Is there a hard tape of Trump's "perfect call"?

If so, we must subpoena that recording and have it re-transcribed three times: once by a private sector scribe who is a Democrat and hasn’t read Trump’s script, once by a private sector scribe who is a Republican and who hasn’t read Trump’s script, and finally by the National Security Agency, who employs the government’s best transcribers. Then we need to compare the three transcripts to the one Trump keeps telling people to read.

I suspect Trump’s transcript is phonier than a three-dollar bill, and having the tape re-scribed by people not associated with Trump will prove it.

Today's Shea news: Terrorist Republican compares his situation to Trump's

https://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Defiant-Rep-Matt-Shea-won-t-resign-draws-Trump-14922803.php

After yesterday's news...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212802007

in which Matt Shea (Washington state House member from Spokane Valley, and obviously a Republican) was marooned on the steps of the Legislative Building...

he has responded with a Facebook post:

"Like we are seeing with our President, this is a sham investigation meant to silence those of us who stand up against attempts to disarm and destroy our great country. I will not back down. I will not give in. I will not resign. Stand strong, fellow Patriots.

"Thank you to everyone for the massive outpouring of support prayers! I will continue to defend the Constitution against tyranny and fight to protect our God given rights to life, liberty, property and the ability to defend the same. Blessings to you. Matt."


The last and only expulsion from the Washington Legislature happened in 1933. I suspect another one will happen next month.

Terrorist Republican thrown out of WA state House GOP caucus

His name is Matt Shea. He is a Washington state House member from Spokane Valley. He has been involved in both Bundy standoffs, among other things. He wants you and I dead.

Today, a report detailing his terrorism-related activities has been released. As a result, he has been kicked out of the House GOP caucus, and its leader is calling for Shea's resignation.

The sheriff of Spokane County believes Shea should be charged with domestic terrorism, but can't figure out how to do it without bringing every Teabagger, Three Percenter and Sovereign Citizen west of the Rockies to Spokane.

What's historic about this impeachment

Trump will be the third impeached president in our nation’s history - but only the first Republican to earn the dishonor.

Here's my latest published newspaper article

https://www.cdapress.com/local_news/20191129/this_is_the_parade_youre_looking_for

My city, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has an all-female parade performance group called the Blazen Divaz. This year's Big Trip for them was to the 6ABC Dunkin' Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia. I went with them to report on it, and the story is above.

The real reason Trump went to Walter Reed

After Governor Edwards beat Trumpist Eddie Rispone in the Louisiana governor’s race, our ersatz president reached for his phone and composed a scathing tweet accusing Rispone of being a Never Trumper, a Hillary Voter and a Closeted Democrat. According to the tweet, Rispone was responsible for Louisiana’s poor standing in the world, the Deepwater Horizon blow-out, and the bedbugs at Trump Doral.

Before Trump got a chance to press the Send button, his phone realized what Trump was about to do and detonated with the force of an 81mm mortar round. A large chunk of his phone struck Trump in the head with great force.

Trump’s minions immediately rushed him to Walter Reed to ensure the accident caused no lasting damage. They were relieved when the doctors informed them there was nothing in his head to damage.

Unfortunately, Trump hasn’t yet been placed on the “do not sell a phone to this man” list, so the damage will continue...just to the rest of us.

How to stop scammers from calling you

This is a script. It must be followed to the letter to have any effect.

A few days ago, I started getting phone calls from the “suspended Social Security Account” scammers. I know these guys just use a robodialer to dial at random until they find a mark.

I pick up the phone the first time. “This is a call from Social Security. We are calling to notify you that your Social Security account has been suspended due to several fraudulent transactions...” I hung up.

The second time: “This is a call from Law Enforcement Agency. We are calling to notify you that a warrant has been issued for your arrest in conjunction with fraudulent Social Security transactions.” Yeah, right mother fucker. I hung up.

The third time was a repeat of the first call. I let it play until a human operator came on the line, and then I yelled at the top of my lungs, “I KNOW THIS IS A FUCKING SCAM, YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT. DO NOT EVER FUCKING CALL ME AGAIN.”

There have been no further calls from them.
