Dog Bites Man: Biden Wants To Be President. Or at least wants to be talked about as wanting to be President. Especially with that lucrative book deal… Bibi’s Legal Problems Mount As Former Chief Of Staff Flips. Like Trump, (a) he throws red meat (uh, pork is not a red meat) to his right-wing base […]

Mueller Seeks White House Records On Flynn. Fascinating look into his business dealings. Trump shoulda listened to Obama: Flynn was and is bad news for King Cheeto. Putin Embracing Crypto-Currencies As Money Laundering Tool? Looks like it. BTW, these sanctions are working when it comes to money laundering. How WV Guv’s Party Switch Could Impact […]

R Senate Ties Trump’s Hands Before Leaving Town. I found it deliciously ironic that it was Lisa Murkowski who set up the procedural roadblock. Bottom line: No recess appointments. Michael Lewis: Our Biggest Nuclear Danger Is From Within. Department of Energy Secretary has no idea what the DOE does or is supposed to do. Be […]
Mo’ Better Dems: Andria Bennett, RD 32
You knew this one was coming. Failure to field a progressive challenger in this district would be political malpractice. The District. Perhaps no RD was made safer for D’s during the 2012 redistricting than the 32nd . It went from a swing-D district to a totally safe district. The registration numbers are as follows: 6914 […]

McMaster Fires Leaker. The guy who ‘leaked’ to Devin Nunes. He tried to fire him before, but Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon intervened. In other words, Ezra Cohen-Watnick was Trump’s kind of leaker. Trump’s Afghanistan Policy In Shambles. Wants to fire commander b/c ‘We’re not winning’. Oh, and he’s PO’d b/c that the Chinese negotiated […]

Trump ‘Justice’ Department To Push Affirmative Action For White People. Typical Rethuggery. Dubya did it. To be run out of Justice’s political shop, not the career employees. Betch’a Sen. Flake approves. Judges To Rethugs: Redraw North Carolina Districts Now! What’s at stake? Rethug veto-proof majorities. Tillerson Turns Down $80 Mill To Counter ISIS and Russian Propaganda. […]

Trump Came Up With Jr’s Phony Russian Meeting Meme. More orphan than not. Dictated the memo about how Junior should lie while on Air Force One. Sounds like Obstruction of Justice to me. Must-read of the day. Administration still leaking like a sieve. BTW, Trump’s lawyer had specifically asserted that the President was not involved in […]
BREAKING: Mooch Out! Yes, Already
Maybe the new Chief-In-Staff insisted on this move before he would accept the position. Where did I hear the story? On ESPN’s trade deadline special. They called it the biggest deal of the day. Technically, Mooch was never in. Now he’ll never be in. Until maybe he is in. Someday: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/31/us/politics/anthony-scaramucci-white-house.html?mcubz=0
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July 2017
I had so much good stuff this month that I excised some just to keep the numbers manageable. Another great month: “I miss you, but don’t miss you like I miss Prince…”. I LOL’d : While we’re on the subject of famed rockers’ deaths: From Japanese Breakfast to…Japanese Math Rock? Whatever it is, I love […]

Carper Is Running. In case you’ve forgotten, here are some reasons why we need a progressive challenger: https://delawareliberal.net//2016/11/29/how-tom-carpers-votes-and-positions-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-to-screw-people-volume-1/ https://delawareliberal.net//2016/11/30/how-tom-carpers-votes-and-positions-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-to-screw-people-volume-2/ https://delawareliberal.net//2016/12/06/how-tom-carpers-positions-and-votes-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-screw-people-volume-3/ https://delawareliberal.net//2016/12/13/how-tom-carpers-positions-and-votes-screw-people-and-help-rethugs-screw-people-volume-4/ This defeatism that only Father Time can stop Carper is BS.

Student Scores Prove It: Our Education Policy Is Not Working. That includes de-facto resegregation. NCC Police Union Flexes Muscle. Anything that makes the police knucklebreakers unhappy, I’m for it. Yes, Our Voting Machines Are Totally Vulnerable. Took hackers mere minutes to dismantle security protections at DEFCON in Vegas. Anyone gonna do anything about it? Huey […]

Reince Lanced. Enter the General. Hard to restore order when the only guy who outranks you is insane. But Kelly is competent, which Reince was not. He’s also as obsessively anti-immigrant as King Cheeto. Hanifa Shabazz and Theo Gregory: Kindred Crooks? Someone needs to investigate this unholy relationship and the entire Wilmington City Council slush […]

Skinny Repeal Goes Down! McCain (finally) does the right thing. Didn’t see that coming. And, yes, Trump went nuts on teh Twitter. Russia Ratchets Up Diplomatic Pressure On Sanctions. This bromance is sure going well. Will Trump veto the sanctions bill? Steve Bannon’s Off-The-Books Press Office. I guess ‘volunteers’ aren’t just for Tony DeLuca any […]
