The fall of Roe is the culmination of the Democratic establishment’s failures
It took long enough, but nevertheless – it is nice to see my position (that I’ve held consistently for the past 20 years) being widely adopted as the conventional wisdom. The overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the underwhelming reaction from senior Democratic leaders to that huge defeat, make the case even clearer that the […]
Song of the Day 6/30: Moby Grape, “Murder in My Heart for the Judge”
I’m sure millions of people these days can relate to the sentiment expressed by Moby Grape’s Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson, first released on “Wow,” the band’s flawed 1968 follow-up album to their eponymous LP of 1967. That album would have established them as San Francisco’s best band if their manager and record company hadn’t […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., June 30, 2022
SS1/SB 101. The entire Senate D Caucus (with the exception of Champion Of The Overdogs Spiros Mantzavinos) wants the House to pass this bill that affords legal protection for renters. The bill passed the Senate on June 8, 2021. Speaker Pete has been playing Rope-A-Dope with the bill ever since. Buried it in Stephanie Bolden’s […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, June 30, 2022
Yep. Played hooky. Saw my youngest daughter get her Masters in Sustainable Landscape Planning & Design. Went to the Green River Music Fest. Saw Allison Russell and Waxahatchee, among others. Read two whole books! Didn’t know I needed a break, but I did. I’m refreshed. Let’s see what intrigues my freshened brain… Wisconsin Court Keeps […]
REV and Bill Cover the McGuiness Trial Part 12 – The Last Full Day of Ruzzle-Drizzle
We may have a verdict this afternoon, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Today’s podcast covers yesterday’s events. No matter what happens, vote for Lydia York for Auditor.
In a miraculous turn of events, the trial of the century is now running ahead of schedule. The defense rests, but not before bashing MLB Hall of Famer Frank Robinson a few more times and trying to determine what Kathy knew and when she knew it. Ahead of closing arguments and a potential verdict, Rob and Bill discuss the their thoughts on the case so far.
Remember when that idiot (Trump) discouraged Georgia GOP voters From voting ?
Trump’s bizzaro pre-election messaging in Georgia doesn’t seem to come up, but this actually happened. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Tuesday (11/17/20) that President Donald Trump would have been victorious in Georgia’s election had he not discouraged people from participating in mail-in voting. During the campaign, Trump claimed that mail-in voting would lead to […]
Holy Shitballs “…we extended the Child Tax Credit”
Vice President Kamala Harris seems to be making the argument that the Democratic Party should just go into receivership. Let’s just sell off the desks, computers and shit and call it a day. CNN: What do you say to Democratic voters who argue “Wait a minute, we worked really hard to elect a Democratic president […]
Song of the Day 6/29: Little Feat, “Willin’”
The death toll in the case of the tractor-trailer filled with migrants abandoned in stifling heat in San Antonio, Texas, now stands at 51, making it the deadliest such tragedy in history. This shouldn’t count as much of a surprise — the border between the U.S. and Mexico is among the world’s deadliest, according to […]
REV and Bill Cover McGuiness Trial Part 11 – The Persecution Never Truly Rests
E191 – Kathy v Kathy Pt. 11: Hot Sheets The state finally rested its case today after calling a few more witnesses. After trying to get the whole case thrown out again, the defense begins with its slate of hardcore Kathy-heads and their favorite person: former Pennsylvania auditor Eugene DePasquale. Also, more phone calls from […]

Jan 6 hearings: Ex-aide paints devastating picture of Trump Turkey lifts veto on Finland, Sweden joining NATO, clearing path for expansion Last week, even before the coming holiday rush, about one-tenth of all scheduled flights at Boston’s Logan Airport were canceled, and more than a third were seriously delayed. Most observers expect next weekend […]
Chris Coons Deserves Every Turd Thrown at Him
I was talking to someone the other day who said he thought Jason gives Delaware’s junior senator too much shit. Duncan Black, who blogs as Atrios at eschatonblog.com, would beg to differ. His afternoon post: Don’t think Chris Coons gets enough shit for stopping witnesses from being called at Trump’s 2nd impeachment because he had […]
Song of the Day 6/28: Sean Ono Lennon, “Here, There and Everywhere”
At least two musicians recorded this song as a birthday tribute to Paul McCartney — one by Elvis Costello, the other by John Lennon’s son Sean. It’s an apt choice — McCartney said this was his favorite Beatles song. He wrote it one morning when he arrived at Lennon’s house while John was still sleeping, […]
A First Hand Witness to a Coup Attempt Speaks
Mark Meadows is a fucking liar and a traitor. Cassidy Hutchinson — a top aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows – was a first hand witness to the coup attempt by Trump and Meadows. https://www.msnbc.com/live
