Those Zany Christians
Christian zealotry takes many forms. Here in the United States we have zealots taking healthcare away from women to make Jesus smile. In the Philippines…. SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines >> Eight Filipinos were nailed to crosses to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering in a bloody Good Friday tradition, including a carpenter, who was crucified for the […]
Delaware Sportsman’s Assoc & DEGOP working hard to make our next mass shooting MUCH worse
Although details of the Christiana Mall shooting appear to be embargoed by the Delaware State Police for the time being, one thing is certain – if the Delaware Sportsman’s Association and the DEGOP get there way, our next shooting will be much worse. Currently the Delaware Sportsman’s Association is engaged in a court fight to […]
Smug and assured, ignorant and shameless
There are many necessary responses to Matthew Kacsmaryk’s misogynist lawlessness, and Jessica Valenti’s too-hot-for-Elon visceral reaction is certainly one of them: There’s no real way to prepare for the feeling of despair that rises in your body as you’re reminded, once again, that you’re no longer a full citizen in your own country. I want to be […]
Republicans Use Federal Judiciary to Enact National Abortion Ban
Heck of a job, Coons. Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision claiming to overrule the FDA’s approval of abortion drug mifepristone—23 years late—is an appalling and indefensible abuse of power that will go down in history as one of the judiciary’s most humiliating and lawless moments. https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/myvmojgodvr/ND%20Texas%20Abortion%20Pill%20Ruling%202023-04-07.pdf… The ruling is stayed for a week, so nothing changes now.

It looks like the Fed will need to make houses and cars even more expensive
U.S. adds a healthy 236,000 jobs despite Fed’s rate hikes America’s employers added a solid 236,000 jobs in March, reflecting a resilient labor market and suggesting that the Federal Reserve may see the need to keep raising interest rates in the coming months. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, not far above the 53-year low […]
Chris Coons would like you to know that a “free trade” deal with the UK will be great for his fellow Millionaires and Billionaires
Since the UK still has some labor protections and socialized medicine (not just for the old fuckers), I guess the US is going to play the “Mexico” in this deal. While the world is anxiously focused on the havoc being wreaked by rising interest rates and the anxiety over banks, we should note that there’s […]
Conservatives call for charges against Hunter Biden after Trump indictment
Lappy!(tm): Don’t threaten me with a good time.
While Republicans threaten to prosecute Democrats for fake crimes in retaliation for Trump being charged with real crimes – most Democrats are saying, “If you have crimes, please prosecute. That’s what is supposed to happen.”
Republicans – School Shootings “rational” “worth it” & “prudent deal” to preserve 2nd Ammnt
Republicans are doubling down on being more honest about protecting guns over elementary school children: Charlie Kirk: You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I am – I think it’s worth it. I think it’s […]
What does Trump mean by “racist in reverse”?
When Trump says “reverse racism” he is obviously he is making a value judgement about the kind of racism he is enduring. As Trump uses it, “reverse racism” is an illegitimate perversion of the regular racism directed at African American people by white people.
Regular racism is the normative state. It is fine. We all understand and accept regular racism. We live and breath it. But when a black person attacks a white person solely for being white, well – that is shocking. That shit needs to be called out, and simply saying “racist” doesn’t cut it.
People are saying Clarence Thomas accepted these luxury vacations as “gifts” – actually he earned them
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has for decades been the recipient of “luxury vacations” — some of which would normally cost as much as $500,000 — via billionaire GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow, according to a new ProPublica report.
[Dumb Fucking] Statement from DEGOP Speaks for Itself [Annotated]
For Immediate Release
Media Contact: George D. Rotsch 302-354-5730Statement Regarding the Trump Indictment
“This is a sad day in our nation. But it should not surprise us that Alvin Bragg indicted former President Donald Trump. [This is a shocking break with MAGA orthodoxy to admit that Trump is the “former” President. tsk, tsk, Jane.] His campaign promise was to get Donald Trump. And this simply continues the practice of the Democrats using Government against the people. First the IRS, then the FBI, and now the Manhattan DA’s Office. [Lappy!(tm) would like you to repeat how politically motivated prosecutions are wrong – but with feeling this time!]
Legally, the case appears flawed, […crimes are only committed by black people in cities, Trump is white, duh!] outside the prosecutor’s jurisdiction and the statute of limitations. [Yes, we have made the switch from Fox News to Newsmax. Why do you ask?]
Politically, if it was intended to harm the former President, that has backfired; his favorability shot up, and donations are pouring in. [OMG!! YES!! Please nominate him!! HE IS AWESOME, WILL SURELY WIN NEXT TIME!! The campaign speeches that are long boring lists of grievances are certain to win over moderates and independents.]
We the People, are not stupid. [Psssst….Whenever someone claims to not be stupid, guess what..?] We recognize a political prosecution for what it is. Regrettably, this is yet another instance of the unfair application and weaponization of governmental authority.” [Well, Biden did say, “I am Your RETRIBUTION”. oh wait, that wasn’t Biden? Shoot.].
Jane, [I once humored the brain-dead dunces, now I am one] Brady
Chair of the [flat out of ideas] Delaware GOP
Song of the Day 4/6: The Buckinghams, “Don’t You Care”
No crowd of supporters appeared in New York for Donald Trump’s arraignment. Television networks cut away from his whiny speech afterwards before he finished. People were leaving his Waco rally after half an hour. If he had a trace of self-awareness he’d be asking the question the Buckinghams set to music in 1967, when it […]
Great Night For Progressives!
Progressives win key Wisconsin Supreme Court race and Chicago’s Mayoral race. Wisconsin has artificially been ruled by Rethugs due to anti-democratic legislation pushed through by the likes of Ron Johnson. An acquiescent Supreme Court has kept these impediments in place. The overwhelming win by Janet Protasiewicz could well overturn that MAGA stranglehold: The win by […]
