DL Open Thread: Thursday, January 27, 2022
Breyer Foils McConnell’s Plans: Those plans weren’t even secret. McConnell baldly stated last summer that he was “highly unlikely” to allow Biden to fill a vacancy in 2024, should the Senate revert to Republican control in these midterms. He added that he might just refuse to hold hearings in 2023 as well, should a vacancy come […]
Treasonous State House Lawyers – Lock Those Motherfuckers Up
Not all enemies of the constitution wear Gravy Seals cosplay costumes. Some wear nice suits and expensive ties.
(CNN)Federal prosecutors are reviewing fake Electoral College certifications that declared former President Donald Trump the winner of states that he lost, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco told CNN on Tuesday.
“We’ve received those referrals. Our prosecutors are looking at those and I can’t say anything more on ongoing investigations,” Monaco said in an exclusive interview.
The fake certificates falsely declaring Trump’s victory were sent to the National Archives by Trump’s allies in mid-December 2020. They have attracted public scrutiny amid the House’s January 6 investigation into the pressure campaign that sought to reverse Trump’s electoral defeat.

Mehmet Oz v. David McCormick Primary Air Wars – Momentum Builder or Character Killer?
New Jersey Celebrity Chef Mehmet Oz and Connecticut hedge fund executive David McDickhead must both have very deep pockets. If you own a TV you know that the US Senate wannabes and their proxies have been throwing mountains of cash at TV ads in the Philly area. The primary is scheduled for May 17. At this […]
Song of the Day 1/26: Jane’s Addiction, “Been Caught Stealing”
Yeah, I know, the guy is probably suffering from something worse than PTSD, but how could I resist? Besides, I like the song, even if I think Perry Farrell is an odd duck. This video was all over MTV when it came out in 1990 on “Ritual de lo Habitual,” and the song stayed big […]
Jerry Falwell Jr. Cuckold Fetish Rumors Watch Wrap Up – Coda
When you think this is all wrapped up, the consummate attention whores go out whoring for more attention. In this episode Jerry and Becki streisand effect themselves in an interview with Vanity Fair. I will probably not read that interview, but get a load of this nugget:
“Because of my last name, people think I’m a religious person. But I’m not,” Falwell Jr., 59, told Vanity Fair in the interview,.
AH, YES! It was the name. It wasn’t going around for 30 or so years pretending to be a religious person that gave people that erroneous impression.

DL Open Thread Wednesday January 26 2022

Song of the Day 1/25: Arcade Fire, “Games Without Frontiers”
I have featured Peter Gabriel’s song about international diplomacy before, but it seems apt today in light of all the recent media saber-rattling. Besides, I had forgotten about this cover Arcade Fire recorded for 2013’s “And I’ll Scratch Yours,” a Gabriel-commissioned project featuring artists whose songs he covered on “Scratch My Back.” The recurrent phrase […]
What does Putin want?
If you think that Putin isn’t deploying 100,000 troops, short-range ballistic missiles, and elite spetsnaz operators on the Ukranian border for nothing, this explanation of what Putin actually wants makes sense. We continue not to know what Vladimir Putin intends nor wants with his massive military buildup around Ukraine, accompanied by diplomatic demands, primarily on […]
