This is the guy with a direct line to the new president. He also was the one who first triggered a wave of his drones to harass and threaten the parents of the small children gunned down at Sandy Hook. All in all he is the perfect icon of what a Trumpist looks like and how it behaves, Fascinating read:

It's afternoon, and Jones is walking through the studio, his adrenaline level high and his blood sugar low. He needs to get something to eat. Platters of BBQ - chicken, beef and sausages - are set out on a table in the conference room. "Good barbecue," says Jones. "You tasted it already?"

He piles up food onto a plastic plate, and then he suddenly takes off his shirt without explanation. With his bare torso, he sits there and shovels meat into his mouth, a caricature of manliness, but also a show of power to the reporter sitting in front of him. He can do as he pleases.

Then Jones gets up and holds out a sausage. "Wanna suck?" he asks.

Yes, absolutely perfect for the new age.

Two software engineers of East Indian descent are gunned down in a Kansas bar by deadbeat Trump nutter on a racist tirade demanding to know what visa they were on and to get out of 'his' country.

Like the mosque shooting in Quebec, Trump, who finds time to speak out about SNL and Meryl Streep, says nothing until today, six days later, releasing a generic statement uttered through a lower-level spokesperson.

Behold the "tears are delicious" crowd at work.

Goof with "certificate" from a steakhouse gets exposed as a goof. You cannot make this stuff up.

Iowa state Sen. Mark Chelgren (R) was forced to backtrack on claims that he received a college “degree” after his alma mater was revealed to be the operator of a Sizzler steak house franchise.

NBC News reported on Wednesday that Chelgren’s “business degree” came under scrutiny due to a bill he is sponsoring which would limit the number of liberal professors that state universities could hire.

Iowa State Republicans spokesperson Ed Failor admitted to NBC News that Chelgren did not actually hold a formal degree even though the Senate Republicans’ website said otherwise. The website has since updated his biography to remove references to the “degree.”

“This was a management course he took when he worked for Sizzler, kind of like Hamburger University at McDonald’s,” Failor explained. “He got a certificate.”

Chelgren insisted that he was not trying to deceive voters.

“This was not an attempt to inflate anything,” he remarked. “I didn’t concern myself about this, honestly.”

The Senate Republicans’ website states that the lawmaker “attended the University of California at Riverside majoring in astro-physics, geo-physics and mathematics.”

Chelgren said that he attended the school for three years but did not receive a degree. But University spokesman John Warren told NBC News that there was only a record of him attending for one year, from 1992 to 1993.

The Iowa Republican dismissed the discrepancy by saying that he had also attended “Riverside Community College.”

Chelgren’s Senate File 288 would require that state universities determine the party affiliation of professors and then implement a hiring freeze until there are no more than 10 percent more Democrats than Republicans or vice versa.

Chelgren has said that he based the bill on his own experiences with “liberal professors.”

Twitter's having a lot of fun with this one. Comments like "with DeVos in charge of education a certificate from Sizzler might be worth more than a diploma a couple years from now" and "this guy's basically calling for Affirmative Action hiring for Republicans". Best one I saw so far was " a Sizzler certificate is still more legit than anything anyone who graduated from Trump University ever got". Fuckin-A.

Congressman Scott DesJarlais, the pro-life, all-family values Tennessee Republican who cheated on his wife and then pressured his mistress to have an abortion, voted this week in favor of a federal 2o-week abortion ban. DesJarlais’ spokesperson said the congressman has “always supported pro-life values”—except, of course, when they might negatively impact his life.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that DesJarlais was one of 242 House members to vote in favor of the 2o-week ban. The paper also pointed out that DesJarlais’s wife had two abortions before they were married, which DesJarlais supported. Later on, DesJarlais, a doctor, had an affair with a patient, another great family values move. When she told him she was pregnant, he both told her to have an abortion and refused to go with her. He later said all that was cool because “there was no pregnancy and no abortion.”

A spokesperson for DesJarlais told the Free Press, “Congressman DesJarlais was proud to vote in favor of this legislation,” adding that he maintained a “100 percent pro-life voting record” during his five years in Congress. Significantly better than his track record in reality.

Dumbass health-care-hating GOP senator makes stupid joke about cutting mammograms from government health coverage, gets roasted by internet:

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/what-a- ... -coverage/

$1:

Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) has issued a hasty apology after he made a joke that made light of women potentially losing mammogram coverage as part of Republicans’ proposed health care legislation.

The trouble for Roberts started when Talking Points Memo reporter Alice Ollstein asked him on Thursday whether he was concerned about the Republican bill potentially cutting out Essential Health Benefits regulations that force insurers to offer coverage for basics such as emergency room visits, prescription drugs, and preventative services, including mammograms and colonoscopies.

“I wouldn’t want to lose my mammograms,” Roberts replied sarcastically, with the inference being that he wasn’t worried about losing a benefit that he personally would never use.

Best responses:

do I not have a right to life? Or is it only when I'm a fetus. Healthcare is life

You regret getting caught. No one says that by accident. You're not worthy of the honor of representing US citizens.

All you regret is that people are holding you accountable for your ugly words. (p.s. men get breast cancer too)

Just this week I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer found only by mammogram. What a cruel man you are.

Is there a form I can submit to stop paying for your healthcare?

What a dickhead. I guess even years after the boy leaves the frat-house the frat-house mentality lingers on inside the boy.

Two black women sue Fox News executive, network for racial harassment

By Brendan O'Brien and Daniel Wiessner

(Reuters) - Two black employees of Fox News have accused a white executive of racial harassment and the cable network of ignoring their claims of discrimination in a lawsuit filed in New York City.

Fox payroll employees Tichaona Brown and Tabrese Wright claimed that Judith Slater, the former senior vice president of accounting and comptroller, ridiculed and mocked them based on their race on several occasions, according to the lawsuit filed in New York state court in the Bronx on Tuesday.

The women said they "and other dark-skinned employees suffered years-long relentless racial animus" working under Slater. The network fired Brown and demoted Wright after learning they would not settle the complaint, according to the lawsuit.

A Fox News spokeswoman said Slater was fired last month in response to the complaints, and that Brown is still employed by the network. Wright was transferred to a different department this week, she said, but not demoted.

"We take complaints of this nature very seriously and took prompt and effective remedial action before Ms. Brown and Ms. Wright sued in court and even before Ms. Wright complained through her lawyer," the spokeswoman said.

"There is no place for inappropriate verbal remarks like this at Fox News," the spokeswoman added. "We are disappointed that this needless litigation has been filed."

The suit came six months after Fox News, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, settled a sexual harassment suit by former anchor Gretchen Carlson for $20 million. Carlson's allegations led to the resignation of network chief Roger Ailes, who abruptly ended his 20-year rein over the profitable and powerful cable news channel.

Brown and Wright said Slater made various racist statements, including mocking stereotypically black speech, claimed black men are "women beaters" and regularly expressed her fear of black people.

On one occasion, Slater asked Wright, a mother of three, if her children "were fathered by the same man," according to the lawsuit.

They also said executives at Fox News and Twenty-First Century Fox ignored repeated complaints against Slater.

In addition to creating a racially hostile work environment, the women accused the network of unequal pay and opportunities for advancement because of their race, in violation of New York state law. They are seeking unspecified damages.

Tea Party AND a Trumpkin? With a well-balanced and sensitive personality like that what could possible have gone wrong here?

A former judge now serving as a school board member in suburban Cincinnati has been charged with felony human trafficking of a minor, felony inducing a minor to engage in sex and a third count of giving alcohol to a minor. The indictment was obtained by River City News publisher Michael Monks, who described Nolan as an, “outspoken and controversial” political figure.

Judge Tim Nolan of California, Kentucky represents District 5 on the Campbell County School Board. Yesterday afternoon he was lead into court wearing handcuffs as the “perp walk” was filmed by the local CBS station.

News anchor Cammy Dierking of WKRC described Judge Nolan as an, “outspoken supporter of the local Tea Party.”

The sex trafficking allegedly occurred in August 2016 — while Judge Nolan was serving as the chair of the Donald Trump campaign in Campbell County, KY. Trump beat Hillary Clinton 59% to 35% in the county while voters also elected Nolan.

In April of 2016, Nolan unsuccessfully attempted to remove Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as a delegate to the RNC Convention. Between fighting Senator McConnell in April and the alleged crimes in August, Nolan was appointed by Governor Matt Bevin to the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission, but was removed only days later when a scandal erupted over a Ku Klux Klan photo posted to Nolan’s Facebook.

Unlike Republican Governor Bevin, the Trump Campaign chose not to drop Judge Nolan after the KKK scandal.
