News That’s Not About Trump
It’s hard to find, but news occurs that doesn’t have anything to do with the Commander ‘n’ Thief almost every day. A representative sampling: Tennessee Cops Warn Flushed Drugs Create ‘Meth Gators’: As if the skunk ape wasn’t reason enough to avoid the swamplands of the South, a Tennessee police agency wants people to stop […]
Song of the Day 7/17: The Gourds, “Gin and Juice”
Snoop Dogg wrote and Dr. Dre produced this hip-hop classic in 1994, and the Gourds covered it less than two years later. An alt-country band from Austin, The Gourds recorded 10 albums before going on hiatus six years ago, but this cover of Snoop Dogg’s hit, sped up and changed to a major key, was […]
Pelosi Does Trump’s Work for Him
Remember how criticism of corporate Democrats — for example, a certain former presidential nominee — was billed as “doing the Republicans’ work for them” by her supporters? Just a reminder to Nancy Pelosi and all the other corporate-tool Democrats that when Pelosi attacks the Squad, she’s, yep, doing Trump’s work for him. And you can […]

The Leading Enablers Of The Opioid Epidemic. Absolutely essential reporting from the Washington Post, utilizing a DEA database that tracked every pain pill sold. BTW, did you know that, from 2006-2012, Delaware ranked #10 in the per capita consumption of opioids? You do now. 45 pills per person. And, yes, it was much more pronounced […]
Pelosi and Lisa Blunt Rochester’s Dismissiveness Strategy is Backfiring
I read this at TPM re Pelosi, but it really fits for our lazy-ass, do-nothing Congressperson, Lisa Blunt Rochester. Top elected Democrats are simply too dismissive of this hunger and this anger for oversight, for accountability and … yes, for confrontation. As MA himself notes, you’ve got a basic dynamic in which Democrats, even with […]
Trump is a Fucking Whackjob Imbecile
With everything going on I know that trying read yet another story about Trump being an idiot feels like overkill, but this isn’t a story. It is just Trump’s verbatim remarks at the “Social Media Summit” or whatever the fuck he called it. It is breathtaking, in a bad way.
On Using Twitter to Fuck With What Comes in his TV
I said watch, I’m going to do this. And I said, “We recognize the Golan Heights as being part of Israel.” It was a big thing. I go, watch this: boom! I press it, and within two seconds: “We have breaking news.” John Roberts of Fox was over. He said, “We have breaking news. Please, break it up.” Doesn’t matter what they’re talking about, John does it. He breaks it up.
Song of the Day 7/16: Roomie ft. Christine O’Donnell, “I’m Not a Witch”
Hey kidz, ‘memba the innocent days of nine years ago? Mike Castle was running for Senate and when he was challenged by Christine O’Donnell we all had a good laugh. When she released her still-infamous campaign ad, the Gregory Brothers were there to Songify it. It was just one of a string of hilarious but […]

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 […]
Lisa Blunt Rochester would like you to know that she has nothing but love for racist shithead Trump enabler
Just look at the voting record of this motherfucking racist-ass Trump enabler who said that Trump’s SOTU address was “an inspiring vision of American exceptionalism.” If you are wondering why LBR has so much love for racist-ass Trump enablers remember that anyone with an “R” after his name gives LBR bipartisanship street cred (which is far more valuable than integrity in LBR world).
Lisa Blunt Rochester would like you to know that she has issued a mild rebuke to the President via Twitter
Before that tweet was 3 hours old she piled four more tweets on top to push it down, because she simply will not allow the racist President to keep her from working with racist Republicans in Congress. #bipartisanship

Trump Utters Most Vile Public Racist Statement Of Any President Ever. If you think that Rethugs will react with disgust, allow me to present to you Lindsey Graham. Wilbur Ross Could Be Next To Go. Because he failed to get citizenship question added to census. Guess he gets no points for trying. Can Fla. Prosecutors […]
