Top 10 Conservative Idiots #3-7: Wheel Of Corruption: Dead Man’s Chest Edition
Welcome back to the Top 10 Conservative Idiots! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Be sure to come to our Fun In The Summertime sales event! 1.9% financing and special cash back deals are available! We are back everybody! Whew! And we're in our brand new time slot! I love music. This is a crazy time for music isn’t it? You’ve got Phish doing that epic 13 night Bakers’ Dozen at Madison Square Garden, and here in LA, we have Metallica *AND* Portugal The Man coming to town on the same night! But man that was a rough week last week wasn’t it? Especially with the suicide of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. That sucked. Chester was a pretty good dude on all accounts and Linkin Park didn’t deserve nearly the amount of hate they got on their last couple of albums. So don’t be a hater. There’s already too many haters out there. We call them the “alt right”. But there’s a couple of musicians we can make fun of right now, right? For instance Justin Beiber got banned from China! Where Chester was a pretty good guy on all accounts, Justin Bieber is just plain awful on all accounts. Really, everything he says and does is worse than the thing he did before it. He's the Donald Trump of music. Man, why can’t we ban him here in the US too? I mean come on even Wheeler Walker Jr got banned in Australia for public indecency! The one time where you want Trump to go full dictator. “No, Justin Bieber is a good friend of mine, OK? He makes the best albums! And he gives Bill Clinton the finger!”. And now Beiber is claiming he's a son of god and is hanging out with Hillsong Church. Even hardcore Christians don't like Hillsong church. They think of them as the Scientology of Christianity - and even Hillsong is thinking that Beiber is their Tom Cruise. Really? That's who you go to? I just... really, this whole fucking week. I need to go take a vacation in an asylum. OK that’s enough of the intro this week. So normally here’s where I would show someone like Stephen Colbert or John Oliver here but instead we’re going to show some live Linkin Park music to honor the late, great Chester Bennington:
So where do we begin this week? Man there was a lot of idiocy happening. Taking the first 3 slots is of course Premier Trump. In the first slot – after the epic fail that was his healthcare plan, he is of course taking to Twitter to blast his critics and “drain the swamp” got upgraded to “drain the sewer”. In the second slot – Premier Trump (2). We’re going to introduce you to his latest hire for Communications Director, and whew, this guy is a gem. I’m of course talking about Anthony Scaramucci. Who may or may not be That Guy from the 80s episode of Futurama. In the third slot - is Premier Trump (3). In this slot I had something different planned but we got to talk about his Nazi, er, Boy Scout rally that turned into a shit storm this week. In slot #4 is Sean Spicer (4). So now that Spicy is gone, Taking the 5th slot we’ve got a brand new installment of “People Who Somehow Got Elected”. And this week it’s a guy who we quite haven’t touched here yet but it’s about damn time. I’m of course talking about Donald Trump stage prop “Chris Christie”. How does this guy keep getting elected? At number 6 is Dana Rohrabacher (6). Seriously we’ve already covered him in “People Who Somehow Got Elected” but really – how does this guy keep getting elected? Taking the number 7 slot is the Alt Right (7), The NRA and other white supremacist hate mongerers like Jack Posobiec have been in the news quite a lot lately, and boy are they pissed off. At what, we still can’t figure out. At number 8, we have a new installment of “This Fucking Guy”. And this week’s “This Fucking Guy” is conservative commentator Wayne Allen Root (8). You may not know who he is, but he’s a republican pundit who has a long history of making creepy comments toward female journalists. And this week, whew. That was a gem. Taking the number 9 (NEIN!!!!) spot, we have another installment of “I Need A Drink”, and this week’s drink of choice? The screwdriver. Which of course is vodka and OJ, because OJ may or may not get paroled and either way we’re going to explore this topic further. Finally this week, we’re hitting the next leg of our Top 10 World Tour 2017. This time grab your poles and hit the slopes, we’re heading to the land of Vikings, death metal, and lutefisk. I’m of course talking about the country known as Norway! Plus we have some more live music for you – our guests are Ulver, one of Norway’s best progressive rock bands and they have an amazing new album out called “The Assassination Of Julius Caesar”. It’s an amazing album. Enjoy! And as always don’t forget the key!

Spin it again! And it lands on Donald Trump. Yes, President Trump. two words that just plain do not go together. Like Nutella bologna. Or Fly Spirit! So we start this week from the “oh look, he’s tweeting again” department. Man he’s been on a rampage. I guess he’s eaten a lot of heavy foods with extra scoops of ice cream and had too many late night outings with the porcelain gods. So here’s what he said this week:

Because Hillary’s not the president, Donnie! You are! So what could he possibly be distracting us from this week:
(CNN) Jared Kushner, the President's son-in-law and senior adviser, said in a statement Monday to the Senate and House intelligence committees that he had no additional contacts with individuals who were or may have been Russian government representatives, beyond those that have already been publicly disclosed.
In an 11-page statement released Monday ahead of his closed-door interview with Senate intelligence committee staff, Kushner offers his first public accounting of what he says are his four meetings with Russians during the 2016 campaign and transition, offering previously undisclosed details of those meetings. Kushner insists in the letter that he discussed nothing improper during those meetings, which include two encounters with the Russian ambassador in Washington, a meeting with the head of a Russian state-owned bank and the June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer and others that was set up by Kushner's brother-in-law, Donald Trump Jr.
"I did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government," Kushner says in the statement. "I had no improper contacts. I have not relied on Russian funds to finance my business activities in the private sector. I have tried to be fully transparent with regard to the filing of my SF-86 form, above and beyond what is required. Hopefully, this puts these matters to rest."
Kushner also disputes a Reuters report claiming he had two phone calls between April and November 2016 with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, explaining that he has no recollection of those calls and a "comprehensive review of my land line and cell phone records from the time does not reveal those calls."

How many times must we argue here that Jedi Mind Tricks don’t work in real life, Donald? I mean you can keep hiding the truth and supporting the Milford Academy graduate Jared Kushner all you want, but that’s not hiding the fact that we’re on to you! But the Jedi Mind Tricks still continue!
In his first public defense of his meetings with Russian officials during Donald Trump’s campaign and transition, Jared Kushner is presenting his encounters with those operatives as innocent interactions, according to testimony submitted ahead of a high-stakes, closed-door grilling session before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday.
In an 11-page opening statement provided to reporters in advance of his 10 a.m. appointment with the panel, which is part of the ongoing investigation into possible collusion between Russian officials and the Trump campaign, Kushner — now a senior White House adviser — attempts to exonerate himself, writing: “I did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government.”
Instead, the powerful son-in-law paints a picture of himself as a loyal, overworked, under-experienced senior adviser to his father-in-law during a novice campaign that was never staffed up to win.

I mean so what if Jared Kusher’s meeting was no big deal? And what if Trump had more secret meetings with Putin? Seriously this whole thing is beyond fucked up!
President Donald Trump's just-disclosed hourlong meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the G-20 summit — using a Kremlin translator, with no national security staff present — may have damaged U.S. interests, according to some national security experts.
With no other witness or note-taker of the sort normally present on the American side, there's no guarantee that Trump or Putin's words were translated correctly — or that Trump didn't give away more classified information, as he did when top Russian officials came to the White House in May.

You know, Donnie, if you’re under investigation for Russian collusion, you don’t hang out with Putin in secret meetings, do you? You don’t tell the guy trying to lose 100 pounds “go ahead, eat that giant plate of chili cheese fries with a side of mac and cheese”, do you? I mean go ahead, eat the whole thing, it’s right there in front of you!
That’s exactly what this is right now with this whole Russia thing. I mean we’re still not done – where does this go? How deep does this go?
Investigators in Congress have been waiting a long time to talk to Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and top adviser. They'll get to do so behind closed doors on Monday and Tuesday. According to his prepared statement, Kushner will say he did not do anything wrong.
“I did not collude, nor know of anyone else in the campaign who colluded, with any foreign government,” the testimony, as obtained by The Washington Post's Philip Rucker, reads.
Whether he did anything wrong — or believes he did anything wrong — Kushner remains a central figure in the broader Trump-Russia investigation. Here's why:

And guess what? Oh look he’s tweeting again!
Link to tweet
President Donald Trump went off on fellow Republicans in two tweets Sunday afternoon, accusing his party members of doing "very little to protect their President."
"As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!" Trump wrote shortly after 4 p.m. ET.
"It's very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President," he said in a second tweet shortly after.
Trump was at the Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, on Sunday but had returned to the White House about an hour before firing off the tweets.

Let’s give the wheel a nice strong spin shall we? And it lands on… wait for it… Clip without context!
Well… he’s not wrong! Spin it again! And it lands on… Donald Trump! So now we got to introduce you to the latest guy Trump hired – Anthony Scaramucci. Now I know what you’re thinking – does Scaramucci do the Fandango? And the answer to that question is an easy yes! But whew – this guy is a gem, just like everyone else the Trump administration has hired and fired to date.
Of course Anthony Scaramucci is joining the White House. If you look at his career on Wall Street, in media, and in public life, he checks just about every box that Trump would want for a communications director—in part because there’s a remarkable level of Trumpiness to him. He’s like Trump’s younger, shorter double, except he’s a bit of a globalist and he can speak in complete sentences.
But just how similar are they?
Two-word nickname beginning with the word “The”? Check. Everybody calls Scaramucci “The Mooch.”
Ivy League background married to a streetwise persona? Check. Scaramucci, a 1986 graduate of Tufts University, attended Harvard Law but trades on his blue-collar roots in Port Washington, Long Island.

Scaramucci, scaramucci, will you do the Fandango? SEND A BOLT OF LIGHTNING VERY VERY FRIGHTENING ME!!! Galileo! Galileo! Figaro! Magnifico! Oh, sorry got a little carried away there, one of the few songs I can sing from memory. But just like Trump, he’s already made an absolutely brilliant first impression!
Anthony Scaramucci had nothing but glowing praise for new White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when he made the rounds on morning shows on Sunday.
“I think Sarah does a great job. She's an incredibly warm person. She's incredibly authentic,” the new White House communications director told Jake Tapper on CNN's “State of the Union,” even adding that he's letting Sanders take the bigger office while he settles on a smaller one because she has the tough job of taking hits from the press.
Then, at the end of the lengthy and, at times, heated interview, Scaramucci said there's only one thing he's asking of Sanders.

Bravo!!!! You know what they say about first impressions, right, Scaramucci? Give me some more Bohemian Rhapsody, can we get that? Easy come easy go will you let me go… NO!!!! We will not let you go! Let me go! Will not let you go! Beelzebub has a devil of a sight for me… FOR ME!!! FOR ME!!! OK that’s enough of that. Getting back on topic. But guess what? We’ve got yet another Trump hire from Goldman Sachs!
New York financier Anthony Scaramucci, who has no previous political or communications experience, is President Donald Trump‘s new White House Communications Director. The 53-year-old Long Island native is now a billionaire, and is the co-founder of SkyBridge Capital.
Scaramucci took the job once held by Mike Dubke, who resigned in May. Multiple White House officials told Politoco that Scaramucci was chosen despite resistance from Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and others. In fact, The New York Times reported that Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned because he thought hiring Scaramucci was a “major mistake.” NBC News is reporting that Steve Bannon said Scaramucci will get the job “over my dead body.”
Scaramucci is married to Deidre Scaramucci and his brother is David Scaramucci. He is a graduate of Tufts University and Harvard Law School.
In addition to his work on Wall Street, Scaramucci was a frequent contributor to Fox News and Fox Business, even co-hosting the weekly show Wall Street Week.

So for those of you keeping score at home – this is Donald Trump’s SIXTH, repeat SIXTH consecutive Goldman Sachs hire! And remember during the campaign trail when Trump accused Hillary of getting paid $675,000 to speak at Goldman Sachs? Well, guess what? Yeah fail. By the way, would you be surprised to learn that Scaramucci has a Futurama doppleganger? Well so are we!
Sometimes the internet is a horrid place, full of trolls, viral hoaxes, and dark rabbit holes of totally weird memes. But other times the internet brings us gifts that delight and amaze us. Some very special people on Twitter brought us one such gift when they pointed out that newly-appointed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci was essentially "That Guy" from Futurama brought to life.
New York financier and Republican fundraiser Scaramucci has been described as a "salesman," a "schmoozer," and a "financial showman who rivals Trump's own outsize knack for self-promotion." And clearly he's got style, having reportedly been nicknamed "Gucci Scaramucci" by former President George W. Bush.
However, President Donald Trump's decision to appoint Scaramucci, a man with no known professional experience in communications, as his new White House communications director kicked off a chain of events that culminated in Sean Spicer abruptly resigning as White House press secretary on Friday. But while some look at Scaramucci and see a man who brought upheaval to the White House, many on Twitter only see "That Guy."

And this might be my new favorite thing here. This was an actual tweet from Anthony Scarmucci!
Seriously - is that a Mark Twain quote or a lyric from a Lana Del Rey song? Well it's definitely not a Mark Twain quote because we know this!
As far as documented history shows, Mark Twain never once wrote, or even uttered aloud, the phrase “Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt, and live like its heaven on earth.”
However, that hasn’t stopped other writers, bloggers, or Etsy shop-owners from wrongly attributing the quote to the American author—Anthony Scaramucci, the newly-appointed White House communications director, included.
Along with his old tweets bashing President Donald Trump, the internet took to trolling Scaramucci’s tweet dedicated to the “Mark Twain” quote shortly after news broke Friday of his appointment and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s immediate resignation.

But guess what? Scaramucci is going to fire the leakers! And we all know how much Trump loves leaks!
Each Sunday, politicians and their flacks hit the "Big 5" political talk shows — "Meet The Press," "Face The Nation," "This Week," "Fox News Sunday" and "State Of The Union" — to speak about the issues important to them, their bosses and their constituents. Each Sunday afternoon, Patch will bring you our pick for political talk show clip of the week.
This week, newly installed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci appeared on "Face The Nation" and took aim at White House leakers. Below, watch the clip and read the transcript. (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter.)

We are turning on the spin cycle! Come on no whammy no whammy no whammy… stop! And it lands on A Random Tweet! I don’t normally use the Top 10 for plugs but when one of our own is in trouble, we got to help them out!
Link to tweet
Yes folks, we need Snopes because the Top 10 wouldn’t exist without Snopes. So help get the word out as much as you possibly can! Spin it again! Donald Trump! So last night, Trump went on another stop on his North American Deplorable Tour 2017 with a rally in Ohio. I won’t have time to get into it, but I did want to point out a product that’s being sold at Trump rallies. Can we show that?
Link to tweet
Yeah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! How is this not a death threat? Oh it’s absolutely a death threat! Getting back on topic, I’m going to start this piece with some good news, because it’s all downhill from here. And what is this good news you might ask? Well it’s about Donald J. Trump’s mental health. Which as you might have noticed, is not particularly good. So what is this good news, you might ask? Well, there’s been a block from the APA that has prevented psychiatrists and psychoanalysts from speaking out about the mental health of world leaders. And well, that block was removed this week.
A prominent psychiatry group has given members permission to publicly weigh in on the mental health of politicians and public figures, abolishing a decades-old rule that kept specialists from commenting on behaviors and the psychiatric health of public figures without first examining them.
The move gives the 3,500 members of the American Psychoanalytic Association the green light to speak openly about President Donald Trump’s mental health.
“We don’t want to prohibit our members from using their knowledge responsibly,” the group’s former president Prudence Gourguechon told STAT, a health and medicine news site. She said mental health experts have an especially important responsibility today, given “Trump’s behavior is so different than anything we’ve seen before” in a President.
The restriction, coined the “Goldwater rule” has been in place since the 1960s when psychiatrists answered survey questions on whether then-Sen. Barry Goldwater, who was running for President that year, was fit for the office.

She said mental health experts have an especially important responsibility today, given “Trump’s behavior is so different than anything we’ve seen before” in a President.
The restriction, coined the “Goldwater rule” has been in place since the 1960s when psychiatrists answered survey questions on whether then-Sen. Barry Goldwater, who was running for President that year, was fit for the office.

So why am I bringing this up now, you might ask? Well first up there’s his mentally unhinged public bullying of our Attorney General Jeff Sessions. And if Sessions is the good guy here, who’s the bad guy?
Washington (CNN)At 6:12 a.m. ET, the President of the United States tweeted this:
"Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!"
That came less than 24 hours after Trump had described Sessions as "beleagured" in another tweet and one day after he seemed to roll his eyes when asked about the attorney general in a photo-op with White House interns on Monday. It came six days after Trump told The New York Times that he would have never hired Sessions at all if he knew that the AG would recuse himself in the ongoing investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

You know what this is like? This is like Seinfeld when George continues to work for a company that is doing everything to try and fire him but they don’t actually fire him.
Now that we got that out of the way, you know how mentally unhinged Trump is? Well here’s what happened.
Yeah so he turned the Boy Scouts Jamboree – into a full blown Nazi rally! Here’s more.
Parents have expressed anger after President Donald Trump delivered a highly politicised speech to tens of thousands of boy scouts.
Mr Trump started by saying: "Who the hell wants to speak about politics?"
But his speech to the Jamboree in West Virginia railed against Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the "cesspool" of politics, drawing whoops and cheers.
One parent wrote: "Done with scouts after you felt the need to have my kid listen to a liar stroke his ego."
The Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America is held every four years and drew about 35,000 scouts from the ages of 12 to 18 to the latest event, held in Beaver, West Virginia, on Monday evening.

Yeah so even the BBC is now referring to him as “Mr. Trump”. Remember when they used to refer to him as President Obama? But now even Trump is going “FAKE NEWS!!!!”. But there’s lots of truly embarrassing shit here that the Democrats need to jump on for 2018.
President Donald Trump started his speech in front of a huge crowd of Boy Scouts at a national jamboree Monday by asking, “Who the hell wants to speak about politics when I’m in front of the Boy Scouts?”
Turns out, he did.
During his 35-minute speech, Trump attacked former president Barack Obama, mocked his former rival Hillary Clinton and threatened to fire Human Services Secretary Tom Price if he doesn’t deliver votes for the GOP’s health care bill.
“By the way, just a question. Did President Obama ever come to a jamboree?” Trump asked the crowd of 40,000, many of whom booed in response.
“The answer is no, but we’ll be back,” Trump said.
Obama, who was a Boy Scout, addressed a 100th anniversary scouting event in 2010 by video, according to The Hill.

Yeah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I mean come on, if the republicans can make ads that say all liberals are violent lunatics because of one guy, then surely the Democrats can make something out of “Who the hell wants to speak about politics” and then turning that into an overly political and divisive speech? Yeah they’re full of shit! But we’re still not done! Let’s think about what Trump is suggesting here for a minute.
Outside of idiot racists and prominent members of the Republican party who care about nothing but power (some of whom may also be idiot racists), very few adults actually fall for Donald Trump’s bullshit. He’s a mediocre conman and a worse businessman who is benefitting from years of politicians spitefully changing the rules because they hated President Obama, and now we’re apparently stuck with an orange idiot running the country who doesn’t understand the basic things he’s trying to undermine.
Like a lot of aspiring dictators, though, Trump seems to have found one demographic in particular that he can still mold into his ideal supporters: children. Today, Trump spoke at the massive Boy Scouts Jamboree, but instead of telling the thousands of young people in attendance about some crap he doesn’t comprehend, like working hard or respecting people, he got them to chant for him by promising he’d kill the Affordable Care Act (and most likely take away insurance from a good number of them and their families). Unsurprisingly, the video of this is pretty unsettling:

Yeah he’s suggesting that he threw a yacht sex party! I mean who is he? Stewie Griffin?
Oh and in case you’re wondering *WHY* the Boy Scouts invited Orange Douche to speak at their annual Jamboree, I give you this:
Randall Stephenson is probably best known in corporate circles as the chairman and chief executive of telecommunications giant AT&T, but he has also been president of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) since May of 2016.
The two roles are suddenly presenting him with an unusual conflict. Some parents are angry at the scouting group’s management after US president Donald Trump gave a political speech at the scouts’ “annual jamboree” on Monday in West Virginia. The tens of thousands of boys in attendance, aged 11 to 17, booed Hillary Clinton and former president Barack Obama, and cheered as Trump derided the Washington, DC “cesspool” and “fake media.”
..............................................
The BSA said it was “wholly non-partisan” in a statement this morning, and that the invitation for the president to visit was a long-standing tradition, not an endorsement. However, parents and ex-scouts want an apology from the BSA for letting the jamboree become politicized.

And one more thing - anyone else notice this?
12. Trump thanks his audience — which again, consisted largely of children — for voting for him in November.
“[Clinton] was told she was going to win Michigan, and I said, well, wait a minute, the car industry is moving to Mexico. Why is she going to move — she’s there. Why are they allowing it to move? And by the way, do you see those car industry — do you see what’s happening, how they’re coming back to Michigan? They’re coming back to Ohio. They’re starting to peel back in.” [Applause.]
“And we go to Wisconsin — now, Wisconsin hadn’t been won in many, many years by a Republican. But we go to Wisconsin, and we had tremendous crowds. And I’d leave these massive crowds. I’d say, why are we going to lose this state? The polls — that’s also fake news. They’re fake polls. But the polls are saying — but we won Wisconsin.” [Applause.]
“So I have to tell you what we did, in all fairness, this is an unbelievable tribute to you and all of the other millions and millions of people that came out and voted for Make America Great Again.”

Entering the spin zone! Come on no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… STOP!! Pirates!
You know folks all season long we are featuring our Wheel editions with paying homage to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This is the second movie in the series, by the way. Let’s spin it again! And it lands on… you’re fired! Ha ha ha!!! Well maybe not so much as fired but resigned. So here’s what happened.
WASHINGTON — Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned Friday after telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with his appointment of Anthony Scaramucci, a New York financier, as his new communications director.
After offering Mr. Scaramucci the job on Friday morning, Mr. Trump asked Mr. Spicer to stay on as press secretary, reporting to Mr. Scaramucci. But Mr. Spicer rejected the offer, expressing his belief that Mr. Scaramucci’s hiring would add to the confusion and uncertainty already engulfing the White House, according to two people with direct knowledge of the exchange.
Mr. Spicer’s top deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will serve as press secretary instead.
The long-anticipated resignation rattled an administration already reeling from the most trying two-week stretch of Mr. Trump’s presidency. The president’s health care effort foundered in the Senate last week, and next week promises no respite, with his son Donald Trump Jr. and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, due to testify before Congress on questions about their contacts with Russia.

But that’s not all! So you know Trump’s *NEW* and improved communication director is promising to bridge the gap between the White House and the Fake News CNN!
Incoming White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci is letting CNN out of the doghouse.
Scaramucci said Sunday that he wanted the icy relationship between the network and the administration to thaw, according to a report.
"In the back of my mind I have to call on CNN and send a message to [CNN Worldwide President Jeff] Zucker that we are back in business," Scaramucci said on a live microphone he was wearing for a series of news interviews he was doing.
His comments were picked up on the microphone and Scaramucci confirmed them to Buzzfeed.

Wow, Trump going full Kanye on that one! And you never go full Kanye. Even Kanye West himself doesn’t go full Kanye! But getting back to Sean Spicer. The sad thing is SNL may have to do an In Memoriam for Melissa McCarthy’s brilliant impression of him. But really Sean? Scaramucci is where you draw the line?
Sean Spicer came to the White House on Thursday completely unaware President Donald Trump was planning to meet with Anthony Scaramucci, a longtime Wall Street friend, and offer him the job of communications director. Other top aides, including Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon, also had no clue.
But in Trump's White House, where rumors of staff shake-ups loom for months, it all happened quickly. By Friday morning, over the strenuous objections of senior aides, Trump had a new communications director. And Spicer had made a spontaneous decision to resign, offended by the whole turn of events. He had been blindsided by Trump before, but he took particular umbrage at this one.
The wham-bam events of the past 24 hours were exceptional even by Trump's standards: the dismissal of his top lawyer and the lawyer's spokesman, West Wing blowups between the president and his top aides, a press secretary fending off rumors about his possible demise without knowing the entire truth, all while new reports landed about Trump going on the attack against the special counsel investigating his White House.
What struck one adviser who speaks to Trump frequently is that the president seemed calm — like he had a plan in mind all along — but just hadn't shared it with many others.

Holy shit! So Trump just met with another figure for his position that very day? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you! It’s not like Trump isn’t going to fire someone! But this might be the most bizarre part of this story. Spicey out!!!
After about a month in the White House, Press Secretary Sean Spicer really wanted a mini-fridge. Who could blame him? What a nice office perk. Having cold drinks on hand at all times? Sounds wonderful.
Unfortunately, Spicer went about procuring a fridge in a manner that could best be described as ill-advised. A Wall Street Journal report detailed the long and winding road to Spicer's high-profile resignation Friday and began with an anecdote that showed the press secretary hatching a plan to steal a fridge from junior staffers.
Wrote Michael C. Bender of the Journal: "[Spicer] dispatched a top aide to a nearby executive office building where junior research employees are crammed into a room, surviving on Lean Cuisine frozen lunches. Mr. Spicer wants your icebox, the aide said, according to people familiar with the incident. They refused to give it up."

This week – it’s New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Who recently made the list of the worst governors in America.
Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) is the most unpopular governor in America, according to a Morning Consult poll published Tuesday.
“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had a tough 2016, and this year isn’t starting off any better for him,” the Morning Consult poll states.

So what did Christie do this week? You know he’s in hot water over his July 4th stunt where he relaxed on the beach *AFTER* closing all the beaches in New Jersey because – wait for it – state budget cuts!
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie brushed off widespread criticism after he and his family were pictured lounging on a beach after many others throughout the state were closed in a government shutdown.
“I don’t apologize for it. I don’t back away from it,” Christie said late on Monday after the state legislature reached an agreement to pass the budget, which ended the shutdown. He posted photos signing the $34.7 billion budget early Tuesday morning on Twitter.
“Let’s be really clear. That’s our residence and we have a right to be there whenever we want to be there,” Christie said, referring to the home at Island Beach State Park given to the governor to use while in office. He said he didn’t ask for any government services while they were there such as lifeguards or garbage collection.

Can we show that picture?
And then there’s more! Did you know he caught a foul ball at a Mets game last week and got booed relentlessly by the crowd? And his excuse? “I’m a politician!”.
NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Days after catching boos after snagging a foul ball at a Mets game, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he’s never seen a politician cheered at a sporting event except for President George W. Bush after 9/11.
Christie said Thursday he knew he needed to give the ball he caught during Tuesday night’s game to a kid or he’d get even more criticism.
The Republican says that booing comes with the job and noted that TV cameras didn’t capture the 10 to 12 people taking pictures with him between innings.
Christie was sitting in the third row, near the New York dugout. In the third inning, Cardinals rookie Paul DeJong lifted a high foul that bounced in the stands. Christie reached out with his left hand and snagged it.

But people in New Jersey have just about had it with the governor’s behavior. And just how much further can the Donald Trump stage prop go?
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, fresh off his beach blunder last week, isn't at all interested in taking your criticisms.
During an appearance on WFAN radio Monday afternoon, callers began mixing it up with the Republican governor, who was severely criticized last week for using a state beach that was closed to the public during a government shutdown and then appearing to hide that fact. In response to the first caller, Christie reportedly called Hillary Clinton a “criminal.” During the second, he labeled the caller — Mike from Montclair — a “communist” and a “bum.”
“I’m enormously relieved we don’t have a criminal in the White House like Hillary Clinton,” Christie said to the first one. To Mike from Montclair: “I love getting calls from communists in Montclair.” And: “You're a bum.”
That last comment came as Christie was complaining about a caller who had referred to his weight and told him to bring a certain part of his anatomy to a beach that other New Jerseyans had access to. And that's actually not that uncommon a response to what has come to be known as “Beachgate.”

So he’s thankful that we don’t have a criminal like Hillary Clinton in the White House? And it’s perfectly OK to have a criminal like Trump in the White House? What brand of covfefe are you smoking there, governor? Even Chris Christie’s possible successor is just as insane as he is:
Democrats are trolling Republicans' pick to succeed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with memes of his recent beach-closure controversy.
On Thursday, the Democratic Governors Association released a series of memes showing a beachwear-clad Christie photoshopped into images of Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno on the campaign trail.
"Wherever Kim Guadagno goes, her record in the disastrous Christie administration will follow," DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold said in a release.
"Kim Guadagno could run the length of the Jersey Shore, but she'll never be able to escape her record of being Chris Christie's partner in failure."

Uh… huh huh huh… are you DTF? But even the Donald Trump stage prop is questioning the almight’s motives. Is he as good of a “political actor” as anybody? Well there’s this.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said President Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. was not colluding with Russia when he took the meeting during the 2016 campaign with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, but was simply a political novice who didn't know any better.
"You got to consider the source of the information and the recipient of the information," Christie said Tuesday in an interview with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, referring to the email exchange the President's son released last week detailing the lead-up to his meeting with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign where he was promised compromising information on Hillary Clinton "The source of the information seems to be like a music promoter. I don't think this was a guy who was necessarily sophisticated in the language of government like you and I would be. And the recipient of the information, Donald Trump Jr., who I know very well, is by no means a sophisticated political actor."
"This is a guy who loves his father and got involved in politics because his father got involved," Christie continued. "But I don't think Don would have gotten involved in that level any other time."

And the recipient of the information, Donald Trump Jr., who I know very well, is by no means a sophisticated political actor."
"This is a guy who loves his father and got involved in politics because his father got involved," Christie continued. "But I don't think Don would have gotten involved in that level any other time."

And in the day and age where the average moron, er, voter, wants a “Washington Outsider” running things, is Chris Christie who we really want in Washington? Well, he is a criminal. He is under investigation. Does he have ties to Russia? Well, wait until next week to find out!
It wouldn't come as a shock if by the end of the summer, Gov. Chris Christie is seen strolling down K Street in Washington, draped in a sandwich board sign that reads: "INSIDER FOR HIRE."
That's effectively what Christie was doing Tuesday during an MSNBC interview with Nicolle Wallace. He was job hunting on national television, reminding the political world that he would be an invaluable fit for a lobbying or law firm hungry for access to the Trump administration.
In his characteristic humble-brag style, Christie let it be known that he was Donald's friend for 15 years, that he stood at the dawn of history on election night last November, offering to set-up a congratulatory call from President Obama, and that he had even huddled in Trump Tower with Trump the same day that Donald Jr. was taking part in his ill-fated, June 9, 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton.

[font size="8"]Dana Rohrabacher
[br] [/font] [br]
Spin it to win it! Ooh, that was a good spin right there. And it lands on… wait for it… Infowars! I mean shit, do I really have to talk about Infowars this week? Oh it’s just a funny clip? Fine. Roll it. Remember Stephen Colbert’s character Tuck Buckford that was making fun of Alex Jones? Well, this video surfaced this week:
Really? Is Alex Jones going meta now? And if you want Stephen Colbert’s much better character, I give you this:
Just… words fail me on this one. Spin it again! And it lands on… my home state of California!
Damn I love Blink 182. We’re going to have them on the show in a couple of weeks. But seriously my home state of California has one representative who really is just about as batshit insane as it gets and I’m not exaggerating. Can we roll that?
I mean Mr. Rohrabacher is aware that Mars Attacks was just a movie, right? But here’s the real bombshell coming out of the Rohrabacher office this week. Like I said, when the leader of your party is under investigation about Russia, maybe shut the fuck up about Russia!
A bombshell report claims that Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who has long been described as “Putin’s favorite congressman,” was given explicit instructions by the Kremlin for how to attack sanctions against Russia last year.
The Daily Beast reports that “after being given a secret document by officials in Moscow, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher sought to alter sanctions legislation and tried to set up a virtual show trial on Capitol Hill” last June, right at around the time that Donald Trump Jr. and key members of the Trump campaign met with Russian nationals who claimed to be representatives of the Russian government’s efforts to undermine the candidacy of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Rohrabacher’s original plan was to have a show trial in Congress of anti-Putin campaigner Bill Browder in which he would “confront Browder with a feature-length pro-Kremlin propaganda movie that viciously attacks him—as well as at least two witnesses linked to the Russian authorities, including lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.”
The purpose of this “show trial,” according to an email reviewed by the Daily Beast, was to undermine a set of sanctions placed on Russia that were named after Sergei Magnitsky, who served as Browder’s tax attorney before being imprisoned after exposing a Russian corruption scandal.

Go on fatty! The Golden Corral is just off this exit of the 710 freeway! What's your temptation? They got it! Look, they have all you can eat everything! Cheeseburgers? Sure! Mac and cheese? Sure! French fries? Sure! Prime rib? You got it! Chocolate chip cookies? There’s plenty of them! What? You like Asian food? They got wontons! Indian food? They got lots of garlic naan and chicken tikka! Mexican food? They got carne asada, rice and beans! Italian food? They got plenty of pasta and pizza! Give in to the temptation! I mean really if you’re under investigation for ties to Russia, stay away from Russia! These guys cant help themselves!
A former Soviet military counterintelligence officer who met with President Trump's son, son-in-law and campaign manager in June 2016 had previously lobbied Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) at least twice about U.S. relations with Russia.
News broke Friday that Rinat Akhmetshin, who received U.S. citizenship and became a Washington lobbyist after emigrating from Russia more than a decade ago, was also present at the Trump Tower meeting with campaign officials and Kremlin-linked lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. The New York Times first reported the news about the meeting aimed at potential negative information about Hillary Clinton.
Several outlets have reported on Akhmetshin's past lobbying of Rohrabacher to help remove Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky’s name from a global anti-corruption law. Magnitsky was a whistleblower who alleged that officials in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government stole $230 million. He died in prison under suspicious circumstances.

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh no you didn’t! And of course this guy died under mysterious circumstances, this is Vladimir Putin we’re talking about here! If you have ties to Putin, you’re going to die in jail under mysterious cricumstances. It’s a simple fact of life! And this guy is from Huntington Beach, this is my neck of the woods, damn it! So how deep is Russia in this thing?
The latest comes from the Associated Press, which reports that Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian lobbyist and former counter-intelligence member, says that he also sat in on the controversial meeting attended by Kremlin-linked attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and Donald Trump Jr. This is significant to Rep. Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Nyet) because of the Slimin’ Congressman’s own ties to Akhmetshin. It’s been previously reported that the pair met multiple times to discuss a federal money-laundering case involving a firm Russian prosecutor Sergei Magnitsky was investigating before he was arrested by Russian authorities and mysteriously died in a Moscow prison in 2009. That’s what led to the Magnitsky Act, a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama in 2012 to punish Russian officials responsible for the prosecutor’s death. Vladimir Putin has been lobbying to get the legislation shitcanned ever since. For instance, it’s also been reported that Rohrabacher met last year with Veselnitskaya at the Capitol Hill Club to talk about the Magnitsky Act. Days after the meeting with Trump Jr., she sat in the front row of Rohrabacher’s committee hearing on U.S. policy toward Putin’s Russia, a land that now makes former Soviet basher Dana's naughty bits tingle.

[font size="8"]The Alt Right
[br] [/font] [br]
Entering the spin zone! And it lands on………….. Something random in the news!
That’s right! Dr. Who is going to be a woman in 2017! Now… the alt right on the other hand, collectively lost their shit. I don’t really have time to get into it, but look up some of the complaints, it’s pretty much an epic fail. The usual group of MRAs are at it saying things like “Bras aren’t involved in time travel! It’s for men only!”. STFU. Spin it again! And it lands on… Nazis!
Specifically the alt right again. And they have been losing it hard this week. To get even more specific, I’m of course talking about alt right darling and guy who breaks the fourth wall, only to find another fourth wall behind it, Jack Posobiec. Who this week said something racist, not surprisingly!
“To make those accusations on the hallowed ground of Auschwitz is offensive and twisted and, unfortunately, proves the point about our research,” an ADL spokesperson told TPM by email.
Posobiec, who describes himself on Twitter as a “filmmaker, and recovering political operative” and promoted the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, took exception to the ADL’s list associating him with the far-right movement.
The ADL described the so-called “alt-right” movement as “a segment of the white supremacist movement consisting of a loose network of racists and anti-Semites who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of politics that embrace implicit or explicit racist, anti-Semitic and white supremacist ideology.”
It listed Posobiec as a member of the “alt lite,” a “loosely-connected movement whose adherents generally shun white supremacist thinking, but who are in step with the alt right in their hatred of feminists and immigrants, among others.”

So “Alt Lite”? What does that even mean? They’re lite Nazis? Is this a new beer that I’m not aware of? Drink new Alt Lite – it’ll bring out the third reich in you! NEIN!!! But this might be my favorite story of the week. If a group of Nazis protests and nobody cares about it, did it really happen?
A group of Trump supporters gathered outside of CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta in an attempt to protest against “fake news” on Saturday — but the sparsely attended rally only drew an estimated 30 people.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the protest, which was live-streamed through the web by Breitbart News, featured people holding signs that said things like “Beware fake news” and “CNN: Criminal News Network.”
The protesters walked around outside of CNN on the sidewalk chanting, “No more fake news” and other slogans.
“We’re here to tell CNN no more fake news,” organizer Melanie Morgan told the AJC. “They have to know people who are here expect fairness in journalism.”
Debbie Dooley, a local Tea Party activist who helped organize the protest, told the AJC that she and her allies would continue protesting outside CNN at least every month, despite the low turnout at the event on Saturday.

But the right is a perfect example of that song “I get knocked down, but I get up again”. Yes, the alt right loves to beat dead horses. Like this gem from Trump’s new replacement for Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders:
“Look, I know that he is certainly frustrated and disappointed in the attorney general for recusing himself,” Sanders told “Fox & Friends.”
“That frustration certainly hasn’t gone away and, you know, I don’t think it will,” Sanders said. “But given the fact that the president is being attacked unnecessarily and, certainly, for no reason on something he and, I think, most of America feel is a complete hoax and that the media has gotten so spun up on Russia fever, we’re looking to move on.”
Trump has made clear that Sessions must launch an investigation of Hillary Clinton if he wants to stay on as attorney general — which Sanders justified as proper.
“I don’t think the president has ever sent mixed messages on how he feels about all of the improper actions that the Clintons took and certainly were involved in over the course of the last several years,” Sanders said, “and I think he is getting hit every single day on a ridiculous witch hunt that has proved nothing. People have been investigating for over a year and have found nothing. But there’s actually some real, I think, hard facts to look at when it comes to the Clintons, and I think that’s been completely ignored. The president’s looking for a fair playing field on that front.”

And if that wasn’t enough – the alt right continues to push bullshit even though it’s not true. I mean remember Pizzagate? Even Alex Jones himself thought this story was complete bullshit. And for him to say it’s bullshit, then it’s fucking bullshit.
Liz Crokin Says Scalise Shooting Was ‘A Hit’ Orchestrated By The Pizzagate Sex Trafficking Ring

Liz Crokin is a right-wing columnist, commentator and conspiracy theorist who has been heavily promoting the right-wing “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which asserts that several high-ranking Democratic operatives—most notably John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign—are involved in a massive child sex trafficking ring.
Last week, Crokin appeared on “The Hagmann and Hagmann Report,” where she alleged that the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise last month was really “a hit” carried out by this global pedophile network aimed at stopping him from enacting anti-trafficking legislation.

Spin that shit! Come on no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy no whammy… stop! And it lands on… Clip without context!
You do know that Trump is doing that to himself, right, Jim? So would the suit then target Trump himself? I mean if that’s the case then by all means! So many questions here! Spin it again! And it lands on This Fucking Guy!
This week’s “This Fucking Guy” is conservative commentator Wayne Allen Root. I mean really, this fucking guy. Well he wins this week because as part of the Fox News Gentlemen’s Club, he has a particularly shady repore with hot looking female journalists.
On his radio program yesterday, right-wing commentator, conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump–obsessed sycophant Wayne Allyn Root rejoiced over the poor ratings that Megyn Kelly has received since leaving Fox News for NBC, attributing the results to the fact that liberal men won’t watch her show because they are all gay.
“She’s got great legs,” he said. “She’s a hot babe and no one gives a crap about her. You know why? Because a hot babe on Fox News, Republican men loved her; take her off Fox News, now the whole world knows what she is. Republican men like me, I wouldn’t tune in. Screw Megyn Kelly.”
“I hope she dies,” Root said, before quickly adding that he meant that he hopes “her ratings plummet and her career dies” because “she tried to screw over our man, Donald Trump.”

I mean… Jesus. Where do we even begin with this one? First of all. Not all liberal men are gay. Some of us like to keep it a mystery! Thank you! And you hope she dies because her career is failing? Holy shit! She’s got great legs and she’s a hot babe? What are you, 12? A grown-ass man does not call a woman a “hot babe” even if he’s in a bar full of attractive women. And we’re not done yet:
“Outside of Fox News, you have no support,” he continued. “You had the hottest show in the country, my friend, and what did you do? You spit in our face. Now you’re done. All those Republican men who appreciate beautiful women, we don’t like you anymore, we’re never going to give you the time of day, Megyn Kelly. Who’s left? Liberal women won’t like you because you’re coming from Fox News and liberal men, well, they’re all gay or they don’t appreciate pretty women.”
“Real men like beautiful women,” Root said. “Liberal men? You could walk into a room and they wouldn’t even notice. They’re too busy worrying about the poor. They don’t care about beautiful legs, they don’t care about your beautiful face and your blonde hair and your tight skirt. They don’t care!”
“You are a traitor,” he fumed. “Eat dirt. Have a nice life. Goodbye. Adios. Go to Mexico, you’re not wanted here anymore.”
“Real men like beautiful women,” Root said. “Liberal men? You could walk into a room and they wouldn’t even notice. They’re too busy worrying about the poor. They don’t care about beautiful legs, they don’t care about your beautiful face and your blonde hair and your tight skirt. They don’t care!”

Yeah so he’s a fucking creep. You know Wayne – real men like beautiful women. Real men also don’t treat beautiful women like objects. In fact he’s so obsessed with liberals and sex that he came up with this batshit insane theory:
On his radio program yesterday, right-wing commentator, conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump–obsessed sycophant Wayne Allyn Root warned men never to date a liberal woman who owns cats because “she’ll cut your pee-pee off.”
Root was ranting about a federal contractor who was arrested for allegedly leaking classified information to a news outlet when he went off on a tangent about how liberal women who own cats are all insane.
“Find me a woman who is a feminist and a liberal and likes cats and I will find you someone who ought to be in an insane asylum every single time,” Root bellowed. “Hey guys, if any of you out there are single and you ever meet a woman who admits to being a liberal and hating Trump and when you get to her house, she’s got cats, run for your life. Run, run, run. Like those ads in Britain, run and hide and tell other men to run and hide.”

Once again, Wayne – grown ass men do not refer to their penis as a “pee pee”. I mean what are you, 5 years old? Maybe that’s who listens to Newsmax podcasts! But we’re still not done with this fucking guy, I mean really he’s insane.

Run, run, run. Like those ads in Britain, run and hide and tell other men to run and hide.”
“No man can ever live with a liberal woman with cats,” he continued. “She’ll cut your pee-pee off, I promise you. Liberals are mentally unstable and mentally insane. They’re unhinged.”
“No man can ever live with a liberal woman with cats,” he continued. “She’ll cut your pee-pee off, I promise you. Liberals are mentally unstable and mentally insane. They’re unhinged.”
Sounds like you’re the one who’s unhinged, Wayne! Thank you! That one is worthy of the Putin facepalm! Mr. Root also has a particularly odd obsession with President Trump.
Right-wing commentator, conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump–obsessed sycophant Wayne Allyn Root kicked off his radio broadcast yesterday by reading his latest commentary in which he calls on conservatives to rally behind the president against those who seek to “lynch” and “crucify” him.
Root says that Trump, like William Wallace and Jesus Christ, is a champion of the people and is now “facing one of the most intense, over-the-top attacks ever seen in world history,” orchestrated by the “deep state,” the media, and “disgusting, disgraced people” like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
“They have to stop him at all costs,” Root said. “Not just stop him, destroy him. Lynch him. Crucify him. They need to send a clear message, so no one ever tries to educate, enlighten, or empower the people ever again. That’s why the gates of hell have been opened on President Trump. That’s why Trump is facing a tsunami, earthquake, tornado, hailstorm all in one.”

Really, you compare Trump to Jesus? The actual son of God vs the actual son of Satan? Maybe Trump isn’t the son of Satan, but he sure damn feels like it! In fact he loves Trump so much that he recently said this:
Right-wing commentator, conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump–obsessed sycophant Wayne Allyn Root kicked off his radio show yesterday by freaking out over right-wing reports that professional baseball player Albert Almora Jr. had subtly given President Trump the middle finger when the Chicago Cub visited the White House.
Almora denies having done so, insisting that he respects everybody and “would never do that to the president of the United States.” But that did not dissuade Root from spending several minutes ranting about the story while repeatedly calling Almora a “low-life, scum bucket, piece of human garbage.”
Almora “looks like a low-life gang banger,” Root fumed. “I hope every Cubs fan who ever voted for Donald Trump forevermore boos you and tells you to go to hell because you’re a piece of human garbage.”

Hey Wayne, I think you’re the piece of human garbage here. If he thinks that’s insulting, wait until he gets a hold of this show! But then Wayne further added insult to injury and said this:
“There is a low-life who should have his mouth washed out with soap ten thousand times and write on a blackboard ten thousand times, ‘I will never use my middle finger again,'” Root continued to rant as he blasted Almora for “having used it against the president of the United States in the Oval Office, inches away from my president, Donald J. Trump, one of the great presidents in American history. Just sickens me!”
Hey Wayne:
That’s Wayne Allen Root – this week’s entry for:

Spin it to win it! And it lands on… wait for it…
Spin it again! And it lands on… booze! Time for…
And this week’s drink? Why it’s the screwdriver! Yes the combination of vodka and orange juice which is the perfect drink if you’re going to hair of the dog it. So why are we talking about orange juice? Yeah this is going to be a lame metaphor but I need some vodka and orange juice to tell you the strange tale of the Juice’s parole. Particularly this little bit of interesting news.
Nevada's most famous inmate has a chance to be a Carson City brothel's most famous greeter.
Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, said he is prepared to offer O.J. Simpson a job as a greeter at the brothel.
Simpson was granted parole Thursday after serving nearly nine years at the Lovelock Correctional Center. He is expected to be released in October.
"We got the limo all ready," Hof said in a phone call to the Reno Gazette-Journal Friday. "We're making the banners. We'll come and pick him up at the prison if he'll allow it."
Simpson hopes to move to Florida to be with family and friends after being paroled. In order to move, he would have to qualify and apply for the transfer to Florida, but Hof said he is confident Simpson would stay in Nevada for "a little longer."
"It's the perfect transition," Hof said. "Limos, signs, girls - what a way to get out of prison, O.J."

How can you have a story about OJ without referencing the Naked Gun? Well there’s even more to this story that you would have thought possible. But just like the weird that OJ brings with him, the parole hearing wasn’t without weird shit happening.
O.J. Simpson’s parole board hearing had its share of strange moments. One friend was wearing a Heisman shirt, and a Parole Board member was wearing a Kansas City Chiefs tie while ruling on a former NFL player’s parole hearing.
Sports fans took notice to the tie, but this was a calculated wardrobe decision. Board member Adam Endel had been planning to break out the tie for at least several days before the hearing. He even bragged about the tie to a Kansas City sports radio station earlier this week.
During Monday’s Fescoe in the Morning on 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City, hosts Bob Fescoe and Mike Welch discussed the upcoming parole hearing. Then, they promoted that Endel, a Chiefs fan, would be joining the show on Friday and that he had told them he was going to wear his Chiefs tie to the hearing.

I like that one! And that’s a double pun, damn it! But here’s where it really gets weird. I didn’t think it was possible to draw a line when you’re going to one of the world’s most famous brothels, but apparently there is one!
O.J. Simpson’s first post-prison job offer hit a snag when some of his potential co-workers threaten to quit.
The working girls at Nevada’s famed Bunny Ranch definitely have some standards, and they don’t like the idea that their boss wants to give Simpson a second chance by letting him work as a greeter at their brothel, TMZ reported.
Following the decision by the Nevada authorities to grant Simpson parole, Bunny Ranch owner Denis Hof told TMZ he would be happy give the disgraced NFL star and accused double-murderer a job. With the job also came the invitation for Simpson to live on the property.
The 70-year-old Simpson was granted parole Thursday after more than eight years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel heist. The decision means Simpson could be out of prison as early as Oct. 1. Hof thought his Carson City establishment would be the perfect place for Simpson to get his life back together after leaving prison.

[font size="8"]World Tour Destination #7: Norway
[br] [/font] [br]
Let’s spin that wheel one last time this week! And it lands on… T-Shirt Cannon!!!! Everyone here will get the high quality Top 10 Conservative Idiots World Tour 2017 shirt. Now only if I had the budget to make and sell t-shirts! Let’s spin it again! World Tour 2017! Hit it!
Part of our mission statement here at the Top 10 Conservative Idiots is to show you that conservative idiocy isn’t just a problem with America. No, it’s a global problem that is stemming far and wide, and it’s not just America where conservative idiots ruin everything they touch. And if you’re thinking of moving out of the United States just because Donald J. Trump is our current president and our nation is turning to shit, you should know what it is you’re getting into should you decide that you want to leave the country. So far we've been all over Europe. And loving it. The Europeans are very hospitable and have accompanied our nonsense in every destination we've been to. We started in France, then headed to Italy, Greece, and Germany, and visited Ireland and England. Now we're leaving continental Europe and heading up north to Scandinavia. Here’s the tour schedule:
[font size="6"]Norway[/font]
We need some music for this one!
Next we head to Scandinavia! Specifically the icy country of Norway. Norway is the home of the Viking! It’s the land of the ice and snow as Led Zeppelin once referred to it. Just like a country we previously visited, Ireland, Norway is home to some of the world’s most beautiful scenery, like one of the world’s original wonders – Priekestolen. Although unlike Ireland, sub zero temperatures can some times accompany them. Norway is home to such popular foods as Lutefisk. Of course when one thinks of Norway one immediately thinks of skiing as their primary sport. But other sports such as curling and boxing are at the helm of Norway sports. And when you think of the Vikings who is it you naturally think of? Is it Thor Odinson of Asguard or is it Leif Erickson? Norway is also the world’s home of death metal – some of the best death and black metal bands in the world come from Norway. Bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved, Solefald, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Emperor, Mayhem, Dodheimsgard, and our musical guest tonight – Ulver! But what else is Norway the home of? Car fires!
Even though Oslo police still do not know who is behind the latest car fires in Oslo, coalition government partner Progress Party (Frp) uses it as part of their election campaign.
On Tuesday and Wednesday total 11 cars fire incidents were reported in Oslo. The police is investigating the cases and so far nobody have been arrested.
Yet, coalition government partner, Progress Party (FrP) posts a poster on Facebook, with an image of a burning car and slogan “we will not have it in Norway. Agree?”.
The party’s Iranian origin immigration spokesman, Mazyar Keshvari claims that incidents are result of immigration.
He also claims that there will be more burning cars, if Labor Party leader Jonas Gahr Støre is elected as prime minister in September.

That’s how you stage a fucking protest. And Norway like nearly every other country on earth – is currently experiencing a wave of white supremacism and the rise of an ultra far right wing party, one that makes Trump supporters look tame by comparison. Well if there’s one thing right wingers across the world hate, it’s taxes. And Norway attempted a “voluntary tax program”, and well, it was quite the epic fail.
Eager to pay more taxes? Then look no further than Norway.
Hammered by the opposition for slashing taxes and going on a spending spree with the country’s oil money, the center-right government has hit back with a bold proposal: voluntary contributions.
Launched in June, the initiative has received a lukewarm reception, with the equivalent of just $1,325 in extra revenue being collected so far, according to the Finance Ministry. That’s not much for a country of 5.3 million people, many of whom are already accustomed to paying some of the highest taxes in the world (the top rate of income tax is 46.7 percent).
“The tax scheme was set up to allow those who want to pay more taxes to do so in a simple and straightforward way,” Finance Minister Siv Jensen said in an emailed comment. “If anyone thinks the tax level is too low, they now have the chance to pay more.”

So where does Norway get most of its’ money from? Oil! And while Scandinavia is leading the world in the switch from gas powered cars to fully electric and hybrid cars, would you be surprised at all to learn that Norway is also leading the world in fuel consumption?
The “peak demand” hypothesis is the idea that demand for oil will peak as alternatives to oil become widespread. The notion that peak demand will happen within the next few years – and that EVs will be the primary driving force behind this shift – has gained in popularity over the past couple of years, particularly among cleantech enthusiasts. Bloomberg has especially pushed this narrative in several articles (See here, here or here). One Bloomberg article last year argued that EVs could cause a permanent oil crash as soon as 2023.
Norway’s experience is perhaps instructive.
In response to generous incentives and some of the highest gasoline prices in the world, Norway’s electric vehicle (EV) sales have grown at the fastest rate of any country in the world. Over the past seven years, Norway’s EV sales have averaged more than a 90% annual growth rate.

Great movie. Well at least the last 20 minutes of it. And while the rest of the world is learning what a dangerous mad man Vladimir Putin is, Norway is one country that long figured it out before anyone else did!
A poll published by Dagbladet today shows that a clear majority of Norwegians believe that Putin is dangerous for world peace. 11 percent believe he is very dangerous, while 47 percent of respondents think he is quite dangerous.
Only 2 percent of the respondents think Putin is not dangerous at all.
Senior researcher at the Norwegian Defense Research Institute (FFI) Tor Bukkvoll believes Norwegians’ perception of Russia as a possible threat changed when the country annexed the Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine in 2014.

[font size="6"]The Verdict[/font]
Norway is a great country considering both the political climate and the actual climate. It’s a great place for tourists and immigrants but the seedy underbelly is something that should be alarming to liberals.
[font size="6"]Scorecard[/font]
Norway is a country that’s had a massive turn around in the last few years, mainly thanks to the oil industry and how much money they’re making off it. It’s still got a long way to go before it’s the perfect liberal utopia.

[font size="6"]Next Week[/font]
Next week we’re continuing our journey through Scandinavia and heading to Norway’s neighbors in Sweden! It’s the land of Ikea, Volvo, meatballs, chefs, and death metal! Plus some live music from Sweden’s Ghost! Bork bork bork!
[font size="8"]And Now This:[/font]
[font size="8"]Ulver[/font]
My next musical guest is proud to represent their home country of Norway. Their latest album is called “The Assassination Of Julius Caesar”. Playing their song “So Falls The World”, give it up for Ulver!
Yeah how about that?
See you next week!
