It seems Jim Clyburn knew what he was doing after all. When the South Carolina Congressman endorsed Joe Biden just before the South Carolina primary and Biden carried the state,…

In today's seulement international open thread, what is Ramadan, anyway? Japan is dumping tons of Fukushima wastewater Into the sea. Sounds like a plan. Covid is real, y'all. India overtakes Brazil to become the second-worst hit country as Covid cases soar. Heck of a Job Johnson - Brexit fallout, violent riots have broken out in Northern Ireland. Kiwis getting shit right - New Zealand is now requiring banks to disclose climate risks when making loans. But first... Biden to announce withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by September 11. Its weird symbolism, but our entire war in Afghanistan has been nothing but weird symbolism.

This "patriotsfordelaware.com" site reads like typical GOP dumbassery with all the flags and calls to empty flag worship.  But there is something troubling going on here.  The focus appears to…

Why are Republicans suckers for every half-witted conspiracy theory ever concocted? Consider the latest obsession of Tucker Carlson, poster boy for mediocre white dudes, the so-called Great Replacement theory. It…

The news is tiring again today, but some light breaks through and change is possible as Maryland repealed the state’s police bill of rights. Also, on this date in 1743 Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States (1801-09), was born in Albemarle County, Virginia. All drunk on the Enlightenment, he wrote "all men are created equal". Of course he meant American born white men of property were equal to Brittish born white men of property, but we commoners had our own interpretation. And a fellow commoner named Abe Lincoln worked to lock in the more expansive meaning, so Happy Birthday Thomas, you red-headed devil!

Very lackluster open thread this morning. All the more room for you to thread away. But first.... colonialism and slavery are still super popular in the the USA. How else can you explain the way we train our cops?

We all know that Matt Gaetz like to fuck 17-year-olds, but did you know that his real job is fucking the public? It seems the sex scandal is somehow related…

The prosecuting attorneys are doing a fine job, and don't need any help from me, but if I was on the prosecution team, this is how the rest of the trial would go down.

[Sound of a gavel]

Judge: Let's continue.

ME: Your honor, can we let the jury take five while I ask you and the defense team a quick question?

Judge: This is highly unusual, but I'll allow it. But be careful McCoy.

[Bailiffs remove the jury.]

ME: Ha. Good 'Law and Order' reference, judge. Anyway... Chauvin's defense attorney, Mr. Nelson is doing a shit job. All he seems to have is this idea that George Floyd died of a drug induced heart attack and not a 9 minute to knee to the throat as MANY experts have now testified.

Judge: Please get to your point.

ME: My point is that we can wrap this up right quit if I put my knee on Mr. Nelson's neck for 9 minutes. If he lives - he is right and Chauvin is innocent. If he dies, then Chauvin killed Floyd and he is guilty as fuck.

Judge: I'm going to admonish you not to use profanity in my courtroom, but [turning to Nelson] he has a point Mr. Nelson. Your client is guilty as fuck. This may be the Hail Mary pass you need to win this thing.

NELSON: No thanks, your honor. We'll continue to pray that one of the jurors is a Trumper and is going to try some jury nullification or something.

Judge: Ok then. Bring the jury in and let's try and get out of here by five tonight.
