Obama Caves to Republicans Again

So he is going to do what Republicans are demanding, and what, until this week they declared was one of the greatest alleged abuses of his Presidency, and appoint a Czar to oversee the three known cases of Ebola in the country.

There should have been only one answer from him:  The proper person to fill this role is the Surgeon General, and there will be one as soon as Republicans quit playing their sick political games and approve his appointment.  And the Surgeon General will take appropriate action and see to it that we are protected in the future as soon as the Republicans quit playing their sick political games and restore an appropriate level of funding to the National Institutes of Health.

Until then, he should make it clear that Republican "input" about this problem is not welcome.

You knew he would.
You knew he would. A worse-than-useless travel ban to west Africa could be coming.

I want to like the man, but he never learns.

Is it my imagination, or has the Republican Party taken its platform straight out from Marx himself?

Zarathustra, for very good reasons, I am suspicious of anyone who refers to the President with infantile smear terms taken straight from the sewers of the right wing blogosphere.

I'll let your comments remain at this point, but at the present time I have a pretty short fuse for such things.

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
