Where Do These People Come From?

Ever wonder how a malicious lunatic like Ted Cruz materializes out of seemingly nowhere, and all of a sudden he seems to be pulling the strings of half the members of Congress?

Ted Cruz has a wife.  Her name is Heidi.  She is an executive with Goldman Sachs, and is a former economic policy adviser to the George W. Bush administration, dating back to 2000.

Does it make any more sense now?

Until a wacky billionaire mining magnate / crazed James Bond villain won a seat in the Australian senate recently, the richest parliamentarian in the country had been a former local head of none other than Goldman Sachs.

But a lot of people work for Goldman Sachs, though they do not seem to be other than of the conservative persuasion.

Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta.

I observe that this does not seem to be a political crime on quite the scale of being born in, say…. Honolulu, Hawaii. Which is curious.

As of less than two months ago, Cruz was a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. He means to do something about that - it probably being a bit ambitious at this point to simply annex Canada – as the owners of the Republican party have a broader interest in his future prospects. He’s only in his early 40’s… so I’ll think you’ll be seeing a fair bit of him.

If it calms you at all... Erick Erickson endorsed him. What could be more reassuring than that?

As far as I am concerned, Civil War Part II has just started.

Well, they sure as hell are trying to start it. Given the number of people who turned up in Washington to support them, however, I think it's going to be a pretty short fight.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
