American media STILL loves being clowned by Trump
Trump’s proposed tariffs on Mexico were complete bullshit from the outset. They were toothless nonsense that would have had a crippling effect on the U.S. economy. They were never serious, and yet when Trump called off the threat late last week, the news was breathlessly reported as a dramatic win for the White House:
“Trump: U.S., Mexico reach deal to avoid new tariffs” (NPR)
“Trump drops his Mexico tariff threat after reaching immigration enforcement deal” (CNN)
“Trump says U.S. and Mexico reach last-minute deal to avoid tariffs” (CBS)
“The trade war ended before it began, forestalling that economic reckoning,” The New York Times stressed in its initial coverage. – Via Daily Kos
Fucking dupes.
I love* all Dem candidates, but I like Warren.
I’m really warming up to Warren as my first choice. Talk me down.

Biden’s Hide Hides Fresh Hyde Scars
There are a number of ways to look at Biden’s Hyde Amendment change of heart. What you think about Biden will dictate whether you think it was a thoughtful reassessments, or a craven pander. Similarly, when you look at the Biden campaign you either see amateurish lurching, or professional responsiveness.
Former Vice President Joe Biden says he now wants to throw out the Hyde Amendment,dropping his long-held support for the measure that blocks federal funds from being used for most abortions amid criticism from his 2020 Democratic rivals.
“If I believe health care is a right, as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone’s ZIP code,” he said
I mostly credit the blog “DelawareLiberal” for the country’s embrace of liberalism
The U.S. public’s vision for the government’s size and scope is “the most liberal ever recorded” in the 68-year history of what’s known as the Public Policy Mood estimate, the estimate’s creator James Stimson announced Wednesday.
Lisa Blunt Rochester Would Like You to Know That She is Working on Teen Pregnancy
LBR is somehow still on the dark about Trump and the threat he poses to the continuation of the Republic, but she is all over teen pregnancy. That’s something, I suppose. Washington, D.C. — Yesterday, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, introduced H.R. 3053, the Personal Responsibility […]
A Draft Dodger Gave a Speech About Valor in Normandy
A man who used his privileged status to fake a disability in order to dodge national service gave a speech this morning at a ceremony at the grave site of more than 9,380 American service members who were killed in the World War II landings and the operations that followed. “To the men that sit […]
Whoever the Dems Nominate is Going to Beat Trump
I think I’ll sit out the primaries. Polling shows that whoever the Dems nominate will win against our historically unpopular fuckwad of a President. And I don’t want to get in endless arguments with Democrats who say, “If (my favored candidate) doesn’t win the nomination, TRUMP WILL WIN.” Just stop it with that nonsense. Trump will not win.
So why bother getting all worked up over the primaries?
A new (Michigan) statewide Glengariff Group public opinion survey of 600 likely voters shows how Democratic presidential candidates Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden all easily beat Trump.
Murphy millionaire’s tax ad hits the right notes
I love the ads that NJ Gov, Phil Murphay is running. The Ads are aimed at pressuring the state legislature to address tax fairness in upcoming budget negotiations.
Of course, why he needs to pressure Democratic legislators to support policies that are favored by 72% of New Jerseyans, and 90% of New Jersey Democrats is a little sickening.
Should Americans Without Passports be Allowed to Vote?
There is a very high level of stupidity in the comments around the idea of “socialism” and I think it is a stupidity that can be tracked to people who have rarely traveled outside of Delaware, and never traveled outside of the United States.
I may be wrong, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to educate these nit wits and losers about the workings of modern world outside our borders.
Breaking: Carney Nominates Claire DeMatteis To Be Correction Head
Here’s the story from the Delaware State News. She’s got quite the job ahead of her. I’m pretty sure that Carney wanted her to replace Phelps ASAP even before Phelps announced his ‘retirement’.
The Earth is dying. Will it die with some dignity? I doubt it.
Humanity is acting like a parasite determined to kill its host. We’ve known that for 20 years and have blissfully ignored it.
So, in the ignoring of it we have two (some will say three*) choices.
1) Draw lines, and build walls around our dwindling resources and declare war on anyone who looks at our clean water longingly.
2) Figure out that we need to cooperate like we’ve never cooperated before, and thereby salvage a little bit of dignity before the end.
The first is the choice of Republicans and other Morlock racist nationalists movements. They are openly spoiling for an end times throw-down that leaves 2/3rds of the world’s population dead with a bedraggled remnant enslaved as they enjoy the fruits of being on top where they belong.
The second choice is the choice of Eloi egg-heads and liberals who somehow manage to still view humanity as The beauty of the world, (so noble in reason, infinite in faculty. In action how like an Angel, In apprehension how like a god).
*The third choice is a mirage. It is a worldview that says the Morlocks can be reasoned with. This is the worldview of time travelers from the year 1969 who don’t understand the events of the past 50 years. Joe Biden, for example.
