Gorillary.

That's what I'm going to title this comic juxtaposition at Drudge today:

Michael K said...: I like the Brennan threat today against Trump.

Maybe he is going to set his KGB friends on the case.; 3/17/18, 4:20 PM
Deep State Reformer said...: The cult of personality built around that women is such that she'll be around forever. Even after she dies.; 3/17/18, 4:26 PM
Richard Dillman said...: Nor sure I get the XX symbol. Is Hillary deleted? Or is Northern California where bigfoot lives, who may resemble the Gorilla?

Hillary=Gorilla. OK.; 3/17/18, 4:26 PM
Big Mike said...: "Hillary Goes Away"? If only!!!; 3/17/18, 4:33 PM
traditionalguy said...: I know. Gorilla brings to mind Gorilla Glue. And Hillary's hands have stuck like glue to every pay off , kick back and pay to play dollar sent into the USA by foreign countries since 1992. Follow the gorilla glue.; 3/17/18, 4:38 PM
Danno said...: I hope she will be on the Gorilla Channel.; 3/17/18, 4:40 PM
Earnest Prole said...: Nor sure I get the XX symbol.

It's because the rural, conservative counties of Northern California and Southern Oregon have been double-crossed by the liberal big cities for so many years. The article, from the Los Angeles Times, is a reasonably fair introduction to the proposed State of Jefferson.; 3/17/18, 4:42 PM
madAsHell said...: Is the right hand covered because there is no cast?.....or she doesn't want you to know who signed the cast?; 3/17/18, 4:50 PM
Chuck said...: That flag from "The State of Jefferson" reminds me of Charlie Chaplin's marvelous "The Great Dictator":

Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: Tell me she doesn’t look just a little tipsy.; 3/17/18, 4:58 PM
tcrosse said...: To my eye, the extra long sleeve is reminiscent of a straitjacket

That fits, because that baby blue number looks like one of those hospital gowns that open up the back, God Help Us.; 3/17/18, 5:02 PM
Richard Dillman said...: Its Lady Macbeth and the clean hand obsessed gorilla alludes to Lady M's hand washing obsession.; 3/17/18, 5:03 PM
Earnest Prole said...: That flag from "The State of Jefferson" reminds me of Charlie Chaplin's marvelous "The Great Dictator"

The original Jefferson secession movement was somewhat comic,
as this vintage newsreel shows.; 3/17/18, 5:10 PM
madAsHell said...: I like the Brennan threat today against Trump.

I guess we are learning about all the rice bowls that Trump is kicking over.

Honestly, how did we end up with so many children running the show. McCabe's response to his firing could have been written by a 5th grader. The former spook-in-chief scolding a President about his moral turpitude. Eric Holder proposing a knife fight. Samantha Power proclaiming it's not a good idea to piss off John Brennan.

These people are really quite full of themselves. My guess is that Ft. Marcy park is going to get real busy.

P.S. I hope someone shows Eric how to hold a knife.; 3/17/18, 5:10 PM
robother said...: A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs...; 3/17/18, 5:11 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: Lady Macbeth and the clean hand obsessed gorilla alludes to Lady M’s hand washing obsession.

Yes, she spent the whole #METOO movement shouting “Out, out, damned spot!”; 3/17/18, 5:17 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: I got a kick out of the threat of retaliation against Trump from little miss “I never authorized all of those unmaskings of NSA intercepts that were done in my name!” Samantha Powers; 3/17/18, 5:19 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: He really is “fearless leader” in my book.; 3/17/18, 5:20 PM
Kevin said...: The former spook-in-chief scolding a President about his moral turpitude.

And don't you think he got a secret thrill as he deleted "immorality" and replaced it with "moral turpitude"?

Certainly those reading his missive of displeasure would now know who was the better in the exchange!; 3/17/18, 5:20 PM
Darrell said...: She's got a gun in her right hand!!

Note to Huma: Now's the time to superglue a gun into her right hand.; 3/17/18, 5:21 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: "the night that Director Comey was fired, the next morning on the phone, that afternoon in person, and then about a few days later when I was interviewed for the job of permanent director. In every one of those interactions, the president brought up my wife.” - Andy “Office Boy” McCabe (Politico)

It seems like Trump, a politician, was wrong to question why Hillary’s crony took such a large interest in a campaign for state senator that he provided a half a million dollars for yard signs, and gas for the car, I guess.; 3/17/18, 5:28 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: She had never even run for office, and her only political experience was being the wife of the guy overseeing the investigation into McAuliffe’s close friend Hillary.; 3/17/18, 5:30 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: Trump always said he gave money to politicians in case he needed favors, which is why most people who give large amounts do it. Trump gave Hillary less money that McAuliffe gave McCabe’s wife for her state senate run, and Hillary and Bill showed up at Trump’s wedding.

He’s the light bringer, Trump, and cockroaches hate that!; 3/17/18, 5:32 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Nobody makes a muu-muu look so charming as Hillary.

And gorillas don't wear muu-muus.; 3/17/18, 5:33 PM
Trumpit said...: When is it not okay to make fun of someones looks, or the way they dress? Trump is repeatedly ridiculed for looking like an orangutang, so does that make it's okay to compare Hillary to a gorilla? For laughs? I sense fear on the part of right-wingers that Hillary might make a comeback as soon as 2020, so she must continually be made fun of. Nixon lost to Kennedy in 1960, but became president in 1968. In elementary school, I was dragged into the principals office for flicking something or other at a kid with a skin disease if I remember correctly (I probably don't). I was acting cruelly for no real reason. It is something to be self-aware of, and perhaps, in the name of decency, restrain oneself.; 3/17/18, 5:34 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Everyone, I have made a discovery:

Trumpit is actually the new personality of America's Politico!; 3/17/18, 5:40 PM
Fabi said...: "I sense fear on the part of right-wingers that Hillary might make a comeback as soon as 2020, so she must continually be made fun of."

You figured it out -- we're afraid of the Wobbly MuuMuu in 2020.; 3/17/18, 5:42 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 3/17/18, 5:45 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: I'm sorry for making fun of the gorilla. He is an innocent primate - just like Hillary.; 3/17/18, 5:47 PM
tcrosse said...: I sense fear on the part of right-wingers that Hillary might make a comeback as soon as 2020, so she must continually be made fun of.

It's the Democrats who are afraid of that. Republicans would be delighted for her to run again and again and again.; 3/17/18, 5:50 PM
Jon Ericson said...: She had never even run for office, and her only political experience was being the wife of the guy overseeing the investigation into McAuliffe’s close friend Hillary.

Ooh. succinct, tim.; 3/17/18, 5:52 PM
Big Mike said...: To my eye, the extra long sleeve is reminiscent of a straitjacket.

As I wrote upthread, if only!!; 3/17/18, 6:01 PM

What rough Hildebeast, its hour come round at last
Slouches toward Iowa to be born?; 3/17/18, 6:03 PM
Michael K said...: " McCabe's response to his firing could have been written by a 5th grader. "

What did you expect him to day>

"You got me, copper !"; 3/17/18, 6:03 PM
tcrosse said...: What did you expect him to say ?

The dog ate my integrity.; 3/17/18, 6:07 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: "I sense fear on the part of right-wingers that Hillary might make a comeback as soon as 2020..."

Don’t throw my in the briar patch!; 3/17/18, 6:12 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: Trump is repeatedly ridiculed for looking like an orangutang, so does that make it's okay to compare Hillary to a gorilla? For laughs?

Gee... I better go look that up on SmirkingChimp.com.; 3/17/18, 6:14 PM
Jon Ericson said...: The trolls don't seem to have a take on this yet.
Where are their thought leaders on this?
The 4:00AM drop wasn't quite ready.
Sunday shows will be crap as usual.
Dot the i's and cross the t's.
Soon.
Or as they say at AOSHQ:
#twoweeks

Inga...Allie Oop said...: Clinton Derangement Syndrome on steroids.; 3/17/18, 6:20 PM
tcrosse said...: Wait until the Inga Derangement Syndrome kicks in.; 3/17/18, 6:21 PM
Jon Ericson said...: That got its attention.
*snort*; 3/17/18, 6:22 PM
Drago said...: "McCabe's response to his firing could have been written by a 5th grader."

At no point in his statement did McCabe deny the charges. He just yelled "Trump!!"

That speaks volumes.; 3/17/18, 6:24 PM
Drago said...: "I sense fear on the part of right-wingers that Hillary might make a comeback as soon as 2020,.."

I ain't no ways "taaaaarrrrrred" of Hillary "comebacks"....; 3/17/18, 6:25 PM
Howard said...: The media loves Hillary to the same degree that they hate Nixon. Even being the agnostic I am, I pray to Gaia she doesn't run because 20/20 hindsight is a useless as tits on a tranny (NTTAWWT).; 3/17/18, 6:29 PM
Jon Ericson said...: Yep, no direction from on high today.
But wait 'till tomorrow!
We'll have plenty to repeat!; 3/17/18, 6:33 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: The best part is he really wants that money. I don't know this guy, but he might be one of those little people jumped up above his station into this big time clique of corruptibles, a guy who could be not ready to handle the pressure or to take a fall. He drives a Kia? How is he going to pay Benjamin Brafman to get him off? He's lucky if he can afford Lionel Hutz.

We'll see who flips first.; 3/17/18, 6:34 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Blogger Drago said...

That speaks volumes.

You know what it really says? It says he's alone, he has no resources. He is so not ready for this. If the government went after him the way they went after Flynn and Manafort and all of them, they'd crack McCabe like an egg.; 3/17/18, 6:35 PM
madAsHell said...: Trumpit is actually the new personality of America's Politico!

His English has improved.; 3/17/18, 7:00 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: I would be a lot less bothered by Hillary if anybody could explain her actions other than by just telling me that rich people who own newspapers and news channels don’t think she did anything wrong.; 3/17/18, 7:09 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: McCabe says he had Comey’s permission to leak to the press!; 3/17/18, 7:10 PM
Michael K said...: If the government went after him the way they went after Flynn and Manafort and all of them, they'd crack McCabe like an egg.

If it looked like he was going to do so, he would be worried. If I were him, I would not go out at night alone.; 3/17/18, 7:23 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: [T]wo key federal law enforcement officials conspired to meet with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) judge who presided over the federal case against Michael Flynn. The judge, Rudolph Contreras, was recused from handling the case just days after accepting the guilty plea of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser who was charged with making false statements to federal investigators.

The text messages about Contreras between controversial Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lawyer Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the senior FBI counterintelligence official who was kicked off Robert Mueller's special counsel team, were deliberately hidden from Congress, multiple congressional investigators told The Federalist.

OH, and this is interesting in another way.

The pair even schemed about how to set up a cocktail or dinner party just so Contreras, Strzok, and Page could speak without arousing suspicion that they were colluding. Strzok expressed concern that a one-on-one meeting between the two men might require Contreras’ recusal from matters in which Strzok was involved.

“[REDACTED] suggested a social setting with others would probably be better than a one on one meeting,” Strzok told Page. “I’m sorry, I’m just going to have to invite you to that cocktail party.”

“Have to come up with some other work people cover for action,” Strzok added.

“Why more?” Page responded. “Six is a perfectly fine dinner party.”

It is not known whether the proposed party happened as planned.

You know who else met with these people under the guise of a "party"? The Russian Lawyer and GPS Fusion. Before and after the Trump Tower meeting. Almost sounds like tradecraft.; 3/17/18, 7:42 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: "REDACTED" LOL, probably Eric Holder, maybe Cheryl Mills.; 3/17/18, 7:43 PM
Just asking questions (Jaq) said...: I wonder if the Trump haters don't wish that new incriminating facts would keep pouring out like this against Trump. Instead it all points to Hillary. "Out out, damned spot!"

Of course the above was originally withheld from Congress for "National Security" reasons. They have zero respect for the Congress's constitutional duty of oversight.; 3/17/18, 7:48 PM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: "I sense fear on the part of right-wingers that Hillary might make a comeback as soon as 2020, so she must continually be made fun of."

Forgive me for piling on, but I can assure you that the fear you sense is actually barely suppressed hilarity. HRC insists on clowning herself. It would be rude not to laugh.
There is not a ghost of a chance of Hillary running in 2020. Not even the Left could be that clueless.; 3/17/18, 8:21 PM
bgates said...: It is something to be self-aware of

You could just be aware of it.; 3/17/18, 9:11 PM
Big Mike said...: There is not a ghost of a chance of Hillary running in 2020. Not even the Left could be that clueless.

I wouldn’t bet the mortgage on the left not being that stupid.; 3/17/18, 9:28 PM
Gahrie said...: There is not a ghost of a chance of Hillary running in 2020. Not even the Left could be that clueless.

I'm willing to bet $500 that if she's alive she runs. Probably with a pledge to serve only 1 term and to support her VP (Harris? Booker? Newsome? Castro?) to replace her.

I don't know if the Clinton machine will still be powerful enough to get her the nomination though.; 3/18/18, 1:02 AM
Gahrie said...: Trumpit is actually the new personality of America's Politico!

Perhaps performance art by the same person writing Trumpit? A.P. was always a happy warrior spouting Leftist nonsense. Trumpit is just endless ill tempered provocation.; 3/18/18, 1:06 AM
Bad Lieutenant said...: But they both meet around the bend. The key was the descent into unrealism, silliness. You see that he/she/it does not deny it.; 3/18/18, 1:27 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Yeah, the same person writes both. I don't know who is the real person if any.; 3/18/18, 1:28 PM
