Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

BUTTIGIEG’S TOWN HALL THIS WEEKEND.
I watched a little of the Town Hall on Fox Sunday night 5/19/19 with Mayor Buttigieg. I think he did okay for a gay liberal trying to come off as a conservative type. He did say that he thought a woman who aborts a baby in the third trimester is not a bad person. “It’s choice of the woman and her doctor,” as I paraphrase.
The hell with the baby whose life is being ended.
But I digress.
I got a rumor about Buttigieg to repeat. I heard his “husband” has a tattoo of a jar of JIF peanut butter, supposedly a symbol of a tough childhood. Why such a thing is a symbol eludes me and bear in mind it is just a rumor. However I did do a Google search on Buttigieg’s husband and JIF and got quite a few hits. It’s all the same meme, he was poor but as long as they had JIF peanut butter they had something to eat.
MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN SAYS PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
Justin Amash is a Republican representative in the House of Representatives. Recently he said that he thought that Trump did commit impeachable offenses.
What a nice guy!
And yes, the shit did hit the fan. First, the fabulous Mitt Romney said he disagreed that Trump committed impeachable offenses but he did say that he found Amash’s remarks “courageous”.
Say what?
Mitt Romney, please pack your bags and go home.
He’s trying to be another John McCain.

ROBERT DINERO, A BIG ZERO BURGER
I suppose yon readers have heard the story of the sweet Robert Dinero and his cursing against President Trump at something called the American Icon awards.
Robert Dinero.
A big zero-burger.
Who the goddsake does this stupid being have a right to act like he is the judge of the people's choice?
If anybody should be an American Icon it's President Trump.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Dinero, talentless big nothing.
Time for the weekly item of…..
NOT POLITICS BY PAT ……………..
It's the printer.
I print maybe four or five things a year. I have had two inkjet printers and they just are not for me.
First, the ink gets dry and it takes a good bit to get the ink moving again. Second, I have to buy the ink very often and it's not cheap.
For four or five printouts a year?
Which is not to say that those printouts are not important, sometimes very important.
What would be ideal is if I could email whatever I wanted printed, have an account that the printing could be charged to, and have the resulting printout snail-mailed to me.
I don't want to buy another printer.
Does anybody know anybody who does this?

The most under-valued appliance is the ice maker. I bought my house because the refrigerator had an ice-maker. Insert wink here.

I had been refusing to buy what they call "imitation crab meat" because, well there is no such thing as imitation crab meat. What it is is fish but this weekend I bought a container and with a little cocktail sauce in which to dip I found it quite good.
I might not ever mistake it for lobster but it's a darn good protein.
-----------------
I suggest watching many of the plots of today's shows.
Every time a character is getting treated badly in a public forum it's almost always a Muslim.
Yeah right.
Every time there is some kind of natural disaster it's due to climate change.
Every plot is a liberal notion because if CNN can't jam it into our heads then "Madame Secretary" shall do it.

The most over-rated kitchen appliance is a blender. Wouldn't waste precious counter space on that thing that I know not what it does.

THOSE NEW SAT SCORES
Well this should work.
Here we have a battalion of parents all over the country bribing college admissions people to get their loser children in the school. Parents say their daughters can row a boat when they’ve never seen a canoe. They pay somebody to cheat on the SAT test.
And now this College Board is going to create some kind of civic score that will calculate their income and, in short, give them extra points if they are dumb, stupid, ugly, a bully or a total loser.
Of course I jest but this is not going to work, people, It’s not going to work.
That actress known as Becky will say her daughters live in the ghetto. For a small amount of funds I will get some of these extra points for my child’s SAT score.
------------------------
On a scale of 1 to 100, how much adversity have you faced? The College Board, the nonprofit that administers the SAT and other standardized tests, is rolling out an algorithm to evaluate that as part of a larger suite of scores it calls the Environmental Context Dashboard. The ECD is designed to provide admissions officers with information about where a student comes from—but students may be left guessing about how much adversity the College Board thinks they’ve faced.
According to the College Board, the ECD uses census data and includes metrics like the median family income and poverty rate in a student’s neighborhood and high school. All of that info is crunched into a single number between 1 and 100, with 50 as the average, presented as the student’s “overall disadvantage level” compared with peers nationwide. In addition to the overall number, the dashboard shows what percentile the student’s SAT score falls in at their high school, as well as the percentages of seniors taking AP classes and students eligible for free or reduced lunch at that school.
----------------------
It won’t work. It’s another way to cheat. Please, somebody stop these people.
PRESIDENT TRUMP REFUSES TO WORK WITH THE WONDERFUL PELOSI AND SCHUMER AFTER SHE ACCUSES HIM OF COVERING UP.
They are asking for his income tax returns from 1987. They want to interview all the people that the wonderful Mueller already interviewed. We spent 30 million on a big hoax and now the Democrats want to keep it going.
Trump said no and walked out.
Good for him.
--------------------------
President Trump on Wednesday ripped House Democrats for continuing investigations into his administration and shot back at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who claimed that he is “engaged in a cover-up.”
The president said he was ready to attend a meeting with Democrats on infrastructure at the White House with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer right after she made the comments. Trump said he walked into the room and told Pelosi and Schumer that he couldn’t talk about an infrastructure plan after the House speaker accused him of stonewalling the congressional investigations.
“I want to do infrastructure, more than you want to do it,” Trump said he told the two Democratic congressional leaders. “I would be really good at that. That’s what I do. But you know what? You can’t do it under these circumstances. So get these phony investigations over with.”

NY LEGISLATURE PASSING LAW ALLOWING ASSHOLES TO SUBPOENA PRESIDENT TRUMP’S STATE TAX RETURNS
The hell with the illegals clogging our borders. Forget those without health care who suffer. Do not dare worry about such as bridges and roads and airports.
WE ARE BUSY HARASSING DONALD TRUMP AND DO NOT BOTHER US WITH SILLINESS.
----------------------------
New York State lawmakers on Wednesday gave their final approval to legislation that would allow Congress to obtain President Trump’s state tax returns.
The bill, which is expected to be signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, would lift an existing state restriction on revealing an individual’s tax returns. It says the state Commissioner of Taxation and Finance shall release those returns if requested by the House Ways and Means Committee, Finance Committee, or Joint Committee on Taxation.
-------------------
Is this what we want our state legislatures bothering their pretty heads about? How many of yon readers bombed the NY legislators’ phones to demand copies of Trump’s state tax return, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. and REVEAL THEM TO US?
Soon they will all be gone.
SWEET NANCY PELOSI ACCUSES PRESIDENT TRUMP OF COVERING UP
Folks, this woman is in so much trouble that she’s losing her mind. Two and a half years and over thirty million and since the Democrats don’t like what Mueller concluded, next on the list is a)state tax returns as legislated above and b)accusations about covering up.
Because if Mueller, with his gang of Clinton cohorts, couldn’t find any Russian collusion or obstruction of justice….DAMN IT IS BECAUSE TRUMP IS COVERING IT ALL UP
! Pelosi is praying for Trump, who has so far handled almost three years of endless harassment, but Pelosi needs prayers for that tribe of malcontents she obviously can’t lead.
THEY WANT TO IMPEACH!
For what you ask?
President Trump should be impeached because they just don’t like him. What’s wrong with that?
----------------------
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a tense, aborted meeting on infrastructure Wednesday, a senior administration official told CNBC. “I don’t talk to staff. I talk directly to the president,” Pelosi said after Conway asked the speaker a question, according to the official.
The interaction followed President Donald Trump’s abrupt exit from a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders.
Pelosi earlier in the day accused the president of engaging in a “cover-up” by blocking White House aides from providing testimony and responding to document requests from congressional investigations.
The president responded by saying he doesn’t “do cover-ups” and that he could not work with Democrats on legislation until they stopped investigating him.
In a last-minute press event at the Rose Garden, Trump said he “walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, ‘I want to do infrastructure’ ... but we can’t do it under these circumstances.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP GIVES AG BARR RIGHT TO RELEASE ALL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED OF RUSSIA PROBE
This must include that mighty fake dossier thing, and the resultant FISA violations that had our own terrible federal police force investigating American citizens.
Exactly what our congress said would not happen when they passed the Patriot Act.
And Comey….CAPTAIN AMERICA, a lying, sniveling nothing-burger, and following closely behind, that awful Mueller guy that we all heard was a most wonderful fellow. This ugly man who wastes many millions in taxpayer money chasing what he knew was a big hoax. He could have been an honest man one could admire. Had he chosen so.
But he did not.
And so the truth will come out and it will be repeated until the busy American public, the people who carry this country on their back, will realize what those jerks were doing with their precious vote.
Bring it on Barr! Show us that there are decent and honest public servants who love this country.
EDITORIALS BY PAT
Now that we will soon learn how the Russian hoax came about and development of the plans to carry it out.
I have some thought about the plan.
But first, let us discuss this Steele dossier a bit.
The dictionary describes a dossier as “a collection of documents about a person, event or subject”.
So how come on this Steele dossier do we only know about one “event” done by one “person”. And at that, while it’s distasteful, it’s not illegal or the end of the world.
According to the Steele dossier, President Trump hired some Russian prostitutes to urinate upon a bed that was once used by President Obama on a visit to Russia.
First, what proof do they have of this? Pictures? The testimony of very honest prostitutes?
Second, even if true, which everyone agrees it is not, what is the huge crime of this? Is it enough to impeach an elected, or void a candidate, who hires prostitutes to pee on the bed? It’s distasteful but hardly enough to stop the world from rotating.
They couldn’t come up with something better than this? Like “Trump tried to hire someone to kill Hillary Clinton”? Something that might make people stop in shock, not stop and smirk.
Further, the dictionary says a dossier is a “collection” but if anybody knows of any other bad documents besides the whores peeing in this Steele dossier, please let me know.
Here’s what I think was the plan. It didn’t work, but bear with me.
I think they got this zero-burger Steele, hired by the Hillary people, to put out, right at the start, the story of the peeing prostitutes.
“Don’t worry, Joe. We’re working on getting two Trump campaign workers to break some international law and we got all his children under a microscope. We’ll have a huge dossier built by the time Trump is sworn in. It will be enough to get him impeached. The pee story is good to attract initial attention but we’ll have tapes and videos and plenty of witnesses by the time we get done.”
Above is what Comey, lovey honest man, adore him, might have said to Steele.
So they began the scam with big actions to draw the attention of the press. The lovely John McCain has to get in on everything, so he delivers the pee part of the dossier to Senate Majority leader McConnell, to great fanfare.
Only the two patsys they had lined up, scripted and choreographed to lie and join in schemes, enticed by beautiful Russian women….didn’t quite perform all that well.
They had Comey writing books and pouring on the charm. They told Mueller to find something, for God’s sakes, find something. We gave you all those Clinton insiders for your team, grill them. They’ll help you script the story.
But when time came to go to FISA court they didn’t have enough. Thus began many FISA requests and, at times, I suspect they just faked a judge’s signature for approval.
Yes, that’s the ticket.
I think this was all supposed to be scripted, taped, videographed, created out of whole cloth. Get Carter Page to bed the beautiful woman and hey, they’ll have it on videotape. Then they’ll have him wear a secret wire. Of course they somehow wired Trump headquarters.
THIS is the big surprise.
THIS is what’s going to knock your socks off.
They were trying to create, out of whole cloth a fiction script that would involve actors from all over the world.
Carter Page and Papadopoulos didn’t play their parts.
They need to all go to jail.
Horrible people.
