Won’t anyone think of the children!?!
I feel like everything I link to nowadays can run under the Headline: We Are so Fucked WE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR YOUUUUUUU Brian’s writing about the general age issue here, but there is a persistent broader disconnect between the desperate rhetoric of, for example, fundraising emails, and the (lack of) urgency with which […]

More evidence that once the fetus is out he’s on his own: Texas’ razor-wired Rio Grande has claimed three more victims, one of them a 3-year-old. The Rude Pundit nails it, as usual: Republicans don’t stand up to Trump because, tough guys that they are, they’re a-skeered of his violent followers. Still won’t lock them […]

If you ever decide to hide ill-gotten gains, be smarter than “Gold Bar Bob” Menendez. When stashing cash in the pockets of your jackets, don’t choose one with your name embroidered on it. Also, when googling the price of gold, use “per ounce” in the search field rather than “per kilo.” For his part, Menendez […]

Republicans are in disarray amid another poo-flinging fight between Team Dumb and Team Dumber. A government shutdown looks all but inevitable. I’m sure it will go as well as it usually does for the party whose mascot is Dumbo. On the other hand, people keep voting for them, proving that the real dumbos number about […]
Pssst…..they were always worthless.
Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles may now be worthless. Are NFTs dead? A recent study looking at the price of thousands of collections seems to suggest the answer is “yes.” A report by dappGambl based on data provided by NFT Scan and CoinMarketCap showed that out of […]

Democrats who base their political decisions on what they think independents and Republicans might do still want to dump Joe Biden, so it probably won’t change their minds that Biden continues to enact more progressive policies than anyone predicted. His latest move: creation of an American Climate Corps by executive order, after Republicans in Congress […]
Isn’t now about when Democrats save Republicans from their own “government shutdown” stupidity?
Not this time – Speaker Kevin McCarthy is struggling to pass a bill to fund the government — and the White House isn’t about to throw him a lifeline. With just days to go before the government runs out of money, Biden’s team is watching Congress steam toward a shutdown, resigned to the reality that […]

Its not like they didn’t run on being the party of nonstop national crisis. An out-of-control GOP is the party of nonstop national crisis Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but congressional Republicans are once again careening toward internal crisis and a damaging government shutdown. You may remember this song-and-dance from the last four or […]
Assassinations & Norms
Stories like this one remind me that Trump & GWB exploded so many norms that the rest of the world is just saying “Fuck it!” and doing any shit they feel like doing. Seems Like A Big Deal That they think it’s true and that they went very public in this way (and that it […]
The well established legal precedent of “LOL, Fuck You!”
America has always had wealthy people, but I don’t think we’ve ever had a generation of wealthy people absolutly determined to tear down the very American democracy that created all the wealth. Alabama is ignoring a Supreme Court order to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in part because the money behind […]
