Totally rational NRA spokes-asshole Ted Nugent suggests that liberals should be shot like "rabid coyotes."

TED NUGENT (NRA BOARD MEMBER): Don’t ask why. Just know that evil, dishonesty, and scam artists have always been around and that right now they’re liberal, they’re Democrat, they’re RINOs, they’re Hollywood, they’re fake news, they’re media, they’re academia, and they’re half of our government, at least. So come to that realization. There are rabid coyotes running around. You don’t wait till you see one to go get your gun. Keep your gun handy, and every time you see one, you shoot one.

What did that survey say about the number of gun owners suffering from mental illness again?

Because I think we are looking at Exhibit One right here.

I actually think that if you took Ted Nugent's guns away he would simply roll up into the fetal position and die.

That's an experiment that I would like to witness first hand.

Probably the best news of the week was that this guy is going to prison.

Courtesy of the Chicago Tribune:  

The smirk wiped from his face, a crying Martin Shkreli was sentenced to seven years in prison for securities fraud Friday in a hard fall for the pharmaceutical-industry bad boy vilified for jacking up the price of a lifesaving drug. 

Shkreli, the boyish-looking, 34-year-old entrepreneur dubbed the "Pharma Bro" for his loutish behavior, was handed his punishment after a hearing in which he and his attorney struggled with limited success to make him a sympathetic figure. His own lawyer confessed to wanting to punch him in the face sometimes. 

The defendant hung his head and choked up as he admitted to many mistakes and apologized to the investors he was convicted of defrauding. At one point, a clerk handed him a box of tissues. 

"I want the people who came here today to support me to understand one thing: The only person to blame for me being here today is me," he said. "There is no conspiracy to take down Martin Shkreli. I took down Martin Shkreli." 

I don;t typically like jury duty, but I would have GLADLY served on this jury just to watch this smug POS bawling like a baby when he realized that he was going to the big house.

Just in case you do not realize what a scumbag this guy is, let's take a walk down memory lane: 

Shkreli became the face of pharmaceutical industry evil in 2015 when he increased by 5,000 percent the price of Daraprim, a previously cheap drug used to treat toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that can be fatal to people with the AIDS virus or other immune system disorders. 

Shkreli seemed to treat the case like a big joke. After his arrest in December 2015, he taunted prosecutors, got kicked off of Twitter for harassing a female journalist, heckled Hillary Clinton from the sidewalk outside her daughter's home, gave speeches with the conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos and spent countless hours livestreaming himself from his apartment. 

He also infuriated members of Congress at a Capitol Hill hearing on drug prices when he repeatedly cited his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Afterward, he tweeted that the lawmakers were "imbeciles." 

Last fall, the judge revoked his bail and threw him in jail after he jokingly offered his online followers a $5,000 bounty to anyone who could get a lock of Clinton's hair.

It is no longer politically correct to wish that bad things happened to people in prison, but in this case I am willing to make an exception. 

Well, Donald Trump has pissed off Mexico again.

Courtesy of WaPo: 

Tentative plans for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to make his first visit to the White House to meet with President Trump were scuttled this week after a testy call between the two leaders ended in an impasse over Trump’s promised border wall, according to U.S. and Mexican officials. 

Peña Nieto was eyeing an official trip to Washington this month or in March, but both countries agreed to call off the plan after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico’s position that it would not fund construction of a border wall that the Mexican people widely consider offensive, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a confidential conversation. 

Speaking by phone on Tuesday, Peña Nieto and Trump devoted a considerable portion of their roughly 50 minute conversation to the wall, and neither man would compromise his position. 

One Mexican official said Trump “lost his temper.” But U.S. officials described him instead as being frustrated and exasperated, saying Trump believed it was unreasonable for Peña Nieto to expect him to back off his crowd-pleasing campaign promise of forcing Mexico to pay for the wall. 

Both accounts confirm it was Peña Nieto’s desire to avoid public embarrassment — and Trump’s unwillingness to provide that assurance — that proved to be the dealbreaker.

So the President of Mexico does not want to come here, the British do not want Donald Trump to go there, and the Germans are actively mocking Trump in their parades.

But hey, at least Trump is best buddies with Vladimir Putin, right?

More about Donald Trump's completely inappropriate interactions with Andrew McCabe the now fired Deputy FBI Director.

Courtesy of NBC News:  

The day after he fired James Comey as director of the FBI, a furious President Donald Trump called the bureau's acting director, Andrew McCabe, demanding to know why Comey had been allowed to fly on an FBI plane from Los Angeles back to Washington after he was dismissed, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call. 

McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News. 

The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015. 

McCabe replied, “OK, sir.” Trump then hung up the phone.

Trump, enraged by TV footage of Comey boarding the government-funded plane hours after his firing, believed that Comey should not have been allowed to take the plane, that any privileges he had received as FBI director should have ceased the moment he was fired, the people familiar with the matter said. 

The previously unreported exchange between Trump and McCabe was one of a series of attacks the president aimed at McCabe that fueled tensions between the White House and the Justice Department and culminated Monday with McCabe stepping down as the FBI’s deputy director.

This is ABSOLUTELY unprecedented behavior.

So bizarre, so insane, that it almost defies explanation.

For the record it is completely normal for an FBI Director to get a government plane ride home after being removed from his job.

Trump's anger is simply unreasonable in this circumstance, and speaks to his inability to understand how government works, and his inability to control his hatred for those who dare to defy him.

The fact that he mocked McCabe concerning his wife's losing political campaign is so disgusting that I would only expect that kind of behavior from a sociopath.

This man is sick, and he desperately needs to be removed from office.

Pretty much sums up the Trump presidency. Don't you think?

What a gent! Donald Trump makes sure umbrella protects his famous locks but Melania and Barron are left to fend for themselves as First Family leave a blustery Mar-a-Lago.https://t.co/lxZNDC4jJW via @MailOnline

President Donald Trump along with wife Melania and son Barron boarded Air Force One amid rainy Florida weather on Martin Luther King Jr day. 

Photos show President 45 holding a large black umbrella close to his head - perhaps in an effort to keep his famous hair from being pelted by rain drops. 

But wife Melania, 47, and Barron, 11, were left to the mercy of the elements as they boarded the plane at Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach. 

It is not clear whether Trump, 71, at any point offered space under his large umbrella to his wife or son. 

Oh I think it's pretty clear.

He didn't.

And why in the hell would anybody who knows that Trump names everything after himself, and uses his Twitter account to engage in constant self aggrandizing, ever think to help anybody other than himself?

Ever? 

Right Wing hack attempts to portray Bristol Palin as Chelsea Clinton's intellectual superior. No, seriously.

Bristol Palin seems so much smarter than her horse-faced counterpart Chelsea Clinton pic.twitter.com/2syucbz4e5

— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) January 13, 2018

Let me remind you that this is a Twitter account owned by a man who tries to portray himself as a highly intelligent person.

However that is "highly intelligent" by conservative standards, so we are talking about an IQ in the mid to low 80's I would assume.

D'Souza is of course most famous for writing fact free books attacking the Clintons and President Obama, and for being an ex-con who served time after being convicted for violating federal election campaign laws in New York.

As for his suggestion that the skin school graduate is smarter than a woman who earned her undergraduate degree from Stanford University, and her master's degree from Oxford University, well that's actually too ridiculous to even address. (Oops sorry, Chelsea has a doctorate from Oxford. My bad.)

D'Souza does not care for facts, but if he did he might learn that any public remarks attributed to Bristol Palin, that are not sent in an angry text to one of her exes, is most definitely written FOR her by one of Sarah Palin's paid ghostwriters, who were hired to try and make Bristol appear intelligent.

Unfortunately that failed miserably after Bristol Palin decided to go all Wasilla-billy on some poor bastard during his birthday party in Anchorage back in 2014.

I am trying to remember that time Chelsea Clinton drunkenly attacked a man at his own birthday party,

Anybody remember that?

As for that attack on Chelsea's appearance, well this is picture of Dinesh D'Souza.

Nuff said.

Now George Zimmerman is threatening to feed Jay Z to an alligator. No wonder conservatives love him so much.

Courtesy of the Orlando Sentinel: 

It all started with a documentary that Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and the Weinstein Company are putting together about the 2012 Sanford shooting, as reported by Variety. Zimmerman said a private investigator with the film crew went to the homes of his parents and uncle. 

The uncle, a retired Army command sergeant major, said the private investigator also trespassed, according to Zimmerman. 

Zimmerman said Monday that he will harm Jay-Z if his family is sought out again.

“What I said is I would beat him as if I was Solange, and he would find himself coming out of the south side of a gator if he comes to Florida and bothers my family,” Zimmerman told the Orlando Sentinel. 

Zimmerman was referring to the sister of Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z’s wife, who famously hit Jay-Z in an elevator. The elevator security footage went viral. 

Rapper Snoop Dogg seems to have jumped into the feud, writing on Instagram: 

“If one hair on Jays hair is touched that’s when the revolution will b televised. ... Trayvon Martin Gone but not forgotten.”

Zimmerman does realize that Jay Z is a very wealthy man who is constantly surrounded by armed bodyguards, right?

This is not some unarmed seveneen year old kid that he is threatening here.

Speaking of Trayvon Martin, get a load of another quote from Zimmerman about this issue:

In a chilling reference to the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman grimly tells us “I know how to handle people who fuck with me, I have since February 2012.”

You know that almost makes me want Zimmerman to start some shit with Jay Z and Snoop Dogg. 

Then it might be there turn to "stand their ground."

Sheriff Joe Arpaio returns, and he is still looking for Obama's birth certificate.

Courtesy of Mercury News:  

Fresh off a presidential pardon, America’s most infamous lawman is coming to California this week as part of an effort to re-enter the political arena. 

“Don’t think I’m going fishing,” Joe Arpaio, the 85-year-old former Maricopa County sheriff, said in an interview with the Bay Area News Group. “I am not going away.” 

Arpaio, whose hard-line immigration policies divided the country and led to his own criminal conviction, is speaking at a Republican fundraising dinner in Fresno on Friday, an appearance that has local police bracing for protests and some GOP officials staying far away. 

“Sheriff Joe” was thrust back into the national spotlight last month when he received a pardon from President Donald Trump. He was convicted of contempt of court earlier this year, with a judge finding that he had violated court orders to stop detaining suspected undocumented immigrants in Arizona’s Maricopa County, which includes metro Phoenix. The pardon saved him from a possible sentence of six months in prison. 

In an interview on Tuesday afternoon, Arpaio, who lost re-election in November after 24 years in office, said the Fresno event was an example of his renewed “mission” to fight for conservative ideas around the country. That includes, he said, his continuing (and widely debunked) effort to prove that former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is fake.

My father used to say that there are some people "too mean to die."

Whenever I think of Arpaio that quote comes to mind.

It's like at 85 years old it is only pure hate that keeps him ticking.

He is a vile POS so it is no surprise that Donald Trump went out of his way to rescue him from a prison sentence.

Universally despised pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli has bail revoked for seeking sample of Hillary Clinton's hair.

Courtesy of the New York Times:  

Martin Shkreli, the former pharmaceutical executive who is awaiting sentencing for a fraud conviction, was sent to jail on Wednesday after a federal judge revoked his bail because he had offered $5,000 for a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair. 

Mr. Shkreli, who was free on $5 million bail while he awaited sentencing, had made two Facebook posts offering cash to anyone who could “grab a hair” from Mrs. Clinton during her book tour. 

At the hearing in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto said that Mr. Shkreli’s post could be perceived as a true threat. 

“That is a solicitation to assault in exchange for money that is not protected by the First Amendment,” she said.

Mr. Shkreli’s online offer last week prompted prosecutors to request that his bail be revoked — and the Secret Service to investigate. “On HRC’s book tour, try to grab a hair from her,” he wrote, referring to Mrs. Clinton. “Will pay $5,000 per hair obtained from Hillary Clinton.”

Seriously, is WTF is this guy thinking?

Does he really believe that  encouraging a physical assault against such a famous person would not bite him in the ass?

Shkreli stated in his post that he needed to sample to "confirm the sequences I have," which has been interpreted to mean genetic sequencing.

So what exactly does this idiot think a hair sample would prove? That Hillary Clinton is not human?

Donald Trump visits flood ravaged Texas and makes it all about him.

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) August 29, 2017

He stood on a raised platform of some type. Couldn’t tell if it was a step ladder or not. But he was not on a truck. Spoke into a microphone. 

“I love you, you are special, we’re here to take care of you. It’s going well.” 

“What a crowd, what a turnout.” 

Reporters heard no mention of the dead, dying or displaced Texans and no expression of sympathy for them. The message was services are coming and Texans will be OK. 

“Texas can handle anything,” POTUS said. 

“We are going to get you back and operating immediately,” he told the crowd (this contradicts the “Long haul” Sen. John Cornyn has publicly discussed and the caveat from FEMA administrator long moments earlier that it’s going to be a slow process).

Trump did not meet with any of the flood victims, mention the deceased, nor offer anything of substance to those who are suffering.

But to be fair he did offer this tweet.

After witnessing first hand the horror & devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey,my heart goes out even more so to the great people of Texas!

See? Everything's all better now.

Of course that tweet was immediately followed by this one.

Gee I wonder what ole Chris Christie has been up to? Oh, just yelling at baseball fans again.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie got into a spat with a baseball fan at a game in Milwaukee on Sunday, his latest public relations snafu to cap a month of snafus. 

In a video posted to Twitter, Christie is seen leaning over a fan who heckled him, angrily calling the man a “big shot” before storming away with a bowl of nachos.

A local news reporter for the station WISN12, Ben Hutchison, said he was a relative of the man Christie confronted, Brad Joseph. Joseph told the outlet he yelled the governor’s name “and told him that he sucked,” which sparked the encounter. 

“I called him a hypocrite because I thought it needed to be said. He turned around back towards me and got in my face for what seemed like a long time, but was probably only about 30 seconds or a minute. (He) was yelling at me. First he told me, ‘Why don’t you have another beer?’ which I thought was a decent come back, and I thought that was kind of funny. Then he started calling me a tough guy.”

Speaking of "tough guy" I wonder how tough Christie would be without all of that Secret Service protection? 

Besides what is the governor with the lowest approval rating in the country so mad about?

All the guy did was tell the truth.

Oh that's right, these GOP thugs are allergic to anything resembling the truth.

Donald Trump uses attack in UK to push his politician agenda, and to attack London's mayor.

Fears of new terror attack after van 'mows down 20 people' on London Bridge...

— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) June 3, 2017

We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2017

To be clear the three suspects, all dead now, have not yet been identified.

So there is no evidence that they were immigrants, or that a travel ban would have had any impact.

Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there - WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

This is the most reasonable tweet that Trump sent. Might have been best if he had stopped right here.

We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse

Of course in Trump's eyes being "politically correct" is seen as a sign of weakness.

At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

I guess in Trump's mind offering to help means misrepresenting the words of the Mayor of the city that just got attacked and then attempting to shame him publicly.

Courtesy of The Guardian:  

The mayor, Sadiq Khan, did not use the phrase “no reason to be alarmed” in a statement overnight or when he spoke in a television interview earlier on Sunday. 

In the statement, Khan said “Metropolitan police are responding to the horrific terrorist attack at London Bridge and Borough Market,” and added: “My thoughts are with everyone affected, and I’d like to thank the brave men and women of our emergency services who were first on the scene and will be working throughout the night. 

“This was a deliberate and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners and visitors to our city enjoying their Saturday night,” he said. “I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. There is no justification whatsoever for such barbaric acts.”

I guess because the mayor did not attempt to cause undue panic, and talked in complete sentences, Trump somehow found fault with him.

But wait, there's more.

Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

Not having a gun debate because England has some pretty serious gun control laws in place.

Does Trump really believe that if these killers had been able to get access to firearms they would not have used those in the attack?

And for fuck's sake why is he bringing that up at a time like this?

Author J.K Rowling had a fairly perfect response.

Well since the guy sitting in the White House does not know how to do this properly just let me say that as an American citizen my heart goes out to the victims injured and killed in this attack, and that I hope the people of London find some solace in the good will that is pouring into their country from every part of the world NOT led by a selfish orange tinged asshole.

Fox News retracts bogus Seth Rich story, while Sean Hannity doubles down and declares he is "not Fox News.com."

You might remember this conspiracy theory put out by Info Wars, the Russians, Sarah Palin, and Fox News suggesting that a young DNC staffer was murdered after sending incriminating materials about Hillary Clinton and the DNC to Wikileaks.

The story had earlier been debunked by Snopes, but for some reason the Right Wing resurrected it to distract from the ongoing Trump/Russia investigation.

Well yesterday Fox came to their senses and deleted their story and made this comment: 

On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. 

Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed. We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted. 

Just a rare moment of journalistic integrity on their part, and Seth Rich's parents were quick to thank them for it:   

Rich’s family said it was grateful for the story’s removal. 

“The family would like to thank Fox News for their retraction on a story that has caused deep pain and anguish to the family and has done harm to Seth Rich’s legacy,” the family said through a spokesman. “We are hopeful that in the future that Fox News will work with the family to ensure the highest degree of professionalism and scrutiny is followed so that only accurate facts are reported surrounding this case.”

The Daily Caller also removed their story:

Daily Caller has taken down its Seth Rich story:https://t.co/ibsAHQ4wOh pic.twitter.com/3OJVMXB5Lm

— Carlos Maza (@gaywonk) May 23, 2017

However the story is still being spread on Right Wing news sites, and Sean Hannity has broken ranks with Fox to join with them in that endeavor.

Courtesy of The Hill: 

Fox News’s Sean Hannity ripped his critics and the mainstream media on his nationally syndicated radio program Tuesday, saying, “I am not Fox.com or FoxNews.com, I retracted nothing.”

"For those accusing me of pushing a conspiracy theory, you are the biggest phony hypocrites in the entire world," Hannity said Tuesday. 

“This issue, it’s so big now that the entire Russia collusion narrative is hanging by a thread,” he said, referencing media coverage of the investigations into the Trump campaign and possible ties to Russia's meddling in the presidential election last year. “If in fact, take Seth out of it, there was a whistleblower within the DNC — a truth-teller that was actually the source for WikiLeaks, not Russia — working with the Trump campaign. These are questions that I have a moral obligation to ask, and I will do the mainstream media’s job like I have most of my career.”

"I will do the mainstream media's job like I have most of my career?" WTF?

Hannity's bizarre fixation on this story has reportedly upset others working at Fox News: 

Staffers at the conservative Fox News Channel are blasting host Sean Hannity and others at the network for their "disappointing" choice to push conspiracy theories about the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich. 

"It hurts those of us who are legitimately focused on journalism," one employee told CNN. 

"We have a chance to turn the corner at Fox, and perpetuating this conspiracy theory damages our integrity," the employee continued.

This is odd, it is almost as if somebody is pushing Hannity to continue fanning this conspiracy theory who has more sway over him than his employers apparently do.

And as for his employment, I am beginning to think that Hannity's departure from Fox News is now imminent.

Just a reminder that corruption is in the Trump family's DNA.

Here is the story in case you missed it.

Oh yeah, this is definitely the family to help "drain the swamp."

(H/T to Democratic Underground.)

Donald Trump wishes a happy new year to all of his enemies while rubbing their faces in the fact that he won. Gee, how magnanimous of him.

Just exactly what he would expect a megalomaniac with the maturity of a twelve year old boy to tweet.

I think I have coined a new term for how Trump interacts with people, "Dickplomacy."

It is kind of like "diplomacy" except that there is none of that, and instead Trump just acts like a dick.

John McCain promises that Republicans will continue to block any Supreme Court nominee that a President Hillary Clinton might choose, just like they have done with President Obama.

Oh damn, did I say that out loud?

Courtesy of CNN:

"I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up," McCain said. "I promise you. This is where we need the majority."

This was said during an interview on 1210 WPHT Philadelphia radio, and later the Senator's office tried to walk the statement back: 

"Senator McCain believes you can only judge people by their record and Hillary Clinton has a clear record of supporting liberal judicial nominees," communications director Rachael Dean told TPM in a statement. "That being said, Senator McCain will, of course, thoroughly examine the record of any Supreme Court nominee put before the Senate and vote for or against that individual based on their qualifications as he has done throughout his career."

Yeah you know I tend to think that what McCain said in this unguarded moment is probably a lot closer to the truth then that prepared statement issued by his office to save his ass.

Remember the Republicans have been blocking the confirmation of Merrick Garland since way back in February, and clearly have no intention of EVER letting a Democrat choose another Supreme Court justice.

In other words they have no intention of DOING THEIR DAMN JOBS. Not now and not once Hillary becomes out next President. 

Just another reminder of why it is so very important for the Democrats to regain control of the Senate.

Oh, and Fuck John McCain!

Civil Rights Museum turns Donald Trump away. Essentially because he is a belligerent rude asshole.

Courtesy of WFMY: 

The International Civil Rights Center and Museum was contacted by the Donald Trump campaign last weekend. Earl Jones, co-founder of the museum, says the campaign demanded certain things to make a visit by the GOP nominee possible. 

Jones says Trump's people were trying to plan a visit for Tuesday, the same day he spoke at High Point University. "We did not honor the request of the Donald Trump team because we thought they demonstrated, in their approach was disrespectful, so therefore we did not grant that request," said Jones. 

Jones says the Trump campaign was aggressive and rude to museum staff in making their request. 

He says Trump's people wanted the museum to be closed for at least 5 hours to accommodate Trump. 

Jones says the museum does not provide special treatment to anyone and says that is the main reason they denied the request. 

He said he also didn't feel like the request was sincere. 

"The approach, the type of disrespect, pretty much a demand and bullying us to use the museum in their manner and their way in their time, it was inappropriate and I think it's probably reflective of the type of insensitivity of civil rights and human rights that's reflective from Trump over the years," said Jones.

Oh damn! I think Mr. Earl Jones has Donald Trump's number.

Of course Trump's campaign thought they could bully their way into the museum, they're white!

And Mr. Jones is also right that Trump was not being sincere.

He was almost certainly doing it as some clumsy way to offset President Obama opening the Black History Museum in Washington, D.C..

Such an arrogant ass.

Hey, but here is a more lighthearted moment featuring that arrogant ass attempting to play beach volleyball.

According to the source this was back sometime before 1999.

Gee what an athlete.

Good thing he has money to convince women to look at him naked.

And yet it is still not enough to get him into the International Civil Rights Center and Museum.

Go figure.
