    What else does he need? Divination through entrails? I’m sure ISIS could provide him with some.

      “I share just a huge sense of revulsion over these acts, obviously,” Kerry said. “None of us have ever seen anything like it in our lifetimes. Although, obviously, if you go back to the Holocaust, the world has seen it.”

      But he sill won’t call it genocide.

      It’s going to take some time to figure out what Muslims are up to.

      You don’t want to rush to judgement.

      I mean, it’s only been one thousand four hundred years. Like a blip in time.

      Kerry says we need more time to figure it out. And more money, too.

      Liberals: your children will not live free, if you get what you want.

      Gillette Corporation: you will go bankrupt, if liberals get what they want.

      It really does seem like Libs want to be ruled by Islamic Jihad sometimes.

    Good morning, everyone! I’m feeling ornery this morning. It may be one of those days when I should back away from the keyboard.

    I’ll try to think about Spring, and its imminent arrival.

    [in Just-]
    By E. E. Cummings
    in Just-
    spring when the world is mud-
    luscious the little
    lame balloonman

    whistles far and wee

    and eddieandbill come
    running from marbles and
    piracies and it’s
    spring

    when the world is puddle-wonderful

    the queer
    old balloonman whistles
    far and wee
    and bettyandisbel come dancing

    from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

    it’s
    spring
    and

    the

    goat-footed

    balloonMan whistles
    far
    and
    wee

        Screenshots of tweets are forever.

        You can even make billboards out of them. Or ballcaps. Or vinyl decals for your car’s various body panels. Buy a printer. Buy a Roland (keyboard folks) cutter. (Looks like a printer, cuts instead. With USB.) Decorate your minivan!

        Sure, you can delete stuff.

          If I had a vehicle, it would have screenshot vinyls of Iowahawk tweets.

          And Gary Larson comics.

          I could re-invent the bumper-sticker, folks, and stop plunging m’fing toilets.

          I epoxy-painted another third of a yuge basement floor today. With the sprinkles. Used about 2 1/2 gallons. Box and 1/2 of sprinkles. Looks nice. Battleship gray. Gonna clear-coat it twice tomorrow. I wish I had a machine of some sort that would distribute the flakes more evenly than by hand. Still, I have a good, shaky hand for it. You paint a 3×10 area, then you toss the flakies all over what you painted. Evenly. If you can manage it. Then you do another 3×10 area and try and make it so it doesn’t look like some guy did 40 3×10 areas all differently.

          I don’t even know how dense I’m s’posed to be making the sprinkles. You search “epoxy flakes” on google images, it looks like I need to be using a whole lot more in some of them.

          What the sprinkles do is strengthen the paint/epoxy, and make the surface even more durable.

          Your shoes are in contact with the sprinkles instead of the paint. So are chair legs, table legs, and all the other things you can and will drag across a floor.

          But I need to start making car vinyls.

    You know what is different about Donald Trump?

    Amost always a candidate (like Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Bush, the whole shebang) starts out good and then over time gets proven to be a fraud, a jerk, a liar, a deceiver, a womanizer, etc., BUT Trump started out negative, most thought not serious, a clown, stoopid, shallow, womanizer, out of control, liberal and then proved to be GOOOOOOOOOD, to be GREAT!

        Yep. Here is a funny. Friend aghast when I said I was for Trump and really let me have it about how terrible he is and unstable and brash and not presidential. I just shut up and never brought it up again.

        Well recently she looked over my shoulder as I was showing a video of Trump to someone else. We were laughing in an admirable sort of way at what Trump was saying and the O’disgusted One (who by the way is slowly moving away from being a flaming programmed liberal) comments, “Wow, he is really started to be presidential.” She was not being snarky and when I clicked off after the part I was showing she said, “Oh, put him back on. He is interesting.”

        The segment I was sharing was the “pussy moment”. Yeah, he did handle that with class, not crass.

    OK. Got one heck of a rant in my head propelled by a very elevated blood pressure! That Breitbart article with MittTheShit (Weeweed, you can follow the last four letters with “hole” or “wipe” for a smile) titled Romney: “Good Reason to believe there is a bombshell in ……Trump’s taxes” (don’t know if permissible to link to Buttbart (hole).

    I have put my rantings in CAPS. Please, please Mr. Trump, DO NOT release your taxes unless just page one and two of 1040. Do not give the haters names to go after and destroy for doing business with you.!

    “Romney then said, when asked about his lack of an endorsement for anyone so far, “Well, frankly, I’d like to see a number of things from the candidates, not just their positions on issues in some detail, and some candidates are more thorough in laying out what they’re going to do than others, but I’d also like to see their back taxes. I’d like to see where they filed their taxes in the last several years. I’m not talking about their taxes this year. I’m talking about the taxes that have already been filed with the IRS. And Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have [not] shown us their back taxes.”
    Romney further stated that “the last two years that have already been filed” would “give us a real sense of whether these people are on the up and up, and whether they’ve been telling us things about themselves that are true or not.” He then said, “I think we have good reason to believe that there’s a bombshell in Donald Trump’s taxes.”
    He explained, “I think there’s something there, either he’s not as anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn’t been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay, (SO, MITT, YOU GONNA SPIN HIS “INCOME” AS A LIE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATCH HIS 10 BILLION WORTH FIGURE WHEN YOU KNOW ASSETS ARE NOT TAXED. IS MY HOUSE, AN ASSET INCREASING MY WORTH, LISTED ON MY INCOME TAXES? NO. YOU KNOW THIS. WORTH AND INCOME TAX ARE NOT ONE AND THE SAME. OR ARE YOU THINKING HIS AMOUNT MADE FROM NBC, THE APPRENTICE, WILL NOT MATCH WHAT HE HAS BRAGGED ON? AGAIN, MIXING UP TWO THINGS TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HONEST LOOK WRONG. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, MITT, YOU TO BE SUCH A SLEAZE?)or perhaps he hasn’t been giving money to the vets, or to the disabled, like he’s been telling us he’s been doing. And I think that’s — the reason that I think there’s a bombshell in there, is because every time he’s asked about his taxes, he dodges and delays and says, well, we’re working on it. (IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO GET PERMISSION FOR BREACHING CONFIDENTIALITY OF ALL THE COMPANIES, CHARITIES, AND ENTITIES LISTED ON HIS TAXES. YOU KNOW THIS, MITT. ) Hey, we’re not talking about the taxes that are coming due this year. Of course they’re working on those. They won’t be ready for months. We’re talking about taxes already filed, back taxes. And my back taxes, when I ran in 2012, my back taxes, I put out in January of 2012. (JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE STUPID TO PUT YOURS UP FOR OTHERS TO MANUFACTURING LIES AND SMOKESCREENS DOES NOT MEAN THESE GUYS MUST. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SHARE YOUR STUPIDITY. YOU SAW HOW EFFECTIVE THE FALSEHOODS TOOK YOU DOWN AND YOU ARE LOOKING FOR LA SURE WAY TO TAKE DOWN TRUMP. IS HE REALLY THAT STUPID?)We’re now in late February and we still haven’t seen either Donald Trump’s, or Marco Rubio’s, or Ted Cruz’s taxes. And frankly the voters have a right to see those tax returns before they decide who our nominee ought to be.” ****( NO WE DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TAXES. NONE. IF THE IRS SAYS GOOD AND LEGITIMATE THEN THEY ARE GOOD AND LEGITIMATE AND FILLED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS. “IF” REVEAL TAXES THEY SHOULD ONLY SUBMIT FOR PUBLIC VIEWING FORM 1040, PAGES ONE AND TWO. ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION AS TO WHAT COMPANIES DID BUSINESS WITH AND WHO AND WHERE DONATED IS CONFIDENTIAL TO THE PARTIES THEY DID BUSINESS WITH AND DONATED TO. IF TRUMP ENTERPRIZE HAD GIVEN ME A LOAN, I WOULD BE FURIOUS IF THE LENDER POSTED THAT INFORMATION FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. I AM SICK OF PEOPLE DECIDING THAT SOMEONE CHEATED ON THEIR TAXES WHEN THE IRS FOUND THEM DONE TO PERFECTION. WE WANT THE CANDIDATES, IT SEEMS TO NOT TAKE DEDUCTIONS FOR THIS OR THAT WHEN WE OURSELVES WOULD NEVER PASS UP ONE. REMINDS ME OF WHEN USE TO CLAIM ALL OF OUR CHILDREN, WHICH WAS A VERY LARGE NUMBER AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY EXPECTED US TO SELF-LIMIT BECAUSE, TO THEM, IT WAS NOT FAIR THAT WE GOT SO MUCH MORE THAN THEM IN EXEMPTIONS AND CHILD TAX CREDITS. )*****
    Romney said that the scrutiny over his taxes when he ran back in 2012 is “a good reason for getting these things out before the voters make their choices to who our nominee will be.” He continued, “I put my taxes out in January of 2012, and that gave people a chance to digest it, and decide whether I was going to be the nominee or not. And if in fact Donald Trump’s taxes, or Marco Rubio’s, or Ted Cruz’s, have some real problems in there, let’s get them out there and see them. But I think it’s pretty clear that, given Donald Trump’s dodging and weaving and delay, I think the last time he was asked about his taxes he said, well, it’s going to be a month. Look, people have a right to know if there’s a problem in those taxes before they decide.” (IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THEM THE IRS WOULD BE ALL OVER HIM LIKE A RASH. HE GETS AUDITED EVERY YEAR. YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT, EVERY YEAR)
    Romney further said of Trump “[T]he fact that he is so aggressive in avoiding any discussion of taxes — of his taxes, and is not willing to put them out so far, suggests that there’s something in there he doesn’t want us to see. (NO, MITT, IT IS NOT THAT HE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE. MAYBE HE JUST DOES NOT WANT TO BE AS STUPID AS YOU WERE WHEN YOU POSTED YOUR TAXES FOR THEM TO REPACKAGE THEM AS A REFLECTION OF SOME FAUX FRAUD. NO BOMBSHELL. JUST SMART STRATEGY ON THE WARFRONT BETWEEN TRUMP AND THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT.)By the way, any time you talk about money, Donald Trump likes to tell you how wealthy he is, how he’s worth billions of dollars. (WORTH AND INCOME ARE TWO VERY SEPARATE THINGS. YOU KNOW THAT, MITT, SO WHYT ARE YOU ENGAGING IN THIS DECEPTION?)And the first time he was asked about his taxes on the ‘Today’ show, he said, you know, they’re beautiful, alright, they’re big and they’re beautiful. Well, great, let us see them. He likes to tell people how well he’s done. Why isn’t he willing to let us look at the tax returns? And that’s something — I mean, this was an issue in my campaign, that’s why I’m so sensitive to it. It’s an issue in my campaign. we’re going to select our nominee. We really ought to see, from all three of these fellows, what their taxes look like, to see if there’s an issue there. I think in Donald Trump’s case it’s likely to be a bombshell.” (ONLY A BOMBSHELL IF INFORMATION IS PROCESSED BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS AND SCRIPTED AS FACT. )
    Romney concluded, “You know, Donald Trump has said he’s the best in the country for the disabled veterans, and for the disabled generally. Well, if his taxes show that he hasn’t made any contributions to the disabled veterans, or to the disabled generally, that would be a big issue. (LIKE HELL IT WOULD BE AN ISSUE. IT SHOWS NOTHING OTHER THAN HE DID NOT CLAIM A CHARITIABLE DEDUCTION. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT CLAIM EVERY SINGLE DEDUCTION. MANY OF TRUMP’S CHARITABLE GIVINGS ARE NOT EVEN DEDUCTIBLE, LIKE THE MILITARY GUY STUCK IN MEXICAN JAIL THAT HE HELPED YUGE WHEN HE WAS FINALLY RELEASED.)So — and I’m not saying that’s the case. I have no evidence of that. But I’m just saying there are things that could be issues, and when people decide they don’t want to give you their taxes, it’s usually because there’s something they don’t want you to see.” (BULLPUCKY! PEOPLE DON’T WANT THE PUBLIC TO SEE THEIR TAXES BECAUSE THEY ARE CONFIDENTIAL, AND NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU DID BUSINESS WITH. )
