Judge Aileen Cannon’s “out-of-district” question was so legally bonkers, a former prosecutor went digging to find out where it came from. Spoiler: It was on Fox News the previous day
Fox News rules their world.

Song of the Day 8/8: Run-DMC, “You Talk Too Much”
Who is this song from Run-DMC’s second album about? They never specify, but the seminal hip-hop trio hails from Queens, and they address the target of their scorn as “homie” … say, you don’t think… Donald Trump had established himself as a public nuisance by the time “King of Rock” was released in 1985.

Connecticut has the most expensive weed in the country. Delaware: Hold my beer. _______________ There is a madness to the method.

Iowa Evangelical Leader Rips Trump, Says Supporters Now ‘Looking For Another Candidate’ Bob Vander Plaats says Trump’s “facts aren’t lining up with the repetitive rhetoric.” Just wait until they figure out that Vivek Ramaswamy is a Hindu.
NO! No to this.
This is fun poking MAGA idiots, but on balance, no. Just no. Jack Smith is not going to save democracy. Only organizing, only getting everyone you know to vote against Republicans at every level of government during every election is going to save democracy. Don’t put your faith in men. Put your faith, and your […]

When I say Hunter Biden should do the right thing and go to jail, I think about Jared and Ivanka. It isnt’s “bothsiderism” it is just me reminding myself that the media’s rules for Democrats are not the same as the media’s rules for Republicans.

Song of the Day 8/3: Elton John, “Slave”
Warning: It is illegal to play this song for students in Florida. This seems like an odd topic for a British pop singer to tackle, but it fit with lyricist Bernie Taupin’s early fascination with 19th-century Americana. It was included on “Honky Chateau,” the 1972 LP that sealed John’s stardom. You might notice that there […]
