DL Open Thread: Tues., August 4, 2020
Trump Organization In DA’s Crosshairs. Not just or, perhaps even primarily, for the ‘hush money’ payments: The prosecutors cited newspaper reports, including one that concluded the president may have illegally inflated his net worth and the value of his properties to lenders and insurers. They also included an article on the congressional testimony of his […]

US Outbreaks Have Become ‘Extraordinarily Widespread’. Dr. Birx has always played the ‘good cop’ to Fauci’s ‘bad cop’. In other words, she’s downplayed the dangers. When she says ‘extraordinarily widespread’, she means it’s hitting hard in Trump country, especially in rural America. I agree with Nancy Pelosi that Birx has been a major part of […]

The Corruption Of Trump’s Impeachment Defense. From a guy who was there, and spotted the exact moment when it was clear that the Administration was being totally dishonest. Trump To Bar Press From Convention. Fine. Don’t cover his speech, don’t cover it at all. The conventions are designed to engage the public, and build momentum. […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July 2020
Including a song from an artist that I never ever thought I would feature here. But I’m getting ahead of myself. An incredibly diverse swath of sound this month: Wow, chill-inducing: OK, here’s the artist I never would have expected to feature. Of course, Bon Iver had more than a little something to do with […]

The Criminal Neglect Of Jared Kushner’s ‘Get Shit Done’ Covid Task Force. Essential reporting, essential reading. There are too many blatant violations of the public welfare to list, but here’s one that I betcha many of you have long suspected: Against that background, the prospect of launching a large-scale national plan was losing favor, said […]

Brandywine School District Board Member To Teachers: Don’t Want To Get Sick? Get Out Of Teaching. Ralph Ackerman. Idiot. Never been a teacher. He had been on the board from 1993 to 2003. Now he’s back on the board. He shouldn’t be. Trump Isn’t Even Fighting For Relief Package. Why? There’s likely a compromise to […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, July 30, 2020
Trump Promises Suburban Moms They Won’t Have To Worry About Blacks Any More. It’s more than possible that he really THINKS this is 1968. All-in on flat-out racism. It’s clear that Nixon’s 1968 campaign (‘the silent majority’) is his blueprint. Rethugs Give Up (Almost) On Coronavirus Relief. There is, of course, a bill that has […]
DL Exclusive: Dave McBride Hasn’t Lived In His District For At Least 10 Years.
Politicians lie. Some lie about where they live. Dave McBride and Cathy Cloutier are two of them. As Democratic State Chair Erik Raser-Schramm has made clear, it is unethical to run for a seat when you don’t live in the district. He said that about a Democrat, Melanie George Smith. Dave McBride isn’t only running […]

‘Umbrella Man’ A White Supremacist Who Sought To Place Blame On Protesters In Minneapolis. In other words, he’s carrying out Trump/Barr policy, presumably off the payroll, but we can’t be sure. Trump Cornered On Russian Bounties In This Interview. You simply must watch this. Jonathan Swan was prepared for this, and Trump’s only choice was […]

Trump Installs Pal As Postmaster-General. Seeks To Sabotage US Postal Service. Gee, ya think snail-like delivery of absentee ballots could impel Trump to rile up his mouthbreathers with ‘massive voter fraud’ charges? Everything he does is criminal. Can someone wake up Tom Carper? Isn’t he a big post office guy? Has anyone even SEEN Carper […]

The Real Deal On Portland. Kristof spends a lot of time there. He spoke at my youngest daughter’s graduation. His parents are both professors at Portland State. This is accurate. Trump wants a conflagration, maybe multiple conflagrations, to scare the shit out of suburban Americans. He may be getting his wish. He will stop at […]

Company Insiders Cash In On Vaccine Press Releases. More proof the system, whatever the system is, is rigged. Rethugs To Unemployed: “Drop Dead”. Moscow Mitch is in no hurry. Politics trumps helping people. Something tells me the politics ain’t gonna look so good for the R’s come November, because this is what’s likely to happen. […]

DeMatteis ‘Manages’ Prison COVID Outbreak Same Way Yrene Waldron ‘Manages’ Covid Outbreaks In Nursing Homes. If anything, DeMatteis comes across as the more cold-blooded of the two. She betrays nothing but contempt for her charges. Carney loves ‘team players’ like these two. Humanity is not a trait he values. DHS Admits Lying In Order To […]
