Unequal Application of Justice! It’s official.  Trump’s entire defense is Whataboutism.   Very odd, but I guess it shows that there is really no legal defense so they are going for a political defense and betting that they can win in the Electoral College. Trump claims ‘political persecution’ in speech after arraignment Former president accused of […]

When dipshit centrists played along with the right-wing’s anti-trans hysteria, they were fools to think the right-wing was going to be satisfied with disappearing trans people. I even remember a dipshit sober centrist commenter here joining in.  Good times. It Was A Good Few Years, In Some Ways Back in the closet. Starbucks has banned […]

Song of the Day 6/13: Dave Matthews Band, “Busted Stuff”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on June 13, 2023 0 Comments

Unless I’m missing some nuance, MAGAt Nation is threatening to bust stuff up just because their hero is being called to account for his lawbreaking. Yes, nothing says “we’re the party of law and order” better than calling for people to break the law in support of an even bigger lawbreaker. This song first surfaced […]

Video of Silent Crowd at DeSantis Rally Goes Viral: ‘Jeb Bush Vibes’

I did think DeSantis was going to give Trump some trouble.  I guess it is a little harder to beat someone in a primary election, WHILE constantly kissing that person’s ass.

DEGOP Still Silent on Trump Indictment – What’s Up Wit Dat?

Unless I’m missing it, Twitter,  FB and the DEGOP’s main web page   continue to lack any mention of the Republican’s Orange Lord and Savior being indicted on some very serious crimes. It is and odd and eerie quiet.  They’ve been full blown Trump devotees in the past.

Song of the Day 6/12: AC/DC, “Highway to Hell”

Yesterday’s I-95 fire and overpass collapse in Northeast Philadelphia quickly acquired a soundtrack. Somebody posted to social media a drive-by of the fire a few minutes before the collapse, black smoke billowing before they come upon the flames. I don’t think this was actually on their car radio, but some things are just too right […]

Senator Chris Coons was instrumental in Getting whackjob Trump Judge, Aileen Cannon, on Federal Bench

Filed in National by on June 12, 2023 6 Comments

Coons helped Trump rush a record number of ideological nutbags into lifetime positions in the Federal  judiciary.  U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon was one of them.   Heck of a job, Coonsie!   Twelve Democratic senators voted in favor of the appointment of a federal district judge who granted former President Donald Trump‘s request for a special […]

Per wikipedia, Kyle Evans Gay is an American politician. She is a Democratic member of the Delaware Senate representing District 5.[1]  She came out of nowhere to dominate our highly scientific Lt Gov poll.  Is she even interested in it?  If someone interested in her senate seat?   So many questions. This week’s poll…  What happens to Trump?   With our […]

DL Open Thread Monday June 12 2023

I’m just obsessed with the Trump indictment. I think it is because I’m obsessed with how airtight and bullet proof the indictment appears to be and the contrast with the UTTER nonsense his defenders are coming up with. I mean…whataboutism & weaponization? Jesus Christ, that’s it? I want to sit down with a Trump and […]

Rethugs Call For Insurrection Because ‘Trump’.  Is this the kind of free speech the 1st Amendment protects?  I don’t think so: “We have now reached a war phase,” Representative Andy Biggs (AZ) tweeted Friday. “Eye for an eye,” he added, ignoring that a Florida grand jury decided on its own accord to indict the former […]
