What the hell is a "dotard"?

It's Korean for "covfefe".
She's one bad hombre…believe me.
Does this outfit make my ass look fat?
LOL! I'm in DC tonight. I think I'll drop by the Covfefe Lounge at the Trump Hotel and check out tonight's lineup.
One of the Rocketmanettes?
A person in his dotage?
You obviously haven't been taking enough time with The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Saruman uses it as an insult to the King Theoden. Gandalf uses the term as a denial of weakness to the Lord of Gondor.
I must admit, it is a bit hard to understand how a North Korean translator would grab that word rather than others.
Yeah, well, you know what they say about blind pigs and chubby dictators finding an acorn now and again??? . . .
(. . . still it is somewhat disheartening to learn that Kim has a better command of the English language than our own SodaFounainofJustice.)
Sarah Palin and Sebastian Gorka walked into a train depot in Alabama last night. They traveled there on the "battle bus", which was emblazoned with the sign, "AlabamaDerservesMoore.com". (sic) The "alabamaderservesmoore.com" website goes to the campaign site of Moore's Democratic opponent, Doug Jones. Someone's been busy.
At the train depot, Palin and Moore stirred up a few hundred Moore supporters. They were vigorously backed by Breitbart's returned editor, Steve Bannon.Moore, if you recall, was the judge who was fired for refusing to marry gay couples in Alabama. He has also been a long time mentor for our own Dr. Chaps.
And he is now one of four people running to take Jeff Sessions Senate seat.
Trump is choosing corrupt over crazy; he is supporting Moore's opponent, former AL Attorney General Luther Strange. Trump will travel to Alabama tonight to campaign for Strange, who mysteriously failed to investigate the sex offenses of Governor "Horndog" Bentley. Somehow, Strange was appointed to Jeff Sessions' senate seat. He is now trying to keep that seat, but challenged by disbarred Judge Moore.
Governor Bentleywas caught in a series of Ewwww-inducing sexting with his aide, and was subsequently forced to resign.
Luther Strange is was supposed to be investigating Bentley's behavior, but took no action prior to reporters breaking news about the scandal. Strange also took money from former (now jailed) Speaker Hubbard's PAC.
You may place your bets on this red-on-red showdown at the train depot window, where you may also purchase your popcorn.
Strictly speaking, MJ, Strange Luther was the state A.G., not D.A., but your point is well taken.
He was the prosecutor looking into Horn-Dog's escapades when Horn-Dog just happened to think that Luther was the most qualified person in the Yellow Hammer State to fill the small shoes of its long-time cracker, J. Beauregard Sessions.
I think stopping Strange's investigation of Bentley was part of the reason he was appointed to Sessions' seat, but it was also probably a reward for being such a good little zealot. This case made me sick, but the Bible -thumpers loved Strange for doing it.https://www.splcenter.org/seeking-justice/case…/paul-hard-v-robert-bentley-et-al
Yup, AG not DA. I was in a hurry this am. I'll fix it. Moore is ahead in all the polls, so he'll probably be the Republican nominee.
Democrats think that their nominee Doug Jones will have a good shot at the seat if Moore is the R nominee. Apparently, Trump, Pence, and McConnell think so, too, as they're all campaigning for the "moderate" Strange. (moderate only compared to batshit crazy).
Fox News featured Herr Gorka and Sarah Palin twisting themselves into pretzels explaining how voting for Moore isn't voting against Trump – it's still voting "for the President's agenda". Yep.
If you like red-on-red fighting, you can check out Trumps' Alabama rally for Roy Moore here.
(edited to put the quotes from Trump in separate comment)
Herr Gorka and Sarah Palin twisting themselves into pretzels explaining how voting for Moore isn't voting against Trump – it's still voting "for the President's agenda".
They're just towing the party line put out by Beitbart that there nothing wrong with Trump's agenda. The only problem is it's being held hostage by the moderates (i.e., Mitchell McConnell, Gen. Kelly, Ivanka and Jared) who won't let Trump be Trump.
Roy Moore will help free him to be himself.
Colorado landfills are illegally burying low-level radioactive waste from oil and gas industry, Denver Post learns
It has been going on for a long time. And not just in Colorado….
Trump praised health care in the African country of Nambia, which has zero health care problems because it doesn't happen to exist. It is, however, the word largest producer of covfefe, with 37 percent of the world's proven reserves of whatever covfefe is.
David Leonhardt of the New York Times has a great column today:
So based on that expert consensus analysis, I'm certain that Cory Gardner will be a solid YES vote, because that's what Mitch told him to do.
I don't know if I'm the first to say it, but since this country now has shown an appetite for electing celebrities with absolutely no experience in elected or appointed office the presidency, the Dems should nominate Jimmy Kimmel for president in '20. And for his VEEP – another comedian but one with some political experience – Al Franken.
Kimmel, or perhaps Jon Stewart
Paul Krugman also weighs in on Graham-Cassidy:
Washington Post's Alexandra Petri has a column describing some of my recent life. A light-hearted take on a serious subject.
Sorry I can’t go to your thing. I must call my senator to plead for my life.
I guess there is a new Death Panel — our GOP Senators
The NYTimes on why the dotards in the Senate are taking up trashing the ACA again:
It's all a grift to the GOP.
McCain says no to the latest repeal proposal. It appears doomed. Does it get a floor vote next week? Will Cory and friends vote yes on a cruel, widely vilified bill in order to appease their donors?
I suspect they will work their asses off to try to flip Ru Paul.
To the junior senator from Kentucky, I would say this: Remember how it felt when Bitch McConnell recruited that RINO to try to stop you in the GOP primary in ’10? Remember how humiliating it was being trash by Trump on stage at the presidential debates?
Revenge is a dish best served up cold! Stay the course senator. Some day people will thank you.
Trump's stumping for Luther Strange in Alabammy…and it is indeed strange.
Fox News has a live blog of all of the jaw-dropping Trumpisms rolling from those little pursed lips:
Some gems from the live blog .
September 22, 2017 5:27pm PDT
Trump: The last thing I want to do is get involved in a primary.
5:19 pm September 22, 2017 5:19pm PDT
Trump jokes that the people who work for him who have supported Moore “may not have a job on Monday.”
Such a kidder.
Now he’s asked Chief of Staff John Kelly to join him on stage, but is not letting him speak. Does Kelly have an “off button” for a Trump rampage? A secret batshit signal? What?
5:40 pm We are going to have much wall as we need, Trump says. ( and it has to be see-through – nobody knows why)
5:45 pm Trump says that he would like to see NFL owners have players who disrespect our flag “get that son of a bitch” off the field right away.
And, “Trump: The NFL ratings are down massively.”
September 22, 2017 6:04pm PDT
Trump says the filibuster rule has to be eliminated.
September 22, 2017 6:03pm PDT
Trump says reconciliation is a “trick,” adding that “8 Democrats” run the Senate.
Trump says the Democrats did a rotten job campaigning but did a good job of perpetrating the Russia “hoax.”
Trump says that “no, Russia did not help me.”
6:14 pm. There were people working in the VA, Trump says, who were "sadists." WTF?????
September 22, 2017 6:18pm PDT
Trump says we’re making our communities safe again by going after violent criminals.
September 22, 2017 6:16pm PDT
Trump: I’ve ended the Obama administration’s war on coal and we’re putting our coal miners back to work.
Too many Trump isms to keep listing here.
And another rambling, barely coherent, lying, self-serving rant from our National Embarrassment.
Trump says the filibuster rule has to be eliminated.
That's interesting coming from him while campaigning for Strange (no pun intended). IIRC, there is only one candidate in the AL senate race who wants to abolish the fiibuster – Roy Moore.
Did they end the event by chanting, "Lock her up!"?
No they got that out of the way earlier in the speech. Twice the Yam brought up Hillary, out of the blue and relevant to nothing, and the crowd responded on autopilot. Chilling.
Pavlov's dog can't compete with them.
I think I may have figured out who Zappy's working with. I just wish he'd aim his mouse and keyboard where the rest of the group is.

Sleeping Giants, Color of Change – there are many groups targeting the advertisers on right wing sites. More power to them, says I. Nothing makes a racist's blood run colder than a threat to their advertising dollars.
