Susan Collins Gets Gussied Up

Before and After
Susan Collins: All gussied up (as my mothered would have called it) for her 'Big Day', no longer just One of the Guys, but THE Guy,  sadly and clearly overdoes it, in an attempt to appear female: bouffant hairdo, extreme blue eye shadow and just so wrong makeup, as she stands up for her fellow Republican mysogynists.  If she thinks they'll have her back when they're done with her, she's got another thing coming. I can't imagine how she sleeps at night. In fact, my guess is they're all zombies, and this is the Apocalypse.

Good Lord, whoever did her eyebrows should be flogged. It's downright camp, non? To don such a getup on such a sad day flies in the face of all that is decent. Her smug betrayal of women is infuriating, a move I'll wager she will live to regret, as will they all.

"I will make a bargain with the Republicans. If they will stop telling lies about Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them."  Adlai Stevenson 

And this is interesting, from Wiki:

"Many years later it was revealed that during the campaign Stevenson was approached by Soviet Ambassador Menshikov who offered Soviet financial and public relations help to assist him in getting elected if he decided to run. Stevenson flatly rejected the Soviet offer telling Menshikov that he, "considered the offer of such assistance highly improper, indiscreet and dangerous to all concerned." Stevenson then reported the incident directly to President Eisenhower."

No kidding... seriously?  Well, I'l be..


 

Thank you, Mr, Kimmel!

Unbelievably Mr. Kimmel is the ONLY media person actually discussing the madness of King Donald this morning, amply displayed at his rambling incoherent "press conference" (generous term) yesterday.

Not a single mention of the obvious insanity displayed by the president yesterday for 80 MINUTES RUNNING in the paper of record or on ANY major media outlets.

This continued normalization of Trump's bizarre mentality as reflected in his public statements by everyone from Faux News to MSNBC  is frighteningly familiar.

And it occurs to me that it is always the Republicans, from Nixon to Starr to Kavanaugh, who seem to insist the public suffer every demoralizing detail of the sexual exploits of politicians. You have the give the Dems credit, when they misbehave they try to keep it quiet, resign, apologize and quietly slink away. The Republicans seem to get a charge out of airing every detail of someone's dirty laundry, and anyone's will do.  They're clearly titillated, and assume the rest of us are as well. The question is (as I decide whether or not to watch this hearing today), are we? And if so, is that the final joke on us all? Would we be able to admit it if it were?

And then there's this madness... note China's representative subtle shrug of shoulders in response to Trump's bizarre accusation – the rep seems to be saying "whaddaya gonna do, guy's nuts". We feel ya.

Tim-berrrr!!!

"What a Difference a day makes –

Twenty-four little hours......"

Irony or Metaphor?

You can't make this stuff up....  From this week's Harper's Weekly.

"It was reported that Washington's rat infestation was increasing, with complaints at an all-time high. 'The rats are in some ways a byproduct of the success of the city,' said Jack Evans, a D.C. Council member."
