Great Idea for Supreme Court!

My hubby just came up with a great idea!

Obama should make a recess appointment to the Supreme Court: Elizabeth Warren.

And see if the rethugs will NOT contest it, just to get her out of the Senate and get her out of the running for the 2020 presidential campaign.

As much as I admire her as a senator, and think she would make a great president, I think she would also make a thoroughly bad-ass Supreme, and she'd be there for life! And I think she scares the rethugs enough that, if someone made it clear to them that it would remove her from the Senate and from the 2020 running, they might just let it go through.

I think it's a great idea!

It's the STUPIDITY, stupid!

Of all of Trump's many (and I mean MANY) failings, the one that most disqualifies him for the president is, I would assert, the fact that he is stupid. And not JUST stupid. He's moronic, imbecilic, brainless, inane.

Our pet guinea pig is smarter than that man. He makes shoe-leather look brilliant in comparison!

I wouldn't have thought it possible that the GOP could find a candidate dumber than W, but they rose to the challenge!

Now, I'm no Einstein. I didn't go to Wharton. And I'm certainly not a billionaire (though neither is he, apparently). But I'm happy with my situation in life, and I would challenge my intellect to his ANY day. Hell, I would challenge my CAT's intellect to his.

Thanks. Just needed to vent a little.

Donald Trump is doing women a great service right now.

Of course I'm being snarky, but I truly believe that there are lots of American men (and perhaps men all over the world) who are just now learning what exactly constitutes sexual assault.

Right now they're all saying, "What? He just kissed them. What's the big deal?" and "He just grabbed her ass! I've done that a hundred times and nobody cared!" and "What a bunch of whiny bitches! They're just making a big deal out of nothing." And hopefully, their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters--and even more hopefully, their fathers, brothers, and friends--are correcting them. Now I know not every serial sexual assaulter is learning this lesson, but I do think that many of them are, and that IS a good thing.

Okay, bring on all of the slamming about giving agent orange "credit" when actually it's the brave women who are coming out with their stories and their feelings who are the heroes here. Of course they are. But "Thank You" to the sexist bastard for handling it with such boorishness and insensitivity. Couldn't happen to a nicer orangutan.

It figures...

I certainly do not want to diminish her accomplishments. Ginny Thrasher is obviously quite talented and dedicated, and I offer her my sincerest congratulations for receiving the first gold medal of the 2016 Summer Olympics.




Having said that...

It just figures that the first gold medal of the games would be awarded to an AMERICAN for how well they SHOOT a GUN.

RIP Glenn Frey

Can't imagine the world without you in it.
