Climate Change Forces Hundreds of Thousands to Evacuate as fires rage in California – Delaware Congressional Delegation Utterly Useless
Chris Coons gets the vapors when he hears “lock him up” chanted at a baseball game because he knows how richly he deserves being locked up himself for his utter uselessness.
“We want people to now enact predetermined plans, grab their belongings, their medications, take care of their pets and be able to get out of that area in a safe and calm manner,” Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Erik Scott said. “This is a very dynamic fire and all residents … need to be vigilant and stay informed.”
Honestly… What the fuck, Chris?
Seriously. What’s up with this, Senator? What’s your game? You can’t get any further up Joe Scarborough’s ass than you already are. You can’t further impress the Notre Dame law school panel with your even-handedness. You are at the very top of the pile of media ass-kissers. Your disappointed school marm act isn’t getting you any higher on the list of Democrats that make everyone feel slightly queasy. You are numero uno! You’ve locked it up. Relax. Take your foot off the gas. Enjoy the view of Scarborough’s rectal polyps. Mika is going to start looking at you funny if you keep this shit up.
Washington (CNN) Democratic Sen. Chris Coons on Monday shunned chants of “lock him up” aimed at President Donald Trump by the crowd at World Series Game 5. “I have a hard time with the idea of a crowd on a globally televised sporting event chanting ‘lock him up’ about our President. I frankly think the office of the President deserves respect, even when the actions of our President at times don’t,” Coons told CNN’s John Berman on “New Day.”

Feds Haven’t Acquired Land For Trump’s Vanity Wall. And, wouldn’t you just know it? The land where most of the crossings occur aren’t impacted at all by what’s been built. Victim Of Revenge Porn Resigns From Congress. I hope she sues the shit out of the malefactors (emphasis on ‘male’) and wins. Trump Almost Screwed […]
Song(s) Of The Day 10/28: The Kinks-Three From ‘Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)’
While everyone else was zigging from Woodstock to Altamont in 1969, the Kinks, who were barred from the US due to alleged misbehavior on a previous tour, zagged. Created this masterpiece with an interesting backstory. And great songs:
Trump Expected Love at Baseball Game – Got Loudly Booed
Trump lives in a bubble. Having presided over the killing of the leader of ISIS, Trump fully expected to be cheered at the World Series game like it was a #MAGA rally. World Series fans had another idea.
Donald Trump’s face dropped at Game 5 of the World Series last night when he realized that he was being booed by baseball fans at the 41,000 capacity stadium.
In the build up to Sunday’s match between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros at the Nationals Park stadium in D.C., fans cheered and applauded as players stepped up to their bases. But the atmosphere turned when President Trump appeared on the jumbotron.
The chorus of cheers turned into thundering boos when the commander-in-chief appeared on-screen beside First Lady Melania Trump and a group of Republicans—including Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Joe Scar had a big sad about the booing, but fuck that guy. Fuck Trump & baseball for that matter.
Joe Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Grade, C+
In addition to being an old white guy who has been in the Senate since before you were born, Biden has one other big thing in common with Bernie. He is who he is. Like Bernie, you are rarely going to be surprised by Biden, and predictably the ’60 Minutes’ interview that just aired didn’t […]
El Somnambulo Barely Escapes Clutches Of The Marriott Cult
A generous benefactor gifted us a vacation to San Diego as my wife had been nominated for a national pharmacy award. As such, we were guests at the Marriott Pulse Hotel. I emphasize ‘guests’ as the hotel also serves as a spot for ‘owners’ of Marriott Vacation Club plans. When we checked in, a staffer […]

Carney Nominates Seitz To Be Supreme Court Chief Justice And Tamika Montgomery-Reeves As Associate Justice. I can only hope that Seitz has the same sense of social justice as his fabled father. AG: Wilmington City Council Can’t Stifle Dissenters. Betcha they don’t pursue any prosecution of Dion Wilson for ‘harassment and disorderly conduct’ either. If […]

Song Of The Day 10/27: Roger McGuinn-Ballad Of Easy Rider
Legend has it that Dylan scrawled the opening lines on a napkin and said, ‘Give it to McGuinn, he’ll know what to do with it.’ After viewing a private screening of the film, Dylan demanded that his name be removed from the songwriting credit–either b/c he didn’t like the movie, and/or he didn’t want his […]

A federal judge tossed weeks of Republican process arguments in the garbage, ruling that Congress has the right to see the redacted grand jury testimony from the Mueller investigation. Just a thought, but wouldn’t an innocent person want an investigation to clear his name? Proof that Trump surrounds himself with the best people: Rudy Giuliani, […]
