Happy James Comey Shitcan Day

Yes, it was one year ago today that James Comey got voted off the swamp by the King Gator himself. And that's what we get when we elect as our Commander in Chief a guy who once hosted a show in which a billionaire oligarch got to fire someone once a week.

Note that at no point does the NY Times ever call these foreign workers "scabs." Even though that's what they are. Instead, they let an Arizona school district crow about how "innovative" their "recruitment" program is without even challenging it.

So, bottom line- We live in a generous nation in which porn stars get paid $130,000 after not having sex with married billionaires and useless lawyers get paid $1.2 million upfront. Right.

Just when you think Ted Cruz has a lock on the distinction of being the scuzziest member of the Senate, along comes Tom Cotton to challenge him for the title. And Cotton's stupidity during Gina Haspel's confirmation hearing is, well, torturous. And, as is usual in Trump World, if Democrats actually succeed in blocking Haspel, then Trump has an even worse candidate in mind- Namely, Tom Cotton.

Watch Paul Ryan eat crow as he swears back in the very same Chaplain he'd fired for partisan reasons.

So, Trump's legal team, or what's left of it, got a bright idea that they took to Robert Mueller: Instead of having Trump talk to you, how about you give him a bunch of questions and let him fill them out and we swear we won't do his homework for him, wink wink. Mueller said fuck you. Now Rudy's thinking Trump will take the 5th, which is something that Trump once said only mobsters do.

Are the 2018 midterms beginning to look a little like a Mickey Spillane novel? There are several reasons why.

So, the NRA went shopping for a new President (which is something the American people better start thinking about soon) and of course they settled on the guy who was right in the middle of the arms smuggling deal of Iran-Contra.

By now, you may have heard that Sen. John McCain is throwing in the towel and making plans for his funeral. Not included in those plans is the guy who criticized McCain for getting captured (an opportunity Cadet Bone Spurs never gave the North Vietnamese a chance to do). Now, Orrin Hatch, a senior member of a party that's always screaming about liberals playing politics, is trying to talk McCain into inviting Trump, after all. Tell you what, Orrin- feel free to invite Trump to yours and make it snappy.

You may have also heard that Melania launched her own cyberbullying campaign (Yes, the gold digger who's married to the biggest cyber bully on the planet). Problem is, it seems, is that she can't stop stealing from the Obamas because her pamphlet is a near exact, word-for-word copy of Obama's own FTC report from four years ago. Oh, and the same day Melania rolled out her purloined "Be Best" program, Trump announced he wanted to cut $7 billion from children's health care. You tell me who the bigger thief is.

Finally, just to let you know this isn't a blindly partisan blog, it seems New York's ex-Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, is also a misogynist, woman-beating prick. While there's no excuse for this, I also think it's bitterly hilarious that Hot Prick, Jr, who's facing a divorce over adultery, would pile on as if he has any moral capital whatsoever. And just a word to Andrew Cuomo, if you're looking for a new AG, I know a guy who needs a job:
