NO!   No to this.

This is fun poking MAGA idiots, but on balance, no.   Just no. Jack Smith is not going to save democracy.

Put your faith, and your […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on August 3, 2023 0 Comments

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 […]

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 […]
