Coons “Infuriated” With Biden
Nota bene – this is Biden’s bill. Lowlife motherfuckers like Coons and his fellow moderates are trying to fuck up Joe Biden’s bill.
Coons expected Biden to start twisting House progressives’ arms during their White House meeting last week. But we’re told by sources in the progressive camp and another senior Democratic aide that the president has neither asked progressives to drop their demand that the reconciliation bill pass in tandem with BIF, nor pressed them to accept a stand-alone vote on BIF this week — at least not yet. This has infuriated Coons.
Via Eschaton & Politico which uses “moderates” in place of Coons but since Coons paragon of moderates, I went ahead and fixed it.
Republicans are working hard today to steal the next election
It is not controversial to say that Republicans are laying the groundwork for stealing the 2024 election. It isn’t “hand wringing” – it is a simple statement of fact. It is happening in the open. The jokey “election audit” in Arizona was part of it. The dumbassery scheduled for Milford tomorrow is part of it.
Throw enough sand into the gears of democracy, allow angry imbeciles to stew in some ginned up outrage for long enough, and they are more than half-way there.
Coons’ “LOOK AT ME!” Bipartisanship is Directly Damaging Joe Biden
By promoting a false media narrative about “moderates” vs “progressives” Coons is directly fucking over Biden. Josh Marshall lays it all out. For months we’ve had this intra-party debate presented as one between “progressives” and “moderates.” Often that gets personalized as AOC and Bernie versus Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema. This is demonstrably false.

Coons’ Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus coming out of hiding any minute now.
However, in reaching across the aisle and creating the bipartisan committee, Coons said it has been “thrilling” to see how important climate change has become to Congress members.
Thrilling!
Coons really is a fucking piece of shit. Providing cover to the GOP by flogging this bipartisan nonsense morning noon and night. While McConnell continues to state in plain English that Republicans will never provide a single vote for anything significant.

You can’t build a shit nation like the USA unless you have a lot of pieces of shit to assemble into the final product. One giant piece of shit is, of course, the Previous Guy, but he had help from many, many shit humans all along the way. One of those shit humans, Mark Zuckerberg, […]
Steve Smyk Still Walking Around, Showing His Creeper Face in Public
Some sexual harassment gets you a mug shot in the NJ and some never gets mentioned. This is from El Som, way back back in June. If you have a subscription, read away. We’ll start with some fair use: A lawsuit filed by a female former Delaware State Police trooper accuses police officials of […]
Song of the Day 9/23: The Ramones, “I Wanna Be Sedated”
By the time you’re reading this I will have gotten Joey Ramone’s wish, and I’ll be minus a gall bladder. Contrary to popular belief, the chorus isn’t about wanting pain relief. Joey wrote most of it in London on Christmas Day 1977 while the band was touring the UK. “we went over to England, and […]

This has been obvious for a while now, but media people are starting to say it: Vaccine resistance by top Republicans is part of a strategy to fuck things up on purpose so Biden can’t succeed. They literally would destroy the country’s prosperity rather than share it with the Blah people. Thom Hartmann makes a […]
Sorry. Joe Biden Sucks at Being President
Joe just doesn’t have that it takes to go toe to toe with the radical moderates like Senator Chris Coons and Senator Joe Manchin who are committed to making him a one termer. He might have been a good President 30 years ago, but in the era of extremely toxic centrism and moderation…not so much.
‘Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me, Guess I’ll Go Take Worm Medicine’
If, that is, a lawsuit filed by the alleged victim and (bum-)steered by, of course, yet another failed Republican candidate who just happens to practice law, is affirmed. Here’s the story from WDEL (an El Som tip of the sombrero to an intrepid tipster): A lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court seeks to force a […]
‘Freedumb’ Self-Selection Continues Unabated
If anything, perhaps the degree to which the MAGAts are placing their lives in danger has been understated. Here are the ten counties in the US that experienced the greatest percentage growth in COVID cases over the past seven days according to the NYTimes, and the percentage of voters who went with Trump in these […]
Are Democrats Political Masochist?
Why do Congressional Democrats always lose? At this point it is logical to conclude that they get off on it. The humiliation sessions are too regular, too ritualized to not be consensual. It is all too easy to picture Coons, figuratively, bent over and chained to a desk while McConnell applies the figurative lash to […]
