Song of the Day 6/29: Randy Rainbow, “Cover Your Freakin’ Face”
Randy Rainbow dropped this timely public-service message this morning. It’s a simple message, but too many simpletons are resisting it.
How many ways can you say “We’re totally fucked” ?
Our “economy” is so screwed. The World Economic Forum interviewed 347 risk analysts about the challenges the world could face in a post-COVID world. The experts weighed in on economic, societal, geopolitical, tech, and environmental risks (basically, a STEEP analysis). The four most likely threats are prolonged global recession at 68.6%, more bankruptcies/consolidation at 56.8%, […]
Trump Claims Ignorance on Putin’s “Cash for Kills” Program
Ignorance isn’t a defense, but I suppose it passes for a defense in the eyes of his idiot base.
Song of the Day, 6/27: Spinal Tap, “Hell Hole”
With the European Union’s decision to ban American tourists, it’s pretty clear we’re living in a hellhole, so maybe we should adopt this as our new national anthem. Most people know this song only from the snippet that plays in the film; this is the ’80s-era MTV video, complete with every cheesy cliche the period […]
How to Make Money During an Economic Catastrophe
Selling whenever Trump says that things are great, and buying just before they find another trillion dollars for Morgan Stanley would seem to be a very sound strategy. Also, there is always looting if you have the means. Which reminds me. Listen to this. And read this. E73 – Confessions of a Looter (w/Zach […]
2020 is the new 2016
I’ve been looking back on DL posts from 2016 to try and figure out how we missed the big story of the summer. The big story of the summer being Trump’s strength in the upper-midwest. It was right in front of our dumb faces, and we completely missed it. When I say “we” I mean […]
Dem Primary Voters Soundly Reject the Coonsian Party
The Coonsian Corporate Democratic Party took a beating in recent primaries. The nation looks toward Delaware to keep the progressive momentum rolling. Progressive leaders on and off Capitol Hill are emboldened after Tuesday’s high-stakes primaries, with the success of a slew of hand-picked candidates signaling the left is far from finished in the battle for […]
Song of the Day 6/25: Old Crow Medicine Show, “Quarantined”
Old Crow Medicine Show frontman Ketch Secor released this song a month ago, when armed lamebrains were clamoring for an end to self-isolation and asserting their right to a haircut. Now that the states whose governors succumbed to pressure and reopened too soon are seeing record numbers of infections, talk of more quarantines is back […]
On This Day in DelawareLiberal History – June 24th, 2016
On June 23rd 2016, The United Kingdom voted to screw itself with a pointed stick. On June 24th, 2016 I wrote this: People voted with their fears, not their heads. This Guardian lede sums it up perfectly. Exchange Trump for EU Exit, and you have a chilling look at our possible future. Our fearfully isolationist, […]
Which Coons do you think will show up?
Do you trust the Coons from back in November who promised to give Mitch McConnell veto power over any Democratic legislation by promising to vote to keep the filibuster intact?
Or do you trust the Coons of today who says he actually might not vote to give McConnell veto power after all?
Song of the Day 6/23: The Ramones, “Somebody Put Something in My Drink”
Hey, kids, ‘memba that story last week about the three New York cops who got “poisoned” at Shake Shack? Turns out it wasn’t just embellished, it was made up out of whole cloth. This story — from the New York Post, so you know it’s not fake news — details the real chain of events: […]
Our economy is so fucking screwed
The all-out push to reopen shit was (is) so fucking stupid. Bottom Line: We are fucked.
