BREAKING: Trump Indicted. Again!
From the NYTimes: Former President Donald J. Trump was indicted on Tuesday in connection with his widespread efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the first criminal charges to emerge from a sprawling federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s attempts to cling to power after losing the presidency to Joseph R. Biden Jr. The indictment, filed by […]
Desantis Campaign Death Watch – 167 Until Iowa
He isn’t going to make it to the convention, but my August 15th prediction might have been a little aggressive. Co-chair for a Ron DeSantis PAC gives up on the Florida man: “He makes dumb moves” Even GOP strategist Ed Rollins, who co-chaired the Ready for Ron PAC (until he didn’t), thinks Ron DeSantis […]
Song of the Day 8/1: Cyndi Lauper, “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Theme”
A lot of 40-somethings are having childhood flashbacks at news of the death at 70 of Paul Reubens, far better known as Pee-Wee Herman. He announced his six-year struggle with cancer only in a posthumous message. Reubens developed the Pee-Wee character as one of the early members of the Groundlings, the Los Angeles improv troupe […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #10-RD 15
This will rank much higher if somebody emerges as a challenger. Fact is, nobody knows just how strong Our PAL Val Longhurst is in her own district. She’s had a couple of half-hearted primary challenges from James Burton, who had no money. Burton’s last challenge came in 2016, where he got about 35% of the […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday August 1 2023
I went to see Oppenheimer last night and I guess I was still under that movie’s spell when I normally would have been collecting up some quips for this space. So once again, it falls to you, gentle reader, to create meaning out of the news.
Here are some suggested topics:
- Even more evidence to Trump’s additional crimes comes to light.
- Desantis is terrible at running for President
- That fucking Chris Coons, JESUS CHRIST!!
- Trump supporters wonder why Biden has not been arrested and executed yet.
- DEGOP is a truly helpless bunch of losers.
As for Oppenheimer, I’ll not review the movie, leaving that to professionals like Andrew C. But I will say that it hit me as intended. With the full force of a work of art.
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July, 2023
Best month of the year? Quite possibly. So much stellar stuff and so much variety: I’ve found the songs of Big Thief resistable–until now: For lovers of the Wild Tchoupitoulas which, come to think of it, should be everybody. BTW, Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah is the former Christian Scott, trumpeter extraordinaire. I LOVE this stuff!: […]
Song of the Day 7/31: The Marvellettes, “The Hunter Gets Captured By the Game”
A nod to the Republican Party’s big new obsession, which is the same as its big old obsession. In 1967 the Marvellettes were still enjoying their comeback when this Smokey Robinson composition became their penultimate Top 40 hit. It reached No. 13 on the Hot 100, and No. 2 on the R&B chart. Grace Jones […]
Last Week’s Poll Results and this Week’s Poll
The most one sided poll result ever. DL readers and lurkers are not optimistic about the prospects for Israel. And for good reason: JERUSALEM, July 24 (Reuters) – Israel’s parliament on Monday ratified the first bill of a judicial overhaul sought by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after last-gasp compromise efforts collapsed and failed to ease […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #11–RD 34
‘Potential races’ is more accurate. I see 11 House races as possibly being both competitive and important. Progressive gains in these seats could well move the House in a more visionary direction and put an end to the obstructionism of the current leadership and their mindless minions. Some of these races already have challengers. Some […]
Chris Coons Piles on Hunter Biden – Suggests code of ethics for presidential family members that will somehow only ever apply to Democrats
Fucking Coons. So Bi-Partisan!! Always taking the GOP talking points and running with them. Always. Biden campaign co-chair says it ‘may be worth looking at’ disclosures for president’s family members Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., was asked whether the sons and daughters of sitting presidents should have their own code of conduct in an interview on […]
DL Open Thread July 31 2023
Pretend tough guy, Kevin McCarthy, slinked away like a…I don’t know. I guess you could say, like a pussy “You. Are. A. Pussy” “McCarthy said, ‘If you ever say something like that to me again, I’m gonna kick the shit out of you,’” a member claimed to The Daily Beast. Another member who witnessed the […]
Song of the Day 7/30: Merle Haggard, “Life in Prison”
Just something for Donald Trump to think about as he stews in his fetid juices over the wrongs he’s done. “Life in Prison” appeared on Merle Haggard’s third album, 1967’s “I’m a Lonesome Fugitive.” The title track was the first of his 38 No. 1 country hits. Haggard’s stretch at San Quentin was far from […]
DL Open Thread: Sunday, July 30, 2023
How Congress Armed The NRA–And America. Worst offender? John Dingell. Investigative reporting at its best: Long before the National Rifle Association tightened its grip on Congress, won over the Supreme Court and prescribed more guns as a solution to gun violence — before all that, Representative John D. Dingell Jr. had a plan. First jotted […]
