    Important words from Humas hubby regarding the election….

    “Anthony Wiener Calls Trump ‘F**kface Von Clownstick’”

    He then celebrated this witticism (as well as continued irrelevance) by sending more dick picks to college girls.

    Ye, sure stunk up the last one. I must be going through another transitional period, another chapter in a boring book. But enough about me.
    Walt, Part 2: Hey, if that is you plinking away, that sure ain’t a 22 I hear. Either you upped your caliber greatly or I hear an old fashioned shoot out going down. Booms are coming from your direction. Practice makes perfect. Nice Rollin’ Thunder I must say.
    Did you hear that guy Bernie endorsed against DNC Debbie in her always unopposed primary race….he got 250k in donations within an hour after Benie threw his support behind the dude…on a Sunday…in one hour. Geeze, what a misgonist The Betn is.

    Strange, very strange. DNC Debbie and Terry A. were co-chairs of My Gal’s 2008 presidential campaign. Both are facing some heat. It’s that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy up to their dirty tricks again. Like, can’t we make the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy die or something like that? They are so mean to Friends of Bill.

    No Bill,, I haven’t brought out the heavy artillery.We heard some good “booms” off in the distance as well. Those flying guns were in the aria again. Scratch one or two pot sheds?
    So More than two volcanoes are having indigestion. I knew Hood and Helen were getting pissed. Maybe Mamma Earth is getting fed up with the ECO nuts of the Northwest. She is about to give them a piece of her mind. ” What? not enough CO2 in the air? I can fix that.”
    Now here is what I just saw today. An ECO buggy was trying to pass a loaded dump truck at the West County line. Just not enough power to get the job done. THEN,, the truck pulled away from that Prius. I wish I had the phone cam up and running. That would have gone viral. The steeper the grade got the worse it looked for the ECO buggy. A fully loaded ten wheeler leaves Prius in the dust,, UP HILL! I could have made big bucks just to take that video down.

    CONCEDE?!?!?! Are they mad? Our gal has no other purpose in this life than to assume the Cherry Blossom Throne…and rule us like a tyrant!

    “Tracy Enid Flick is a fictional character, originating in the 1998 novel Election by Tom Perrotta and portrayed by Reese Witherspoon in the 1999 film adaptation of the same title. Tracy is a smart, ambitious high school student, whose quest to win a school election is nearly derailed by her own ruthlessness and desperation. In both the novel and the film, she is the main antagonist.
    Witherspoon’s performance as Tracy was widely acclaimed by critics and garnered her multiple awards and nominations, including a Golden Globe nod. The character has since become an icon, as her driven, focused personality and unpopularity among her peers have led to comparisons with many real-life public figures, particularly female politicians such as Hillary Clinton.”

    Listened to Obama address the people of Vietnam last night. It was a professorial speech. He was doing fine until once again he had to tell those commies how we Americans are far from perfect. I just don’t understand why he feels compelled to do that. The Vietnam people want to become like us now and he just had to diss our shortcomings.
    I do agree though with him selling our military hardware to them. Time to get back some of the blood and treasure. And they will protect themselves from the Chinese. I recall the Chinese invaded them after the war with us and the Vietnamese kicked their asses back across the border.

    Romney? Mr. Fish posted a great article from Rolling Stone which briefly mentioned Romney. The writer was watching the fall and of the Republician Party Machine Establishment with glee and wonder….to paraphrase, “In the end, it was just The Bushs, Romney, and a few bankers that were the puppet string pullers.”. Ah, the men behind the curtain were few in number and had an outdated playbook.
    Bernie is smoking them out, but where his movement is now is about where the Tea Party was when it was being called AstroTurf out of the gate. Time will tell.
    Character matters. 3 stories about my gal says it all to me. Policy or politics do not matter on this one. I cannot look at my girl with warm fuzzies. It’s a character defect that does not go away without the blinding bolt of lightening of spiritual awakening on the way through the woods to Grandmother’s house.
    A
    3 stories. A) Her valedictorian speech at college. Hint, the approved one she submitted to the college was not the one she read……slamming the commencement speaker, a Republican Senator.
    B). She wanted a swimming pool in the Akansas Governor’s House. Bill replied that they were the 2nd poorest state in the nation and it would look unseemly. Hillary shot back, “Everybody else has one.”
    C): On the NY Senate campaign trail, Hillary and staff went to a small upstate town. There were plaid wearing farmers and other country bumpkins that made up the local population greeting her. Hillary was incredulous, swearing “What in the blank are we doing here? There’s no money here!!!!”
    That is a flaw in her makeup that has gotten bigger over time, not smaller. This is the big roadblock. Sure, all make mistakes and change minds as new info becomes available, politics is an ugly business and all the usual disclaimers. …….but this ingrained lust for property and money and to be adored will continue to be her master and steer her course as President.

    I know you guys don’t like Bernie, but I think this will get your attention since you like Hilliary even less. Chris Matthews has announced – twice – that ALL the MSM plans to announce on June 7th, 8:00pm EST, that Hilliary has wrapped up the nomination three hours before the polls close in CA. It will also be an untrue statement because they are including Super Delegates that cannot cast a vote until the convention. And when do they make calls like this while the polls are open?
    This election process has shown how corrupt the process is – especially on the “Democratic” side. The Republican delegate (Curly?) that said it is an illusion that the people pick their candidate, the party does, was being astonishingly truthful so Trump’s ascendency must be particularly galling to the RNC.
    What a choice!

    Looking at the news the Dems are claiming that others at State used private email so Clinton did nothing out of the ordinary, but the real issue is the others at State did not have a private server with highly classified information on it. Nothing in the report indicates the other users of a private email sent classified documents in their emails. The Dems are trying to cover their ass with everyone did it, but they are not defining the it. It is up to the Republican to define it for the voters.

Good thing the NYT spilled the beans last year anyway.

    New study shows no wildfire increases due to global warming, slight decline in recent decades noted
    “The data available to date do not support a general increase in area burned or in fire severity for many regions of the world. Indeed there is increasing evidence that there is overall less fire in the landscape today than there has been centuries ago, although the magnitude of this reduction still needs to be examined in more detail.”

    By Jove, I think I got it…..maybe. For months Hillary has proclaimed at every opportunity she has instructed her staff to fully cooperate with the security review. She and all her staff refused to cooperate in the Department of State’s security review per today’s multiple articles on the topic. The reason given: priorities. They need to prep for the FBI probe, thus screw that State Department security review.
    Since the FBI does not do security reviews (just criminal investigations), I bet she will not be delighted to be asked questions by the FBI or will she instruct her staff to freely and openly cooperate. The reason: it’s not a security review, so take a hike.
    Did I get close? Am I getting warmer or colder? Clinton speakese seems so simple at the face of it until you try to translate one sentence into English.
