When You’ve Lost The Cato Institute…: We’re talking yet another Koch Bros enterprise dedicated to their version of ‘libertarianism’, aka unfettered freedom for oligarchs: Up until now, I’ve been hesitant to predict how the various prosecutions of Donald Trump are likely to turn out. But no longer. I believe yesterday’s indictment in Georgia sealed Trump’s fate, […]

DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #8–RD 3
First things first. Sherry Dorsey Walker, who is running for Lt. Governor and is vacating this seat, doesn’t suck. Although she didn’t get much signed into law, she is the sponsor of HS1/HB 191, which passed the House during the Rethug boycott, and could well pass the Senate early in 2024.

The Fuck-Up That Is Hunter Biden Isn’t Going Away. Yeahyeah, I know all about false equivalency, which only matters to people who haven’t allowed their brains to rot. Still, there’s no doubt that Hunter grifted off his old man’s name, even if he was never able to deliver promised favors from the old man: They […]

Trump. Projection Much?: 1: “What Crooked Joe Biden, who can’t string two sentences together, has done to our once great Country […] OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY A MAN WITH THE MIND, IDEAS, AND I.Q.
