Trump stinks!
Great God Almighty,
Trump stinks!
Stay upwind, America.
Did I mention that Trump stinks?
He peels the paint off the outhouse with his stink.
Looks like Scrooge McDuck forgot to declare his money bath vault…
Walker Stapleton left blind trust out of his public financial disclosure
And just the other day, I was reading we should have someone like Dubya the businessperson in office, as he knew how to make a business run.
Don't know about you, but overlooking registration of a trust doesn't seem like competent oversight to me. And "forgetting" sizable amounts of assets on a financial disclosure almost makes it sound like he's auditioning to join the Trump Sad!-ministration's inner circle.
Planned Parenthood Hires Union Buster to "Avoid" Employee Union
Over the weekend I posted a link to an article by The Intercept about how Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood was fighting unionization of its workers by Local 105 of the SEIU.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS ASKING DONALD TRUMP’S LABOR BOARD FOR HELP BUSTING ITS COLORADO UNION
Since then I have done a little research – over at the NLRB website. And, what did I find? Planned Parenthood is represented by Fisher & Phillips, LLP, the oldest and largest employer labor law firms in the country. The firm touts its expertise and record at "union avoidance." For those of you unfamiliar with labor euphemisms, this means union busting.
The services of such a nationwide union buster do not come cheap. Planned Parenthood is using the donations that you and I gave them to provide healthcare to women to try and bust the union.
Not one more dime until Planned Parenthood recognizes the union, negotiates with Local 105 in good faith, and reaches a contract with its employees.
I know you are well versed in labor law, James. Are you helping SEIU on this?
I remember years ago helping the newspaper Guild try to organize a local paper famed for it's liberal stance. They hit us with a counter-attack led by attorney Dave Gorsuch, father of the current SCOTUS justice.
I discovered that it was not easy negotiating with liberals. They are only generous with other people's money.
The real victims here are women in need of health services.
Better yet, buy less, consume less, reuse more, and avoid unneccessary packaging and bags whenever possible . . .
Your Recycling Gets Recycled, Right? Maybe, or Maybe Not

. . . be sure to also check that “6 things you’re recycling wrong” link. (Hint: Starbucks, probably ain’t much better for the planet, in terms of recyclability, than McDonalds.)
Starbucks offers $10 million for ideas on a better cup
ABC cancels 'Roseanne' after star's racist Twitter rant
I'm guessing Nutter would pay $100 more than once to watch this and NOT be offended? Just as long as a black guy doesn’t take a knee?
Roseanne Barr has really lost her way. She has gone from being a sharp and iconoclastic social commentator to just being offensive for its own sake. I have sophomore students funnier than she is now.
And she was really funny when she was hanging out in Denver suburbs doing gigs at the old Comedy Store, or in her early years.
Good riddance……….
The proverbial turd in the punch bowl.
Such a nasty woman!
Thoughtful commentary from Thomas L. Friedman of the NYTimes that almost could have been written by Bluecat:
As I've said before, much as I despise The Screaming Yam, impeaching him would not improve the situation. Pence is frighteningly competent at governing but his idea of The Way Things Ought to Be (to steal a phrase from Rushbo) is terrifying. The Handmaid's Tale could become more than a novel under his influence. And it doesn't get any better down the line of succession. They're all either evil or incompetent.
44 Republican congressmen quitting. Fingers crossed, we win the House and stop Trump in his pig sty muddy tracks.
But unless we take the Senate, Trump will go on transforming the federal judiciary into a Fascist National Redoubt. I already sent money to a fund for 10 Democrats running in close races.
FFS. This #ProsperityGospel thingy is getting waaay out of hand…
His family name should tell you all you need to know. Money is green because those grifters pick it before it's ripe.
You can't make this shit up. Even though Sony tried, and got hacked for it.
Tinpot dictator Kim Jong Un is in love with American pop culture. He wants to open a freaking hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a "gesture of goodwill".
Most North Koreans are hungry and can't afford a Wendy's double stack. Glorious Leader may still be trying to nuke Hawaii, and/ or his neighbors, but he's going to by gawd enjoy a nice juicy American burger. And Trump will probably help make that happen and profit from it. It would make great TV.
My desk is getting indented from all the head pounding.
