Cue the rage-o-matic: I’m of an age that I recall Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Argentina, Rwanda, Uganda … and the list, unfortunately, goes on, and on. In every instance it was preventable, it’s always preventable — see hubris — but they weren’t prevented. So there you have it and here we are again.
Time is going to bear witness to humans being the ebola virus of the universe and that may be unfair to ebola — it can’t help what it is.
“While Perkins claimed that the flood brought him blessings from God, Christian leaders have often had much different reactions to other natural disasters.
After Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans in 2005, televangelist Pat Robertson suggested that God was punishing the country for legalized abortion and Megachurch Pastor John Haggee declared that God had sent the floods to stop a Gay Pride parade.”
Where is the outrage from the moral right? Perhaps Trump taking Christie to his first intelligence briefing Wednesday was just one of the perks Bridgeboy earned.

The (“failing”) New York Times reports Christie forgave Trump’s casinos approximately $25 million in tax debt.
“The Times discovered the agreement during a review of the thousands of documents filed in the bankruptcies of Mr. Trump’s casinos. The taxes went unpaid from 2002 through 2006, during which time Mr. Trump was leading the company as chairman and, until 2005, as its chief executive. He reaped millions of dollars in fees and bonuses from the company, even as it underperformed competitors, lost money every year and saw its stock collapse.”
And the hits just kept on coming.
“In February 2007, Heather Lynn Anderson, a deputy attorney general who specializes in tax cases, filed papers in court saying auditors had discovered discrepancies that raised “numerous additional questions regarding the accuracy” of the Trump casinos’ tax returns. The company had reported lower revenue figures on its tax returns, for example, than on filings with the State Casino Control Commission. Ms. Anderson also wrote that Mr. Trump’s flagship casino, the Taj Mahal, had reported to the casino commission that it paid $2.2 million in alternative minimum assessment tax in 2003, which was not true. The company had paid only $500 in income taxes.”
The “Failing New York Times” should ask Trump if he likes Americans who win Olympic silver medals. It’s not gold after all. Maybe he doesn’t like silver medalists who get captured.
This is who we are, those assholes cheering for a wall need to get used to it and understand how blessed they are that native Americans didn’t meet our ancestors at the beach like it was Iwo Jima.
Their medals are for the U.S.A. , they represent all of us, even them …
Iowa Congressman Steve King has never been one who claims to be politically correct.
Not so long ago, on TV talk shows he tested his theory that non-whites have contributed diddly to society.
The blues alone would be enough of a contribution for me, but there’s no need go into what people of color have accomplished, created, achieved and contributed to our every day lives.
King also defended having a miniature Confederate Flag on his desk in DC. He appeared to be was pleased with citing First Amendment rights. Isn’t it amazing how important knowledge of the Constitution becomes when defending yourself for being a douche?
The list of King’s dumbassery is long. Just click here to have a look at some of it. It’s worth your time.
Here’s just a taste.
“For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”
But like most politicians, King is smart enough to wet a finger and stick it in the air from time to time to check which way the wind is blowing. He did that just recently and the wind told him that his boy, Comrade Trump, has just a 1-point lead over Hillary Clinton in a state that is normally colored Deep Red.
With that in mind and running for reelection, King spoke on the stump Thursday at the Iowa State Fair and said something very revealing. While he peppered the talk with praise for The Donald, King made a surprising remark about Hillary Clinton being someone he could work with.
You know the last time some right wing asshole suggested violence to their lower functiong brethren we got this,
According to NBC, Robert Lewis Dear — who killed three people including a cop, making him a hero to these “pro-life” folks while shooting up a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood — reportedly told investigators “no more baby parts” after he was arrested.
The list of King’s dumbassery is long. Just click here to have a look at some of it. It’s worth your time.
