Song of the Day 6/4: Roy Rogers, “Don’t Fence Me In”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on June 4, 2020 1 Comment

Our Big Quivering President is furthering his image as an incompetent banana Republican dictator by installing more fencing around the House Painted White Because It’s Been Torched Before. The optics are terrible for him — the open plains such a foundational part of the American myth that even Cole Porter himself could write a classic […]

Joe Biden’s Philadelphia Speech – Full Transcript

I am persuaded that Democrats picked the right person to defeat Donald Trump.

…We can’t be naive about it. I wish I could say that hate began with Donald Trump and will end with him. It didn’t, and it won’t. American history isn’t a fairy tale with a guaranteed happy ending. The battle for the soul of this nation has been a constant push and pull for more than 240 years, a tug of war between the American ideal that we’re all created equal, and the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart.

Leaked Stonewall Endorsement Questionnaire Puts Pressure on Republicans to Come Clean

Leaked Stonewall Endorsement Questionnaire Puts Pressure on Republicans to Come Clean

This in via the tip line:

7. While Delaware Stonewall PAC is non-partisan and is willing to endorse and fund
candidates of any party, or no party at all, we are very cognizant of the fact that the
presidency of Donald Trump has rolled back many of the rights of our community and, if re-
elected, he will likely continue to do so and appoint federal judges who may very well
overturn precedent that have recognized the rights of our community. How you vote is a
private matter, however, will you pledge to not support the re-election of President Trump and not support candidates for office whose platforms are opposed to LGBTQ rights?(emphasis added)

It is a little squishy for me, but it is something. If this goes unanswered by the lying GOP scumbags like Mike Ramone and Anthony Delcollo, then I would think it would be impossible for Stonewall the repeat the endorsement mistakes they made in 2016.

Highlands Bunker Hosts Crap Journalist – Very Disappointing/Frustrating Episode

The entire podcast is taken up with Meredith Newman explaining how journalists can’t allow for anything except he said/she said reporting. …otherwise…(?) It is gross. I need a shower.

The sham objectivity of our journalist who give equal time to the truth and to flat out lies IS A BIG PART OF WHAT HAS GOTTEN US HERE.

If you can’t listen to the whole thing just know, 2+2=5 (because some say it equals 4, and some say 6, so it must be 5)

“We can’t ignore that we are in a country with an open wound right now, A wound far older and deeper than George Floyd’s—George Floyd’s killing—and his brutal, brutal death captured on film. His final words, pleading for breathe. ‘Let me breathe, I can’t breathe.’ It’s ripped open anew this—this ugly underbelly of our society.” […]

As Chief Prosecutor, Klobuchar Declined to Bring Charges Against Cop that Killed George Floyd

All my disgust for Klobs is multiplied by 1,000.

While serving as Minnesota’s chief prosecutor between 1999 and 2007, Klobuchar declined to bring charges against more than two dozen officers who had killed citizens while on duty – including against the cop that killed George Floyd.

Can Someone Please Explain This to Me?

Filed in National by on May 28, 2020 1 Comment

We’ve got a bunch of Murkins out there threatening civil government with armed resistance — because they DON’T want to wear masks. Historically speaking, isn’t insurrection a reason to cover one’s face to hide one’s identity? These people also tend to be paranoid about facial-recognition technology. Wouldn’t wearing a mask be a simple way to […]
