Erik Raser-Schramm Excoriates DEGOP After Their Stupid State Convention
I missed this because the DEGOP is a moribund joke. Erik Raser-Schramm, however, took note:
Baby Boomer Assholes Haunted by the Ghost of McGovern
Here is a telling comment: “You forgot McGovern, the farthest left of the bunch and the biggest loser.”
So.. the logic goes, don’t nominate a liberal because one lost in 1972. But ignore the very solid losing record of all the moderates who were out to “save” the Democratic Party from a McGovern style defeat.
It is a joke really. I hate these baby boomer fucks. Face it nathan, you and your generation done FUCKED UP. Get off the stage and stick your baby boomer wisdom up your saggy, age spot coverd ass.
Yeah..fuck this guy. Bad Dems are worse than Republicans because they provide “bi-partisan” cover to the Right’s egregious malfeasance
Dan Lipinksi isn’t a “good fit for his district.” He is a conservative fuck-stick who needs to be taken to the curb. A coalition of major progressive groups has joined together to try to oust Rep. Dan Lipinksi (D-IL), one of the most conservative House Democrats left in Congress. The pro-abortion rights groups EMILY’s List, […]

If you stand up in a crowded movie theatre and scream “Sandy Hook Never Happened!” I reserve the right to punch you in the face

Accounts barred from Facebook, as well as its subsidiary Instagram, as part of the new enforcement include the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the neo-Nazi sympathizer Milo Yiannopoulos and the anti-Muslim figurehead Laura Loomer. Jones was previously banned from Facebook but still had […]
Coons gets Barr on Record Claiming That Campaign Help from North Korea is A-OK
Barr testified that Presidential campaigns getting help from foreign governments is OK, but (absurdly) draws the line at getting help from foreign intelligence service.
Winner: Foreign governments who want to interfere in US elections
Barr went to extreme lengths to normalize the Trump campaign’s extensive contacts with Russia. Barr hesitated before answering a question from Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) about whether presidential campaigns offered dirt on their opponents by foreign governments should report the offer to the FBI. The Trump campaign faced this exact scenario when top members of its campaign took a meeting in Trump Tower with a Kremlin-connected lawyer who was offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.
“If a foreign intelligence service does, yes,” Barr said, making a distinction between intelligence services and governments.
William Barr flat out lied to Congress in (and about) his bullshit summary of the Mueller Report
Things we already know about piece of shit Trump defense attorney William Barr, who is posing as Attorney General, have been confirmed by the Washington Post.
We know Barr lied. We know Trump is a criminal. But the only reports that matter are the vote totals in 552 days.

Bethany Hall Long is Blowing It
My sense is that Bethany Hall-Long REALLY wants to be Governor someday. If I’m right, she is making a big mistake by not primarying the weak, distracted, friendless, checked out, dithering John Carney. She’d have one candidate to beat – a weak, distracted, friendless, checked out, dithering candidate. But if she waits her turn and runs in four years she’ll be facing a platoon of tough, determined, fighters in a primary. Simply put – she is blowing it.
This same logic goes for Sean Lynn and if not Lynn, whatever candidate Delaware United, and/or Mom’s Demand Action are looking at supporting. Take Carney out in 2020 and you have a walk to the Governor’s office in an Anti-Trump wave year. Wait, and you’ve got a tough uphill fight.
A rare win/win/win situation for Democrats – Biden vs Bernie vs Mayor Pete & An Open Thread Commenter Challenge
Mark the time. I’m calling it. It is a three person race: Biden/Bernie/Mayor Pete. The good news is that all three candidates are great and will mop the floor with Donald Trump, provided we avoid turning the primary into a Titus Andronicus-style meat pie buffet.
Biden announced in person yesterday in an address to fat union guys that is being lauded by Dem insiders and beltway talking heads. (Like it or not, Dem insiders are a Democratic constituency.) If Iowa and New Hampshire agree with beltway talking heads that Anita Hill, the Crime Bill, and “handsy” is old news, then Biden is in a very strong position going forward.
I know it is temping to talk about all the things you don’t like about Biden, so I am issuing a challenge to you, dear commenter.
For every negative thing you say about Biden, provide two positive things. I’ll start.
I don’t like that Joe voted to support Bush’s stupid vanity war in Iraq, but I like the fact that he gets under Trump’s skin and I think he can give a decent set piece speech.
This, Exactly
David Akadjian’s post at Daily Kos splits the arrow in the bull’s eye with this explanation of why Democrats might as well do the right thing instead of looking for the magic formula that will get Republicans and the media to stop demonizing them.
