Remember how criticism of corporate Democrats -- for example, a certain former presidential nominee -- was billed as "doing the Republicans' work for them" by her supporters? Just a reminder…

I read this at TPM re Pelosi, but it really fits for our lazy-ass, do-nothing Congressperson, Lisa Blunt Rochester. Top elected Democrats are simply too dismissive of this hunger and…

With everything going on I know that trying read yet another story about Trump being an idiot feels like overkill, but this isn't a story. It is just Trump's verbatim remarks at the "Social Media Summit" or whatever the fuck he called it. It is breathtaking, in a bad way. On Using Twitter to Fuck With What Comes in his TV

I said watch, I’m going to do this. And I said, “We recognize the Golan Heights as being part of Israel.” It was a big thing. I go, watch this: boom! I press it, and within two seconds: “We have breaking news.” John Roberts of Fox was over. He said, “We have breaking news. Please, break it up.” Doesn’t matter what they’re talking about, John does it. He breaks it up.

Just look at the voting record of this motherfucking racist-ass Trump enabler who said that Trump's SOTU address was "an inspiring vision of American exceptionalism."    If you are wondering why LBR has so much love for racist-ass Trump enablers remember that anyone with an "R" after his name gives LBR bipartisanship street cred (which is far more valuable than integrity in LBR world).

Before that tweet was 3 hours old she piled four more tweets on top to push it down, because she simply will not allow the racist President to keep her…

Sorry. We are working on it.

The comment function is down. We're working (I think) to fix the problem. Until then, the comments do arrive, but everything is being rejected and has to be restored manually.…

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Friday issued a warning Friday that the US government is at risk of running out of cash sooner than expected. In a letter to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Mnuchin wrote that the US might default on its obligations as soon as early September, before Congress returns from its summer recess. The US Treasury, which is facing a growing deficit thanks to President Donald Trump's 2017 tax cuts, had said it had enough cash to last until the fall.

Here are some things we already know about the looming Trump recession. 1) It will be caused by greedy poor people who have the audacity to be poor while expecting government services. 2) Another culprit will be fat cat teachers and teacher unions. Also Mexicans,liberals, Iran, and the fake media. 3) More and bigger tax cuts will get us out of it because when corporations and rich people get tax cuts they reinvest that money in creating jobs. 4) We'll need to socialize bank losses because socialism is good for that and that alone. 5) To do so, we'll have to "tighen our belts" (around our necks) and get rid of wasteful government spending on Social Security. 6) Democrats will compromise with Republicans on this for of trickle down stimulus rather than risk being viewed as partisan.

Hard as it is to tell by our bozo-besotted media, the Persimmon Peril is not involved in everything happening on Earth. Here are stories that were eclipsed by Trump's giant…

I don't get it, but there is no other way to explain Pelosi and Biden's constant attacks on progressive democrats.

Ryan had a chance to speak out about Trump when it mattered. He didn't. Now he is quoted in a book claiming Trump was/is a disaster. Well, no shit Sherlock.

No matter what you think about Sanders, you have to love his "anti-endorsements" page which catalogs and collects denunciations of Sanders from billionaire ghouls and their enablers.
