Month: October 2018

There's little doubt that Willie Dixon was the greatest songwriter of what is known as 'Chicago Blues'. His songs have been covered by everybody. We're talking classics.  I'm gonna feature…

America today is like Brett Kavanaugh's Yale dorm bathroom: Vomit-stained as a result of a depraved display of privilege, power and irresponsibility. And though Democrats made it close for quite…

So... the media has been framing the Kavanaugh "debate" around who do you believe? Do you believe Christine Blasey Ford or do you believe Brett Kavanaugh. That's a bullshit construct…

It is times like these when I feel really sick about the fact that the Democrats nominated an unpopular, deeply flawed candidate to take on the publicity savvy carnival barker.

Only this...

Women for Kavanaugh, and many others who support this very good man, are gathering all over Capital Hill in preparation for a 3-5 P.M. VOTE. It is a beautiful thing to see – and they are not paid professional protesters who are handed expensive signs. Big day for America! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2018

No sooner had Joe Manchin announced that he would be voting for Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump Jr. trolled him with this tweet

A real profile in courage from Lyin’ liberal @JoeManchinWV. Waited until Kavanugh had enough votes secured before he announced his support. I bet he had another press release ready to go if Collins went the other way. 

...and he is right. Manchin deserves all the scorn Trump Jr (and the voters of West Virginia) can heap on him. When Democrats give voters the choice between a real Republican and a fake Republican the only reasonable choice for Republicans is to vote for the real Republican. Similarly, the only reasonable choice for Democrats is to not vote. When Democrats vote for collaborationist lackeys like Manchin who support the GOP in their ongoing criminal and anti-American activities, all they are doing is weakening the efforts of Democrats who are trying to oppose the GOP in their ongoing criminal and anti-American activities. Bottom line - Fuck Joe Manchin.

Chris Coons will be leading the march to rehabilitate Judge Drunky Blackout-Rapist. Why? Because we all have to pretend that the Supreme Court is virtuous, great and mighty and that the Senate that voted him in is dignified and above board. Pretend, pretend, pretend or it all comes crashing down. Duncan Black said it first, and better.

This will be the impulse if Kavanaugh is confirmed. For the good of the country, we must respect the majesty of the Senate and the glory of our constitution and most of all the supreme respectability and nonpartisanitude of the Supreme Court and the majest of the LAW. Whatever the reality. Pressures to conform will be high. Pointing out that the club is maggot infested garbage is the quickest way to get yourself kicked out of the club. It will still fall to assholes like me* on the internet.

It isn't a protest song per se, but this Pogues song captures the scam that has been run on the middle class and poor and squeezes it into a Christmas…

It is the so-called "decent" Republicans who are keeping Trump in office through their silent complicity. Every Republican who is not on the record is a Trump supporter. Every vote for a Trump supporter is a vote for Trump. A vote for Ken Simpler is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Ernesto Lopez is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Greg Lavelle is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Rob Arlett is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Scott Walker is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Bernard Pepukayi is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for James Spadola is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Bryan Kapitanic is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Colin Bonini ...

From the New York Times, quoting Chris Coons after his turn reviewing the 1,000-page whitewash of Brett Kavanaugh: “The materials I just reviewed did not answer all of the questions…
