     Nothing quite says "Jackass" like selling gold sneakers for $400 a pop the day after you're hit with a $450,000,000 fine for fraud.

     So, the fat man got hit with a $364 million judgment plus he's barred from being an officer of a company in NY until he's 80.

     By comparing Trump to Navalny, Lee Zeldin gives us yet another reason to be grateful that he's no longer in Congress.

    Trump is, statistically, at the end of his life span. The fact this asshole is still shaping world events and scaring entire alliances compels me to conclude that the only thing keeping him alive and "relevant" is some bored and cruel Higher Being that has nothing else to do with its time. Looking at it from that perspective, Trump is, in a cosmic sense, the ultimate catfish.

    Oh, testify sister! I could see the rank hypocrisy from the outset. And the stink got the most rank when the white judge told the black woman to essentially not to get too uppity when addressing the white woman.

    Now just wait for these right wing button men to claim this is all part of "the deep state cracking down on conservative voices." Wait for it, wait for it...

    This neither shocks nor surprises me because all these the principles in this sorry shit show are all grifters, liars and con artists. When are we finally going to reach that tipping point where we can finally write off these people on general principle?

    "When you throw out the word ‘racism,’ do me a favor. Have more evidence before you do it, so it can’t be dismissed via plausible deniability or something else."

     You're defending a woman who got fired for defending blackface. For good measure, she kept insisting Santa and Jesus were white. How's that for evidence, stupid? (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC_

     There is no God and if there is then He's a shareholder.

     See you March 25th, asshole.

     Ladies and gentlemen, Congresswoman I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own.

     She has her uncle pegged and she doesn't need to be a clinical psychologist for that insight. People have called Trump a complex man but he's really not. He's wearisomely predictable and, after all these years of being in the political spotlight, many of us have him pegged as well as Mary Trump. But she's right on the money when she says that money and the illusion of his success are all that matters to him. He's a fraud and he may or may not know it or acknowledge that failing to himself. But at the center of his being, where most people have a soul, is a giant sucking need that no amount of lies, boasts or adulation could ever hope to fill. Trump is a humanoid-shaped black hole constantly in search of validation.

     This is the fatal victim of yesterday's mass shooting at the KC Chief's rally yesterday.

     Happy Valentine's Day. You're under arrest.

     Another Republican profile in courage. And finally...

     Oh Christ, this assclown again?
