Funny, isn’t it, that the only politicians “with a good set of balls” are women?

“If you give these bastards an inch they’ll take a mile,” infallible Rockwall County Sheriff Harold Eavenson told Precedent Bannon and his place-holder aide and noted legal scholar, HaarFührer, in a private White House meeting. “The next thing they’ll want is due process! Due process!! Pfft.”

“I know,” Bannon replied. “They’re preternaturally ungrateful.”

“Should I agree now?” HaarFührer wondered, looking up from his Android.

She’s nothing to anybody outside of Texas. Here right now she’s a vote in the right spot.

All we have are batshit GOP with a sprinkling of Democrats which we keep adding to slowly. But since that’s all we have to work with, I’ll take it every day and twice on Sunday if one wants to vote the right way for a change.

It’s true. The whole rationale behind “civil forfeiture” – that asset forfeiture is remedial rather than punitive – defies logic. How is taking someone’s house not punitive?

It’s all over twitter. Search on “Nevertheless she persisted”, that’s the best page. It’s full of great pictures that I can’t post here.

The Trump trolls are on “she persisted” for some reason.

How did Trump survive so long in a 'Leadership" role. Certainly not by following

LEADERSHIP

The activity of leading a group of people or an organization or the ability to do this.

Leadership involves:

  1. establishing a clear vision - week three (WTF?)

  2. sharing that vision with others so that they will follow willingly,(RESIST?)

  3. providing the information, knowledge and methods to realize that vision, (DAILY PRESS BRIEFING)
    coordinating (TWEET STORM) and balancing the conflicting interests of all members and stakeholders.(FAKE NEWS)

  4. A leader steps up in times of crisis, and is able to think and act creatively in difficult situations.(STILL WAITING)

Unlike management, leadership cannot be taught, although it may be learned and enhanced through coaching or mentoring. (PLEASE BARACK, HELP ME -WE ARE FRIENDS, RIGHT?)

Actually I pointed this out yesterday to a Trump Supporter, he definitely pissed at Trump.

My younger sister, who lives in Kansas and is a devout Republican (poor thing) is so pissed about DeVos that she is calling her Reps and Senators before the vote and even after. This maybe a sign that even those in Kansas might be fed up.

But then again, my pet unicorn ate my garden.

Rockwall Co. is on the Eastern edge of Dallas and IH30 runs right through the middle of it. That sheriff’s deputies are out paTrolling that extremely busy hwy 24/7, stopping anyone in the least suspicious and looking for a reason to confiscate whatever they can. No wonder he’s upset at Burton’s proposal … as are his bosses, the County Judge & Commissioners.

LFP-TX … LEOs FOR PROFIT- TEXAS !

The Rockwall cops are notorious. They hassle young drivers all the time, too.

It’s just a GOP town in a GOP county. You know, assholes.
