Podcast
45* has delivered on exactly none of his big promises:
It's the weekend - time for the best little podcast on the prairie.
- Repeal Obamacare
- Build the wall and have Mexico pay for it
- Defund Planned Parenthood
And do we wanna talk about how the GOP's TaxScam2017® carried a provision that included a stealth tax on churches and charities in order to prop up private corporations?
It's the weekend - time for the best little podcast on the prairie.

It Gets Worse
RawStory:
The Houston Chronicle reports that Tillerson opened up about his working relationship with Trump during a public appearance in Houston on Thursday evening.
In particular, Tillerson said that the president quickly grew tired of hearing that he couldn’t take certain actions because they would be illegal.
“So often, the president would say, ‘Here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it,'” Tillerson explained. “And I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law.'”
Tillerson said that he advised Trump to lobby Congress to change certain laws if they interfered with what he wanted to do, but the president mostly just got angry with him.
Two things here
- Tillerson confirms the worst-kept secret ever: This is a Pay-To-Play system, and all you really need is to find a Coin-Operated Politician who can get legislation passed that allows you to do the shitty thing you want to do.
- Things are pretty fucking bad when Rex Tillerson is your moral compass.
Fake lord have mercy.

I do wonder though - is it customary to carry an ax while ice skating in Sweden?

What he said.
Giuliani makes a fool of himself about every second tweet.— BallsOut 🌊 (@bjcreigh) December 6, 2018
He’s old. He’s doddering. I almost feel bad for him.
And by “almost feel bad for him” I mean “fuck that asshat”.

Overheard Today
...at Poppy's funeral:
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who wonder if Trump's dog will curl up and lie down next to his casket, and those who say, "No - Pence will still be in prison".

And The Magic Begins
Last nite was Bummernacht, the last day of Frank Zappa's earthly tour.
And today begins the annual celebration of Zappadan, a time of mystery and magic and the vague sense of dread that all the wrong people are watching and listening to be sure all the right people stay in their assigned places.
And it culminates with the rebirth of the sun - and freedom - on December 21st.
