This FBI search of Maru Lorga is an OUTRAGE! We need to see the search warrant! What are you hiding?

Ok.

This search warrant for Maru Lorga is an OUTRAGE! We need to see the affidavit! What are you hiding?

Really? Ok.

These redactions on the affidavit for the search warrant for Maru Lorga are an OUTRAGE! We need to see the redacted parts! What are you hiding?

Uh… The name of the Trump family member cooperating with the FBI, and the redacted names of Trumps “criminal confederates” ? Really, you want to see those?

Which DE Republicans are NOT MAGA Republicans?

Who isn’t a MAGA Republican is a much easier list to build than the “Which DE Republicans ARE MAGA Republicans?” list. Mike Ramone? He poses as a NOT MAGA Republicans, but I doubt it. Also Kevin Hensley. He tries to pose as a NOT Republican, but that is bullshit as well. Are there any DEGOPers […]

“Sarah McBride to Primary Tom Carper” Part 1

“Sarah McBride to Primary Tom Carper” Part 1

That is a headline I expect to read in about a year. Provided Carper doesn’t croak in the meantime. Why do I think Mcbride and not Blunt Rochester is going to take out the shambling corpse? Well, I’ll tell you. But first, someone check my math. Carper’s current term (the 116th Congress) started in January […]

“Feminists need rape.”

I don’t think even having buddies like this is enough to disqualify Vance from polite DC, bipartisan society. J.D. Vance, the Republican nominee for Senate in Ohio, is typically described as the bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy, a venture capitalist, and a Never Trumper who came to embrace Donald Trump. But that snapshot doesn’t do justice to […]

Song of the Day 8/25: Billy Joe Royal, “Cherry Hill Park”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on August 25, 2022 0 Comments

This one’s for Gary Busey, who ran into some trouble over there in Cherry Hill, N.J., a couple of weeks ago at a horror film convention. Billy Joe Royal of Valdosta, Ga., is usually described as a “country soul” singer. This wasn’t his biggest hit — that would be his debut single, “Down in the […]

No matter how stupid the GOP’s position is on any issue, our media always gives it equal standing with non-stupid positions.   So “Rapists should have paternal rights.” gets equal time with the position  “Rapists shouldn’t have paternal rights.” “People should own machine guns.” is the instant and somehow relevant response to “People shouldn’t own […]

“Dirty Money Deb” must to go! Action Items

Filed in National by on August 24, 2022 10 Comments

This has been a very revealing election cycle.  All of the bloated plutocrats and their paid-off lackeys in Leg Hall have been throughly smoked out.  The bought and paid for toadies like “Dirty Money Deb” Heffernan have even brazenly accepted awards for their service to her paymasters over the interest of their constituent. Therefor, each […]

DL Open Thread Wednesday August 24 2022

Only 20 days to go.  Be sure to support your candidates with money and time.  This is a very significant primary.  But the movement is bigger than any single Election Day.

Elections are an important part of a program of sustained activism, not an end in themselves.

I don’t think anyone here is laboring under the notion that DeSantis would be any better than Trump. But anyway…

Song of the Day 8/22: The Righteous Brothers, “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on August 22, 2022 2 Comments

People might not realize it today, but radio was once nearly as segregated as schools and swimming pools were. White stations played white musicians for white audiences, black stations did the opposite, and little music crossed over between them. That’s why Pat Boone could sell millions of records making sanitized covers of R&B hits by […]

DL Open Thread Monday August 22 2022

22 Days to go. I’m in the 9th where there is no local primary so the only people on the ballot will be York and the convicted state auditor. Based on the vibe in the district I predict the following depressing outcome: Convicted State Auditor: 9 York: 8

That is hyperbole of course, but we’ll have fewer than 300 voters on primary day.

This person’s father is a real old school fascist.
