Now that… (above) is something Democrats could run on and win,  if they only had the guts to do it. Sure they’d have moderate ass-wipes like Coons and Kaine fretting and moaning about it, but fuck those guys. And by the way, I know I tend to view “policy” through the lens of “strategy” but […]

A bunch of millionaires known as “U.S. senators” have been sitting around in their Washington, D.C., offices pretending that the richest country in the history of the world simply can’t afford to take care of its retirees if they stop working at 67. They want you to keep swinging that hammer until you’re 70. As […]

Filed in National by on March 1, 2023 6 Comments

This is about as tidy a definition as I’v found: “Woke”, in fact, is a meaningless term — a floating signifier you can stuff with whatever you want. As Zoe Williams wrote in the Guardian: “a hate figure has been created, a shibboleth, a means by which bigots can identify one another and give voice […]

House Oversight Chair Laments That Joe Biden’s Dead Son Was Never Prosecuted

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer invoked the late son of President Joe Biden on Tuesday, lamenting that Beau Biden was never prosecuted over an investigation into illegal contributions involving his father’s 2008 presidential campaign.

When he’s not busy threatening pay-TV providers for not carrying his favorite right-wing channels, or warning that Chinese spy balloons may drop “bioweapons” on the U.S., Comer has devoted much of his energy to launching an investigation into presidential son Hunter Biden’s business dealings.

As anyone who follows the news knows, Republicans have a hard on for drag queens — uh, maybe I should rephrase that. Or maybe I shouldn’t. Southern states must be hotbeds of drag shows, because many of them are trying to curtail them or ban them outright. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has been particularly vocal […]

I would not be surprised to read the headline above sometime. The hate monster needs constant feeding.  In the meantime, while we wait for that once unthinkable headline to become reality, did you see the Florida Nazi’s screaming threats at the Jewish residents of Volusia County?  Just free speech as far as DeSantis is concerned.
