    1. Vote Away

      -0-

      Day after day I’m more confused

      Under Trump we always lose

      Hillary once gave us hope

      Now we bow before a dope.

      Oh, give me the nose plug and free my soul.

      Donald Trump's stinking takes its toll.

      So flee upwind.

      Oh, give me Febreze and Irish Spring

      Trumpstink is an awful thing

      And so is Pence.

      It’s beginning to look just like a crime.

      How Trump went dancing to Putin’s tune.

      Now we’re praying for Mueller time.

      To put an end, to this stinking goon!

      Oh, give me the nose plug and free my soul

      Donald Trump’s stinking takes its toll

      Canvas precincts.

      Oh, give me Febreze and Irish Spring

      And pray our women will end this thing.

      And vote them out.

      Oh, give me Febreze and Irish Spring

      And pray our women will end this thing.

      Vote Democrat!

    1. Mr. Avenatti has impressed me as a bit of a grandstander. However, he always seems to have relevant and pertinent facts to back up his mouth, which I would guess drives the far right wing snowflakes crazy.

  3. After the outburst of laughter at the UN this morning as Twitler was grandstanding, this 2014 tweet came to mind. There really is a tweet for every occasion. 

    1. MichaelBowman —

      I'm betting Trump is calling for a list of those who laughed and which ones started it. He needs a list of who else to "redirect" foreign aid from. Or impose tariffs on. Or something so he can show them they shouldn't be mean to him.

  4. From the Yale roommate who knew the real Brett Kavanaugh

     

        1. Speaking of minds twisted by right-wing phony-baloney "news" sources:

          There were very large differences in measured bias across the various news sources people regularly consume. Those who turn to Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart and Fox News tend to generate the most biased ratings of news content. Rush Limbaugh listeners demonstrated large rating bias in 52 percent of news content rated, and it was 50 percent for Breitbart readers. Fox News watchers showed large bias 45 percent of the time.

      2. Which accuser?

        Somehow, I'm betting that Holton-Arms, an independent college-preparatory school for girls, doesn't have yearbook pages boasting of keg parties, sexual acts, or coordinated derogatory references to dating someone from a different school.

        And I don't even know which high school yearbook includes Debbie Ramirez, but again, I'm betting she doesn't list any expensive blow-out parties that rent a beach house for a week.

  6. Trump needs to see if he can borrow some Viagra from Rush Limpbaugh's stash.  Looks like he has an acute case of impotence

    Unable to make either Mexico or Congress pay for his promised border wall, President Donald Trump is on track to renege on his first and most prominent campaign promise yet again.

    The House is scheduled to vote on a temporary government spending bill Wednesday that provides not so much as a dime for the wall ― and prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from starting one. The Senate already passed the bill 85-7, and Trump will have until Sunday to sign it to keep most federal government agencies from having to shut down at midnight.

    “What part of ‘no wall’ are you having trouble understanding?” laughed Rick Wilson, a Republican consultant and a Trump critic since the start of his presidential candidacy in 2015. “It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Trump lied about this. He lies about everything. There was never going to be a wall.”

    Of course, there is also the chance that Trump will welcome the distraction of a government shutdown to distract from the Kavanaugh confirmation circus, which of course Trump needs to distract from the Rosenstein 25th amendment story, and impending firing, which will get buried once he tries yet again to shutdown the Mueller investigation, all the while ignoring the world having a laugh at Trump's expense.

    Man, all this winning must have exhausted Nutter.  He's been awfully quiet devil

    3. Uh oh, Trump's not the only one that needs a Limpbaugh "Pick me up"

      “It’s just not strong enough, it’s just not sustained enough.”

      —David Flaherty, a prominent Republican pollster in Colorado, on the Republican effort to elect Walker Stapleton in the governor's race.

    2. The link is back up and functional … the article now begins:

      Democratic nominee for governor Jared Polis was never charged in a nearly 20-year-old Boulder police report that was posted online by a conservative media outlet on Tuesday.

      The article included a copy of the report from a 1999 alleged abuse incident and subsequent temporary restraining order involving Polis and his former secretary, Patricia Hughes, who died in 2014.

      The report was quickly shared among conservative political organizations.

      And the news organization provides an explanation at the end that says:

      Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story contained details from the police report. After speaking with the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday evening, the article was revised to provide context, include what charges were actually filed in the case, and the outcome.

       

  8. Hey Nutter — Stay tuned tonight to CBS4!  It's still not too late for your girlfriend, Taller Coffman to jump in and save the day!

    STAPLETON'S BLIND TRUST FACES NEW SCRUTINY

    CBS4's Shaun Boyd will air a story at 6 p.m. Tuesday that political watchers can't miss. The story looks into Republican Walker Stapleton's finances and his blind trust — and finds a number of problems.

    • The big line: "As state treasurer, Walker Stapleton is the chief financial officer for Colorado — the last guy you'd think would have mistakes on a financial disclosure form. But he did, and it's raised lots of questions."
