I’ve been reading his tweets, and listening to Coons talk about guns and the headline above is my official summary of his position.

REV & Bill cover the McGuiness trial so you don’t have to

You know, it is funny. It’s ha ha funny. And yet, Kathy being SO transparently corrupt, having committed crimes so casually and publicly, if she skates because the AG screwed up, or because she is mobbed up with our corrupt piece of shit Speaker of the House, it really says some dire things about our state government.

After a false start in Wilmington, the Kathy McGuiness Trial has resumed in Dover. Join us through a Thompson-esque journey through employee categorization, document management, and the ol Steve Wood razzle dazzle.

For me, the odd thing about the Jan 6th investigation are all of the “OMG!” revelations of stuff we all saw happen with our own eyes. Trump loudly and publicly said that he wasn’t going to honor the results if he lost and loudly and publicly didn’t. It’s as if we all watched a toddler […]

Trump clearly and irrefutably tried to seize power through a coup. We can have our political differences, but if you don’t regard that as a problem – you are not an American. What’s gotten into Republicans? The periodic peaceful transfer of power has been the keystone of the Republic since George Washington. All of us […]

Song of the Day 6/13: Inner Circle, “Bad Boys”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by Alby on June 13, 2022 • 1 Comment

This should be the theme music for the Jan. 6 Congressional hearings when they resume tonight. Hey, it worked for “Cops,” which has resumed production for Fox Nation after Paramount dropped it in the wake of the George Floyd murder in Minneapolis. Inner Circle, the Jamaican band that first recorded the song in 1987, was […]

White Lawlessness Comes to Coer d’Alene

Filed in National by jason330 on June 13, 2022 • 2 Comments

The White Community and White Leadership have been largely silent on recent arrests of 31 members of a white group planning to riot at a gay pride event.

From mass school shootings, to price gouging by white owned energy companies, to election nullification, to planned riots, we’ve clearly got a white people problem in America. Until the white leadership steps up to address rampant white lawlessness, it is hard to see how the country can move forward.

When you read this CNN headline, who do you imagine the “Senator” mentioned is?

Senator reveals how bipartisan group reached gun legislation proposal

If you guessed Coons, you are right. If you want to listen to Coons wax eloquent for 8 minutes about the greatness of glorious bipartisanship, go for it. I tapped out at the 6 minute mark.

In the meantime, I have my doubts about anything coming from this. Apparently I’m not the only one with doubts:

@ChrisMurphyCT

10/ Drafting this law and passing it through both chambers will not be easy. We have a long way before this gets to the President’s desk. But with your help and activism, we can get this done. This time, failure cannot be an option.

Wait, what? “…your help and activism” ? Clap harder ya’ll. The glorious bipartisan compromise, like tinker bell, needs you. Outside activism is required for the glorious bipartisan compromise among 20 senators to become fully agreed text and pass the senate.

Jan 6th Hearings Audience of 1 – Merrick Garland

Filed in National by jason330 on June 11, 2022 • 0 Comments

Lazy prosecutors always seem to rely on their tea leaf reading skills when they don’t indict because conviction seems improbable. Robert Kuttner Writing at The American prospect makes the case that the Jan 6th hearting is taking this excuse away from Garland. The most important thing to appreciate about the January 6th Committee hearings is […]

I feel like it is time for me to propose my DNC rules change again.

When picking a VP, whoever comes in SECOND at the Democratic National convention should have the right of first refusal for the VP spot. Since 1984 this would have given us tickets like:

Song of the Day 6/10: Randy Newman, “Guilty”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by Alby on June 10, 2022 • 1 Comment

This is the song I’d like to hear played when Donald Trump is hanged for treason. The song closed side 1 of Randy Newman’s controversial 1974 album “Good Old Boys” and was released as the LP’s first single. It didn’t chart. Newman wasn’t the first to record the tune. Bonnie Raitt, backed by most of […]

There is just so much evidence that Trump organized and executed an attempted coup to unlawfully remain in power. The shame of this continuing attempt to end our constitutional democracy touches every person in America who still calls themself a Republican.
