This week in GOP stupidity

 Troy Mayor Carmella Mantello is the daughter of a police officer, but, it seems these days, she has the comportment of a stubborn mule.

On Thursday, the Troy City Council, voting along party lines, narrowly approved plans to relocate City Hall to the Proctors building on 4th Street between State Street & Broadway.

This is despite the fact that while the City is obligated to remain in the Hedley Building on River Street until 2029, at the start of the Mayor's re-election campaign, she wants out, and wants to move into the Proctor Building in 2027.

I remember reading her letters to the editor in El Cheapo Media for a number of years, and the recurring theme coming from her was "I want", not "I think the city needs". Affluenza much, Madame Mayor? You're making this more about you and what you want, not the city's needs, at this point. Reopening Knickerbacker Ice Arena over the winter now seems like a distant memory in light of this.

A public meeting is scheduled for Proctors on Wednesday, and the forecast calls for rain in the 518. Fitting, don't you think?

Meanwhile, President Pampers (Donald Trump) is directing the Department of Injustice to subpoena NY Attorney General Leticia James. Why? Political retribution, after James had filed suit against Trump over fraudulent business dealings, plus, Donnie Diapers is doing a solid for another brainless boob, the NRA's Wayne LaPierre, by seeking records from the AG's office regarding a suit filed against LaPierre & the NRA.

"WAAAAHHH! She lied!! WAAAHHHH!"

No, she didn't, dumbass. You're the liar.

Worse, US AG Pam "Dumb" Bondi has assigned her assistant, Ed Martin, to look into allegations of mortgage fraud against James and California Senator Adam Schiff. All because they dare to challenge the GOP's false god. In reality, this is yet another distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein case, as Trump is desperately trying to distance himself from the scandal. 51 years ago, Richard Nixon didn't resort to such distractions, and in August 1974, he resigned from the White House, almost halfway through his 2nd & final term. Then again, Nixon didn't have the attitude of an immature kindergartener who never grew up.

The bottom line is this. Trump doesn't like it when he's proven to be wrong, and doesn't know how to process it like an adult. Do us all a favor, Orange Beavis, and grow up!!!
