“Show Up, Listen To Trump, Or Don’t Get Paid”. Those who didn’t go to Trump’s Pa. speech/photo op lost $700 each. Why? They skipped a so-called ‘training day’. The ‘training’? Quoting King Cheet-o: “I’m going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, ‘I hope you’re going to support Trump.’ OK?” he said. […]
Say Hello To…Cathy Cloutier’s Worst Nightmare
Her name is Kyle Evans Gay. She’s an attorney with Connolly Gallagher and lives in the same community where Cathy Cloutier, um, maintains a residence. I think she’s odds-on to win, especially in a district with current registration like this: 14,725 D; 10,526 R; and 8770 I. While I’m optimistic about her chances, I’m a […]

Rethugs Try To Disenfranchise Voters. In Missouri. BTW, does the name ‘Ashcroft’ sound familiar? In New Hampshire. BTW, does the name ‘Sununu’ sound familiar? And, of course, nationwide. In the past week alone, we’ve also highlighted similar attempts in Florida, Georgia and Ohio. While Trump creates distractions, the single most underreported story is the ongoing […]

Smart Money Sez: Trumponomics A Flop. Granted, the smart money isn’t always that smart. Still… Trump Wants To Buy–Greenland? As near as I can tell, this report does not originate from The Onion. 3 electoral votes. Almost all-white. He’s insa-a-a-ane. Federal Judge Tries To Stop Georgia’s Efforts To Steal Elections. They can still steal ’em […]
Wow. Signs Of Life From Sussex County D’s!
I just got this in my in-box, and I’m psyched. No, things aren’t going to turn around overnight. But the toxic nature of the Rethuglican brand nationwide means that we shouldn’t leave Sussex County to the R’s and what passes for leadership in the moribund D ranks. Read and, if you’re from Sussex, get involved: […]

He Really IS Moscow Mitch. This Oleg Deripaska guy sure gets around. Especially for someone who can’t enter the US. McConnell is completely compromised. Rethugs Purging Ohio’s Voter Rolls.

The Links Between Police Departments And White Supremacy. Though not a new article, this demonstrates something that a lot of us have known intuitively. Which also explains why cops don’t lift a fucking finger to ban assault weapons. Which reminds me. This report on systemic racism in police agencies is a must-read. Which also reminds […]

Trump Goes After Endangered Species. Let’s see…yesterday it was Animal Cyanide Bombs. Today it’s driving a pipeline through the habitats of endangered species. I think he has figured out that he’s an endangered species, and he’s taking everybody with him. A Cure For Ebola? I know that it ain’t over ’til it’s over, but this […]

Why Is DNC Chair Stifling Debate On Climate Change? Pretty much every D wants a debate but the chair. Gaffe-Machine Joe Keeps On ‘Gaffe-in’. Seriously, he doesn’t have it. He can’t be the nominee.
