Offering NOTHING of value to voters and therefor bracing for big loses in the midterms, the corporate Dems are on the run. This is the upside of Sober-Centrist-Moderate Dems Shitting Midterm Bed:

The Squad is poised for big gains in November despite the Democrats’ likely loss of the House.

The fascist lost in France. That’s good. The Center Right corporate fonctionnaire won, so the left is still out in the wilderness. That’s not so good.  

Don’t click the link.  I just grabbed it to show what has become of CNN.  

The most dangerous railroad crossing in the country is in Phoenix. It lies just a few miles northwest of downtown.  From 2006 to 2015, the crossing had the highest number of reported incidents with 24, resulting in two injuries and no deaths.

I couldn’t find any more recent data, but the level crossing near the Deer Park seems to be in the news at least once a year.

NEWARK, Delaware (WPVI) — Two people were injured when a CSX freight train collided with a car.

The crash happened at around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday in Newark, Delaware where the tracks intersect with Main Street.

Song of the Day 4/22: AC/DC, “Dog Eat Dog”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on April 22, 2022 • 0 Comments

Kevin McCarthy has never been among the sharper tools in the GOP congressional shed — he once voiced his belief, in front of witnesses, that Trump was on the Kremlin payroll — but he really should have seen that Rachel Maddow coming with that right cross. Maybe somebody should warn him that when push comes […]

Burn the entire corrupt edifice down

Filed in National by on April 20, 2022 • 0 Comments

According to Senator Chris Coons, the bad liberals and progressives (who hold all the power in the Democratic Party) put us in this dire situation by not clapping hard enough for glorious centrism.

Trumpism Resplendant

There’s something much worse than losing the House, and possibly the Senate, that’s rattling top Democrats who are studying polling and election trends:The big picture: It’s the possibility of a re-elected President Trump with a compliant, filibuster-proof Senate majority in January 2025.

The bottom line: David Shor, one of Democrats’ most respected data scientists, has been sounding the alarm for months. “Unless we see big structural changes in the Democratic party’s coalition,” he tweeted, the 2024 outcome could be “Donald Trump winning a *filibuster-proof trifecta* [House, Senate, White House] with a minority of the vote.”

 

“Structural changes” in this context typically means even more vigorous obsequiousness and further watering down popular Democratic policies until they are 99.99999999999% water.

If that fails (and it always fails) Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family should have a jet fueled and ready on the tarmac.

I guess I’m a little age-ist. The Geriatric Party Biden is 79, but he is still younger than the entire House Democratic leadership. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer are both 82, while Majority Whip Jim Clyburn is 81. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is a comparative spring chicken at […]

Whackjob Trump appointed judge unilaterally sets new public health policy.  Remember when Coons worked feverishly to push through a mess of whack-job Trump judges by voting them out of committee, then covered his ass by voting “nay” in the full Senate?  Good times. A former caseworker and campaign aide for Rep. Madison “fun drives” Cawthorn […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, your modern GOP…Crabs in a bucket. Trump holds bum fights in his Palm Beach palace to decide who he is going to endorse.

Also.. Coons did suggest more direct US involvement in Ukraine might be something to consider.

And… Guns, guns, guns.

Song of the Day 4/15: The Robert Cray Band, “1040 Blues”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on April 15, 2022 • 1 Comment

Here’s a song you’ll never hear the likes of Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk singing. They don’t hate taxes — because they don’t have to pay any! This was the first single off Cray’s 1993 LP, “Shame + a Sin.” It didn’t chart, even in the UK, where Cray’s albums consistently score higher than they […]

Doddering oldsters like Carper will never retire When a California Democrat in Congress recently engaged in an extended conversation with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, they prepared for a rigorous policy discussion like those they’d had with her many times over the last 15 years. Instead, the lawmaker said, they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein multiple […]

Why not listen to, and support the Highlands Bunker? It is better than grease trap grease.

I’m catching up on some Highlands Bunker this weekend. I’m about halfway through Kathy v Kathy, but I’ll come back to apply my trademarked 1-5 buckets rating when I’m done.   (1 = a bucket of grease trap grease from Long John Silvers, 5 = Five buckets of this summer’s finest garden fresh tomatoes.)

Listen Up everyone. Seriously. Settle down.

As you know, the most important thing in this office is CONFIDENTIALITY. Also, LOYALTY. They are both number one.  They are co-equal for me doing my best auditing. Right?  because when I win, we all win, right?   Only metaphorically speaking, because…you know…you get to continue working here, and that is winning.  

Anyway…Also, PUBLIC RELATIONS! It is very very important.  Also number 1 in importance. Edith, please stop looking at me like that.  We can too have three number ones. Just like the Romans.  Jeez…learn some history.  

Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted by Miss Bitchface, I was going to say that during these trying times we must project a calm image of normalcy.  So when I say PUBLIC, You say RELAY-SHUNS.  Let me hear you.  PUBLIC! …..

*crickets chirp in the distance*

Well, we don’t really have time for that, but we’re all on the same page, right?  Ok. Good.

Now I’m taking my daughter..uh, I mean my assistant to lunch. Where did I put that office credit card?

..and scene.
