DL Open Thread: Monday, April 5, 2021
Spring at last, Spring at last, thank God Almighty…its Spring at last. In today’s OpenThread:
Chauvin is guilty as fuck, but will it matter? Florida is a literal shit hole. Madison Cawthorn is just one of many Republicans voting no on stimulus, but pretending to be stimulus hero in their districts. Unopened Super Mario Bros. game from 1986 sells for $660,000. Are we entering a ‘fourth wave’ of the pandemic? But first, lost of news about America’s least favorite near monopoly.

It’s one thing to share a country with dead-end losers who have turned a political party into a death cult. It’s something else entirely when that death cult insists on killing others. Their new obsession — resisting the idea of “vaccine passports,” because their freedom to infect others is more important than the right of […]
Tucker Carlson uncovers the anti-White Power, pro-science truths behind Biden’s nefarious infrastructure plan
Economists and Americans love it, but Carlson urges Fox viewers to not be deceived. Biden’s infrastructure plan is actually pro-science, anti-white supremacy wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“First and most obviously, is this really about infrastructure — bridges, roads, airports, things we can actually use — or is it yet another weird climate scheme-slash-power grab-slash-race-based redistribution plan,” the Fox host asked. “What exactly is this?”
Dear Republicans: This Is Why We Don’t Respect You
I stumbled across a headline today that quoted some random conservative complaining that “maybe if we canceled sports, then they’d respect us.” I hear this all the time: The reason Republicans pursue the culture wars with such fervor is that liberals treat them with disrespect. And we do. And this formulation pretends that the supposed […]
Song of the Day 4/3: Little Richard, “I Saw Her Standing There”
The only difficulty in picking a theme song for Matt Gaetz is that rock ‘n’ roll, especially the early stuff, is full of songs that traffic in misogyny and ephebophilia, often at the same time. But when a song starts out, “She was just 17,” you know you’re in Matt Gaetz territory. Yes, it’s a […]

Alabama Refuses To Lift Yoga Ban. The Reason? Hindu Indoctrination. Having taken acid gives me even more appreciation for a story like this. Hindu indoctrination is a real thing. You start with a few ommmm chants, and you end up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQrQjNNZCAo Next thing you know, the entire Alabama congressional delegation is Black. MLB Moves […]
Song of the Day 4/2: Simon and Garfunkel, “Keep the Customer Satisfied”
Paul Simon has joined the parade of aging songwriters peddling their catalogs for big bucks, selling off his entire output — over 400 songs from both Simon and Garfunkel and his solo career — to Sony for an undisclosed sum that certainly reached nine figures. This song from “Bridge Over Troubled Water” is an upbeat […]

Plant That Screwed Up Vaccine Got Huge Grant From Operation Warp Speed. Despite a record of previous mix-ups and violations. Maybe this was part of the reason for the big contract? At the time of the award, that office was led by Assistant Secretary Robert Kadlec. The Post previously reported that before joining the Trump […]
McConnell Kneecaps Coons’ Super Secret BiPartisan Caucus Before it Can Pretend to Be a Player in the Infrastructure Bill
Odd strategy.
McConnell says no republicans will support Biden infrastructure plan, even before Collins, Coons and Murkowski could do their usual posturing and preening.
Coons’ Prayer Breakfast Russian Spy Contact Sentenced
Filed under: Tango, It Takes 2
Butina sentence to 18 months, but Coons is still free as a bird.
Song of the Day 4/1: The Bee Gees, “I Started a Joke”
The joke certainly was on Robin Gibb — he had the best voice in the group but older brother Barry had the good looks, and their conflicting ideas about who should be the front man led to years of squabbles and bad feelings. “Massachusetts” was Robin’s breakout hit, but “I Started a Joke” was his […]
DL Open Thread Thursday, April 1, 2021
Joe Biden has proposed a $2 trillion infrastructure plan. Vox has a good explainer outlining what it does and how Democrats hope to pass it. Politico notes it has set off what might become the largest lobbying effort in memory. Schadenfreude meters around the nation redlined yesterday when the New York Times revealed that showboating […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 1, 2021
Topics For The General Assembly Easter Break: The House Kop Kabal Must End. Franklin Cooke Must Be Defeated. The Three (Or Four) State Reps (And One Governor) Who Must Be Lobbied Heavily On Minimum Wage. Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. There’s only one big story today. The Senate will try (and, I think, succeed) to […]
