It’s a little cooler with the forecast high in the mid 80°s, but the building is still superheated. Store to Door delivered groceries. I unpacked and put them away. WWWendy comes this evening, and it won’t be a minute too soon. I stink. Happy Hump Day, but no humping Trump unless you are a foreign dictator.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:08 (average 8:31). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Liberal Redneck – Vlad n Donnie 2gether 4ever
I love Trey, but he missed a third possibility. Trump wants Putin’s ongoing help to transform the US government into a mirror image of Putin’s Russia, and to team with Russia to dominate the world. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From YouTube (Late Show Channel): The Fly On The Wall At The Trump-Putin Meeting
That may be close to what happened. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From Axios: Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) is the U.S. Congressman named in Monday’s FBI affidavit against Russian national Maria Butina, which alleges Rohrabacher was part of a 2015 delegation that traveled to Moscow and planned to meet with a Russian official widely believed to be Alexander Torshin, reports The Daily Beast.
Why it matters: Torshin, who has been described as a "godfather" in a Russian organized crime syndicate, has been under FBI investigation for potentially funneling money through the NRA to help President Trump win the 2016 election. The notoriously pro-Russia Rohrabacher did not deny being the congressman referenced in the document, but said that the charge against Maria Butina is "bogus," according to Politico.
Is that treason? I wonder how many Republican Ammosexuals realize that the NRA is knowingly being used as a Russian front to funnel money to Republicans? Would they care? RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

6:09 What a strange average! Must have attracted a lot of people who don’t normally play, is all I can think. TC, you just be glad it’s a dawg and not a real griffin.
A feel-good story, because we all need one.
And … a new Randy Rainbow … because we all need it.

Redneck – Oh, yes, and I would go with Door Number Three. He doesn’t realize that he would STILL be only a puppet – or that he would be in constant imminent danger of nerve poison!
Colbert – Very funny! But I’m sure the Kompromat is worse than any peepee tape could be.
Axios – That definitely makes sense. Rohrabacher has been pretty openly pro-Russian and working with Russia for years.
Cartoon – Yuppers.
I don’t have cable TV (only internet), so I watch the main evening news shows – and bounce from ABC, CBS to NBC (besides alphabetical, it also happens to be the order of my preference). And Mr. Carr getting a car made it on all three networks!
It choked me up a little bit.
I’m so glad it did! And that even the MSM realized we needed a lift!
Joanne, you are so right! I REALLY, REALLY, needed me some Randy Rainbow!!!!
I think both Gilbert and Sullivan are spinning in their graves – but not with anger – with laughing!
Randy Rainbow is true genius!!!
Good ?
TCC: Right with ya, Trey! High Five!
LSC: Taking a guess here….’sex, lies, vidoetape’, or a Combo of everything he’s done and owes BIGLY $$ too? Putin’s got Don’T by the balls, imho.
Axios: Read about this, this a.m. Follow the money…seems like Rohrabacher is pretty flippant about this too.
Cartoon: Word.
Hi, WWWendy! Hope that you have a relaxing evening. Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*Joanne,Such a great story about Mr. Carr, how wonderful! RR is just the best, isn’t he? He sings so well !!
tRump is not a stable genius – he is a stabled traitor!
LSC: PeePee tape! Oh my! At least some being in that room had a sense of decency!
Axios: I want to hear from a fly In Mueller’s office!!!!!!!!
‘Toon: right out of the “Albeit Macht Frei!” playbook!!!!!!
Right out of Orwell’s 1984.
I’m with #4: It’s all about following the money…to Russia!
When you’re tired Drumpf news makes all you aches and pains a little bit worse. It’s so depressing and bloody ridiculous at the same time. Wish it was November for several reasons.
Puzzle — 3:58 No dawg fricassée for you tonight Puddy Tat!!!
Trae Crowder — Telling it like it is! Unfortunately, he’s correct . . . the ones that need to see and ponder his questions are the ones that won’t! He is spot on!!!
The Late Show — “Oh my. Those poor bedbugs!” — LMAO!!! A fly on the wall indeed!
Axios — Rohrabacher should be investigated and charged with unamerican activities, and in November, he should be ousted from the Congress. The FBI should be investigating the NRA, especially the financials. The NRA may have started out as an American institution, but somewhere along the line it was hijacked . . . probably by power and greed.
Cartoon — Very Republican! Would not surprise me if Republicans arose in the morning, put their hands over their “hearts” and recited this. Same thing at night before going to bed.
Dang! I wanted to make Dawgie con Carne!
Thanks all! Hugs!!
