What's a Seven Letter Word for 'Fat and Bitter Old Lady'

And speaking of bitter, shambling, drunken, low-class, delusional embarrassments, Hillary Clinton displayed the world famous grace and charm that she is known for by making a puerile, childish scene at the funeral of President George H.W. Bush by a half-hearted greeting to the current First Lady, and refusal to even acknowledge the presence of the President of the United States. The contrast between Melania and that barely bipedal turd-in-a-girdle by every metric of character, charm and of course beauty could not be more stark. Melania dodged a bullet; I wouldn't shake hands with Hillary. Not where that hand has been.

It's also easy to see from this image who has the balls in the Obama Family by the way they both sit.....but she can at least fake grace and respect when need be.

Famous Garage Band Leader's View of 2020 Presidential Field

Bruce Springsteen, know affectionately outside his northeastern fan base by those who wonder how he ever got famous as the World's Most Famous Mediocre Garage Band Leader, was asked by a member of the foreign press to pontificate on high American political affairs of which he is kinda-sorta an expert because he plays a guitar.  

He told the UK's Sunday Times Magazine he predicted that Donald Trump will likely be reelected for a second term because there isn’t a strong-enough Democratic challenger on the horizon at this point. Springsteen credited, or blamed, the rise in popularity of populist Trump that resulted in his becoming president on the loss of jobs, technical innovations and a rapid pace of change in the country that’s been unaddressed in the last decade. Of course he didn't mention the utter failures of the eight years his boy Barack Obama in all this though, because that wouldn't be cool.

"You can find yourself in a country that you may not feel part of, or you feel that your concerns are being dismissed. I basically think that the problem is the incredibly rapid pace of change that’s occurred in the United States that’s gone unaddressed."

"I don’t see anyone out there at the moment, man or woman who can beat Trump. You need someone who can speak some of the same language  and the Democrats don’t have an obvious, effective presidential candidate. I don’t know if I see a unifying figure on the horizon. That worries me. Because the partisanship and the country being split down the middle is something that’s gravely dangerous."

Despite the constant harangue of the media and press who have contributed mightily to the division of American politics, DJT has a proved a flair for winning over working-class voters that the Democrats can’t rival, the singer admits. In short, Trump was born to run, and from looking at the democrats clown car of hopefuls so far from Springsteen's position front mic center, he may be unstoppable.

Monday Linky Randomness

A Breeding Ground for Thoughtlessness and Contempt. Twitter is poison to American political discourse. In fact, if you set out to design a platform that would poison America’s discourse and its politics, you’d be hard pressed to come up with something more destructive than Twitter. Twitter has the flaws of the old Usenet newsgroups, but on a much bigger scale.

Worse yet, the heaviest users of Twitter are journalists and political operatives. They tend to have lots of short episodes of downtime and fill them with Twitter. There’s a big psychic reward to issuing a bon mot — usually a put-down — and being cheered for it by your friends and political allies. But the end result is a lot of off-the-cuff meanness. Few tweeters even follow the links they retweet to read beyond the headline. And spending hours a day in this environment can’t help but affect their other work.

Some say the sharp partisanship we see on Twitter from allegedly objective journalists is a useful revelation: Finally, we’re seeing their true selves. There’s much truth to that.

Al Sharpton Sells Rights to His Life Story. No,Really.

NYP - The Rev. Al Sharpton has found an eager buyer for the rights to his life story — his own charity.

The National Action Network agreed to pay the activist preacher $531,000 according to the non-profit’s latest tax filing, which was obtained by The Post. NAN can apparently turn around and sell those rights to Hollywood or other takers at a big profit, but neither the reverend nor the charity would identify what producers are waiting for such Sharpton content.

The document does not indicate when Sharpton, who is president of NAN, gets the cash, which is above and beyond the $244,661 he already pulled down in compensation from the group in 2017. Sharpton also wouldn’t say when the cash would come in.

Sharpton said he had contracts for two movies, with a third contract in the works. One of these movies is already in production, he claimed. He would not provide details of any of the projects. He said a play was being shopped around and there were other assets that would generate revenue for NAN, including a recording where James Brown is singing and he’s talking, and video footage of him with Michael Jackson.

Nonprofit experts said the transaction could be troubling because NAN — whose mission includes criminal justice reform and police accountability — was doing business with its president. If NAN paid too much it could run afoul of IRS rules regarding excess benefits given to a nonprofit’s key officials, which might put its tax-exempt status in jeopardy, Marcus Owens, a former IRS official and a partner with the Loeb & Loeb law firm in Washington, DC.

Daniel Borochoff, the head of Charity Watch, said the transaction would have been “a lot cleaner” if Sharpton sold the rights himself to a production company and then donated any profit in excess of $531,000 to NAN.

Sharpton, who hosts the “PoliticsNations” show on MSNBC, managed to pay off a chunk of his tax debt to the state and feds in the last year. He paid $172,112 to the state, but still owes $736,375 in personal income tax and taxes for three of his companies to Albany. City records show a $1.3 million tax lien to the IRS was satisfied in February, but records show he still has $2.5 million in outstanding federal liens against him and one of his companies.
