DL Open Thread: Monday, May 4, 2020

Down on its luck DEGOP drafts this guy to run for Governor. He says he is running as an independent, but his base and his platform is pure red white and blue GOP. The most important interview I received all day yesterday. I was once approached by a woman in red and asked “how many […]

All good

The economy is back. (Stocks are the economy, right?) That was all just an odd little blip. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along now.

Any day now…

Any day now…

I wonder when the important working friendships with Republicans that Coons has so carefully cultivated are going to pay off? Maybe they’ll kick in if some kind of national emergency arises? Not that I’m hoping for some national emergency.

It isn’t that I don’t like Biden…

It isn’t that I don’t like Biden…

…it’s that I see him running a mincing, timid and ultimately fucked-up repeat of 2016 campaign. The idea that this is going to be a close election makes me insane with anger.

For example, if he picks Kobs* for a running mate (or some similarly terrible person) I will seriously lose. Like “somebody hide all the knives” lose it.

Founders Sing entered the YouTube musical political satire genre, currently dominated by Randy Rainbow, in mid-February with a video called “The Day Democracy Died,” set to the tune of “American Pie.” Whoever’s behind it has released a video every couple of weeks since.

Biden’s Campaign is so weak they are terrified of Justin Amash peeling off 1% in Michigan

Biden’s Campaign is so weak they are terrified of Justin Amash peeling off 1% in Michigan

This happens when your only argument is that you are slightly less bad than the Republicans.

Team Biden has no visible affirmative campaign, so it is in panic mode over the announcement of third party candidate that will impact the terrible “50%+1” electoral college strategy.

Breaking: Nobody Cares About Baseball

Can you name a baseball player who is nationally famous? I can’t. There are plans to bring back baseball by realigning the leagues to make them more regional, thereby cutting down on travel. Just typing that sentence made me fall asleep. Baseball is boring. Nobody likes it.

Lieutenant General Darryl A. Williams is no leader

Filed in National by on April 27, 2020 4 Comments

Darryl A. Williams is the 60th superintendent of West Point. When Trump’s vanity caused him to announce that he was delivering a graduation address to the cadets, causing the academy to scramble together a ceremony that is going to put a lot of people in harms way, Williams should have said, “No.” I know Trump […]

Trump’s bad weekend

First Putin tells him to stop making an ass out of himself on the daily, then his man-crush (apparently) croaks. Media outlets in Japan and Taiwan are reporting that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has died. This has not been confirmed by the North Korean government or by sources in South Korea. Earlier in […]

Trump got medical advice from the leader of a crackpot Clorox cult

Rather than listen to experts, Trump typically just repeats nonsense he hears on Fox News. When floating the idea that people with CV19 can be treated with disinfectants, Trump expanded his circle of trusted sources to include the leader of a crackpot Clorox cult.   As The Guardian reports, Trump had actually received a message earlier […]
