The Democratic National Committee has decided to exclude Fox News Channel from televising any of its candidate debates during the 2019-2020 cycle as a result of published revelations detailing the cable network’s close ties to the Trump administration.

All the corruption and madness aside – Trump sucks at being President
We are a party obsessed with paying attention to concern trolls. We are so obsessed we concern troll ourselves when the GOP forgets to do it. Here is a thought, instead of fretting over bullshit, how about telling the simple truth about trump. He sucks at his job. Many Democrats who want to win back […]
The Post Birth Abortion Situation
I’ve been hearing more and more about post-birth abortions. For the uninitiated, post-birth-abortion is a procedure in which a shirtless Michael Moore busts into a delivery room and cuts a post-birth fetus head off with a katana while yelling something about Venezuela. This is clearly an intolerable situation. Post birth abortion is a heinous thing, […]
Trump’s Elevator Skips a Few Floors
I did not watch Donald Trump’s two-hour breakdown at the CPAC conference, but it must have been incredibly bad, because more than a few journalists are asking why mainstream news outlets downplayed his lunacy. As Amanda Marcotte noted the next day, mainstream outlets used euphemisms that failed to convey the disjointed, phantasmic nature of his […]
President Cha-Ching!
WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign leaders showered President Donald Trump and his family with more than $140,000 in gifts during their first year in the White House, with China and Saudi Arabia among the most lavish givers.
When I was with the Federal Government if someone offered me tickets to something and the face value was over $40.00 I couldn’t take them because I was corruptible.
Even DC-based Democrats can learn
If the block-headed dumbfucks who “consult” with the Democratic Party about how they need to win over “the middle” can learn, that means even the most hard-case fuckwit that shows up here can learn.
Another Reason Russiagate Matters
I think the No. 1 reason is that foreign money in elections was a foreseen consequence of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, and I hope I don’t have to convince you this is a bad thing. Leftists who think Russiagate is no big deal seem to believe it’s all just political. But leave aside […]
Ilhan Omar Kabuki Theater
Many progressive pundits have noted the irony: Congressional Democrats rush to condemn alleged anti-Semitic comments by Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, but they rarely protest some of their Republican colleagues canoodling with true anti-Semites. (Remember the deplorables chanting “Jews will not replace us!” in Charlottesville?) I see a much sharper irony, but I’ll get back to […]
Song of the Day 3/6: Rowland Salley, “Killing the Blues”
Donviti has inadvertently triggered a lot of blues lovers by saying he hates the blues. I don’t think he meant it literally, but it reminded me of this song. Most people know it by John Prine’s cover — lots of people think he wrote it — or the duet by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant […]
I Love John Hickenlooper
I also love whoever the Democrats nominate, provided the contest is fair and transparent. Full disclosure, this headline was really tough for me, because Hickenlooper sounds ridiculous:
“When I come into office, I would go to Mitch McConnell to his office and I would sit down with him and say, “Now what is the issue again?” and we would talk and I would continue to speak back to him — it sounds silly, right? But this works, this is what I did with the suburban mayors, and they hated the city of Denver. You go to any metropolitan area in the country, the arguments between the big-city mayor and the suburban mayors, they’re almost endless. We’re the one place where this has gotten done, and I think it’ll work in Washington.”
Mitch McConnell, a guy only Joe Biden could describe as reasonable, is going to be really open to getting things done with a Democratic President. WTF, Hickenlooper?
I Hate the Blues
I’m not sure I feel comfortable discussing this subject. I’ll be honest, I think that people around here and on this site have made it nearly impossible to have a serious discussion about this subject without calling one another horrible names. So even to write about it under as suedonympho could get me in huge amounts of trouble.
When you see something, say something. I’ve seen enough, and I’m going to say something.
We are awash in money – our “leaders” just too chickenshit to go after any of it.
Take three minutes and watch this video.
Taxing the top 0.05% of Americans between 2% to 3% of their wealth would pay for many public services, including free public college – THREE TIMES OVER.
