Maureen Dowd asks: Will the Blowhards Blow Us Up? By Geniusofdespair

Dowd says we have a couple of " chubby brats with big missiles and short fuses". And, she said, that "Pyongyang goaded Trump with this nutty line":

"We consider the U.S. no more than a lump which we can beat to jelly any time."

Well said!

On to Marco Rubio....

Venezuela is very angry at him. Instead of taking care of his constituents voting right on healthcare to preserve affordable pre-existing coverage, he is meddling in no win politics in Venezuela. Well the Miami Herald now said  "Powerful Venezuelan lawmaker may have issued death order against Rubio" Diosdado Cabello to name names. I don't wish Rubio dead but what the hell is he doing entangled in Venezuela? LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS MARCO!

On Alt Right (euphemism for White Supremacist/Neo Nazi's) Violence and Hate Speak in Virginia....

Donald Trump talks of violence on all sides instead on denouncing the hate speech that occurred.  Even David Duke, the former grand wizard of the KKK acknowledged that the Alt Right supported Trump and he wanted to be sure to remind him of that:

“We are determined to take our country back. We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in, that’s why we voted for Donald Trump. Because he said he’s going to take our country back. That’s what we gotta do.”

Exactly from whom are we taking our country back? As far as I can tell the United State is run by Republicans so maybe that is what David Duke means. I would like to take back our country from the selfish party.

The Daily Stormer (Neo-Nazi website) had this to say about the dead woman, killed by the Neo Nazi man driving the car:

The woman killed in yesterday’s road rage incident has been identified as Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old overweight slob with no children.

Here’s five fat facts you need to know.

1) She was Fat and a Drain on Society
Despite feigned outrage by the media, most people are glad she is dead, as she is the definition of uselessness. A 32-year-old woman without children is a burden on society and has no value. - cut -

Dear White Supremacists: Move to Canada's West Coast and you will avoid African Americans. I only counted 10 in Vancouver (I counted because this one minority was noticeably missing, although there were many Asians) and they might have been tourists. I passed thousands of people on the streets. However, it will be hard to find a place without women who are a "drain on society."

You Crazy MF's just might start hating the Asians and leave Women, Blacks and Jews alone. Don't go to the East Coast of Canada, I hear they might be letting in the Haitians Trump has blocked from entering the "lump that can be beat to jelly".

Anyway, love you all (not really) but I just returned and need to do stuff. After walking on a melting slushy glacier, fed by a receding ice field, and experiencing 90 degree temperatures in the high altitudes of the Canadian Rockies, and swimming in a glacial lake,  I have to rethink things.
