Trump’s RWNJ’s Come To Portland. Make no mistake: The white nationalists are taking their cues directly from Trump. He creates the crisis, then blames it on ‘Democrat mayors’. Will Biden be able to place the blame where it belongs? If history is a guide, I doubt it. Racism Of Marines In Clear Relief. They won’t […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes For August 2020
A great month for new music. One of the greatest months I can recall. I hardly know where to begin. Which is why I always do these lists in alphabetical order, and not that phony internet alpha order based on the first name. Real alphabetical order, the way G-d intended it: Songs as short stories […]

Michael Moore Warns: Trump Is Poised To Do It Again. He says, and I agree, don’t count on the Democratic infrastructure to drag Biden across the finish line. We’ll need to do it ourselves.

Trump Supporter Shot Kenosha Protestors. Oh, and you’ve got armed militia wandering around. They’re always more dangerous than peaceful protestors. Major sports events canceled as athletes protest. Will protests turn suburbanites against the Democrats? Hurricane Laura. The good news is it appears that the massive storm surge didn’t happen. That, and that it hit in […]

Wilmington’s Mayoral Town Hall. Give it a listen if you’re interested in the City’s immediate future. Rethugs Throw Hatch Act Out With The Trash. The normalization of autocracy is here. Trump loves this lawlessness, and he successfully exploits it. He will use every tool. Don’t mean to scare anybody, but 538 gives Trump a 3 […]

DL’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2020–Part 5: The Statewides
Insurance Commissioner (D Primary): Trinidad Navarro vs. Kayode Abegunde. There are circumstances under which I could be persuaded to consider someone other than Navarro for this office.

No Platform. Just Criminals-In-Waiting. They will try to steal the election. They now have no other alternative as they’re all-in on Trump as the Savior of America. DeJoy: ‘No Machines For You’. Watch what he does, not what he says. He is a key part of the plot to steal the election for Trump. Falwell […]

Kellyanne And George Conway Depart The Political Scene. Apparently their kids, most of them anyway, need them. One of the kids has been on Twitter criticizing both of her parents.

Trump, Mnuchin, DeJoy Conspired To Weaken Post Office. How they did it, particularly DeJoy, the ‘bull in a china shop’. House passes postal service relief package. 26 R’s vote yes, the consistently strange Tulsi Gabbard goes ‘not voting’. Trump’s Sister: Trump Has ‘No Principles And ‘You Can’t Trust Him’.
