his impeachment.
