Gerald Brady Resigns!

...is a headline I thought I'd be writing this morning.  Oh well. Soon. In the meantime, click through to read about Trump's incoherent, ill-informed ramblings, and how all asshole pubic figures should be accosted loudly and frequently. Especially public figures named Tucker Carlson.

No? Really? Hmmm.. That's strange. On a related note - what do Democratic "leaders" mean when they say "We will not tolerate this." Because it seems to mean "We will tolerate this."

I hope you haven't stowed your face coverings too deep in the closet, because the smart money says we're building toward a third-wave pandemic peak, probably in September. You can…

No? That's strange.

As I've said, Duncan Black (Atrios) is the nation's leading Coonsologist.

The Real Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan Was Just The Friends We Made Along The Way

Lot's of news that I will skim over like a flat stone on a still lake. For instance, Dr. Anthony Fauci called Senator Rand Paul a liar and a fraud on the record. (Link) Another Trump official was arrested on foreign-agent charges, Rupert Murdoch decided that too many dead viewers isn't good for ratings, and and Tom Brady mocked Trump while laughing it up with Joe All of that before lunch. But first...BIPARTISANSHIP'S last stand. Chris Coons stated, "This time we are sure Lucy will not pull the football away."

Good morning! Insurrectionist Gets a White Person's Sentence (8 measly months for trying to overthrow the government). Remember Crystal Mason? She was the person of color sentenced to five years in prison for a mistaken vote that was not counted. If you don't think America is racist as fuck, you've got your head up your ass. (Related - Senator Coons suggests, "Maybe some bipartisanship can fix American racism?") According to a former Republican National Committee senior official, twice-impeached president Donald Trump will run again in 2024. I think we all know what this means – Chris Coons will call for (wail for? moan for? plead for?) more bipartisanship. It is a proven fact, bi-partisanship, and only bi-partisanship can fix it. #Vanlife was a covid-era style of genteel homelessness dressed up to look like freewheeling adventure. Turns out life in a 30-40sq foot metal box (even one on wheels) isn't as glamorous as it has been made to look and vanlifers are parting ways with their vans with de-covidivication. Reached for comment, Senator Chris Coons stated emphatically that #vanlife is is a pressing issue that can be resolved only through bi-partisanship. Yesterday: Coons: Bipartisanship will prevail on Infrastructure Deal GOP: Bipartisan infrastructure deal has no chance BUT FIRST….Ernesto Lopez and his now open-ass seat are still all the buzz. You can read all about it here at BlueDelaware :So Long Ernie Lope, or read the original by Delaware’s foremost leg hall watcher, El Som, here: Ernie Lopez Merely Bowed to the inevitable Hmmm…Original or inferior copy? Not a tough choice from my perspective, while Senator Chris Coons recommends a bipartisan approach to deciding.

His district was, and is, going Blue in '22. To steal a line from Baseball Prospectus, my fantasy baseball Bible: "Warning: Gory mathematical details ahead!" Even if Senate District 6…

I wasn't paying much attention to news this weekend. Anything interesting happen? Let's see... As my sage colleague observed, the Earth continues to try and rid itself of the human infestation. President Joe Manchin said maybe we can have infrastructure, but President Lindsey Graham said, not so fast. Of the Republicans vying to take on the weak, ineffective Joe Biden.  Pence isn't looking so good. 477 days Until Mid-terms November 8, 2022 

We laugh and shake our heads at conservatives who believe American cities are being burned down by Antifa and BLM protesters, but we're guilty of the same thing when it…
