Biden will be repaid with mountains of scorn
Great plan Joe. It has 0.0% chance of working, but whatevs. #Bygones.
Coons Super-Bipartisanship Strikes Out Again
The GSA reports directly to congress and works for the people of the United States of America. Congress has enormous influence in every federal agency including the GSA.
And yet – in spite of his best efforts to leverage his super-bipartisan powers & friendships – Coons can’t get A SINGLE FUCKING REPUBLICAN to join him in putting pressure on the General Services Administration Administrator Emily Murphy to sign off on the transition.
Fucking useless, Coons. USELESS!
Song of the Day 11/16: The Association, “Along Comes Mary”
Voters in New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana legalized recreational marijuana two weeks ago, bringing the total to 15 states with legal weed. It’s a far cry from 1966, when this single from the Association was controversial for its coded endorsement of pot. Tambyn Almer, who wrote the tune, admitted as much in later […]
Likud Lobbying Hard for Coons to Be Sec of State
Coons is said to be the figure most visibly lobbying for the job, according to Politico. Last May, an article appeared in Jewish Insider claiming that Coons had “the inside track” for the job. It quoted a long list of Jewish leaders and politicians singing Coons’ praises, saying he would be “wonderful” for Israel, “understands […]

I’d like to speak to anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. I know it is rare, but I’d be curious to know what tipped the scales in favor of Biden. Hit me up in the comments, at jason330@delawareliberal.net or by clicking on that “Tips” button.
Song of the Day 11/15: Rickie Lee Jones, “Show Biz Kids”
Good covers of Steely Dan songs are hard to come by, and this is generally acknowledged as one of the best. Rickie Lee Jones gave Fagen and Becker’s nasty riff and snide lyrics a decidedly beatnik vibe on her Grammy-winning 2000 LP of covers, “It’s Like This.” The original has inspired years of debate about […]
Song of the Day 11/14: Scandal, “Goodbye to You”
To everything there is a season, and with you-know-who in mind, this is the season for kiss-off songs. This New Wave classic by Patty Smyth and Scandal was the standout track on the band’s introductory EP in 1982. The song, written by guitarist and band leader Zack Smith, reached only No. 65 on the Hot […]
Song of the Day 11/13: Steve Miller Band, “Take the Money and Run”
Trump’s stubborn fandom will forever perplex me, but I think it’s related to the way Americans lionized bank robbers during the Depression, or outlaws like Jesse James in the post-Civil War days. Trump fits right in — he’s still taking the rubes’ money, and one way or another he’s gonna run, either for office or […]
Sorry about the comments approval shit
Fact is this is a leaky old boat. We might have to leave it up for the archives and more onto a newer model for posting and commenting.
REV talks with Atnre Alleyne
“Mike Matthews situation” is listed in the show notes, so I’ll have to listen to see if Atnre cops to the media take-down he pulled off.
Also, for the record, I have first hand knowledge of the fact that Teensharp is doing some good work.
“Dems in Crisis” Narratives Running Rampant, Natch
Phillies great Mike Schmidt described playing in Philadelphia as experiencing “the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day.”
As a proud Democrat, I can relate to that sentiment. Republicans are always in attack mode and the media is always eager to internalize every GOP attack and enshrine every conservative talking point as unassailable conventional wisdom.
In turn, Dem “moderates” “strategists” and “consultants” are always eager to rush to show how much they agree with the GOP talking points.
So is this morning’s biggest threat to the Republic Trump and his half-assed coup? Is it the worsening pandemic? No. Of course not.
It is AOC. It is the term “Defund the Police”
How horrible are Tom Carper and Chris Coons?
This horrible. They joined Republicans to vote in favor of seating Trump appointed judges during this lame duck session. The Senate meets at 11 a.m. to resume consideration of the nomination of Aileen Mercedes Cannon to be U.S. district judge for the Southern District of Florida. At noon, the Senate will vote on a motion […]
Song of the Day 11/12: Ray Charles, “Hit the Road Jack”
Somebody should blast this at the White House 24/7 until he concedes. Ray Charles took this blunt kiss-off to No. 1 in 1961. Margie Hendrix of the Raelettes plays his foil, something she could do easily because they were in a stormy relationship at the time, but the song isn’t about them. It was written […]
