The conservative grift seems like such an easy dodge: Mouth a few idiotic slogans you didn't even have to think up yourself, rake in the bucks (just ask Lauren Witzke).…

Has Murray’s “Tough on Blacks” AG Campaign Run Into Possible Legal Problems on Day One?
A Facebook commenter noticed something fishy about Murray's campaign. “Patriots 4 Delaware” is not a nonprofit PAC but a for-profit corp whose registered agent shares Murray’s firm’s address. This is…
Park City Kathy Snubbed by Fellow Scumbags
McGuinness apparently asked to speak to a Republican Women's group about her anticipated run for Gov, and got a big "Fuck no, you are a Democrat." I know, right. So…

Song of the Day 9/16: Tom Jones w/ CSN&Y, “Long Time Gone”

Can someone check in on Rick Jensen?
COVID is coming for MAGAfuckhead radio hosts like it is Colin Bonini being called to supper. I have't listened to Jensen for years, but I have to think that he is still watching Sean Hannity every night and parroting everything he hears over the airwaves everyday. (The easiest job in radio, provided you have no scruples.) Which means he is debating the undebatable science around vaccinations, and generally passing along wingnut anti-vax nonsense under the dishonest ruse of "just asking the question."
So...should someone check in on Jensen?
In recent weeks, several popular conservative talk radio hosts — including Phil Valentine of Nashville, Tennessee, and Marc Bernier of Daytona Beach, Florida, both longtime fixtures in their communities — died from Covid-19 after vocally opposing vaccination or questioning its value.
