[The NCAA now allows transgender females to compete in women's track events, and soon other sports.  The big concern that needs to be addressed is not that the transgenders are setting new records for women, but that this makes no never mind to the officials now fashioning this new sports world, “Focusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant because this is a rights issue. We shouldn’t be worried about trans people taking over the Olympics. We should be worried about their fairness and human rights instead.” (more here)  gjr]

    But of course he isn’t a liar – apparently everybody who jumps SS Trump is a liar- but not dear leader. You guys make a point of making your selves look like fools.

    Do you consider Trump a liar and while we’re at remind our readers why Clinton was impeached.
    This will refresh you:
    ” Mr. President, did you know about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels?
    THE PRESIDENT: No. No. What else?
    Q Then why did Michael Cohen make those if there was no truth to her allegations?
    THE PRESIDENT: Well, you’ll have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney. And you’ll have to ask Michael Cohen.
    Q Do you know where he got the money to make that payment?
    THE PRESIDENT: No, I don’t know. No.

    “Scott! I had two gophers in a dugout tree root, shooting class 4 rapids down the hill, and through my backyard. I swear I heard it yell “BANZAI !” as they paddled past.”
    Nature is cool. What a great sight to see.

    Cohen:
    I listened to a few minutes and thought, “So, tell me something new.” Of course, the top of the list was Trump is a racist. Make sure to make that number one, the first thing out of his mouth, lol
    Yep, the 2020 election cycle has begun. Trump is a racist. Told ya the Dems are scared shitless that Trump’s numbers with blacks and the Latinos are rising. “Ok, Cohen, here is the plan. Get out there and make sure the first thing you say is Trump is a racist. The rest is just fluff and allegations. Trump wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills? Heaven forbid. Man, after Meuller and his expert criminal financial fraud team has spent two years pouring over all records and e-mails and phone calls, Cohen presents two newspaper clippings. Oh, I am bored already. Trump has an ego!
    The second thing that hit me was how many network shows will not have Clinton fixer Lanny Davis (and crisis management guru) on their programs anymore. Lanny has proven himself to be a very untrustworthy guest, to say the least. And this is well before today. Remember that last time he was with Cohen full of insinuations and innuendos and bold face lies. They had to walk it back….everything Lanny said after running with the last story for 2 days. “Oh, that is just Lanny,” lol. Or was it 5 days? Either way, it was less that the 2 weeks of “All Smollett All The Time” until some inconvenient truths came out.
    Trump paid Stormy Daniels! Guess this will be the news 24/7 for a couple of weeks.
    I got bored and switched to clips from the networks looking for anything to do with Russia, Russia, Russia, Did find a reference to Moscow. Get this. ABC has this hair on fire esteemed lady talking about shell companies from Moscow to South America….Panama to be more precise. South American country named Panama, ROFLMAO. Panama is a South American country. Learn something new everyday. Panama is in South America. Too funny. And these people think they are so smart and give themselves awards for being such great journalists. Yo, ABC, check out a map. Panama is in South America. That one made my day.
    I am surprised how much traction the girls athletes with dicks is getting. Like, those stories have been out there for at least a year or two and always disappear with some spokesperson from the LGB&Tranny Groups slamming the discussions and shutting it down. Guess it took a name like Martina Navratilova to really open that can of worms when she was said perhaps girls with dicks have an advantage in women’s professional tennis and the tranny babies went nuts, pun intended.
    When you throw science out the window, it opens the door for these kind of things. Girls with dongs are women too! And you don’t need to have a uterus to be a female. It’s the consensus that matters, not the facts. Sort of like this Cohen thang. It’s the media’s concensus that matters! Right.

    So listening to todays hearing it’s obvious that the Republicans offer no defense of Trump and are limited to going after the integrity of Cohen as their last resort.

    Sometimes I forget that whining is the only exercise you get.
    Why would the GOPe defend Trump Punch? They’re as anxious as you to run him out of DC! They so they can get back to plundering the treasury as “democrats lite”, you because under that wrinkled exterior beats the heart of a 13 year old girl!

    This a LIB smear job. Bottom line.
    “President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen admitted Wednesday he is unable to corroborate allegations that the president discussed elements of WikiLeaks’ email hacks with Roger Stone.
    “How can we corroborate what you’re saying?” Democratic Rep. Deborah Wasserman Schultz of Florida asked Cohen, referring to the former Trump confidant’s allegations that the president was aware of Stone’s contact with WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange.
    She is among a slew of Democrats and Republicans grilling Cohen during a congressional hearing.
    “I don’t know, but I suspect the special counsel’s office and other government agencies have the information that you’re seeking,” Cohen said in reply.”
    So none of this testimony can be proven… Then why the hell is it going on?

    Del. Mary Ann Lisanti, who is white, was approached by the caucus regarding her alleged remarks Monday night, after news broke that Lisanti had said the racial slur at a cigar bar in Annapolis, Maryland, while speaking to a colleague, who was also white, after work late one night.”
    But this will make it ALLLLLL better.
    “I don’t recall much of that evening,” Lisanti said to The Washington Post. She was also asked if she had ever used the racial slur before. “I’m sure I have. … I’m sure everyone has used it. I’ve used the f-word. I used the Lord’s name in vain,” she said.”

    Do like the Kabuki theatre. It’s so mesmerizing. Even includes the obligatory Holocast reference by Cohen. This is getting good. News at 11.
    Quotes for yesterday’s moment under the sun.
    For the record: “It’s not realistic to think that people will simply stop using fertilizer, running cargo ships, building offices, or flying airplanes. Nor is it fair to ask developing countries to curtail their growth for the sake of everyone else.” —Bill Gates on the $93 trillion Green New Deal
    Non Compos Mentis: “Republican politicians just tried (and failed) again to score political points at the expense of women. Enough. Women and their doctors should decide what’s best for their health — not the @SenateGOP.” —Elizabeth Warren (“Explain what women’s health has to do with protecting an ALREADY-BORN CHILD.” —Ben Shapiro*)
    Grim reaper: “As a mother to a one-year-old, I am disgusted by [Donald Trump’s] lies that aim to stoke fear and division. I know his true intention: to shame women, limit our access to health care, and take away our rights.” —Planned Parenthood president Leana Wen slamming the president for saying of the Senate’s failed measure blocking infanticide, “If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.”
    The BIG Lie: “There is no such thing as abortion until or after birth. Trump’s position on abortion is so extreme that he lies to the American public to incite fear & violence against women making personal decisions & abortion providers trying to provide their patients the best care possible.” —Planned Parenthood Action
    The BIG Lie II: “This is not necessarily the top country if you’re going to be born poor to get out. And that’s actually an assault on the very idea of the American dream.” —Cory Booker
    Is there anything it can’t do? “A $15 minimum wage is an antidepressant. It is a sleep aid. A diet. A stress reliever. It is a contraceptive, preventing teenage pregnancy. It prevents premature death. It shields children from neglect.” —New York Times magazine’s Matthew Desmond
    Braying Jenny: “I don’t recall [using that slur]. … I don’t recall much of that evening. … I’m sure I have [used that slur]. … I’m sure everyone has used it.” —Maryland Del. Mary Ann Lisanti (D) apologizing for allegedly telling a colleague he was in a “n—er district”
    Braying Jenny II: “I’ve been struck a couple times by the denial of humanity of many of these families and children. When the issue is framed as an invasion by aliens and when we refer to children as UACs [unaccompanied alien children], it’s easier to pretend that they’re not human and worthy of compassion. … Just following orders is no more an excuse today than it was back in Germany.” —Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) on Border Patrol agents
    Race bait: “When you talk about him calling African countries s—thole countries; when you talk about him referring to immigrants as rapists and murderers — I don’t think you can reach any other conclusion.” —Kamala Harris insisting that Donald Trump is a racist
    And last… “The only response to any Democrat argument from now on should be: ‘You support the murder of infants.’ That point undermines everything they say and every position they take. It means they cannot be taken seriously on any topic, at all, ever again.” —Matt Walsh
    ——————————————
    Bonus:
    “The only thing I would ask is if this is such a popular thing to do and so necessary, why would one want to dodge the vote. This is an opportunity to go on record. ….It’s a debate we’ll have in all likelihood sometime before the August break,” Mitch McConnell upon reading most Dem Senators will vote “Present” when the Green New Deal resolution is brought to a vote.
    What about the 41 million cows? “Bring it on. You think it might embarrass Democrats to vote on a nonbinding resolution that some of us may support but not others, Trust me, we’ll be fine because the American people know that our entire party actually believes that climate change is happening and it’s caused by humans.” Chuck Schumer.
