It's not easy being a son, Eric

By -




Now that 36-year-old Jared Kushner has been asked by his father-in-law to be his closest presidential advisor, to broker a Mideast Peace, to cure the opioid crisis, reform care to veterans, and overhaul the very workings of government (none of those jobs, incidentally, for which he is even remotely qualified), you have to wonder about poor Fredo, uh Eric.

I've always taken care of you Eric

ERIC

Taken care of me. You're my brother-in-law and you take care of me. Did you ever think about that -- did you ever once think about that? Send Eric off to play golf during the inauguration. Send Eric off to pick up some award for drinking wine! Let Eric to take care of some Mickey Mouse property in Uruguay!  Send Eric out to take a picture of his ballot. I'm his real son, Jared, and I was stepped over.

Colorado should do the right thing and stop refusing to take reasonable steps to prevent the flow of marijuana outside of its border. And the Obama administration should do its job under the Constitution and enforce the Controlled Substances Act. Until they do, Oklahoma will continue to utilize every law enforcement tool available to it to ensure that the flow of illegal drugs into our state is stopped.” Yes, because three Alpha Phi Deltas at the University of Colorado cutting their Freshman Writing Seminar to get high back at the frat house presents a clear and present danger to the good people of Oklahoma City. Pruitt, though, is a states' rights kind of guy, but apparentl...

The Best and Worst of Days

The worst part of today was AHCA failed not because Republicans in the House thought the bill too draconian, but because they thought it wasn't draconian enough. The Freedom Caucus --and for the love of Christ, we should demand back that name--thinks insurance guidelines that require health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions (and those, you know, with vaginas) and provide minimum standards for all Americans must be derailed; otherwise, it would be the banana peel on which the country slips and summersaults into socialism and decay. Donald Trump, the president, and the GOP, the majority party in America, were humiliated today and revealed, once again (if such a notice were necessary), to have no balls, no heart and no conscience; so, yeah, it was a good day, but considering he and it are not going anywhere (Trump, in facts, wants ACA to fail, to blow up, for Americans to suffer), it was also a lousy one. America won and they're not happy about it.
