For the Record: Devin's Farm

Apparently Devin Nunes, scourge of the House Select Committee on Intelligence and special secret emissary of the White House to the Hill, has gotten tired of all those people mocking him for claiming he's a Tulare County family farmer just because the family dairy farm moved to Iowa some years ago without him, where it's generally worked by undocumented immigrants, while he himself stayed in California growing fragrant and multi-flowered paranoid fantasies about President Trump and the FBI, so he's bought himself a spread of acres in his district, well, maybe half an acre:

Nunes, R-Tulare, reported on a newly released financial disclosure form that he owns a Tulare County farm that generates no income for him and is worth less than $15,000.

Nunes has never before claimed a farm as one of his assets in annual financial disclosures, according to public records dating back to 2007.

That suggests he either bought a small part in a farm recently or he improperly filed previous financial disclosures, according to Delaney Marsco, legal counsel on ethics for the nonpartisan watchdog group Campaign Legal Center.

“Either he had a tiny stake in this farm all along and he’s been improperly filing financial disclosures, or he bought a tiny, tiny farm this year in order to protect his reputation as a farmer in his district,” Marsco said.

Except the reporters couldn't find any records that he or his wife had bought any land in 2018 either, so who knows? Anyway, I just couldn't really resist:

you can stretch out lengthwise in it
if your legs are not too long
and pick up all that crabgrass off the floor
ain't gonna work on Devin's farm no more

and when you finally get there
they don't have no work at all
they're all out eating cookies at the store
no I ain't gonna work for Devin's mom no more

the foreman speaks some English
but he doesn't like my face
and he says ¿Que haces tu aquí señor?
ain't gonna work for Devin's brother no more

Also, Nunes posted the following remarkable thing:

Quite an interesting art sculpture... pic.twitter.com/QpR3x4n40N

He didn't say what kind of sculpture it might have been if it wasn't an art sculpture (our friend Ellis Weiner suggested maybe a kitsch sculpture, but that's almost too easy).  I suggested it might be a representation of Donald's esophagus: titled, "The Last Taco Bowl".
