Oops
So, Eric Trump has been selling a cool new red hat, with the acronym LOPA, which he intended to mean "leave our president alone" - anywhere from $18 to about $40 online.

Amazingly beautiful - and bittersweet, as I can only wish it didn't remind me of what we're in the process of losing.

The Search Continues
Republicans on Capitol Hill are still trying to come up with something that gets them off the hook once they've screwed the pooch (and the world) by letting 45* off the hook at the Senate impeachment trial.

Donald Trump will never be who House Republicans want him to be. He’s telling us all who he really is, if we have the courage to listen. pic.twitter.com/NZLAz8tD10— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) December 13, 2019
Today's Fuckin' Wack-Doodle
Kayla Epstein, WaPo:
Matt Bevin is no longer the governor of Kentucky, but his decisions continued to send shock waves through the state’s legal system this week after he issued pardons for hundreds of people, some of whom committed violent offenses.
Bevin issued 428 pardons since his defeat to Democrat Andy Beshear in a close election in November, the Louisville Courier Journal reported. His list includes a man convicted of reckless homicide, a convicted child rapist, a man who murdered his parents at age 16 and a woman who threw her newborn in the trash after giving birth in a flea market outhouse.
He also pardoned Dayton Jones, who was convicted in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy at a party, Kentucky New Era reported.
It is not unusual for governors to issue pardons as they leave office, but Bevin’s actions boggled some of the state’s attorneys, who questioned his judgment.
“What this governor did is an absolute atrocity of justice,” said Commonwealth Attorney Jackie Steele, a prosecutor for Knox and Laurel counties. “He’s put victims, he’s put others in our community in danger.”
And the kicker:
“I’m a big believer in second chances,” Bevin said in a message left with The Washington Post on Thursday afternoon. “I think this is a nation that was founded on the concept of redemption and second chances and new pages in life.”
Can you say, "What a crock of shit that is"? I knew you could.
Outside of when they're taking about themselves and their god-knobber buddies, when was the last time you heard any Republican touting the value of giving anybody a second chance at anything - especially when the topic is crime and prison and shit?
There's something else at work here, and I'm gonna let the paranoia fly - I think it's a weird variation on Daddy State Awareness rule 3:
Every prediction of some dire consequence is a threat of the pain they intend to cause - or a signal that they’re already causing that pain - in an attempt to coerce us to do what they want.First, I'll go ahead and say Bevins isn't actually mentally ill - no more than the usual pathologies that beset "conservatives" anyway.
So second, what Bevins is doing is planting time bombs that he figures will explode somewhere down the road "on the Democrats' watch".
The main point is that he's sending a signal. ie: "You rejected me and now I will rain fire and fury down upon you. So don't do that again - we don't mind making it worse."
Alternate: Matt Bevins is guilty of some really bad shit and he's trying to soften things up a little so it doesn't land quite so heavily on his pointy little head when it comes out.
Editorials
This, of course, will be spun at DumFux news as proof of how evil and corrupt the Lugenpresse is.
And, just as of course-y, the Press Poodles are likely to be in perfect chorus as they fill their air time with "Are these editorial boards playing right into the hands of Trump's GOP?"
via Business Insider:
The Los Angeles Times:
"The evidence produced over the last two months is more than sufficient to persuade us that he should be impeached ... Trump flagrantly abused the power of his office."
The Boston Globe:
"The question before the country now is whether President Trump's misconduct is severe enough that Congress should exercise that impeachment power, less than a year before the 2020 election. The results of the House Intelligence Committee inquiry, released to the public on Tuesday, make clear that the answer is an urgent yes."
The New York Daily News:
"The House Intelligence Committee presents a coherent and compelling case for impeachment ... There may be no single, smoking gun, but there's ample acrid black stuff rising from the White House."
The Chicago Sun-Times:
"The president compromised our nation's best interests for pure political self-profit, as baldly as a Chicago alderman holding up a zoning change for a bribe. Trump has brought impeachment upon himself."
