Is it “clap louder” season already?
I can’t wait for Chris Coons to tell me to clap louder for our gloriously middle-of-the-road Democratic candidates and the inevitable victory of glorious bipartisanship. As usual Eschaton said it best: Hey It’s An Election Year Again, already!One school of thought is that people not on the payroll need to clap louder, the other is […]

Urge President Biden to Declaring a Climate Emergency
Cheers to the “Occupy Biden” Peeps. Biden is a corporate lackey, so there is no way he is going to declare a climate emergency. Nevertheless, you guys are doing import work. The movement’s primary goal is to urge President Biden to issue an executive order declaring a climate emergency and mandating that all federal government […]

DL Open Thread Monday December 27 2021
I am still in vacation mode having enjoyed the first Christmas in four years without Trump as President. I should have turned over the open thread to El Som, but didn’t.
So I scanned the headline and it was the usual collection of Covid variant stories. (Not much news worthy there. Omincron is bad, but only really bad if you are still an anti-vax/pro-disease partisan.)
Desmond Tutu died. He seemed like a good man who helped his country out a lot when it needed a lot of help.
And yesterday was the one year anniversary the Trump tweet-storm that kicked off his plans to mount a coup on Jan 6th of 2020. Read all the smoking gun tweets and marvel at the fact that Trump is still walking around a free man.
Merry Christmas!
In the spirit of the season, anyone blacklisted has been released from DL jail. Even Ben DuPont who probably accounts for half of the uninvited people. Enjoy your privilege while is lasts – you’ll probably be gone again shortly.

Biden’s Praise of Trump was a MAGAT MindFuck Intended to Push Them Away From Vaccinations
That is not true, or course, but I thought that headline should reside somewhere on the inter-webs.
(CNN)President Joe Biden on Tuesday gave credit to the Trump administration for the development of the Covid-19 vaccine and praised his predecessor, Donald Trump, for getting a booster shot — marking a rare moment where the two men have found common ground since Inauguration Day.
“I got my booster shot as soon as they were available,” Biden said during a speech from the White House about his administration’s efforts to address the Omicron variant of Covid-19, adding, “and just the other day former President Trump announced he had gotten his booster shot.”

“It may be one of the few things he and I agree on,” Biden continued. “People with booster shots are highly protected. Join them. Join us.”

Trump, Still Not in Jail, To Hold Press Conference on Jan 6th
Former President Donald Trump Tuesday vowed to hold a news conference on the first anniversary of the storming of the Capitol as he steps up his campaign to whitewash the Jan. 6 attack.
A day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a “solemn observance” of the violent attack, Trump on Tuesday said he would offer his own spectacle claiming the historic insurrection attempt was nothing more than a peaceful protest. “The election was the insurrection,” Trump told Newsmax, “The January 6 day was not the insurrection, that was the ‘protest.’”

Kelloggs Drops “Kelloggs” from Pop-Tart Boxes
Twitter: @Nevada_Man On Friday, Kellogg’s confirmed online rumors that it has removed its name from Pop-Tarts boxes. The move comes amidst a months-long strike involving about 1400 workers across four cereal plants, but Kellogg’s says the design decision is about “simplified” design, not a last-ditch effort to get around consumer boycotts (hmm).

If some good comes from the death of Biden’s domestic agenda, perhaps it will also be the final death of Chris Coons pretending that a “Secret Bipartisan Caucus” is hiding in the wings, ready to swoop in and save the Republic. Coons obviously can’t even get Republicans who claim to be Democrats to fall under the spell of Holy Bipartisanship anymore.

Biden Signed Up To Stand in Front of Trump’s Shit-Fan Apparatus
I thought Biden would try to point the shit-fan away from his face a little. Or at least provide some people with shit ponchos like Gallagher or something. Note to Youngsters: Gallegher was a comedian who comically sprayed his audience with smashed watermelons.
