Open Thread – Fuck Julian Assange
Wikileaks might have started as a transparency organization, but it ended up part of the Russian propaganda effort that elected Trump. Fuck that guy.
I loath…er..I mean, I love Eric Swalwell
Did I say loath? I meant love. He has stated that Trump is an agent of Putin, and stands by that based on the known facts. But he is also running on the “I’m going to out-Coons Chris Coons” platform. He might be the eventual nominee, so that’s as far as I’ll go, but my sense is that America is not clamouring for a guy who promises to put Republicans in his cabinet and try to talk to the NRA as if they are looking for some common sense compromises.
How’s your day going?
I can’t talk about it (as you’ll see below) but I was just introduced to the club. Apparently, all human-beings of goodwill are by default in the club. They remain in the club by following the four rules, and three guidances.
Trump vs (Insert Democrat Here)
There is going to be a lot of punditry around the Democratic horse race – 99% of it is bullshit. You can tune all of that out. Here is the bottom line:
The Democrat who wins the nomination will be the one who is the most optimistic, upbeat, and hopeful candidate overall. That is to say – the anti-Trump. The candidate, like Obama, who seems to have the sunshine on his/her face and a fair breeze at his/her back. I don’t know who that person is. It looked like it could be Uncle Joe for a while, now I doubt it. That person was Bernie in 2016, but the that contest was rigged from the outset for Clinton. I’m not sure Bernie has the most sunshine this year. We’ll see.
This is all the punditry you need.

White House Says Mueller Report Must Be Kept Private Because It’s So Exonerating It Would Drive Public Mad WASHINGTON—Arguing that the special counsel’s findings constitute a grave threat to public health, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders told reporters Thursday the Mueller report must never be released because it’s so exonerating it would drive the […]

The Republican Party Is An Ongoing Criminal Conspiracy: An Open Thread
It’s so obvious, yet, predictably, it is so rarely discussed, if at all. But on matters both macro and micro, the Party could be indicted under the RICO statutes, if said statutes applied to political parties. The purpose of this criminal conspiracy?: To retain power, even if it requires the destruction of democratic norms. No, […]
I love Tim Ryan
Rep Tim Ryan from Ohio has announced, and has spoken the words “industrial policy” which jumps him up in my esteem. Germany has highly paid manufacturing jobs because they have an industrial policy. We don’t have any industrial policy in this country because we’ve turned all industrial policy making over to CEOs that see every decision in terms of the next financial quarter’s stock price.
I also love whoever the Dems nominate, and I’m not interested in any criticism of any candidate that is based on repeating Russian memes.
US/Mexico Border Closed (in Spirit)
I don’t know why Trump bothered to back down on this. He could have just declared the border closed and his supporters (including the New York Times) would have played along. President Donald Trump clearly reacted to the backlash to his border closing threat Thursday, saying that he’d give Mexico a year to stem the […]

Song of the Day 4/4: Randy Rainbow, “Cruella DeVos”
Randy Rainbow, the parodist born for this administration, couldn’t resist taking on Trump’s most inept henchwoman once she cut the Special Olympics from her department’s budget. It’s since been (supposedly) restored, but that didn’t stop Randy from linking her to Disney’s nastiest villainess.

What is Trump so desperate to hide?
House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal (D-MA) formally requested six years of Donald Trump’s tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service Wednesday, setting up a likely legal fight with the administration over the request.
Trump is the first president in decades not to make his tax returns publicly available. The request could shed new light and answer longstanding questions about Trump’s finances.
Neal also requested the returns for eight of Trump’s business entities in a move that could provide yet more detail on the president’s financial history.
In making the request, Neal invoked an obscure Roaring Twenties-era provision that empowers the head of the ways and means committee – as well as two other congressional committees – to request the tax returns of any filer.
