DL Open Thread Non-Coup (Sorta) Edition: Thursday, January 7, 2021
BTW, Biden Is Officially The President-Elect. You would have had to stay up until 5 am or so to know it. But, it happened. This IS Who We Are. The notion of the ‘United States As Example’ is dead. Highly-recommended read. A sample: Over the past four years, that example has been badly damaged. We […]
DL Open Thread: Trump-Incited Coup Edition
Trump brought ’em to DC, lit the fuse, incited them, and pointed them in the direction of the US Capitol. An assault on democracy to keep a despot in power. Only 52 arrests? There would be at least 52 dead if this was a BLM rally…not to mention a storming of the Capitol would not […]
BREAKING: Biden Selects Merrick Garland To Be AG
Color me unexcited. I understand the symbolism, but he’s not the progressive we needed: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/06/biden-to-tap-merrick-garland-for-attorney-general-455410 Civil rights leaders will not be pleased. The closest analogy I can come up with: Hillary Clinton picking Tim Kaine for Veep.
DL Open Thread: Wednesday, January 6, 2021: Non-Georgia Edition
Trump Prepares To Throw Pence Under The Bus. The coup officially fails today. Will poor Mike be OK? Doctors fear he might have to undergo a lipunsuction procedure. Won’t Stop The Troglodytes, Though. The Head Trogg will be there to air his grievances. The myth of his invulnerability has crumbled. I’m calling it: Feel free […]
Dems March Through Georgia Open Thread
Make no mistake: They’ve won ’em both. Ossoff has a 16,000 vote lead, more than what Biden won Georgia by. The remaining smattering of outstanding votes are in strong D areas. So Many Heroes, Stacey Abrams First Among Them. It is impossible to overstate how hard it is to build a coalition the way that […]

Trump’s Stoopid Lawyer Trix. Sidney Powell. Cleta Mitchell. Wonder if Trump will pay Powell’s legal fees if she’s sued. Trump’s Sources? QAnon And 4Chan. Guess Fox and even Newsmax are too mainstream for him now… EPA Approves ‘Secret Science’ Rule Limiting Use Of Research In Policy-Making. One more ‘gift’ from Trump on his way to […]

DL Open Thread: Monday, January 4, 2020
All Living Defense Secretaries Argue Against Involving Military In Election. This is neither an academic exercise, nor is it taking a place in a vacuum. They have at least some reason to believe that Trump is considering a military coup to keep himself in power. After yesterday, do you have any doubt that their concern […]
Trump’s Batshit Crazy Phone Call To The Georgia Secretary Of State
Wow, I mean, wow! Even by Trump standards, this is insane: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/d45acb92-4dc4-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes.’ BTW, this call took place–yesterday.
DL Open Thread: Sunday, January 3, 2021
Wednesday Is Gonna Be A Shitshow. Rethug senators vs. the voters. Pence egging them on. Slackjawed RWNJ’s descend on DC. All to protest Trump’s loss by over 7 million votes. Anti-democracy on display for the world to see. Will January 6 Mark The End Of The Rethuglican Party? Steve Schmidt thinks so. Today’s Speakership Vote […]
You Simply MUST Watch ‘Trial 4’.
It’s on Netflix. An incredible episodic documentary about a 1993 killing of a Boston policeman, and how the ‘justice’ system fixated on a Black suspect who spent 22 years in prison. Each episode is around 55 minutes long, and it’s compelling TV. Everybody who wished to speak had the chance to speak. You will get […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, January 2, 2021
Trump Calls Georgia Senate Races ‘Illegal And Invalid’. Maybe he’s been looking at the campaign polling. The Rethuglican circular firing squad, it’s a beautiful thing. Happy New Year, Mike Pence. RWNJ’s want him in prison. He’s gonna have to declare Biden the President-Elect, and his plan to skip town right after said declaration has been […]
