Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo
Time

The Boy Scouts can’t win for losing. They let girls in and now I see in my paper this morning a commentary that the Girls Scouts are upset and being raided.

“The kindler, gentler, “triggered by a lawsuit” Scouts are forcing us to open up the doors to everyone, for everything. And the message that feminine girls are getting is that they are not good enough if they like crafting over rafting, singing over swinging a bat, cookies over rookies.”

But, but, I thought Trump and the Republicans didn’t like rule by executive order. I thought they thought the President should get things done via the Legislative Branch.

That only applies when a Democrat is on office.

Oh.

Did Silverwook just post a spoiler for a movie with a soon-to-be released remake?

If anything they’ll semi-remake On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, not From Russia with Love.

If they do remake OHMSS, I hope this time Bond and Blofeld don’t act like they’ve never meant before when they did meet in the events of YOLT.

what about Paul Ryan?

If you’re looking for how far down the impeachment chain you have to go to reach someone who’s not actually neck deep in some sort of corruption or another, you’re probably looking at Orrin Hatch. I loathe him, but he’s more-or-less clean.

Right now, I am looking for someone who won’t get us in a nuclear war with N.Korean and perhaps China.

“I HATE EVERYONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!”: TRUMP SEETHES AS ADVISERS FEAR THE PRESIDENT IS “UNRAVELING”

In recent days, I’ve spoken with a half dozen prominent Republicans and Trump advisers, and they all describe a White House in crisis as advisers struggle to contain a president that seems to be increasingly unfocused and consumed by dark moods.

At first it sounded like hyperbole, the escalation of a Twitter war. But now it’s clear that Bob Corker’s remarkable New York Times interview—in which the Republican senator described the White House as “adult day care” and warned Trump could start World War III—was an inflection point in the Trump presidency. It brought into the open what several people close to the president have recently told me in private: that Trump is “unstable,” “losing a step,” and “unraveling.”

Man, thank God we found out about those emails and didn’t elect Hillary Clinton.

25th Amendment Section 4 said:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

The Lyrics are anti social-mobility. Poor people are poor, rich people are rich. Keep your hands off my stuff and none of that redistribution of wealth nonsense.

I will have to take a look at the lyrics.

I’ve just taken a look at the lyrics, I am not so sure it says all of that.

That’s a tasty sounding sandwich. I’ll have to try it someday.

huh?

@LindseyGrahamSC: Really enjoyed a round of golf with President @realDonaldTrump today.

President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!

Not that it matters but

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/10/lindsey-graham-almost-certainly-lied-about-trumps-golfing.html

If Trump runs his golf game like he runs everything else, he has a cadre of forward-guard caddies who drop or move balls to favorable positions, and a rear-guard of caddies whose job is to applaud and praise him. He might honestly think he shot a 73.

When I think of Trump golfing, I think of Goldfinger and Oddjob.

Well, I tend to think of the fact that complained about Obama playing golf instead of doing his job.

No duffer, no duffer. You’re the duffer!

eh?
