1) Fuck Hunter Biden. That said – for Republicans everything is always about presidential electoral politics and nothing is ever about policy.
Since they are widely hated for their policies (and because they are awful), they have to make their opponent MORE awful in the eyes of low info voters.
That was easy with Hillary Clinton. It was harder to do with Biden, but the project NEVER stops. It is relentless and bottomless.
2) “Sweetheart deal”. That’s what the DOJ kept trying to give to Trump. When Merrick Garland’s made the decision to not investigate Trump for trying to overthrow the government because Republicans might get mad – that was a pretty fucking sweet deal.
A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year would pass before prosecutors and FBI agents jointly embarked on a formal probe of actions directed from the White House to try to steal the election. Even then, the FBI stopped short of identifying the former president as a focus of that investigation.
Song of the Day 6/20: A.L. Phipps and the Phipps Family, “The Great Titanic”
Five people have been lost descending to the wreck of the Titanic in a small submersible craft.

Unhinged Hateful Rhetoric Works! Especially when you have centrist dipshits taking up your bogus talking points. A majority of Republicans now say same-sex relations are immoral after a year of ‘groomer’ attacks on the LGBTQ community Only 41% of Republicans say gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable, according to Gallup. That is a 15% […]
Democrats, once again, catch their dick in their zipper by trying to not catch their dick in their zipper
Doing or not doing a thing because Republicans might react badly is just stupid. I Was Told This Wasn’t Happening Even though it obviously was.FBI resisted opening probe into Trump’s role in Jan. 6 for more than a year In the DOJ’s investigation of Jan. 6, key Justice officials also quashed an early plan for […]
Last Week’s Poll Results and This Week’s Poll Question
What happens to Trump? About 44% of us think that Trump is going to walk on the stealing, hoarding and sharing top secret documents charges. That’s probably a good reflection of the overall probability of that happening. Trump keeps saying the we have a two tiered justice system and he is right. One system for […]
Song of the Day 6/19: The Rascals, “People Got to Be Free”
How does an old white guy celebrate Juneteenth? I’m going with blue-eyed soul from some of its early practitioners, the Rascals. The sentiment sounds hokey today — they don’t play this one much even on oldies radio — but it was widespread in 1968, when this song spent five weeks at No. 1 on the […]

This Is How You Run A Government: Assuming the 2000 tons of lightweight recycled glass nuggets hold steady, the Rethugs can cross Pennsylvania off their list of competitive states for 2024: “We are going to get traffic moving again, thanks to the extraordinary work that is going on here,” Shapiro (D) said during remarks at […]
Trump lawyer bails on documents case
To explain why Trump can’t keep lawyers, most legal experts point to a legal doctrine known as – He’s guilty as fuck. CNN — A lawyer who was representing former President Donald Trump in his defamation lawsuit against CNN said Friday that he was withdrawing from the case, in the latest sign of the break-up of the […]
Song of the Day 6/17: Mungo Jerry, “In the Summertime”
Some people insist summer starts with the equinox on June 21. Bollocks. June, July and August constitute “the summer,” and the people prove it every year by swarming the country’s beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day. They take Mungo Jerry’s advice — they have a drink, have a drive and go out and see […]
