I’m running way late today. After a sleepless night, I had to take a nap this morning. Then I needed to scan some documents, and my scanner won’t work. I’ve been trying to solve the problem for the last three hours without success. Tomorrow I’ll be late too because it’s a Wendy day and a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:26 (average 5:07). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From MSNBC: Rachel and I disagree.
I don’t believe him. She does. If I’m right, Trump is a criminal seditionist, and is not fit to be President. If she’s right, Trump is an idiot, and is not fit to be President.
From Daily Kos: David Farenthold has done a brilliant job of exposing Trump’s grandiose lies about his charitable giving. Now it appears that multiple charities are telling him they never received donations the Trump Foundation claimed on IRS submissions.
Claiming deductions for funds not donated is criminal tax fraud.
From The New Yorker: In an appearance Friday on CNN, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Presidential nominee, promised that as President he would get tough on East Korea.
“This behavior is unacceptable,” he said. “The East Koreans are making us look like idiots.”
While stressing that he remained, for the most part, an isolationist, he said, “I will do everything in my power as President to support our allies in West Korea.”
FOMCROTFPIMPLMAO!!!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
MSNBC: WTH??? To not know?? Again, he's lying. imho. I'd bet $$ that he knew. Isn't/couldn't this be classified as Treason?? Seems like it to me.
DK: Doesn't surprise me at all.
NYer: East Korea. Hilarious!!!
Cartoon: Of course. Ouch!!
Hope that you get some much needed sleep/rest this evening. I thought my team played today, duh!! It's tomorrow, 9/11. There's a memorial service tomorrow @church. It's been 15 years all ready. A horrible day.
Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
MSNBC: As Hillary was shown to say, last night, "This is not a campagin it is a reality TV show!" I love Rachel's reference to "Hee Haw," it nails it. Perhaps even the John Birchers will turn orange over the outrage! HE IS NOT GOING TO GET PLAYED? I thought I was getting pretty good at being able to ignore his idiocy. Future historians willmbe hard put to not claim that his whole campaign was not a parody written, produced and published by our guy, Andy, perhaps with help from Monty Python and the Onion. Shit, can you imagine how this will be written up in the history books of 2030? "Hi kids, welcome to American History, (snicker, snicker-and that's the teacher, not the kids, snickering). As this is the first week of class, we will be doing an exercise called 'Beat your brains against the wall this week, because you won't believe what is on the curriculum next week'."
DK: So, when does he get screwed to the wall? C'mon already!!
New Yorker: It took me a bit to realize, I hope, that that was, as above, our good friend Andy. Why was that, you may well ask? Why not, these frigging idiots could just go there. Maybe he's got Dr. Ben on his advisory board. Why not, has not Empty Man got Batshit woman on his?
4:58 All tied up in knots.
I have no idea why a scanner would die. I assume you've unplugged it, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and plugged it back in, sine you are more knowledgeable than I. Good luck. Also, good luck with the orb.
MSNBC – I haven't watched it yet, but do you think she really believes him? Isn't just pretending she believes him, in otder to – oh, I don't know, there must ne some possible reason. Maybe to demonstrate what a stupid excuse it is because the fact damns him either way, as you point out? Because of course he is lying. His mouth was moving.
DKos – Yes. It is. It's also despicable. I mean even more than some other forms of tax fraud. Did David, or someone who is on his staff researching this, officially turn him in? If not, why not? I'm pretty sure the IRS would not be able to act on the basis of a news article. They would need a tip.
New Yorker – Well, Johnson asked for that one.
Cartoon – Isn't that the truth!
Puzzle — 3:46 Fortunately, I did not get tangled in those ropes!
MSNBC — I saw this issue yesterday and thought "Yeh, right." Drumpf is a serial liar, and as such, he has zero credibility with me. His sheeple might choose to believe his BS, but not me. Just on the very off chance that he was stupid enough to not know what was going on, this is a clear indication that he is not fit to be POTUS. Watch him dance and try to deflect controversy back to Clinton this coming week. He has more controversies in his background that render him unfit than Clinton has.
Daily Kos — Does this really surprise anyone? I hope this gets back to the IRS and they slap him silly in the wallet, not to mention, send him to the Big House, and I don't mean the White House. Among other things, Drumpf has zero credibility!
The New Yorker — I wonder if Gary Johnson knows that Aleppo is the capital of East Korea.
Cartoon — Republican anything = America screwed!
Claiming tax deductions when there were no actual donations? No wonder Trump does not want to release his tax returns!
Enjoy your Wendy day and the ellipsoid orb. Kentucky lost again today, can't wait for basketball.
MSNBC: I watched this episode, and I agree with Rachel, he is an idiot and not fit to be president.
Daily Kos: Since they have proof of his fraud, will he be prosecuted? I doubt it. The last time I got my taxes done by a particular widely advertised company, they made a huge mistake and I got a bill for $18,000.00. It took me four months to clear this up, and a lot of aggrevation and fear. Why should he skate?
The New Yorker: Andy is sooo funny.
Cartoon: Yes, indeed, and they won't provide birth control either.
OH MY GOD!!! "He didn't know that it would be on Russian TV"!!! If that was HILLARY, we would NEVER hear the end of it!!! I cannot believe how he gets away with this CRAP!!! I agree with you, TC!!
Johnson is a disaster walking!
Love the cartoon!!!
Sorry about another sleepless night; no amount of catnaps can compensate for a good night's sleep, TomCat. Are your scanner problems recent ones, i.e. after the cat box got cleaned, or are they post Windows 10? Hope you get it fixed soon so you can enjoy watching the game as a clean feline.
MSNBC: Rachel didn't believe Drumpf's excuse for one moment, she literally put her tongue in her cheek and referred to her laughing colleague behind the screen. My screen started dripping with her sarcasm, so there's no need to disagree with her, TomCat. You're both on the same page when saying he's a dangerous idiot not fit to be let anywhere near the White House.
DK: So another 5 charities are added to te long list of groups and people who say Drumpf is a fraud and has lied to the IRS about his donations. No wonder he won't come out with his tax returns. And what is the IRS going to do about this criminal tax fraud, wait till he's president and then wave it because he is? If the Clinton name was on these returns, it would have been leaked months ago and there would have been another committee after her blood. The double standards in America are getting ludicrous and nauseating.
TNY: Thank you for putting Andy's hilarious parody last, TomCat; after all of the above I needed a roll on the floor from laughter.
Cartoon: The only fix they know off.
Thanks all! Exhausted hugs!
