Tom Cotton Proves Brett Kavanaugh Lied Under Oath

October 12, 2018 B. John 415 Views 0 Comments Brett Kavanaugh, Hugh Hewitt, lie, Lying, Oath, Perjury, SCOTUS, Tom Cotton

I’d like to thank Tom Cotton for unequivocally establishing that Brett Kavanaugh committed perjury during testimony for his nomination to the United States Supreme Court. Kavanaugh, as you recall, famously and loudly claimed the charges against him were part of Clinton Conspiracy to discredit him. Tom Cotton has cleared the air and told Hugh Hewitt it was all Chuck Schumer’s doing with a cast of characters not related to the Clintons. So our thanks to Cotton for establishing that Kavanaugh lied under oath during his confirmation hearing.

Sen. Susan Collins – Douche Bag of the Day

October 11, 2018 B. John 526 Views 0 Comments Brett Kavanaugh, Judicial Crisis Network, Susan Collins Carrie Severino

Senator Collins (R-Maine) is the recipient of today’s Douche Bag of the day award. You might think it is because of her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, but I think this might be more “deplorable” and is a classic Republican move. Now she’s turned around and got a quid-pro-quo exactly for voting to confirm Kavanaugh. Judicial Crisis Network, the “dark money” group that spent millions promoting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation effort, announced a new “six-figure TV and digital ad campaign” Tuesday in support of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who voted for Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Donald Trump-Douche Bag of the Day

Well, it is generally such an easy and obvious award to make, I’ve tried to avoid making it. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, it is just too easy. But there were two things recently. The main one being a meeting in the Oval Office in which he starts claiming there are thousands of people already lining for a Dear Leader rally in Pennsylvania, so it would be unfair to cancel that due to a major natural disaster unfolding in the United States.

Well, the time is upon us, so I just as well start blogging about the election. It will come as no surprise that I’m recommending you vote for Andrew Gillium for Governor of Florida. Not only is Mayor Gillium the right choice for Florida right now, but Ron DeSantis is also exactly the wrong choice.

Senator McCain – Hardly the Lion

August 27, 2018October 3, 2018 B. John 436 Views 0 Comments Donald Trump, John McCain, right wing, senate, Vietnam, War

This is tough to write, as I’m struggling a bit with my feelings concerning Senator John McCain. McCain is being lionized by the media and political pundit class. While I respect his service and many of his accomplishments, he was hardly the maverick he fancied himself, and leaves a mixed political legacy, and ironically, much of the blame for the ascendency of Donald Trump.

Diane, for becoming yet another of the NRA stooges and blaming gun violence in schools on anything and everything but guns, we’re going to let you have a Douche-bag of the day award. It’s available on the shelf when you walk into the grocery store. You’ll have to reach up to get it, but it’s right there.

Eric Hargan – Kids Aren’t Lost, Just Not Answering the Phone

There was a lot of competition for Douche-bag of the day today, what with Roseanne’s tweet-storm and all, but I’ve elected to award it to Trump’s Health and Human Services Deputy Director Eric Hargan. You may know that the Trump administration has been merrily stripping immigrant children from their parents, and HHS has lost track of about 1,500 of them. Shame on everyone at HHS, but our friend Eric decided to go out and “splain” it all away.

U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) told a group of Realtors it should be OK for homeowners to refuse to sell their property to gays and lesbians. “Every homeowner should be able to make a decision not to sell their home to someone (if) they don’t agree with their lifestyle,” Rohrabacher told an Orange County Association of Realtor’s delegation at a May 16 meeting.

Letter to Publix CEO Re Adam Putnam

Florida headquartered Publix Super Markets, has contributed nearly $670k to Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam ($250K of the recently), now the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Tampa Bay Times has recently published an article calling this to the attention of everyone, and Publix’s has been in damage control ever since, issuing the typical PR-written, Lawyer-approved bullshit form letter. I’ve written my own letter in response to the form letter I’ve seen posted all over social media. Let’s see if Publix gets the message.

I didn’t bother to check I am so certain this won’t be Graham’s first Douchey. This time it is for his comment that Donald Trump’s affairs (and I presume many other sins) are personal, not public, so they don’t matter. The nation’s so-called moral guardians, Evangelical Fundamentalists, gave Trump a “mulligan” for it as long as he gives them what they want on culture-war issues, and Graham is leading the way.

Well, Senator Fitzgerald came to our attention when he was mentioned in an article about yesterday’s Douche Bag of the Day winner. Fitzgerald went on an all too common rant on the Kansas Senate Floor about the “Gay Agenda,” as his argument for a bill allowing funding to adoption agencies that object to placing children with LGBT couples.
