Krugman: Rethuglican Party Is Nothing But A Bunch’a White Racists. No more dog whistles, we’re back to Lee Atwater’s ‘…niggerniggernigger’ meme.
They’re Also A Bunch’a Serial Rapist Enablers. GQ puts all the pieces together. BTW, turns out that Dershowitz is far worse than we realized.
Pa. AG Will Not Limit Krasner’s Jurisdiction. He flips his position at Netroots Nation. Somewhere, the Pa. FOP is polishing up the next Frank Rizzo. BTW, Kathleen Jennings was on this panel.
Pentagon’s Command Is–FUBAR. What could possibly go wrong?
Do Ya’ Like The B-52’s? This interactive history of their musical influences is so much fun. Don’t take my word for it, just immerse yourself in this.
What do you want to talk about?
His attacks on AOC et al knocked Trump/Epstein off the front page.
Re: PA limits on Krasner. Direct action worked.
Relatedly, we’re recording this week’s episode tonight. Returning champ & Bunker legal counsel Chris Johnson will discuss:

•The Democratic “leadership” who killed HB 196 (Wrongful Conviction)
•Shapiro backtracks on bill to hamstring Krasner.
And this fucking travesty:

Consider a patronage.
We discussed this and more!
A photographer got a shot of the notes Trump held for his racist presser, and it’s SAD to see that he needs help remembering this word vomit, and that he spells things phonetically (“al caida”).
Only 4 House R’s voted that Trump’s racist words were racist. I’m surprised there were that many. That party now owns racism as its identifying principle. Its sole identifying principle.
The four R’s who voted yes–Will Hurd of TX, who really should switch parties; Brian Fitzpatrick of Pa; Susan Brooks of Indiana; and Fred Upton of Michigan.
Also, newly-minted independent Justin Amash voted yes.
BTW, the vote was followed by an introduction of articles of impeachment against President Trump, sponsored by Rep. (not Rev.) Al Green of Texas. Time to burn up the phone lines to LBR’s office…
Yes.
With a name like Al Green you gotta work!
Anyone want to do a field trip to LBR’s spot? Friday works. IM Pei building. Famous. I’ll do all the talking if you’re scared.

Bunker was lively tonight. Someone declared the intention to foment an “Enlist Strine” movement!
