UPDATE of: Losing Count of All the Looneys in the Deep End

SEE ADDENDUM at the END

I was actually going to take a day off.  But this afternoon I came across some Tweets from pro-Trump attorney L. Lin Wood that are so amazing I feel forced to share them.

We all know that Wood and his sidekick, Sidney Powell, are conspiracy theory creators extraordinaire, but Wood has taken it to a whole new level.  I’ll let you decide if you think Wood is certifiably insane after reviewing his latest “revelations”.

Some background first: As you might know, Wood gained fame back in 1996 by successfully defending Richard Jewell who was wrongly suspected of setting off the bomb at the Atlanta Olympics.

Today his roster of extremely polarizing clients includes Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon hoax supporter who was recently elected to Congress; Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who pointed their weapons at demonstrators outside their mansion; and Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager charged with fatally shooting two protesters in Kenosha, WI.

So it comes as no surprise that he’s an avid supporter of Trump.  But what I learned today that has me shaking my head in disbelief – not only that he’s saying it, but some Trumpkins are buying it.

  • Chief Justice John Roberts, at the minimum, knew Justice Antonin Scalia was going to die beforehand, and might have been involved in his death
  • Chief Just Roberts is a pedophile who trades minor children to join pedophile clubs
  • Jeffrey Epstein is still alive

Yep, we’ve sunk that far!  It almost makes Trump’s hare-brained schemes to subvert our election sound sane … ALMOST!

A couple of more questions for Chief Justice John Roberts:

(1) You are recorded discussing Justice Scalia’s successor before date of his sudden death. How did you know Scalia was going to die?

(2) Are you a member of any club or cabal requiring minor children as initiation fee?

And when the replies to that Tweet indicated some didn’t believe him, Wood came back with this retort yesterday:

I am fully aware of the onslaught of attacks being made against me based on my revelations about Chief Justice John Roberts. Before attacking me, maybe fair-minded people would first ask Roberts to tell the truth.

Or ask Jeffrey Epstein. He is alive.

And you thought Looney Louie Gohmert was crazy when he filed his lawsuit claiming that VP Pence has sole discretion to decide who will be the next president.  What a piker compared to L Lin Wood!  And that’s saying a lot when Gohmert comes in second place in a “Who’s Stupidest” contest.

FILE THIS UNDER: “You Can’t Make This $hit Up”

It appears it will be impossible to try to keep up with the CRAY-CRAY of Lin Wood.  Because now he’s calling for Pence to be arrested for treason, jailed, tried, convicted and face the firing squad!

If Pence is arrested, @SecPompeo will save the election. Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason. He will face execution by firing squad. He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL.

And if you had any concerns about his sanity, he responded that he’s just fine, thank you very much.

The tweets about my insanity are at an all time [sic] high this morning. Wonder why?

No worries. I am fine. The attacks do not concern me.

And this is the lawyer Trump believes will save him?!?

Lord have mercy.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox as Store to Door is bringing a double-order of groceries since they will be closed next week for Thanksgiving.  I have a lot to unpack and put away.  Tomorrow, please expect no more than Personal Update.  It’s a full WWWendy day, and we have much to do.  I hope you all have a fine day.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:16 (average 4:58).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Cartoon:

Short Takes:

From Daily Kos: Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert has made quite a name for himself around these parts and others. Now the House Republican is jumping with both feet into suggesting that, well, maybe if Donald Trump didn’t win the election maybe it’s time for his Republican voters to rise up and end American democracy, period.

As reported by the Dallas Morning News, Gohmert claimed to a “Million MAGA March” audience near the White House that “this was a cheated election and we can’t let it stand.” He spoke of the American revolution and the Egyptian uprising: “They rose up though all over Egypt, and as a result of the people rising up in the greatest numbers in history,” he said, and “if they can do that there, think of what we can do here.”

And in perhaps what passed for an acknowledgement that an armed coup by red hat-wearing bozos would be, ahem, unpopular with the general public, Gohmert was quick to point out that “only about 30%” of American colonists supported that previous revolution. You don’t need a majority in these matters, after all. You just need enough ammunition.

I’m not at all surprised that the guilty party is Louie “Go Go Goose Step” Gomerde. However, it’s hard to find a Republican that would not plug into GOP Nazism.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Ex-Pres. Trump On Trial? Why It’s Not Biden’s Call

 

I fully agree. Biden should have nothing to do with it, one way or the other. His job, with respect to DOJ, is to provide them the means to do their job. That’s ALL!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast of unity): The Briar Rose Ramblers – “We Are One” (Live in a Living Room, 11-29-2015)

 

Amen! We are one! As such, those who would divide us, the Republican Reich, are against us all!  RESIST!!

61 Days Until the Big FLUSH!!

Sunday Smiles: Tweets to Hopefully Tickle Your Funny Bone

 Posted by at 7:59 pm  Politics

No doubt we’ve all hit our “funny bone” at one time or another.  So what is your “funny bone”?  Well, actually it’s not a bone – it’s a nerve.  Specifically the ulnar that runs from your neck to your hand.  And like most nerves it’s protected by bones, muscles & ligaments.

BUT when it passes through the elbow in the cubital canal at the end of the humerus (humerus – “humorous” … get it?) it’s only protected by skin.  So when you bump it you experience that trifecta of numbness, tingling and PAIN.

Always curious why they call it the “funny bone” – because there’s nothing “funny” about it.  I just like puns.

(If you’re wondering why it’s so late, it’s because my relatives unexpectedly stopped over this afternoon for a surprise visit to enjoy a break in the weather from the oppressive heat we’ve been suffering through.  Being the good host that I am, we all enjoyed a few libations.  “And a good time was had by all….”)

On to the hopefully “humorous” part.

I’ve curated a few Tweets the tickled my “funny bone” (humerus – “humorous” … get it?).

The first captures a question I’ve actually long wondered about:

 Next are the McCloskeys – the Bonnie & Clyde couple of the uber-rich in St. Louis.  Not that threateningly waving around a AR-15 rifle and a semiautomatic handgun is particularly amusing – but I found this likely conversation pretty funny:

It’s not all that often that a typo, especially from the prestigious BBC, is both accurate AND entertaining – but it perfectly pegs that UK right-wing Brexiter Nigel Farage perfectly:

And for all the Trumpkin idiots who refuse to wear a mask – but think actual TRUE Patriots wearing a mask will protect them … a lesson they might actually understand:

It’s NEVER a good idea to use ominous video clips from YOUR tenure to try and cast blame on your opponent:

Couldn’t pass up at least one “Pick the Elephant” Cognitive Test Tweet:

Fucker Tucker Carlson has certainly had a rough past few weeks – and deservedly so!  But I echo the poster’s sentiment: “And the downside is …?”

We’ve all read that Melania, realizing her time in the White House is limited, has decided to undertake a Rose Garden renovation.  But you’ve probably not seen a preview of her plans … yet:

Even those who might not be medically oriented, you’ll still have to wonder about this:

And staying on that medical theme – another “Is That Even Anatomically Possible?” head-scratcher.
