Jeb!

He's running for President, and he can't even mention his last name.  You've got to love it.

He can't even mention his first name. JEB is his initials. His real name is John Ellis Bush. Far too aristocratic-sounding. If he's the nominee, though, we should use it at every opportunity, especially after how often they've used President Obama's full name to emphasize the "Hussein" part.

Let's see. If I am not mistaken, the first Bush had one war. The second Bush had two wars. Does that mean that the third Bush will have three wars?

Bush -- the war family! We kill your kids.

The exclamation point, though! Ugh, amateur hour. Looks like a discount store logo., not a presidential campaign.

Professor Chaos, I'm sad to say that the very bullseye of his demographic target is those who shop at discount stores. The Republicans know well who they are wooing and how to do it.

Frank, it's funny but I agree and disagree with you. The Republican party has certainly shown massive cunning and a willingness to go for the jugular in any political race, but they have also repeatedly engaged in acts of massive stupidity- a good example, Romney's 47% remark, which (though no one could see it at the time) undid all the work of all the political operatives, and set Romney on a skid from which he never recovered. McCain's choice of Sarah Palin to run with him was a similar fatal mistake. In fact, if there is one thing I believe you can count on, it is that the Republicans will manage to make one colossal mistake about every two months. In recent years, these have largely undone whatever progress they have made. So, it's sort of Jekyll and Hyde; or maybe Hyde and dumb Hyde, fighting it out for control. I guess we will just have to wait a while to see who wins, although the Republican bench is so pathetic this time, that it's hard to imagine the brilliant political moves outweighing the stupidity.

Now they have The Donald who wants to run the country like he runs his businesses, bankruptcies and all.

And one of the first things out of his purdy mouth was this: "When did we ever beat Japan at anything?"

Shaw, I didn't hear that remark, but it has to stand as one of the great political utterances of American history.

Trump meant that Japan sells a lot of cars to America but America doesn’t sell many cars back, though he then said that no-one in Japan drives a Chevrolet which is not strictly speaking true.

But the good news is that when President Trump gets done Japanese people will be driving Chevrolets and enjoying American engineering and the Japanese auto industry will collapse.

Which will create millions of Japanese unemployed, so those Chevys better be cheap…

They’ll have to be made right-hand drive too.

But anyhoo… How is America going to make them cheap?
Maybe make them in China? Heaven knows American workers are overpaid and should give their jobs away to people more deserving.

But I'm more excited about the great wall of Mexico that he is going to build to keep Mexicans out of decent American taco stands, which wall he will make Mexico pay for.

With drug money one assumes.

Got to keep the Mexicans down, like the good ole boys did so successfully at the Alamo.
Mexico is a real threat.
They were behind 9/11 and Islamic State is based there - everyone knows that.

God, Salma Hayek in From Dusk to Dawn was the ugliest thing I have seen since Jack Nicholson scratching his balls.

President-in-waiting Trump claims to know a quick method to defeat the Islamic State but doesn’t want to say what it is in case it gets stolen.

If it was stolen it would mean Islamic State would be defeated in quick order and we’d have peace in Iraq (And Mexico!) And Iraqis might misuse their peace and prosperity by buying Toyotas.

But probably Trumps greatest blow for modernity was when he said “I am being proven right about massive vaccinations—the doctors lied.”

Vaccinations are bad. Polio is good.
And the doctors lied . ALL of them.

Hey, maybe we could get the Mexicans to pay for a new Chevrolet for everybody in the U.S. so we wouldn't need jobs. While they are at it they should buy a new Chevrolet for everybody in Japan too, so they could see the superiority of American technology.

Trump will build a 12 ft wall and confiscate all 13 ft ladders worldwide.

Wingnut Wrapup

It's been a while, but it's a little hard to get worked up about what some doofus in St. Louis thinks, when we have a raving lunatic in the White House.  anyway, here we go: Matt Vespa, Town Hall:  "Sorry Liberals, Ellison and DWS Remained Seated During Roughy Two-Minute Standing Ovation Honoring Fallen Navy SEAL's Widow" This is more important than two hundred Republicans in Congress conspiring to cover up treason.  And by the way, it's not true, not that that matters to Republicans. Leah Barkoukis, Town Hall"  "Cruz Defends Sessions Over Russia Report: It's a 'Nothing Burger' Treason: a nothing burger.  A legal lesson from the Republican party. Cal Thomas, Town Hall:  "Trump Reinvents Himself" One speech during which he did not degenerate into a shouting, spittle flecked maniac undoes two years of piggishness and hatred.

The Sovereigns and the Posse Comitatus- a Bit of Shared History

Image
With the recent two incidents involving right wing Christian terrorists in this country*, and the total suppression, as usual, of their political affiliations by the mainstream press, I thought it would be beneficial to take a few minutes to consider briefly the history of these two groups, the Sovereign Citizen movement and the Christian Identity "religion."  This is not a complete story- the Christian Identity movement is an outgrowth of the British Israelite movement, which since the 1870's was based on the absurd claim that Northern Europeans were the real descendants of the Jews in the bible.  Various explanations have been given about where today's Jews came from, some going so far as to claim that Jews (and black people too, of course) are actually not human beings at all, but spawns of an affair which Satan supposedly had with Eve, which is why God ejected Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.  Well, enough of this idiocy, on with the story. First, with Chri...

I Can't Resist

I know it's useless, but I am going to make a remark about the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder of black teenager Trayvon Martin. I told this story some time ago, but it bears repeating.  As an L.A. Dodger fan, I learned that the Dodgers once had a minor league training camp in Sanford, Florida, the home of Zimmerman.  In the 1940's the Dodgers sent the now legendary Jackie Robinson, who would become the first black man to play major league baseball, to this camp: "As Jean West, a school teacher in Florida, wrote, "Branch Rickey had miscalculated the degree to which Jim Crow was entrenched in Sanford...The mayor of Sanford was confronted by what the author describes as a "large group of white residents" who  "demanded that Robinson...be run out of town." The Mayor caved. On March 5th, the Royals were informed that they would not be permitted to take the field as an integrated group. Rickey was concerned for Robinson’s life...
