You've Got to Be Kidding?

Trump Hires Two New Attorneys After His Entire Legal Team Quits:  After former President Donald Trump and his entire legal team abruptly parted ways a little over a week before his February 9th trial, due to his insistence on arguing the 2020 election was stolen from him, Donald Trump announced that attorneys David Schoen and Bruce Castor will now head up his legal team for his second impeachment trial. Wow, first he tells aides not to pay Rudy’s legal fees, and now his entire impeachment legal team quits on him?  Hell, if he keeps this nonsense up, about the only legal representation he’ll be able to find - will be LegalZoom.   Of course, Trump being Trump, he naturally thinks he’s “twice as smart as anyone else,” so if he is forced to testify, expect him to try to “take the tenth” - not the “fifth.”  After all, “taking a fifth,” sounds more like something alcoholics would do, not big-shot billionaires. One thing’s for sure, you can bet Trump’s impeachment tri...

Anti-Vax COVID-19 Truthers Shut Down Dodger Stadium Vaccination Site:   Dodger Stadium’s mass COVID-19 vaccination site - one of the largest in the country, with 12,000 vaccinations daily - had to be temporarily shut down Saturday afternoon, after an angry mob of anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, and far-right activists gathered at the entrance, stalling thousands of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours to get their coronavirus vaccinations. Now, in their defense, these folks must have felt they had a really important message they needed to convey, otherwise, they would never have left their cozy trailer parks on such a rainy day, and headed all the way over to Dodger Stadium - with no possibility whatsoever of purchasing one of those delicious “Dodger Dogs” they sell at LA Dodger games.   Shortly thereafter, just to let these super-patriots know that they’re not alone, the anti-vaxxer zealots were greeted with the warmest communication from a dear old friend,...

Lawsuit Claims Subway Tuna Sandwich Has No Tuna:   NBC News is reporting that a lawsuit that’s been filed in U.S. District Court in Northern California, claims that the ingredient billed as “tuna” for the Subway chain’s sandwiches and wraps, contains no tuna at all.   That conclusion, based upon independent lab tests, which found that the “tuna” is actually “a mixture of various concoctions that do not constitute tuna,” that are all blended together by Subway - in an attempt to “imitate” the appearance of tuna. So, if I’m understanding this lawsuit correctly, they’re alleging that what Subway is selling is what can only be described as the “Melania Trump of tuna sandwiches?”  Now, I’m certainly no chemist, but judging from taste alone, my guess is that Subway “tuna” is actually a hearty combination of approximately 35% mayo, 32% salt, and 33% IAMS Hairball & Indoor Weight Control Cat Food. Now, for those of you thinking this is just another frivolous lawsuit, remem...

Trump Made No Plans for Administering COVID Vaccine As Americans Died:  As many millions of Americans wonder why they are unable to get COVID vaccinations, they really need to look no further than former President Donald Trump and his administration.   It’s being reported that even as the coronavirus tore its way throughout the land, well on its way to killing nearly a half-million Americans, Donald Trump never even bothered to develop a workable vaccine distribution plan for the nation. Well, to be completely fair, Trump was rather preoccupied with other really pressing matters - such as his own re-election.  After all, there are only so many hours in the day, and when most of those are taken up with watching One America News (OAN), Newsmax, and Fox News - who the hell has time for planning vaccine distributions?  Hell, no one likes getting shots anyway!  What’s the big deal?  Besides, those blue states that voted against him needed to be taught a lesso...

Oklahoma Trying To Return Its $2M Stockpile Of Hydroxychloroquine:   The Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office has been unsuccessfully attempting to return their $2 million stockpile of malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to their supplier, a drug once touted by former President Trump and Fox News as a treatment for the coronavirus.   At the time of the purchase, Gov. Kevin Stitt claimed the drug was an effective treatment for Covid-19, but critics say his decision to purchase was really based upon trying to curry favor with Donald Trum Wow, as Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi would have likely put it - “No refunds for you!”   That said, all is not lost.   Look, hydroxychloroquine is a malaria drug, after all, so all Oklahoma needs to do - is simply import millions of malaria-infected mosquitos into Oklahoma, then release them into the general population, and now you’ve got the very drug needed to treat it - right on hand.   Pure genius!   And then, when the malaria thre...

Tucker Carlson and Hawaii GOP Defend QAnon Supporters:   This past week, both the Hawaii Republican Party and Fox News host Tucker Carlson, took to the airwaves and social media to defend QAnon supporters.   QAnon people are folks who believe that a secret cabal of Satan-worshiping, cannibalistic pedophiles are running a global child sex-trafficking ring lead by Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and various Hollywood celebrities, plotting against former President Donald Trump, who has been fighting the cabal.   On his highly-rated Fox News TV show, Carlson portrayed QAnon folks as “patriots who are largely motivated by a sincere and deep love for America, who are victims of left-wing media persecution and denied basic civil liberties.” I completely understand Trucker’s point about the dangers of QAnon persecution.  Why, without QAnon - how would we have ever known about the hazards of those microscopic 5G antennas Bill Gates snuck into the coronavirus vaccine - or the ...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders to Run for Governor of Arkansas:   The New York Times reports that former Trump White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, plans to announce she will be running for governor of Arkansas - making her the first person from Trump’s orbit to announce their candidacy.   A bid that will put the former president’s political strength to the test, in a divided Republican Party. Now admittedly, my first reaction to her announcement was pure, abject horror - but then I thought “wait a minute!”  When a person who’s nationally known for telling nothing but lies, tells you she's running for governor, doesn’t that actually mean - she’s not really running for governor?  Why, this whole idea is completely crazy.  I mean, isn’t The 700 Club hiring? Of course, the truth be known, if she does decide to run, she’ll have no problem getting all the votes she wants, given that most everyone living in Arkansas are basically cousins anyway, and relat...
