Delaware Republican Party   Via FB·  Last night, 400 people took the time to learn about Critical Race Theory at a town hall in Georgetown. They heard from experts, parents, and teachers about what’s being taught when schools adopt CTR. Getting informed is the first step. Taking action is the next!

Centrists Dipshits Need to Dipshit

I keep forgetting how eager Biden and Merrick Garland were to let “bygones be bygones” and allow Trump to fade into obscurity. They really just wanted him to shut the fuck up, and all the Jan 6th stuff would have been forgiven.   Congress shamed them into it. And of course, Trump could no more shut […]

Dumb CW you may hear from low info voters

Filed in National by on August 2, 2023 5 Comments

Everyone is not a politics news junky.  And because conservative news is always on in waiting rooms, bars and barber shops,  you may hear less informed people [like my brother-in-law] saying this: Why now?   It is three years later?   It does seem a little like election interference, doesn’t it?   Have pity on these people.  I […]

One thing Trump and defenders forget to mention when they go on about “election interference” and the deep state is that Trump may have avoided all of this by not doing so many crimes.   New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office said Tuesday its civil fraud case against former President Trump, his two elder sons […]

And boom goes the dynamite. Jack Smith answered the question “Will Donald Trump ever face consequences for his life of crime?” in the affirmative, and American history has been changed forever. We just don’t know how yet, because the debris from the blast still hasn’t hit the ground. Considering that those six co-conspirators are for […]

He isn’t going to make it to the convention, but my August 15th prediction might have been a little aggressive.    Co-chair for a Ron DeSantis PAC gives up on the Florida man: “He makes dumb moves” Even GOP strategist Ed Rollins, who co-chaired the Ready for Ron PAC (until he didn’t), thinks Ron DeSantis […]

I went to see Oppenheimer last night and I guess I was still under that movie’s spell when I normally would have been collecting up some quips for this space.  So once again, it falls to you, gentle reader, to create meaning out of the news.

Here are some suggested topics:

  • Even more evidence to Trump’s additional crimes comes to light.
  • Desantis is terrible at running for President
  • That fucking Chris Coons, JESUS CHRIST!!
  • Trump supporters wonder why Biden has not been arrested and executed yet.
  • DEGOP is a truly helpless bunch of losers.

As for Oppenheimer, I’ll not review the movie, leaving that to professionals like Andrew C.  But I will say that it hit me as intended. With the full force of a work of art.

Pretend tough guy, Kevin McCarthy, slinked away like a…I don’t know.  I guess you could say,  like a pussy “You. Are. A. Pussy” “McCarthy said, ‘If you ever say something like that to me again, I’m gonna kick the shit out of you,’” a member claimed to The Daily Beast. Another member who witnessed the […]

Trump says Ukraine aid should be paused & deposited in his campaign account for safekeeping until the Lappy! ™ matter is resolved

All  LAPPY!(tm) all the time between now and the election. And why not? The media allowed them to chant “Benghazi!” 24/7/365 and it worked.
