A Very Trumpy Christmas

Donald Trump posted a bizarre official Christmas Card on Twitter that frankly looks like it was done with Paint on a Windows 95 computer from Radio Shack. And that's not all - he thinks Americans spent more money on Christmas because he was elected.

Justice Scalia's Inauguration Hat

The hat is a custom-made replica of the hat depicted in Holbein’s famous portrait of St. Thomas More. It was a gift from the St. Thomas More Society of Richmond, Virginia. We presented it to him in November 2010 as a memento of his participation in our 27th annual Red Mass and dinner.

Was Scalia, a Catholic who often speaks about his how faith frames his worldview, subtly stating his defiance of political authority, making an argument about religious freedom today, or was his head just really cold?
~ Elizabeth Tenety on Washington Post



That's the same hat Spanky wore from the, "Our Gang" series.

NO ONE EXPECTS the Scalia Inquisition!
(But considering his record, they probably should.)

Auditioning for a 3 Stooges remake?

As for Anthony Scalia not removing his hat I think it's Disrespectful/Rude . The hat if you can call it a hat, looks like a Matador's hat that got crushed by a Bull or somebody pulled the ears off a Mickey Mouse Cap.

Norquist Makes Weird Statements on C-Span ~ Updated with More Snark

Photobucket


From Raw Story
“Obama will be on a very short leash, fiscally speaking, over the next four years,” Norquist told C-SPAN on Thursday. “He’s not gonna have any fun at all.”

“He may decide to go blow up small countries he can’t pronounce because it won’t be any fun to be here, because he won’t be able to spend the kind of cash he was hoping to.”

The Americans for Tax Reform founder also said that “we” Republicans in the House and Senate would force the president to make spending cuts before passing any continuing resolutions, suggesting the threat of a government shutdown if conservatives did not get their way.






















Grover Norquist is a Racist Manchild
First of all, what does he mean by “we, the Republicans in the House and Senate?” Did Norquist become an elected member of congress while I wasn’t watching? Has he been appointed by Nikki Haley?
And secondly, will someone please fetch Grover his binky?
Setting aside the childish implication that the president is going to “blow up” nameless countries for fun, I take it as more than just a little racist to claim you’re going to place the black president on a leash because he’s an uncontrollable spender when we all know he’s nothing of the sort.
~ J.M. Ashby on BobCesca.com

How delusional is this fool. Who elected him to high office. He talks about the President as if he is talking about a dog or a slave. These right wing bigots have not got he message that they LOST..
~ comment by Marie B. on Mediaite

Grover Norquist may decide to blow small woodland creatures for money if his con game is found out.
~ comment by The_Plasmatics on Mediaite

Yeah, I think Grover was one of those who also predicted Obama would be a one-term president. How did that prediction work out Grover?
~ comment by concentric1 on Huff Post

Well I'll come out and say it..... Grover you are a poopyhead!
~ comment by sonwinks on Huff Post

...bitter party of one, your table is ready...
~ comment by Carlos A. on Huff Post

Grover, Grover, it's ALL OVER. No one voted for YOU. You are a PAID LOBBYIST and an unpatriotic little twerp. You have not changed your 'small government' stance since high school. Well, government is not a small child, and YOU will NOT drown it in a bathtub, because you, Grover, will soon just be a faint memory, as will all those who signed YOUR pledge instead of upholding the Constitution and representing the people who PAY their salaries. Please, please, please Grover....do something productive. Setting your hair on fire would be nice distraction, and will help reduce our heating bills this winter, since dopes like you don't know how to extinguish the flames you like to start. And when you DO set your hair on fire, don't slap yourself silly trying to put out the fire. Kindly stand still so we can toast some marshmallows before we sit back to enjoy the spectacle.

He recruits new Democratic voters each time he speaks.
~ comment by TitaniumAvatar on Huff Post

Republicans know a thing or two about launching unnecessary wars.
~ comment by Daman on ThinkProgress

Freudian slip, there; he runs the Republicans in the House and Senate so effectively and for so long that he forgot that the puppetmaster is not supposed to be actually visible to the audience.
~ comment by Teresa B. on ThinkProgress

This is called 'Freudian Projection'. A narcissist like Grover is only able to attribute to others his own motives because he lacks any empathy.
~ comment by Gene G. on ThinkProgress

Whenever tempted to take Grover Norquist seriously as a human being, it's helpful to recall his name is a perfect anagram for Governor Squirt.
~ comment by James O. on ThinkProgress

As is the case when you start ignoring a bully, they just get louder and more ridiculous. There is no "we" when Norquist talks. He is one man, without any votes or public support, who is now watching the limited power he had fade away as it should.

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter Resigns Via Word Salad

Photobucket

New York Times Story
Mr. McCotter was running for re-election in a race that didn’t seem to be much of a contest, especially since he has carried the district since 2003. But his front-runner status quickly evaporated after 1,563 of the 1,830 signatures he turned in to get his name on the primary ballot were found to be fraudulent. Only 1,000 were required.
Longtime Michigan elections officials called the level of fraud “unheard-of,” and the state attorney general’s office announced a criminal investigation into the petitions.
. . . Mr. McCotter’s resignation has left his party without an obvious candidate in a Congressional district that would otherwise have been a Republican stronghold. One G.O.P. candidate who will be on the ballot for the Aug. 7 primary is Kerry Bentivolio, who, according to his official biography, raises reindeer “trained to pull Santa’s sleigh.”


From the Detroit News
As U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter's short-lived presidential run fizzled last year, the Livonia Republican turned to another aspiration: writing a TV show.
"Bumper Sticker: Made On Motown" starred McCotter hosting a crude variety show cast with characters bearing the nicknames of his congressional staffers, his brother and a drunk, perverted "Black Santa." They take pot shots about McCotter's ill-fated bid for the White House while spewing banter about drinking, sex, race, flatulence, puking and women's anatomy. It features a cartoon intro and closing snippet with an Oldsmobile careening through Detroit and knocking over the city's landmarks. The double-finned car has a Michigan license plate reading: "Made on MoTown."

The News obtained a copy of the script from a former staffer
McCotter told The News the work was unfinished and was given to a reporter without his permission. He said the show was a "cathartic" creative outlet that helped him through the humiliation of the presidential campaign flop.

McCotter maintains he didn't write the show on the taxpayers' time: "Most of my writing is done in my garage … where I can smoke."

Complete Resignation Statement Via Huffington Post
"Today I have resigned from the office of United States Representative for Michigan's 11th Congressional District.

After nearly 26 years in elected office, this past nightmarish month and a half have, for the first time, severed the necessary harmony between the needs of my constituency and of my family. As this harmony is required to serve, its absence requires I leave.

The recent event's totality of calumnies, indignities and deceits have weighed most heavily upon my family. Thus, acutely aware one cannot rebuild their hearth of home amongst the ruins of their U.S. House office, for the sake of my loved ones I must "strike another match, go start anew" by embracing the promotion back from public servant to sovereign citizen.

I do not leave for an existing job and face diminishing prospects (and am both unwilling and ill-suited to lobby), my priorities are twofold: find gainful employment to help provide for my family; and continue to assist, in any way they see fit, the Michigan Attorney General's earnest and thorough investigation, which I requested, into the 2012 petition filing.

While our family takes this step into the rest of our lives, we do so with the ultimate confidence in our country's future. True, as at other times in the life of our nation, we live in an Age of Extremes that prizes intensity over sanity; rhetoric over reality; and destruction over creation. But this too shall pass, thanks to the infinite, inspired wisdom of the sovereign people who, with God's continued blessings, will again affirm for the generations American Exceptionalism.

Truly, it is a challenging and fortunate time to live in our blessed sanctuary of liberty.

In closing, to The People of Michigan's 11th Congressional District, I can but say this: Thank you for the privilege of having worked for you

~ Thaddeus G. McCotter
