“High capacity magazines and military machine guns must be freely available for purchase by deranged psychos because it says so in the Constitution.”

Another day, another act of domestic terrorism. Chesapeake VA Walmart mass shooting: 7 dead, including the shooter Over 40,000 Americans die from being shot each year. One died from being shot in my neighborhood recently. It was a suicide. 3,000 died on 9/11 and a panicked nation was led by the nose into a […]
The New DE House Minority Leader Is Ramone
Mike Ramone selected last night to lead the super-minority amid significant drama. Lyndon Yearick is the new whip. The pair beat out Danny Short and Timothy Dukes who apparently spent all of their energy fighting off Ruth Briggs King. Rumor is Ramone pledged to fight like a Republican (?) and thereby signaled that he is […]

The Low Background Hum of American Anti-GOPism
For many Americans it is too taxing to get outraged anew each week, so a low background hum of outrage has settled on the country. And the Secret Blue Wave (or the Red Wave That Wasn’t) was in part due to the fact that voters – even the non-political weirdos – understand the fact that one party is in favor of weekly gun mayhem and mass shootings and one party basically isn’t.
Even people who have never touched a protest sign understand the fact that one party is in favor of burning the planet to a cinder and one party basically isn’t. And even people who don’t like using “they and them” understand the fact that one party is in favor of making non-whites, women, gays and transpeople second class citizens and one party basically isn’t.
That’s an attractive gun nut philosophy because it makes gun mayhem un-fixable by laying the blame for mass shootings where they think it belongs – at the feet of James Madison. I don’t happen to believe this Madisonian spin. Targeting the patrons of LGBTQ nightclubs, and children in schools for mass murder is not the work “lone wolf” nut jobs exploiting an anachronistic quirk in the bill of rights.
stochastic terrorism
the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted
I have no opinion on the appointment of a special counsel to specially counsel Trump’s myriad of crimes, other than to say that this take from a 2017 issue of the New Yorker somehow still rings true:
MAR-A-LAGO BATHROOM, Fla.—According to current and former and probably also future U.S. officials, President Trump is guilty of yet another Very Illegal Thing. It is similar to all the previous Very Illegal Things, but somehow Even Worse. No former President has committed anything like this, let alone within the first term of the Presidency.
This Illegal Action threatens our national security, as well as our relationships with our allies, and will most likely result in nuclear warfare. According to the Constitution, which Trump has “totally read, of course, obviously,” the Commander-in-Chief is not allowed to perform the act that Trump actually performed just now, in the fifteen minutes before his next round of golf. It has been five months since President Trump, who at one point wanted to impress Billy Bush on a bus, took office.

82 year old Nancy Pelosi is stepping down from leadership as is 83 year old Steny Hoyer. Everybody else in DC who was born prior to 1942 is also cordially invited to get the fuck off the stage.

Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, a bill providing Federal protection for interracial marriage.

The GOP’s Hostage Crisis
Republican primary voters have a choice to make. They either make trump the nominee and lose to Biden again, or they make someone else the nominee and lose to Biden again but by a huge margin. Somewhere between a third and half of Republican voters are hardcore Trump loyalists. In a hypothetical scenario in which […]
“Florida Man Makes Announcement”
The headline is great, but the NY Post’s terse coverage of Trump’s announcement is tremendous. This is how he should have been regarded from the beginning.

Lizard v Turtle
Human Skin Wearing Robot, Rick Scott will challenge McConnell for top Senate GOP leadership post
Speaking of McConnell someone zapped him with a truth ray or something.
“We underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of many of the people in our party, and leadership roles, is that they’re dogged in chaos, negativity, excessive attacks, And it frightened independent and moderate Republican voters.”
“…their impression”. LMAO. The GOP has spent the last 10 years yelling “We are the Party of Chaos and Negativity. IF YOU ARE NOT 100% FOR NEGATIVITY AND CHAOS, GET THE FUCK OUT!!!”
Since the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Artists rankings did well, here is a site that has ranks apples from Best to Worst. FWIW, Golden Delicious Apples should be even lower than #33.
Trump Announced
There was a stink of desperation around Trump’s announcement. In place of his old swagger he seemed to be working on doing a serviceable imitation of his old self. It was a very tired, sad performance that Fox News didn’t even bother to carry live.
Trying to stay out of the courtroom and a step ahead of DeSantis, Trump announced that he is running to be the Republican Party’s nominee for the office of President of the United States. Actually, no. He appears to be bypassing that contest.
UPDATED: Missile Hits Poland – Two Dead
It is now viewed as unlikely that the missile which hit Poland was launched from Russia. Two missiles or rockets are reported to have hit a farm in Poland, near the border with Ukraine. Two people are reported killed. Polish media showed an image of a deep impact and upturned farm vehicle at the site, […]
Reforest Delaware
Planting 1 million trees is great. Planting 5 million trees would be awesome. It is a little early for New Years resolutions but I think I’m going to set a goal planting 10 trees in 2023.

Who could have predicted Trump would skim $9.00 from every $10.00 contribution to Walker?
LMAO Walker’s campaign tells Republicans to stop ‘deceptive fundraising’ in Georgia runoff At least four committees, one of them associated with former President Donald Trump, have kept 90% of contributions solicited for Senate GOP candidate Herschel Walker. The campaign said it first noticed the problem Saturday when former President Donald Trump’s Save America sent out […]
