Just because the Health Care Industrial complex has LOUDLY endorsed Joe Biden, that doesn't mean Biden endorses them.  He could still have his "Sister Souljah" moment and smack down this "Joe is running to kill single payer" talk, but I'd view that as a long shot, based on the fact that he needs money. And yet, he did say that we are in a "battle for the soul of the nation" so maybe his all out pro-corporate stance on issues such as outsized guaranteed profits for insurers and BigPharma at the expense of the soul of America has softened(?)  

Chris Coon's National Prayer Breakfast played an important role in Russian intelligence gathering operations.

Delaware's Tom Carper isn't the only doddering old geezer blocking up the halls of the Senate. Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley showed what happens when an aged, out-of-touch political lifer holds…

Washington (CNN)- President Donald Trump took a literal shit on the Constitution Thursday evening at the National Archives. Preservationist working to restore the document called the President's excrement as "terrible as you might expect." According to his spokesperson, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the President was motivated by a strong desire to "own Libs" which is getting more difficult by the day in the third year of his term. "It was easy to own libs two years ago," said Sanders "Now people barely remember the old norms of behavior, and you have all these Democrats in congress who it is impossible to get a rise out of, so you have get pretty extreme to own libs." When asked if "owning libs" was a valuable policy pursuit for the country Sanders simply gave her "What the fuck do you think" look.

Joe is in. I have a feeling that there are DL'ers who would prefer a different candidate, but everyone agrees that he would be better than Donald Trump. His announcement video (below the fold) is guileless and direct in its approach to what he thinks the country needs right now. I'd gladly support him if he wins the nomination. I also love and will gladly support whoever the Democrats nominate provided that contest is fair and transparent.

This seems like a meritorious effort on the part of LBR, but there is a catch. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, a liberal Democrat from Delaware, and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, a…

It's simple: Name something Joe Biden has been involved with that he didn't fuck up. The Anita Hill hearings, the "new Jim Crow" crime bill, his first two presidential runs,…
