Song of the Day 8/13: Nena, “99 Luftballons”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, International by on August 13, 2022 3 Comments

Guest post by Nathan Arizona A lot of sabers are rattling these days, except nobody uses sabers anymore. The threat from Russia in the Ukraine and maybe China in the Pacific is all about the nukes. It’s a familiar situation, and bands in the ‘80s were really feeling it. Detente with the Soviet Union was […]

If you are a “politician” or do anything related to “politics” you have total criminal immunity because enforcing laws against you is “politicizing” the situation which is far worse than any crime.

WELL, If you are a REPUBLICAN “politician” or do anything related to “politics” you have total criminal immunity because blanket politicizing immunity does not seem to extend to Democrats.

“If the DOJ can do this to Trump just think what…

“If the DOJ can do this to Trump just think what…

…they could do to any of us who evades taxes, attempts to undermine an election, uses state resources to enrich ourselves or steals top secret defense documents…!?” When you think of all the stupid, nonsensical bullshit that Trump followers have internalized, the idea that Trump is some hero of the working class is perhaps the most […]

Song of the Day 8/12: The Seekers, “I’ll Never Find Another You”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 12, 2022 2 Comments

A great Australian singer died last week, but it wasn’t Olivia Newton-John. Few Americans recognized the name Judith Durham, but many more would recognize the voice that propelled this 1964 folk-pop single to No. 4 on the US Hot 100 in 1965, towards the end of the Great Folk Music Scare. The classically trained Durham […]

Trump Went–Nuclear?  Did he take classified information pertaining to nuclear weapons, either ours or from foreign countries from the White House?  Could be why the search warrant was granted: Classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items FBI agents sought in a search of former president Donald Trump’s Florida residence on Monday, according […]

Trump’s Lawyers Have Until 3:00 Today to “Put up or Shut Up”

Filed in National by on August 12, 2022 7 Comments

Knowing how they operate, I suspect they will neither “put up” nor “shut up’.  But good for Garland  calling the dumb-fuck’s noisy bluff: Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday that the Department of Justice filed a motion to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to the search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property. CNN’s […]

Song of the Day 8/11: Olivia Newton-John, “If Not For You”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 11, 2022 8 Comments

I don’t mean to speak ill of the dead. Olivia Newton-John seemed to be a nice person, devoting time, money and energy to various worthy charities, never being involved in any controversy other than a court battle that helped limit the predatory contracts record companies once forced artists to sign. But I’d be lying by […]

Trump Schadenfreude: He could be prosecuted under a statute that he made law–in order to go after Hillary Clinton: If Trump is found to have violated federal law in removing and retaining classified documents without authorization, he could be convicted of a felony punishable by five years in prison. And that conviction would be a […]

A Tale Of Two Campaigns:  Becca Cotto’s And Deb Heffernan’s

This is a tale of two campaigns.  It is a tale of a grassroots campaign vs. the worst the Delaware way has to offer.  Today’s the perfect day to tell this tale because it illustrates the stark differences between the two campaigns.  The race is for the 6th Representative District Democratic nomination between incumbent Deb […]

Song of the Day 8/10: Bananarama, “Cruel Summer”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on August 10, 2022 1 Comment

Now Republicans think it’s a banana republic? Gee, I thought that happened when they all fell in line behind a known criminal. Cruel summer, ain’t it, bitches? This song became a No. 9 hit in the US in 1984 when it was included in the hit movie “Karate Kid.” That was a year after it […]

Asked and Answered

Filed in National by on August 10, 2022 10 Comments

This tweet nails something I’ve been pondering:

The strangest thing about this epoch of American history will always be that tens of millions of grown ups decided to form a cult like devotion to, of all available people, Donald Trump.

The response from a Trumper is genuinely helpful:

It really isn’t about Trump. It could be any republican who had a backbone who would simply stand up against you libs. He’s doing it. He not perfect, but he’s a fighter…and we loved fighters.

In short, we’d have formed a cult around any crazy-ass dumbfuck who nursed our petty grievances and validated our racial hatreds.

Delaware Liberal’s Endorsements For The Primary Elections

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on August 10, 2022 36 Comments

We proudly endorse this group of Democratic candidates.  In addition to being well-qualified, these candidates have exhibited empathy, a trait sorely lacking, especially among those in House leadership.  Our interactions with them have convinced us that they are truly good people who are running for the right reasons. We strongly encourage you to support them […]

I got nothing. While you and I backfill in the comments throughout the day, read:

ALSO TOO, IF THE FBI SAYS THEY FOUND ANYTHING THEY’RE MAKING IT UP, AND IF THEY THEN PRODUCE IT THEY PLANTED IT

Ah yes, the good ‘ol the decedent slipped and fell onto the knife my client was holding, um, a few times, defense:

Real America’s Voice host Karyn Turk wondered if the FBI had “planted” evidence.
“Nobody observed it,” Bobb confirmed. “No, there wasn’t. To your point, this was a completely unnecessary power flex. It was a weird flex. It’s quite honestly sad to see what they have done to our country.”

“No, there is no security that something wasn’t planted,” she added. “I’m not saying that’s what they did.”

 

She’s just saying it would be irresponsible not to speculate. I mean it’s out there.

This is the way a lawyer talks when her client is in a world of hurt.
