Anti-LGBTQ preacher suggests that USA Gymnastics doctor's sexual abuse of his patients was due to the immodesty of the sport.

Courtesy of Right Wing Watch: 

On his radio program today, extremist anti-LGBTQ pastor Kevin Swanson attributed USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse of more than 150 women and girls he treated, in part, to the fact that gymnastics encourages “a fair amount of immodesty.” 

Citing a variety of supposed dangers, such as the use of open showers, Swanson warned Christian parents against allowing their children to participate in sports because “sports tend to focus on the body.” 

“There is an infatuation with the body,” he said, “and, of course, the sexual aspects of the body as well. Some sports encourage immodesty, revealing large portions of the body and this happens in some sports. These are the risky sports. Here they are, what are the risky sports? Gymnastics. Gymnastics and swimming. These are the sports in which there is an added risk.” 

“Why are all of the gymnasts [at] more of a risk than other sports?” Swanson asked. “Do you really want your daughters involved in a sport that involves a fair amount of immodesty in which red-blooded American male coaches are interacting with these girls? Or, worse yet, where the infatuation of the body eventually effects the lesbian coaches?”

Swanson went on to suggest that Nassar was brought to justice because, “God is not going to put up with 20 years of this.”

So what, five, ten, or fifteen years is perfectly acceptable, but not 20?

Is that where "God" draws the line? 

First off the uniforms typically worn by female gymnasts are in no way the most revealing in the Olympics.

Some of the shorts worn by the female track and field competitors are barely even there, and don't get me started about the beach volleyball competitors.

But once again, so what?

The sports these athletes participate in require freedom of movement, and clothing that does not bind or interfere in their sport.

If a man finds that erotic in any way, that is entirely beside the point.

And it in NO WAY excuses a person from sexually assaulting or victimizing ANYONE.

I was a gymnastic coach for over four years, and ran a program that included young college age women working with children ages five to twelve.

I was literally surrounded by some of the most fit and attractive young women in the state. 

And yet every one of my interactions with them was purely professional. And I was very careful to keep in that way.

I was well aware that I was in a position of authority, and conducted myself appropriately at all times.

Because THAT is what you do.

I also once worked, very briefly, as the bouncer at a strip club.

And even in that setting I did not objectify my coworkers or do anything to make them feel uneasy in my presence.

Because once again, THAT is what you do. 

Besides this man was a doctor, so of course he saw these young women without any clothing at all, which renders this entire defense ridiculous.

Not to mention that some of Nassar's victims were children, so how does the "immodesty" of gymnastics excuse that?

No, being a man, unable to control his base impulses, cannot be excused by any claims of "immodesty" or blamed on the victims in any way.

Dr. Nassar is solely responsible for his actions, and he got what he deserved for them.

Roy Moore thinks that getting rid of all amendments to the Constitution after the 10th would "eliminate many problems."

Courtesy of CNN: 

Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore appeared on a conspiracy-driven radio show twice in 2011, where he told the hosts in an interview that getting rid of constitutional amendments after the Tenth Amendment would 'eliminate many problems' in the way the US government is structured.

Moore made his comments about constitutional amendments in a June 2011 appearance on the "Aroostook Watchmen" show, which is hosted by Maine residents Jack McCarthy and Steve Martin. The hosts have argued that the US government is illegitimate and who have said that the September 11, 2001, attacks, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing, and other mass shootings and terrorist attacks are false flag attacks committed by the government. (False flag attacks refer to acts that are designed by perpetrators to be made to look like they were carried out by other individuals or groups.) 

The hosts have also spread conspiracy theories about the raid that led to the death of Osama Bin Laden and have pushed the false claim that former President Barack Obama was not born in the US.

In Moore's June appearance, one of the hosts says he would like to see an amendment that would void all the amendments after the Tenth. 

"That would eliminate many problems," Moore replied. "You know people don't understand how some of these amendments have completely tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended." 

Moore cited the 17th Amendment, which calls for the direct election of senators by voters rather than state legislatures, as one he particularly found troublesome. 

The host agreed with Moore, before turning his attention to the 14th Amendment, which was passed during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War and guaranteed citizenship and equal rights and protection to former slaves and has been used in landmark Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Obergefell v. Hodges. 

"People also don't understand, and being from the South I bet you get it, the 14th Amendment was only approved at the point of the gun," the host said. 

"Yeah, it had very serious problems with its approval by the states," Moore replied. "The danger in the 14th Amendment, which was to restrict, it has been a restriction on the states using the first Ten Amendments by and through the 14th Amendment. To restrict the states from doing something that the federal government was restricted from doing and allowing the federal government to do something which the first Ten Amendments prevented them from doing. If you understand the incorporation doctrine used by the courts and what it meant. You'd understand what I'm talking about."

It should be noted that besides the 14th and 17th Amendments, which Moore seems to find so troubling, there is also the the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, the 15th Amendment which prohibited the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote based on that person's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude," and the 19th Amendment, which extended voting rights to women.

So essentially in Moore's eyes the trouble really started after those damn females and the darkies got the same rights as their white male former owners.  (Yes, at one time women were considered the property of their husbands. Or as Roy Moore calls it, "the good old days.")

I guess that is yet another thing that Roy Moore has in common with Vladimir Putin.

Moore claims he learned to speak such good Russian when he was at West Point, but that certainly sounds much better than my attempts to speak the French that I learned back in the 8th grade.

Apparently Trump has recorded robo-calls for Moore, so it appears the push is on to make sure this traitorous pedophile wins that Alabama Senate seat.

Garrison Keillor fired for "improper behavior." Aww, come on!

Courtesy of USA Today: 

Garrison Keillor, the former host of “A Prairie Home Companion,” says he’s been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of improper behavior. 

Keillor told The Associated Press of his firing in an email. In a follow-up statement, he says he was fired over “a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard.” 

He didn’t give details of the allegation. Minnesota Public Radio didn’t immediately respond to messages.

For his part Keillor had this to say: 

“I put my hand on a woman’s bare back. I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized. I sent her an email of apology later and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it. We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called.””

When all is said and done there will not be a male hero left standing.

I want justice for women, I truly do, but I just want to make sure that people are losing their jobs for truly egregious actions, and not simply for staring too long at a bosom, or accidentally brushing a buttocks.

New defense for Roy Moore courtesy of Rush Limbaugh. "Did you know that before 1992 when a lot of this was going on that Judge Moore was a Democrat? "

Courtesy of the Daily Rushbo: 

RUSH: So no matter what the real stories are here and no matter what the evidence is, these guys, these people on the Republican side are making it clear they’re going to prevent this guy from ever being seated in the United States Senate. 

Did you know that before 1992 when a lot of this was going on that Judge Moore was a Democrat? You didn’t know that? How about all these people now saying, “Oh, yeah, yeah, everybody here knew about Judge Moore. Oh-ho-ho, yeah, good old boy we’ve known about Judge Moore for a long time.” While he was a Democrat. Nobody said a word. When he supposedly was attracted to inappropriately aged girls, he was a Democrat. For what it’s worth.

I guess I'm supposed to have a response to this, but words fail me.

In other news apparently Roy Moore has removed a list of endorsement from his website:

Roy Moore's campaign website no longer contains a list of endorsements. 

A message on www.roymoore.org said the list of endorsements "is currently being updated." A list of names was on the site as recently as yesterday. 

The change comes after a host of Republicans have pulled their support from Moore in the wake of allegations he had improper sexual contact with two teen girls when he was in his 30s. 

Yeah I think that list of endorsements is being updated to zero.

Also yesterday two new accusers stepped forward to point the finger at Moore:

Gena Richardson says she was a high school senior working in the men’s department of Sears at the Gadsden Mall when a man approached her and introduced himself as Roy Moore. 

“He said, ‘You can just call me Roy,’ ” says Richardson, who says this first encounter happened in the fall of 1977, just before or after her 18th birthday, as Moore, then a 30-year-old local attorney, was gaining a reputation for pursuing young women at the mall in Gadsden, Ala. His overtures caused one store manager to tell new hires to “watch out for this guy,” another young woman to complain to her supervisor and Richardson to eventually hide from him when he came in Sears, the women say. 

Richardson says Moore — now a candidate for U.S. Senate — asked her where she went to school, and then for her phone number, which she says she declined to give, telling him that her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, would never approve.


A few days later, she says, she was in trigonometry class at Gadsden High when she was summoned to the principal’s office over the intercom in her classroom. She had a phone call. 

“I said ‘Hello?’” Richardson recalls. “And the male on the other line said, ‘Gena, this is Roy Moore.’ I was like, ‘What?!’ He said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m in trig class.’ ” 

Jesus, he actually had her paged at her high school. Damn that is some aggressive stalking right there.

The other woman says that the teenage girls at the mall all talked about how to avoid Moore, and were told “just make yourself scarce when Roy’s in here, he’s just here to bother you, don’t pay attention to him and he’ll go away.’”

The next story to pop up concerned not a teenage girl and an unmarried stalker, but a woman in the beginnings of divorce proceedings and an already married Roy Moore.

Courtesy of Al.com:

Once the papers were signed, she and her mother got up to leave. After her mother walked through the door first, she said, Moore came up behind her. 

It was at that point, she recalled, he grabbed her buttocks. 

"He didn't pinch it; he grabbed it," said Johnson. She was so surprised she didn't say anything. She didn't tell her mother.

She did however tell her sister who confirmed her story.

For their part Moore's legal team is focused on the yearbook he signed, because they are pretty sure that suckers a forgery. Never mind all of these other stories that confirm Moore's behaviors.

And that is good enough for Sean Hannity who, based on a letter Moore sent him, is back on the Roy Moore for Senator bandwagon.

Okay so was Rush implying that the only reason that Moore used to be a pedophile is because he was a Democrat, and once he switched parties he was cured?

Is that argument?

Damn, that much stupidity just makes my head hurt.

Well this sounds promising. Update!

Courtesy of WGBH News: 

National security expert Juliette Kayyem is predicting news from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation will be announced within the next month. 

“I think it is safe to say that before Thanksgiving ... something’s going to drop with Mueller,” she said on Boston Public Radio today. “The pace is too much right now. Every 12 hours we’re now dealing with a piece of this story at a pace we haven’t seen.” 

Kayyem was prompted to make her prediction by the buzz surrounding a story about how Hillary Clinton’s campaign funded what would eventually become the famous “Trump-Russia Dossier” that surfaced in January.

Kayyem speculated that the pace of stories critical of Hillary Clinton represents “a recognition by the White House team” that Mueller is getting close to something substantive as a result of his investigation. 

Kayyem pointed out that Mueller has interviewed former Press Secretary Sean Spicer and former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. “This is so close to the Oval Office now, if not in the Oval Office, that all of this [dossier news] to me is just background noise to what Mueller is going to deliver,” she said. 

“This is more than an obstruction charge. There is something big underlying the obstruction.”

This is essentially where my thinking has been lately as well.

However hearing it come from a national security expert is certainly encouraging.

Update: According to CNN the Mueller investigation has filed its first charges:  

A federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter. 

The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are. 

A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.

If this is accurate it is a HUGE deal, and may indicate that what this national security expert mentioned in the original article was dead on in her assessment. 

Rush Limbaugh is now fleeing from the storm which he labeled a "liberal hoax."

After claiming Hurricane Irma was a liberal hoax, Rush Limbaugh evacuates South Florida pic.twitter.com/NVvceqZWwx

— Media Matters (@mmfa) September 8, 2017

Courtesy of WaPo: 

Rush Limbaugh didn't say the magic words, but on Tuesday he basically accused the media of creating fake news about Hurricane Irma, which is threatening Florida after hitting Barbuda and Antigua. The storm's 185-mile-per-hour winds tied the record high for any Atlantic hurricane making landfall.“These storms, once they actually hit, are never as strong as they're reported,” Limbaugh claimed on his syndicated radio show. He added that “the graphics have been created to make it look like the ocean's having an exorcism, just getting rid of the devil here in the form of this hurricane, this bright red stuff.” 

Why would the media exaggerate the threat of a hurricane? Here's Limbaugh's theory: 

"There is symbiotic relationship between retailers and local media, and it’s related to money. It revolves around money. You have major, major industries and businesses which prosper during times of crisis and panic, such as a hurricane, which could destroy or greatly damage people’s homes, and it could interrupt the flow of water and electricity. So what happens? 

Well, the TV stations begin reporting this and the panic begins to increase. And then people end up going to various stores to stock up on water and whatever they might need for home repairs and batteries and all this that they’re advised to get, and a vicious circle is created. You have these various retail outlets who spend a lot of advertising dollars with the local media. 

The local media, in turn, reports in such a way as to create the panic way far out, which sends people into these stores to fill up with water and to fill up with batteries, and it becomes a never-ending repeated cycle. And the two coexist. So the media benefits with the panic with increased eyeballs, and the retailers benefit from the panic with increased sales, and the TV companies benefit because they’re getting advertising dollars from the businesses that are seeing all this attention from customers."

This was so egregious that even mild mannered weather dude Al Roker felt the need to call Limbaugh out on his shit.  

Do not listen to @rushlimbaugh when he says #Irma is not a dangerous #storm and is hype. He is putting people's lives at risk

And now we see Limbaugh fleeing like a camp counselor in a horror movie from a storm that he claimed was being exaggerated to frighten people into buying stuff.

If he were a man of his convictions he would stay put as an inspiration to his followers.

Just think how many would show to his funeral.

Assuming they could find the body of course.

No Stephen Bannon is NOT going to create a cable TV network to challenge Fox News.

Courtesy of The Daily Beast: 

“Steve’s not a TV person. He doesn’t like TV; he loves radio,” said Chris Ruddy, a pal of the president’s and the chief executive of right-leaning Newsmax, whose cable channel reaches around 35 million households. (Bannon is the former and likely future host of Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Radio.) “He may entertain notions of building a TV channel, but that’s very challenging to do from scratch,” Ruddy added. “God bless him if he could do that with any speed.” 

Former Breitbart editor at large Ben Shapiro is also among the skeptics. “Bannon had no other place to go except for Breitbart,” said Shapiro, a conservative radio and television pundit who opposed Trump during the campaign and quit the website early last year over Bannon’s lack of support for Breitbart political reporter Michelle Fields after she was manhandled by then-Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. 

Bannon “is not going to be the head of a think tank. He’s not going to be a personality or a talk radio host. He’s not qualified for any of those things,” Shapiro said. 

Instead, Shapiro predicted, “he will try to gain control over the movement he thinks he built—this nationalist-populist movement he thinks Trump rode the wave of. And what that means is he’ll be Trump’s quote-unquote conscience from the outside. You’ll see him go after all the people around Trump—and occasionally Trump himself. He’ll start off with Trump being ‘cucked’ by these people—and then it’ll turn into Trump selling out.”

Steve Bannon is a Right Wing troll, who runs a website, that would probably already be out of business if it were not for the support of the Mercer family. 

And once Bannon starts to really go after Trump that will only knock his website numbers down even further as Trump loyalists jump ship.

In the end I would expect that Bannon will end up going back to talk radio and leaving any hopes of expanding his influence behind.

And actually I would not be at all surprised to see Fox News working to reinvent itself so as to compete in a world where criticizing Donald Trump brings in huge ratings, and providing cover for him only draws ridicule and charges of pandering to white supremacists.

Michele Bachmann thinks that establishing a hate crime hotline is a violation of the separation of church and state. Wait, what?

Courtesy of Right Wing Watch: 

Former Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann was a guest on Jan Markell’s “Understanding The Times” radio program again last weekend, where she claimed that a hotline set up by the city of Minneapolis for reporting hate crimes was fascist and a violation of the separation of church and state. 

Last month, Minneapolis announced that a hotline had been established to allow residents to report hate crimes, which include “any crime against a person or property motivated by prejudice against someone’s race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity. This includes prejudice-motivated property damage (including graffiti), stalking and assault.” 

Bachmann claimed that this hotline is really an attempt to outlaw criticism of Islam and institute Sharia law, insisting that its creation is a violation of the separation of church and state. “What we’re seeing is that hotlines are being set up by units of government for the purpose of encouraging people to call in and rat on their fellow man to report a hate crime,” she warned. 

“What they’re trying to do is implement anti-blasphemy laws. They’re trying to implement Islamic Sharia law locally in order to quiet churches and quiet anybody who would talk about what the truth is about Islam.” 

“What they want is civilization jihad,” Bachmann continued. “They want jihad through the court system to silence speech because when you take away someone’s speech rights to speak out—like we’re doing right now, to tell the truth about something—then it’s game over … There should be a lawsuit filed against the city of Minneapolis for doing this. They have violated the so-called separation of church and state that the left is so in love with because they’re preferring Islam over any other religion and, number two, they’re fascists. That’s what they are, they’re fascists; they want to shut down your right to free speech.”

For some reason Bachmann believes that the only incidents which Minneapolis will label a "hate crime" is one perpetrated against a Muslim.

However according to the government website, this is how they define a hate crime:  

A hate crime is any crime against a person or property motivated by prejudice against someone’s race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity. This includes prejudice-motivated property damage (including graffiti), stalking and assault.

Look at that, not one word about Islam.

For all intents and purposes Michele Bachmann has dropped off the radar, but I just wanted to share this to remind everybody that the batshit crazy did not arrive with Donald Trump.

The batshit crazy was already in place among the Right Wing conservatives just waiting to welcome Donald Trump into the fold.

Disgraced former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly to join disgraced former Fox News host Glenn Beck's third rate talk radio show.

Courtesy of The Hill:

Former Fox News titans Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck will be reuniting for a weekly spot on Beck’s radio show. 

"We're going to do that every Friday until Beck gets tired of me," O'Reilly said Monday on his "No Spin News" podcast. "And it's a good outlet for me to, you know, discuss things back and forth with Beck, who's a good friend. We don't agree on everything, but it's very lively." 

Beck and O'Reilly are friends going back to their time together at Fox News, when they were the two biggest names on the network before Beck’s abrupt departure in 2011.

Glenn Beck actually left Fox after his contract renewal negotiations feel through most likely due to the fact that Beck was becoming more and more erratic on the air.

Of course to hear Beck tell it he was let go because Fox News wanted him to stop talking about God.

So now we have a man fired for sexually harassing women joining a guy let go for talking about the voices in his head, on a talk radio program and website that is on the verge of collapse.

I wonder if they will make room for Sean Hannity on Loser Radio 101 AM once he gets fired as well?

Bill O'Reilly claims that he was fired from Fox News due a Left Wing conspiracy, not because he said and did icky things to the women folk.

Courtesy of TV Newser:  

Former Fox News colleagues Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck chatted this morning on Beck’s three-hour morning radio show. This was O’Reilly’s first interview since being forced out from Fox News on April 19 following the report earlier in the month that he and Fox News paid $13 million to five women who accused the star of harassment.

Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly together again, hos could this not be batshit crazy?

Despite some prodding from Beck, O’Reilly said he couldn’t get too specific “due to the legality.” 

“Look, the entire ordeal was a hit job, and in the weeks to come, we will be able to explain some of it. It really has to do with destroying voices that the far-left doesn’t like. That’s the general tone,” O’Reilly said. 

Beck then asked if he would eventually come back to explain more or if it would be explained in other venues. 

“Both. There’s going to be an exposition soon, but I can’t tell you when, about who exactly this crew is that terrorizes sponsors, threatens people behind the scenes, that pays people to say things. We’re going to name them, and it will be a big story. The left-wing media will downplay the story, but it’s coming. Unfortunately, I was target No. 1. It’s sad for me, for my family and it’s grossly dishonest. From now on when I’m attacked, I’ll take legal action,” he responded.

Yes there is all kinds of secret evidence that can't be shared because it's secret, and the Left Wing media will downplay it because they only report on facts and not secret evidence that can't be shared.

Stupid Left Wing media!

But here's a hint, it's all about George Soros: 

“I’ll point you to an article seldom seen this week, it’s about nine corporations that are now being targeted by organized left-wing groups funded by George Soros because they allegedly are profiting from President Trump’s immigration stance. That gives you your road map. Soros is putting up big money right now, and this is going to become an even bigger story in the next six months” said O’Reilly.

“Look, people were very sad when it happened. I felt bad not only for me and my staff, but for the viewers and listeners because they really had no idea what had happened. People know the left-wing media hates me and hates Fox News, but they don’t know the full extent of it…We are accumulating information and hopefully it will all be made clear soon.”

Yep, that damn George Soros and his Left Wing orgy partners totally paid all of those women to act offended when Bill O'Reilly suavely used his immense powers of seduction on them and honored them by masturbating during phone calls with them.

George Soros probably also paid O'Reilly's former wife to make these scurrilous claims.

Courtesy of Jezebel:

In the affidavit, which was signed and notarized on October 10, 2011, and later entered as an exhibit in the couple’s divorce proceedings, O’Reilly’s ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy O’Reilly described a sudden spasm of violence on a night in December 2009. 

According to McPhilmy’s account, she discovered O’Reilly engaging in phone sex in their bedroom at roughly 10:30 p.m. one evening. O’Reilly then “flew into a fit of rage” and slammed her into a nearby wall, leaving a hole one foot across. He then, the affidavit claims, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, neck, and hands to immobilize her, and violently dragged her out of the bedroom and down a hallway on the second floor of their 4,600-square-foot, $2.4 million home in Manhasset, New York. 

O’Reilly went on, the affidavit claims, to drag McPhilmy by the neck down a flight of stairs and through the kitchen, as McPhilmy screamed that he was hurting her. In the kitchen, the affidavit claims, a security guard assigned to protect O’Reilly and his family saw what was going on, at which point O’Reilly stopped the attack. When the guard asked her if she wanted to report the incident to the police, she declined, McPhilmy added. 

The guard was startled by O’Reilly’s appearance, McPhilmy wrote, because he was naked from the waist down while attacking her. 

Oh yeah, if it wasn't for those darn Left Wing kids and their Mystery Machine, O'Reilly would still be dragging his wife down the stairs by her neck and engaging in one sided phone sex with unsuspecting women.

Curse that George Soros. Curse him all to hell!

The argument that Alex Jones is using to fight for custody of his kids, is that he is a big phony and does not believe the things he says on the air.

Courtesy of My Statesman:  

At a recent pretrial hearing, attorney Randall Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo that using his client Alex Jones’ on-air Infowars persona to evaluate Alex Jones as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in “Batman.” 

“He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said of Jones. “He is a performance artist.” 

But in emotional testimony at the hearing, Kelly Jones, who is seeking to gain sole or joint custody of her three children with Alex Jones, portrayed the volcanic public figure as the real Alex Jones. 

“He’s not a stable person,” she said of the man with whom her 14-year-old son and 9- and 12-year-old daughters have lived since her 2015 divorce. “He says he wants to break Alec Baldwin’s neck. He wants J-Lo to get raped. 

“I’m concerned that he is engaged in felonious behavior, threatening a member of Congress,” she said, referring to his recent comments about California Democrat Adam Schiff. “He broadcasts from home. The children are there, watching him broadcast.”

Wait, so all of that violent rhetoric and spittle is just a performance?

Do his crazed listeners know that?

By the way this is similar to arguments made by Glenn Beck, Howard Stern, and Rush Limbaugh in times past. And nobody really believed them either.

And let's also keep this in mind: 

“Alex Jones and his Infowars’ umbrella of radio shows, YouTube and Facebook broadcasts, Internet website and tweets turned out to be Trump’s secret weapon,” Roger Stone, probably Trump’s oldest and closest political confidant, wrote in his book “The Making of the President 2016.” “His fiery words have struck a chord in the nation and he speaks for millions. 

In fact, more people follow Alex than watch Fox News or CNN.”During the campaign and into his presidency, many of Trump’s most defining themes and questionable assertions either originated with or were popularized by Infowars: Hillary Clinton for prison. Hillary Clinton is gravely ill. Bill Clinton is a rapist. President Barack Obama founded ISIS. The election is rigged. Millions of immigrants voted illegally. The news media covers up terrorist attacks. The “fake news media … is the enemy of the people.” Obama spied on Trump. 

Which begs the question, if Alex Jones is full of shit, and does not actually believe the crap that he spews on the air, does that mean that Trump's presidency is based on performance art directed at the simple shits who listen to Info Wars and read Breitbart News?

Oh I think we know that answer to that question.

By the way if this judge has a brain in his head he will keep these children as far away from this nutjob as humanly possible.

Conservative Colorado radio host who claimed that only Democrats commit voter fraud has been charged with...all together now....voter fraud.

Courtesy of WaPo:

The 2016 election was just a month away when Steve Curtis, a conservative radio host and former Colorado Republican Party chairman, devoted an entire episode of his morning talk show to the heated topic of voter fraud. 

“It seems to me,” Curtis said in the 42-minute segment, “that virtually every case of voter fraud I can remember in my lifetime was committed by Democrats.” 

On Tuesday, Colorado prosecutors threw a wrench into that already dubious theory, accusing Curtis of voter fraud for allegedly filling out and mailing in his ex-wife’s 2016 ballot for president, Denver’s Fox affiliate reported. 

Curtis, 57, was charged in Weld County District Court with one count of misdemeanor voter fraud and one count of forgery, a Class 5 felony, according to local media. 

The case is the only voter fraud investigation related to the 2016 election that has resulted in criminal charges in the state, the Colorado secretary of state’s office told Denver’s ABC affiliate.

A good rule of thumb when dealing with outspoken conservatives is that whatever terrible thing they are accusing the liberals of doing they themselves are actually doing instead.

It also works with racists and homophobes.

Buyer's remorse.

These statements are cropping up all over the place as the idiots that actually thought Donald Trump has what it takes to be the President of the United States.

However as much as I would like to feel sorry for them, I simply cannot bring myself to give a shit about anybody who is so incredibly partisan or thick headed that they would have supported Trump's candidacy.

So instead I will simply keep on posting these when I find them and then give them the mocking they so richly deserve.  

Even Howard Stern cannot bring himself to defend Donald Trump over those "grab their pu**y" remarks.

Courtesy of TPM:

Shock jock Howard Stern on Monday refuted his friend Donald Trump’s claim that his leaked comments about grabbing women’s genitals were just “locker room talk.” 

“I have never been in the room when someone has said, 'Grab them by the pussy," Stern said on his Sirius satellite radio show, quoting Trump’s own words caught on a hot mic during a 2005 “Access Hollywood” appearance. "No one's ever advocated going that step where you get a little bit, 'Hey I'm going to invade someone's space.'"

Okay this is really a hard blow against Trump's argument that this is locker room talk, or Melania's dismissal that this is just "boy talk."

Howard Stern has made a career out of saying some of the most inappropriate and outlandish things ever said on talk radio, so if even HE cannot excuse these comments that is really saying something.

Remember Stern had Trump on his show numerous times.

Here is how he explains why that was good for his show:

Stern said he intentionally brought Trump on air often knowing that he would make “entertaining” and inappropriate comments about women. 

“I fully knew what I was doing when I interviewed Trump. I knew I had a guy who loved to talk about sex,” Stern said. “I had a guy who loved to evaluate women on a scale of 1 to 10. These are avenues I went down because I knew it would entertain the audience.”

So essentially here was this famous rich guy who acted like a kid in middle school who suddenly discovered boobies, and was acting like that was the only thing he could think about.

Stern had Trump on his show because his audience was made up of emotionally stunted perverts who felt that Donald Trump was one of their own.

And guess what he is.

Sarah Palin goes on Breitbart radio, which is apparently a thing, and doubles down on her attacks against BLM.

Okay I listened to it, even at the risk of my own sanity, but I will be damned if I will provide a transcript. The crazy is just too deep for that.

Here is a brief tidbit courtesy of Raw Story:

“They’re not protesters,” she said during an interview on Breitbart News Sunday. “You know, these are thugs, they’re rioters.” 

“And yeah, I’m calling out the media, saying quit claiming that these rioters are people,” Palin continued. “They’re stomping on a flag — figuratively and literally — shouting ‘death to cops’, celebrating violence.” 

According to the former GOP vice presidential nominee, black activists “are getting away with it because there aren’t enough of them gutsy enough to call out what it actually is — and it’s sick.” 

“And I think the media is perpetuating a message that really evil people are thriving on right now,” Palin added, “as they try to warp malleable minds that would believe that one race matters more than another.” 

“You know, it’s the antithesis of Martin Luther King Jr.’s message. It’s the antithesis of our Constitution, of the Bill of Rights, our charters of liberty that says all men are created equal.”

She essentially goes back through her talking points from that Facebook rant, while the interviewer, some guy named Alex Marlow, gushes over her like he is meeting his favorite porn star for the first time.

The common themes of course are the pimping of Donald Trump, claims that the Republican establishment is corrupt,  that liberals are bad, the media is untrustworthy, and then ends the interview by, believe it or not, once again teasing the possibility that she might reenter politics.

Sarah Palin attacks Paul Ryan for not attacking Islam in response to the Orlando nightclub attack. Even though essentially he did.

Okay get your hazmat suits on kids, cause this links to Breitbart:

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin blasted House Speaker Paul Ryan for his gutless reaction on radical Islamic terrorism — and for his criticisms of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump on Islam — during an exclusive interview with Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Sunday on SiriusXM. 

Ryan has barely condemned the terrorist attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando killed 50 and landed another 53 in the hospital. 

“Paul Ryan is out of touch with his constituents,” said the former GOP vice presidential candidate. “Those who have put their faith in with their sacred vote.” (Sacred vote? Does that come with a super secret decoder ring?)

Leaders like Ryan have not come up with the plan or the will to confront the threat, she said. “What is the number of lives lost before our leadership will wake up and deal with the problem?” (Inadequate gun control laws?)

“It’s a deadly ideology. It is embraced by people who lie,” she said. “They will strike again. They will continue.” (Oh she's talking about Islam. Dammit I should have guessed Islam.)


Palin then of course said that Donald Trump was right about keeping Islamic refugees out of the country, even though the Orlando shooter was born in America.

But wait, there's more:

“It is ‘We the People’ who have to educate each other, do our homework,” she said. “Then, we circle the wagons. That’s how we survive, we circle the wagons.” (Okay, I don't even have a wagon. Do you guys have a wagon? Seriously who has a wagon these days?)

“The RINOs [Republicans in Name Only], the establishment, the permanent political class — they don’t care who wins an election as long as they are protected, their pocketbook, their power, their name tag that they get to wear with a big title on it. That is their motivation. To them politics is a business. They are in it for a season, not a reason. And their season all has to do with self-protection and financial gain,” she said. ("To them politics is a business." How does this woman not overdose on irony like five times a day?)

“The rest of us — we don’t care about the money (Ha!), we don’t care about the titles, the power, the offices. No, we’re busy living our lives and raising our families and running our businesses. And we just want the best for this exceptional nation. We do want it to be great again, and that is why so many of us jumped on the Trump train.”

At the end of the article Palin characterizes Trump as, and I kid you not, "this blue collar billionaire in touch with the people."

Man I knew she would be back, but even I did not expect her to be this tightly wound.

So do you want to know the stupidest part?

Yes, I know the whole thing is stupid, but there is even something dumber.

Paul Ryan, DID condemn Islamist terrorists: 

House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, commenting on Sunday's mass shooting in Orlando, said: "As we heal, we need to be clear-eyed about who did this. We are a nation at war with Islamist terrorists."

I'm not exactly sure how much more condemning that Sarah Palin wants, perhaps she wants Ryan to tell people to start punching hijab wearing women in the face or something, but that seemed like some fairly aggressive religious intolerance to me.

Here let me end with this.

Islam did not kill those 50 or more people yesterday.

Homophobia did not rip the flesh off of more than a hundred people in a nightclub in Florida.

Terrorism did not provide the means for the worst mass shooting in America history.

These did.

It really does not matter why these people kill our fellow citizens, it matters how.

And the answer to how is that they are living in a country which fervently believes that it is everybody's right to have access to the deadliest weapons available. And if dozens, and dozens, of people die, well that is just the cost of freedom.

American style.

Glenn Beck's radio talk show gets suspended for not confronting caller who hinted at a 2nd Amendment solution for Donald Trump.

Courtesy of Politico:  

Satellite radio company SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck's syndicated show this week and is "evaluating" the program's place over comments made last week by one of Beck's guests. 

Last week, fiction writer Brad Thor appeared on Beck's program and suggested GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was a danger to America and that citizens would have to take means that may not be legal in order to get Trump out of office. Beck did not immediately admonish or distance himself from the comments, leading to the suspension by SiriusXM. 

Look I understand people's very real concerns about Donald Trump, and support numerous methods for stopping him from being elected.

But like pretty much all liberals I draw the line at actual murder.

And clearly Glenn Beck should do the same. 

After much criticism from the Left and the Right Sarah Palin turns to Rush Limbaugh to help explain her bizarre endorsement of Donald Trump. Oh yeah, that'll help.

So nice that Palin made sure to stamp each one of these with her SarahPAC logo. After all a grifters gotta grift.

Interestingly enough, seemingly unmoved by Limbaugh's conserv-a-splation, Palin's own supporters are turning away from her in droves since the Trump endorsement:

The above of course are all from Palin's apparently no longer edited Facebook page.

By the way Limbaugh's defense of Palin has also caused some blowback among his ditto-heads:

Shock jock Rush Limbaugh enraged listeners by defending Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Donald Trump this week. The conservative radio host said Palin was right to ditch the GOP establishment because the establishment had tried to destroy her—and by supporting her, made waves among the conservative hardliners split by Trump’s surging candidacy.

I swear if this keeps up I may just have to end my Netflix subscription because who needs it with all of this going on?

Well look who finally reared her road kill bewigged noggin.

Happy Birthday Rush! From your strongest chickified fans who join you in the fight against wussification in the...

Okay so why is she still posting from New Orleans?

After all she has a new granddaughter to snuggle and family scandal to quell up here in Alaska.

Well at least TRY to quell. 

And the thing that brought her back to Facebook after seven days was to wish a corpulent misogynist a happy birthday?

Damn that is some set of priorities.  

"I don't understand tongues." Toledo radio host's response when crazy fundamentalist mayoral candidates gets angry and tries to curse him.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

The footage shows 75-year-old Opal Covey holding up her copy of the Bible and telling Fred LeFebvre, “I don’t know what God is going to do.” 

“I have no idea what he’s gonna do either,” he replies. “None of us know.” 

“But you are comin’ up against the works of the Lord,” she tells him. “And you’re not accepting it, and you’re doing retaliation on me. Of course you are.” 

“I’m not doing retaliation,” LeFebvre says. “Just want you to get specific about how you’re gonna do these things your lawyers told you to do.” 

LeFebvre does not specify what the instructions were from Covey’s attorney, but does tell her later that, according to the Bible, she would be a “false prophet” if she failed to beat the other six candidates in the race. 

“Right now you actually are a false prophet,” he adds. “You said you were gonna get elected before and you haven’t been elected. So you are a false prophet, Opal Covey.” 

“Right now, because you have called me a false prophet, to my face, I will wipe the dust — the very dust of my feet — off against you, as a testimony against you,” she shoots back. “And whatever God does, the people will see it. I rebuke you, and I curse the evil spirit within you. What you have done to destroy me this morning shall destroy you.” 

Covey then begins speaking in tongues before calling LeFebvre an “evil man.” 

“I don’t understand tongues,” he says, before she resumes speaking in tongues.

These people are fun to point and laugh at, but the real problem is that some of them actually sneak under the radar and get elected to public office.

And yes I'm looking at you Mike Huckabee.

BTW I had never heard of this Opal Covey lady before, but as it turns out she is quite a presence on You Tube.
