Dear People – for entertainment and edification I direct your attention to RL Crabb’s blog where I have been having a little tête-à-tête with the landlord, launched by his highly derogatory cartoon of our First Family’s Christmas. Be that dialogue as it may, what I really want to draw your attention to there is one interloper named Chris Peterson who joins in to take me to task in his 600pm. I don’t know what his credentials are, but for sure he knows nothing about me nor my credo. And for sure he understands even less of what we discuss in these pages about world events and public policies. Nevertheless, that does not prevent him from sallying forth with one exquisite and unmoored bloviation. Enjoy.

Just read the responses to your view of the idiot RL Crabb’s latest slam of Trump and family. He truly is a left wingnut. Somehow a drug damaged brain thinks it has some sort of superiority over rational non druggy types. But that is a outcome from extended abuse. Anyway, it looks like RL is re-citing the Nancy Pelosi talking points that the tax reform is the first step to dismantling the freeloader state. Not gonna happen, but that is the alert he is giving us all for next years propaganda of the left.
Honestly, you hit the nail on the head about disrespect. No one did Obama and family and he knows it. He would have been the first to draw a picture captioning “RACIST” and we know that is what kept anyone from making fun of Obabma. I bet he can’t produce one parody or satire he did on Obama and his family.

How did Bill Maher put it?
“This is different. I promise it, this will not make your life better. And also, once fascists get power, they don’t give it up. You’ve got President Trump for life,” he said.
Maher admitted to being too harsh in criticizing Republican candidates before Trump, acknowledging that they wouldn’t have been the “end of the world.”
“I know liberals made a big mistake because we attacked your boy [George W.] Bush like he was the end of the world, and he wasn’t,” he said. “And Mitt Romney we attacked that way. I gave Obama a million dollars because I was so afraid of Mitt Romney.”
Maher said neither Romney nor Sen. John McCain would have “changed my life that much” if they’d defeated President Obama.
“They were honorable men who we disagreed with and we should have kept it that way,” he said. “So we cried wolf and that was wrong. But this is real. This is going to be way different.”
I’m expecting Trump, who is devolving executive power more than building it, is not going to be the second coming of Hitler or Stalin.

If one is a celebrity, then they take it was a green light to let their fingers do the talking. Hey, I am a celebrity so ramming my tongue down your throat is ok, because I am a celebrity. Trump was merely relating to Billy Bush what was common knowledge throughout the industry. Trump left that club, I left that industry and I witnessed a heck of a lot more than what some of these allegations against celebrities consist of…by actors, directors, producers. And yes, I have seen women throw themselves at stars and the movers and shakers to get closer to fame and fortune, a foot in the door if you will.
And it’s not just in some far distant place like LaLa Land or DC. I have a young female relative that attended an event at the Mine’s Foundry (or Center for the Arts), but memory says it was indeed the Miner’s Foundry in Nevada City, CA, 95959. The event was featuring a famous female comedian I never heard of, but apparently is quite well known. The warm up act was a male comedian. During the break, my relative went outside and saw the warm up act male standing against the building having a smoke. She told him she thought he was funny and really enjoyed his performance. The comedian then suddenly grabbed her, pulled her close, and ran his tongue down her throat while groping her. She was so upset she could not sit through the main event or the rest of the warm up act and was afraid to tell her boyfriend out of fear he would jump on stage and beat our beloved comedian to a bloody pulp. She had to come up with an excuse to leave the show, much to the disaapoinval of her unaware friends.
Oh course she waited till the next morning to tell Biker Bill. She knew what Bilker Bill would have done. That relative is one of Biker Bill’s daughters. Fuck you Miner’s Foundry for sweeping it under the carpet. And you granola heads and fat slobs call Biker Bill a misogynist? Go pound sand, libholes.

The walls are closing in. I’m sure Mueller has direct testimony on this from Flynn the Flipper
“Democrats on the House oversight committee said in a letter dated Wednesday that the whistleblower reported attending an inauguration day event with Flynn’s former business associate Alex Copson, the managing partner of ACU Strategic Partners.
The whistleblower said Copson gushed that Trump’s inauguration was “the best day of my life” because it meant his company’s effort to create a U.S.-Russia energy partnership in the Middle East, which reportedly would have included more than two dozen nuclear plants in the region, was moving forward. Copson said Flynn was making sure Obama-era sanctions, which he claimed threatened the nuclear project, would be “ripped up,” according to the whistleblower.”

It was because the entire Intelligence community concluded that the Russians had been interfering in our elections and Obama instilled sanctions that the Russians opposed and were using as leverage to prevent the deal that Flynn and his former partner had been working on.
