The slow, slow, slow….then fast of change
Remember Bill Cosby? Rumors circulated for years that he was a basically raping women. Stories were discussed online, an accuser might win a small mention in some out of the way paper like the Village Voice… then…
…the dam breaks. And it is all over.
The first accusers are the gutsy ones. “Bill Cosby? America’s Dad, raping? P’shaw.” They were twice victimized. Once by Cosby and once again by Cosby’s enablers. The ones that stream out into the open once the ground is softened, they are victims too, but they owe a huge debt to the vanguard.
Similarly, all Republicans will owe a debt to John MCCain, Jeff Flake and Bob Corker. These men are conservative a-holes who in normal times would be worthy of contempt. But these are not normal times.
BREAKING: Arizona Senator Jeff Flake Announces He Will Not Seek Reelection, Torches Trump
Alby broke the story as follows: BREAKING: Jeff Flake apparently taken up Jason’s offer, announcing Tuesday he will not seek re-election. Part of his statement: “Here’s the bottom line: The path that I would have to travel to get the Republican nomination is a path I’m not willing to take, and that I can’t in […]
I’m offering a limited amnesty to Delaware Republicans
The deal isn’t going to be around for long, and once it is gone, it is gone.
If you renounce Trump in similar terms to Sen. Bob Corker (below) by acknowledge that he is never going to be decent human or a good President, and if you apologize for voting for him, and you work to try and rehabilitate your party I will give a pass for having voted for Trump with your fingers crossed.
I’m not holding my breath that any Delaware Republicans will step up and take the olive branch. You know why? Just like congressional Republicans, the entire DEGOP is cowed by a handful of lunatics.
Will Ken Simpler take my deal? No way in hell.
Will Rob Arlett take my deal? Clearly No.
Will Mike Harrington or Emily Taylor? I seriously doubt it.

Delaware City Man Charged With Hate Crime. Good news? The (alleged) hater of Muslims had to surrender his guns. Bad news? He’s been released on bail. The Corporate Enabling Of Bill O’Reilly…And Other Serial Sexual Predators. I don’t give a bleep what company it is–if they create an atmosphere that promotes sexual misconduct, they need […]

Rethugs Sabotage Congressional Russia Investigations. They are a criminal enterprise. They’re just doing what criminals do. McCain Attacks Trump’s ‘Bone Spur’ Deferments.

Fox Paid $32 Mill To One Of O’Reilly’s Victims, Then Paid O’Reilly $25 Mill. The cost of doing business with a sexual predator. Bottom line: They knew he was a predator when they paid him $25 mill. It’s about time that all of these predators get what they deserve–including reputations in tatters. Hopefully along with […]

Four-Star General Is Four-Star Liar. I mean, Kelly really lied. Got caught and got called out on it. It’s easy when you’re acting that dismissive about a black legislator. He, of course, won’t apologize. And that Sarah Hucksterbee Sanders claims it’s ‘highly inappropriate’ to get in a debate with a four-star general. Sarah? It’s not […]
Too Many Republican Nazis Shooting at People to Keep Up With
Cis Gendered, Male, RightWing, and very Thin White Skin

General Kelly: Trump ‘Bravely’ Picked Up The Phone. The article does a great job of pointing out how phony and two-faced Trump and his enablers were on this. Including Kelly.

John Kelly believes women were “sacred” in the good old days
“When I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country,” he said. “Women were sacred and looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore, as we see from recent cases.”
Kelly’s got his aged head up his old man ass. It wasn’t women that were sacred…it was the silence of women that was sacred. It was the powerlessness of women that was sacred.

Tech Giants Resist Disclosure Of Who Paid For Political Ads. Facebook, Google and the like. Leading the charge against disclosure are…lawyers who worked for Hillary Clinton. Because protecting billions of dollars of their clients is more important than uncovering which foreign actors helped to deep-six her candidacy. I cannot make this stuff up. Trump Pledged […]
