I can imagine one of those M-1s has COVFEVE! painted on the turret, or maybe the tube.

The sabot rounds.

As Wonkette reveals, the guy paying the women to lie is Jack Burkman.

There is a tweet for everything! I can't stop laughing:

Jack Burkman
@Jack_Burkman

The Roy Moore saga looks a lot like Salem 1692: Is Goodie Proctor a witch? I can produce 3 women to say anything bout anybody. Is that where we are?

This tweet is located directly below one of his tweets regarding the Seth Rich conspiracy theory bullshit he also created.

The above tweet along with Jack's newer tweet containing an admission that the woman is fictional -- you can't make this shit up, but Jack tries so hard -- have been archived for posterity.

It takes a special kind of stupid to provide evidence against yourself to the FBI, but we are dealing with GOP sycophants after all. Sheesh! *shakes head*

The place is going to be crawling with JAG lawyers. They'd be all paperwork and wanting to scan your ID.

Texas has a army or militia or, in any case a bunch of white guys with sun glasses. They were deployed during Jade Helm to make sure it wasn't the coup it looked it was going to be.

Maybe you can sell your tank to those guys.

Paula is right to provide a deep, weedy description of what's underneath one of this week's moronic acts of desperate scatter-shot.

In that spirit, here's reporting on the presser of the General whose troops are going to the Rio Grande or the Sonoran Desert for Thanksgiving dinner in their mess tents.

I can imagine one of those M-1s has COVFEVE! painted on the turret, or maybe the tube.

He got Mattis to deploy troops into a tight Posse Comitatus box. The Commander of Army Northern Command officially announced the task list, and none of the jobs require guns.

But my tank is fired up and ready to go, and we have directions to the border of Texassssss! ;)

Oh, goodness... another Trump felony... bribing women to besmirch the character of Robert Swan Mueller III. Big mistake. Huge mistake. Gargantuan mistake and reprehensible.

Fire up the next grand jury. It's nearing Roger Stone's time in the barrel... Mueller Time! Cheers and bottoms up. :)

Yes, that's it. Like we discussed earlier, they knew and lied and more shoes to drop... exactly. Had Manafort gone to trial versus flipping and copping a guilty plea to every single charge in Mueller's indictments, some of those shoes would have been wedged into his backside, and he knew it.

if they don't like him in pittsburgh, maybe he'll rethink paris.

You misspelled "pies." Maybe he'll rethink pies! ;)

if they don't like him in pittsburgh, maybe he'll rethink paris.

Paula: But that story will spend the day competing with the "no one in Pittsburgh wants Tiny to come and no one will go with him" story.

I heard he was being accompanied by his anchor baby daughter and taking his immigrant wife... not the first one, the current one -- the one who worked illegally in this country on only a "do as we say not as we do" tourist visa. Perhaps she could convince the two chain migration in-laws to "go with."

Hmmmmmmm. Do any of those Trumps have two parents born in America and are therefore not the direct spawn of an immigrant?

Donald a.k.a. "Tiny"...…...….. one
Melania a.k.a. "Melanie"....... zero
Ivana Marie a.k.a. "Ivanka"... one
Donald a.k.a. "Junior"...…..... one
Eric a.k.a. "the stupid one".... one
Barron...…………………….…….. one
Tiffany...……………..….………... two... wait, what!

Okay, Tiffany can stay, but the rest of them are going to have to go... Daddy's amending the Constitution via Executive Order. *laughs* Idiot.

Why just the army? How about sending a carrier battle group? Some B2 bombers and any F-22s that survived the hurricane!

Tanks, dang it -- M1's, the really big guns
Gunner, sabot, tank, identify, up, fire!

Let's not go in underarmed....or half-cocked. Let us march south towards Mexico fully and bigly cocked.

Bigly cocked, sir!? Well, okay then. I know the way: Straight through Texasssssss.

Some of the the deperados heading north have.....uhhh....stuff.

Bad stuff, catchy stuff... uhhh… super con-traindicated and con-tagious stuffy stuff.

Remember that guy who died in Texasssssss from Ebola and the righties flipping out and using it to scare their gullible sycophants and blaming Obama for sending the Army to help eradicate it while they freaked out and blamed Obama and accused him of putting the Army in harm's way because there was an outbreak of Ebola they were sent to eradicate? Then after the midterms you didn't hear much about Ebola again... because fearmongering no longer required and/or necessary. Yes, sir. I remember it well because I was at ground zero.

Fast forward four years and several scares ago, and this time they're still fearmongering and still sending in the Army... except for no real reason like Ebola... and no one is talking about the president putting the Army in harm's way of catchy stuff and disease like last time because fake and fabricated bullshit and the cult of gullible personality that isn't able to put two plus two together and see how they're being played for morons... again and again ad nauseam.

Sarcasm switch off. Kick, it arrive yesterday from Amazon, free 2 day shipping. Plugs right into a USB port.

Oh, very nice, sir... very nice.
* What color is yours?
* How bigly is it?
* Does it glow in the dark? ;)

Maybe he's running for Attorney General. What if he's a double agent? I mean, he wants the job because he will take the S.C. investigation back up to him, and can protect it when the time comes.

I don't know if he believes in karma, or if he believes in heaven. But if he does either way, he wouldn't want to do anything that would cause him to earn John McCain's wrath.

He got Mattis to deploy troops into a tight Posse Comitatus box. The Commander of Army Northern Command officially announced the task list, and none of the jobs require guns.

Trump is an uninvited guest at funerals of victims who (this is Gillum's line) may not think Trump is a racist, but it's certain that racists think he's a racist.

Today, as John M and Paula note above, he told Axios that he's going to personally override the 14th's "All persons born ... in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States..."

Today, as Paula reported, it appears some indiscreet oppo klutzes are being busted for trying to frame Mueller.

I'm not sure the last one is going to be hung on Trump, but certainly with the others, he is doing this all for himself, first and foremost.

There aren't any more votes for Republican candidates to be mined out of this all-in for white-brown fear issues. He told us last week: he's a nationalist. Trump's not a Republican; he never was.

We are like beachcombers. We walk the shore, wondering what the tide will bring tomorrow.

My guess is this October surprise will fall with a whimpering thud. It's stupid. It's a solution in search of a problem. The caravan-scare is idiotic and offensive.

Could you stomach a politician who thought you were that stupid!? Rhetorical question, of course.

Yes, America's morons may be cowering in fear of the leprosy-stricken-caravan, or ginned up in hostility, but I think America's sane people see this as a dumb and obvious stunt.

But, but, but... smallpox! ;)

The sycophants who believe -- with no evidence whatsoever -- that Hillary Clinton ran a pedophile ring out of the nonexistent basement of a pizza joint in DC are positive, I tell you, positive -- with a myriad of evidence proving exactly the opposite -- that the Trump Trash arrested for the attempted assassination of multiple Democrats is simply a "false flag."

A con artist like Trump knows gullible when he see's it, and if you're going to run a scam, you find and exploit the stupid... who aren't aware that smallpox was eradicated in the 1980s... because science!

An alleged scheme to pay off women to fabricate sexual-assault allegations against Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been referred to the FBI for further investigation, a spokesman for the special counsel’s office told The Atlantic. “When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation,” the spokesman, Peter Carr, told me in an email on Tuesday.

It appears to be a pretty obvious hit-job.

FB, Twitter, Instagram etc. are all struggling with how to deal with the onslaught of misinformation & disinformation emanating from multiple places. They make more money by allowing anyone to say anything but, under fire, are having to police their platform's activity. Naturally, since most of the junk comes from the right, Tiny and conservative media scream about being "censored".

Hope Paula sees it since we've discussed this Facebook issue a few times and how it had legs and still more shoes to drop.

I'll report back after I see it. Be back later. :)

Anybody else watching the PBS Frontline documentary about what's wrong with Facebook?

I taped it yesterday to watch later. Anyone interested can read this story in the Washington Post and watch an excerpt there:

But that story will spend the day competing with the "no one in Pittsburgh wants Tiny to come and no one will go with him" story.

Sigh.

Blah, blah, blah.

"My guess is this October surprise will fall with a whimpering thud. It's stupid. It's a solution in search of a problem. The caravan-scare is idiotic and offensive."

Trump isn't done yet. His latest move is to end birthright citizenship through an executive order. I guess someone has convinced him that a constitutional fight before the Supreme Court over it would be great optics.

"Why just the army? How about sending a carrier battle group? Some B2 bombers and any F-22s that survived the hurricane! Let's not go in underarmed....or half-cocked. Let us march south towards Mexico fully and bigly cocked. Some of the the deperados heading north have.....uhhh....stuff."

Ann Coulter already suggested the U.S. invade Mexico on Laura Ingraham's FOX show a couple days ago to stop them.

80% of americans like pie, yet politicians and the media are so focused on canned responses involving whipped cream that they neglect to inform registered voters about their option to cast a vote for pie. if only 10% of hungry non-voters wrote in pie, or brought pie to the voting booth so that others could see the crumbs, it could cause a groundswell of voting to bring pie into every household. then the hungry 20% would flock to the booths and candidates would have no choice but to support pie or lose votes.

yet every time i bring this up, you 'let them eat cake' dems come up with the same canned whipped cream responses. are we really going down the hungry road yet again just because no one will admit the emperor is wearing a whipped cream bikini?

JL

Sacasm on...

which Trump thinks is a form of semi-effective birth control. The troops will be in a support role. Hurry up and waiter. Never in the course of history have so many over supported so few.

This is not an Oct. Surprise. It is an October What the Fuck?!! More than one soldier will mutter that. ...even if the weather is nice. John Oliver must be beaming.

It won't deflect from the horror of the Pittsburgh slaughter or the bomb scares. And, as you speculated, it may encourage greater Latino turnout. It MAY encourage more Suburban GOP women to vote blue - these are women already disgusted with Tiny who may use this as one-more-reason, and maybe tell their friends! It is NOT going to discourage other Dems.
