Not Breaking:  Biden is Making the Same Old  Dem Mistake

Good news everyone!! Biden has now locked up the “Republicans Who Don’t like Trump” vote. Huzzah! All 15,370 defectors are voting for Biden. Isn’t that awesome? Biden is gong to CRUSH in Fairfax County Virginia.

I guess he is going to pivot to trying to win the “Democrats who like Democrats” vote. That’s going to be awesome!

WASHINGTON — Several hundred former aides to President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain announced Thursday that they are endorsing Joe Biden for president.

The statements of support for the Democratic nominee come as President Donald Trump prepares to accept his party’s nomination on the final night of the Republican National Convention.

Song of the Day 8/27: Elvis Costello, “Monkey to Man”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 27, 2020 3 Comments

When surveying the state of our society, I am reminded that, though humans like to put on intellectual airs, we’re actually just a bunch of apes — advanced monkeys — who invented agriculture and clothing. And nobody, outside of coconut plantations in Thailand, has ever said, “You know what would help this situation? Monkeys.” Nobody […]

Trump Supporter Shot Kenosha Protestors.  Oh, and you’ve got armed militia wandering around.  They’re always more dangerous than peaceful protestors. Major sports events canceled as athletes protest.  Will protests turn suburbanites against the Democrats? Hurricane Laura.  The good news is it appears that the massive storm surge didn’t happen. That, and that it hit in […]

Song of the Day 8/27: Haim, “The Steps”

I’m a sucker for a guitar pop song with a good hook, and this trio of sisters from the San Fernando Valley has come up with another one for their third LP, “Women in Music Pt. III.” I’m not sure why they aren’t more popular, but it might have to do with the fact that […]

Wilmington’s Mayoral Town Hall.  Give it a listen if you’re interested in the City’s immediate future. Rethugs Throw Hatch Act Out With The Trash.  The normalization of autocracy is here. Trump loves this lawlessness, and he successfully exploits it.  He will use every tool.  Don’t mean to scare anybody, but 538 gives Trump a 3 […]

Song of the Day 8/25: Justin Townes Earle, “Harlem River Blues”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 25, 2020 2 Comments

Justin Townes Earle died last week at age 38 in Nashville, apparently of a drug overdose, cutting short a promising career conducted in the shadow of his famously hell-raising father, outlaw-country rocker Steve Earle. Steve wanted to name him after his old running buddy Townes van Zandt, but his mother vetoed that idea because she […]

Insurance Commissioner (D Primary): Trinidad Navarro vs. Kayode Abegunde.  There are circumstances under which I could be persuaded to consider someone other than Navarro for this office.  This is not one of those circumstances.  Abegunde’s campaign, such as it is, has all the earmarks of a vanity campaign. He hasn’t really engaged in a debate […]

Does Jerry Falwell Jr Have a Cuckold Fetish, and Did That Fetish Get Trump Elected? – Epilogue

DelawareLiberal’s first “Jerry Fallwell Jr Cuckold Fetish” post went up on September 3rd, 2019 following a story that appeared in Rolling Stone. (See below)

Here is a quick summary of what went down:

1) Jerry Fallwell Jr and his wife indulged in cuckold fetish activities with a range of partners.

2) Putin’s GRU very likely passed info and pictures to the Trump campaign.

3) On January 25, 2016, Fallwell shocked the evangelical community be endorsing Trump when he had already said that he was going to endorse Ted Cruz.

4) Trump won the evangelical vote in spite of being recorded saying that he liked to grab women “by the pussy”

Alternate Realities Run Amok at the RNC

Alternate Realities Run Amok at the RNC
  • Trump saved America from China Flu by putting in a travel ban.
  • He is a great, decisive leader who does the right thing even when it isn’t “politically correct” or popular.
  • Trump has saved American manufacturing and we have “the greatest economy in history” as a result.
  • Only Republicans are patriotic.  
  • Democrats are hate-filled monsters.
  • Biden is a violent leftist radical who wants to destroy America, especially the churches and the suburbs.

I watched a little of that nonsense last night and it all makes sense to them. I’m sure if you gave that diseased looking weasel, Don Jr, a shot of truth serum his unhinged rants would not change one iota.

Song of the Day 8/24: Old 97s, “Turn Off the TV”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 24, 2020 0 Comments

I consider this timely advice for Americans who prefer to avoid the Republican Trump National Convention and its most common side effect, an overproduction of bile. This cut comes from the new album by Old 97s, one of the few surviving bands from the alt-country boom in the mid-’90s. The video features YouTube star Puddles […]
