Two posts I’ve been holding off writing
1) There is going to be BIG shakeup in Delaware politics if Biden wins. You guys, we’re talking special elections OUT THE ASS. Naturally I’m not writing that post because I don’t want to jinx anything. But I do think Biden is going to win and he is going to poach some people from Delaware to work with him in DC… But who? And no…Not Coons. He will have lost the primary against Scarane. But who?
2) Trump won last time by suppressing the Dem vote. In addition to the criminal machinations, he made an unpopular Hilary Clinton DEEPLY unpopular. I’m not sure the same game plan works this year. I may never write this post. What’s the point? Everyone knows who Trump is. That’s the only real issue in this campaign. Do you support a draft-dodging, criminal with a meager intellect or not?
Harris is the 4th Most Liberal Member of the US Senate
Coons is 36th with an “F” rating.

Biden Picks Harris – Reaction Thread
Unless some double reverse trickery is afoot – It is probably Harris.
Social media buzz tells me the announcement it is happening tonight. React here is you need a safe space away from all the right-wing outrage and “objective” media concern trolling.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya Safely in Lithuania
Lukashenko opponent left Belarus under duress, say aides
Hours after refusing to concede without an election recount, former teacher Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has left Belarus and called for an end to anti-government protests. The U.S. and E.U. have condemned the police violence against protestors, saying the election was not “free and fair.”
Be ready for this in the US, my dear readers and comrades.
Our own rendezvous with destiny is creeping ever closer. When the time comes, we must be ready to defend freedom, decency and justice.
Here is my Biden VP Pick list in order of my level of excitement
As I have foretold, whoever Joe picks, they are going to be attacked mercilessly by the right wing media and by the right’s idiot ventriloquist dummies in the “objective” media.
Nevertheless, here is my list in order of my level of excitement.
1 – Susan Rice
1 – Kamala Harris
1- Stacey Abrams
1 – Elizabeth Warren (four way tie for first)
2 through 98 – Anyone not named Clinton
99 – Gretchen Whitmer
1,997,931 – Amy Klobs
Literally anybody but Klobs
Belarusians Turn Out for General Strike in Response to Another Corrupt Election
It could get awkward, (Dem “leadership” is so weak they’d rather given in to Trump than fight) but if Trump steals this election widespread protests and a nationwide general strike to cripple the economy are going to be in order.
(CNN)Belarus’ main opposition candidate, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, has rejected preliminary election results giving the country’s longtime President, Alexander Lukashenko, a landslide election victory with 80% of the vote.
“I believe my own eyes, the majority was for us,” Tikhanovskaya said in a news conference on Monday, according to multiple local media reports. “We do not recognize the election results. We have seen real protocols. We urge those who believe that their voice was stolen not to remain silent.”
Be prepared.
Song of the Day 8/9: Neil Young, “Devil’s Sidewalk”
You’ve heard about Neil Young’s lawsuit against the Trump campaign over its use of two of Young’s songs at campaign events. Naturally, one of the tunes was “Rockin’ in the Free World,” the “Free World” being the preferred fascist/Republican term for the global American Empire. The other was much less familiar — “Devil’s Sidewalk” from […]
The sickeningly inevitable media war on Biden’s VP pick.
Whoever he picks, the right wing media will go berserk, and the so-called objective media will “cover” that berzerk-itude by tsk-tsking Biden for making such a [insert adjective here: a) banal b) controversial] pick.
It is as nauseating as it is predictable. I only hope that Team Biden is not dumb enough to try and short-circuit the sickeningly inevitable media war by making a “safe” choice. There is no safe choice. Just pick the best person.
Coons Agrees W/ Fox News “Both Sides” to blame for Relief Impasse
Jesus Fucking Christ, Coons is the absolute worst.
In his recent appearance on Fox News Coons could not resist undermining the Dem’s negotiating position:
Bret Baier:[1:38] If you are sitting at home someplace, and this is running out or has run out, aren’t you saying ‘gosh, Washington on both sides really stinks’?
Coons: [2:38] Brett, you’re right many people will say ‘a pox on both your houses’.
Bye Bye Susan Collins, you will not be missed
Coons’ besty and partner in trying to keep the filibuster is likely headed for the ash heap of history. Senate @QuinnipiacPoll #MESen: Gideon (D) 47% (+4) Collins (R-inc) 43% #SCSen: Graham (R-inc) 44% Harrison (D) 44% #KYSen: McConnell (R-inc) 49% (+5) McGrath (D) 44%

Song of the Day 8/7: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “The Waiting”
Anything can happen, 2016, blah blah blah…what bullshit. At least 52% of the voting populace impatiently awaits the chance to vote against Trump. And the waiting is the hardest part. The song was the first single from Petty’s 1981 LP “Hard Promises.” It reached only No. 19 on the Hot 100, but hit No. 1 […]
