Would the end of the republic just hurry up and get here FFS?
I've heard talking heads on TV say that the DoJ doesn't want to appeal the bullshit rulings they are getting from the Coons/Trump judge because it could end in the Supreme Court and the extremists court could just simply rule that Trump is still really President.
Can't we just stop fucking around and get to that point? Let them declare him President and let's take it from there. Being afraid of what Republicans will do or say is a bullshit strategy. Being afraid of Trump is what got us here.
I have no problem with Dems skipping so-called “debates”
I have no problem with LBR skipping out on "debating" Gomurph. First of all they aren't "debates" Murph, or whoever the GOP shithead is on the stage is just going…
Song of the Day 9/16: King Harvest, “Dancing in the Moonlight”

The TV watching public (which is everybody but me, basically) is in a tizzy. The streaming services that have replaced cable TV, which replaced broadcast TV, are slashing programming, removing…

Media scolds yesterday chided Joe Biden for flying Air Force One to Delaware to -- sit down now -- vote in Tuesday's primaries. "But, but, but he could have voted…

Song of the Day 9/14: Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, “The Tears of a Clown”
Colin Bonini always reminded me of a clown. Not figuratively, literally. He's a large man -- his everyday shoes are clown-sized -- but his smile isn't painted on, it's real.…

Voters Smack Down Schwartzkopf/McGuiness
Lydia York defeated the convicted state auditor by a roughly 2 to 1 margin. Â In addition to being a referendum on not having convicted criminals hold public office, this vote is widely seen as a repudiation of Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf who was a tenacious supporter of the convicted auditor.
