Question of the Day: Should Sheriff Arpaio’s Conviction Get Tossed?
Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt. President Donald Trump pardoned the sheriff on August 25th. So now Mr. Arpaio’s defense attorneys and President Trump’s Department of Justice are pushing the judge to dismiss the case…saying it’s a moot point because of the pardon. I call bullshit…the conviction and verdict should stand […]
Paul Ryan Still Hasn’t Had a Real Town Hall Meeting.
But he knows how to pretend he has! From his email on Friday (which includes a link to the coverage of his controlled CNN town hall that even limited attendance by the media):

Paul works for you […]
Why Is Eric Trump Even There?
This little snippet is from a bigger WaPo article about President Donald Trump’s displeasure with Senator Bob Corker (R – Tenn). But it mentions Eric Trump in one quick aside…and only that aside:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is not only an attorney but a long time US Senator. To pretend he doesn’t know how formal investigations work in the US Senate is absolutely astounding. And not to know the DOJ policy or didn’t consult with his staff and prep before appearing on the hill is dereliction of duty. […]

It’s been a long, long time since I wrote a ” Kook of the Month ” post for Blogging Blue. Too long.
And while any good writer properly abhors a cliche’, when it comes to kooks GOP State Rep Jesse Kremer truly is the quintessential definition of low hanging fruit, if you’ll pardon […]
Following the former FBI director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate…Speaker of the House Paul Ryan once again defended a clueless president:
“the president’s new at this…He’s learning as he goes.”
Ignorantia juris non excusat
One of these days, Rep. Ryan is going to hurt himself twisting in the wind so violently. Let’s […]
Remember the meme of the last few years? I like everything about Obamacare except the Obama part? Well it’s Deja Vu all over again to a point!
Senator Elizabeth Warren with the support of any number of senators including many from the GOP is putting forth a bill that would allow over the counter […]
I Didn’t Know This Would Be So Exhausting!
Is what is floating through the mind of President Donald Trump after having used the term Islamic rather than Islamist:
“He’s just an exhausted guy,” said the official, who briefed reporters only on the condition of anonymity.
Exhaustion (on the second day of a nine-day trip) is an amusing excuse […]
