Nov. 24 Open Thread: The Centrists Cannot Hold
Surrender-happy centrist Democrats continue to believe the country can’t run without their wisdom, so let’s look at a prime example of how wrong they are: Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, the +8 R district that Jon Ossoff almost won in a much-watched 2017 special election. The winner of that election, Karen Handel, lost on Nov. 6 […]
Nov. 23 Open Thread: Judge Dread
Now even SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts isn’t Trumpy enough for Trump. Roberts rebuked Trump for trash-talking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Trump has lashed back ever since. Roberts pointed out that there are no “Trump judges” or “Obama judges,” something Trump could have figured out himself had he registered that three of […]
Thanksgiving Open Thread: Happy Mac ‘n’ Cheese Day
I’m a sucker for these U.S. maps that show the most popular insert-noun-here for each state. Today’s shows the most Googled Thanksgiving recipe for each state, and Delaware’s is — macaroni and cheese? Appears so. Delaware is the Yankee outpost of a mac ‘n’ cheese belt that extends north from the Carolinas, interrupted only by […]
Thanks
It has been a rough couple of years. Trump has put stress on our democratic systems that it was not built to endure. But rising up to challenge the worst in American, I have seen the best in America. So I’m thankful for you. You tireless door knockers. You determined meeting organizers. You “not today […]
Belongs on Black Velvet
That’s some right leg. I’d like to meet his tailor. For this I left Paris? Picasso, Miro, Basquiat — lately I’ve seen a lot of paintings that don’t represent reality accurately, or at all. But none of it matched this. Jon McNaughton is a Provo, Utah, artist who cranks out paintings of Trump that reach […]
BREAKING: Trump Tried To Get DOJ To Prosecute Clinton And Comey
His own White House lawyer, Don McGahn, warned him that such behavior could be impeachable. From the NYTimes: The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of […]
ADMINISTRATION ADMITS BORDER DEPLOYMENT WAS A $200 MILLION ELECTION STUNT
As with many of Trump’s actions, it is tempting to point and laugh. However, this stunt has established a precedent. The President now has the authority to order 6,000 active-duty troops around the country.
It is a newly established Presidential power that is worth noting.
Open Thread For Nov. 18, 2018: “Good People On Both Sides”
Like the Pasco Pipebombers. You just know that Trump would sidestep every possibility to bury these bastards. Hey, at least it’ll be that much longer before these miscreants get their Florida voting rights back. Just check out that munitions stash. Why doesn’t California rake their forest floor? You know, like Finland. State Department Official Resigns […]
Open Thread For Nov. 17, 2018: American Myopia
From France, Mssr. Al sends us this gimlet-eyed view of American self-delusion. It’s brilliant. An excerpt: There’s a verbal tic particular to a certain kind of response to a certain kind of story about the thinness and desperation of American society; about the person who died of preventable illness or the Kickstarter campaign to help […]
Rampant Voter Fraud Alleged in Lewes – Manlove Silence Raises Questions – Ernesto Lopez’ Victory in Doubt
This is how these nuts operate. They get a brainworm and it eats away at their wiring. November 9, 2018 My wife and I voted at the Lewes Fire Hall Tuesday morning. There were a great many people lined up to vote, but I was shocked at the total lack of controls. I saw one […]
Dishonest wildfire coverage
From the “Our stupid media file” This month’s catastrophic California wildfires garnered significant media coverage, with major national news programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC airing more than 100 segments about the unfolding disasters. But Media Matters found that just 3.7 percent of those segments mentioned the link between climate change and worsening wildfires. 3.7 […]

Feel the Bern
Bernie Sanders’s latest legislative proposal is the Stop Walmart Act; Sanders describes Walmart as the “poster child for corporate greed” and uses that as a launching point to propose a ban on stock buybacks from companies unless they pay their lowest-waged employees $15/hour. It’s a followup to his Stop Bezos Act, a proposal that ultimately […]
