Trump Calls Georgia Senate Races ‘Illegal And Invalid’. Maybe he’s been looking at the campaign polling. The Rethuglican circular firing squad, it’s a beautiful thing. Happy New Year, Mike Pence. RWNJ’s want him in prison. He’s gonna have to declare Biden the President-Elect, and his plan to skip town right after said declaration has been […]
Has Biden Botched Trump’s Tantrum?
Biden has his reasons for appearing aloof and not much of a fighter in the face of Trump’s ongoing attacks on American democracy. Ceding the field to Republicans and waiting for them to stumble over their own idiocy is a favorite strategy of DC-based dems like Biden.
The track record of that strategy isn’t mixed. It sucks.
On January 6th Trump is encouraging his empty-headed followers to protest in support of Trump’s ongoing, anti-American attempts to overturn the election results. Biden should not let the day pass without landing some haymakers on Trump.
We have a name for people like Trump who come in second in elections – losers
If he thinks he can beat me, he should run for the Republicans nomination. If Republicans are stupid enough to nominate him – I’ll beat his ass agin.
Trump is a loser and a complete failure.
Trump keeps failing because his arguments are as flimsy and weak as the flimsy 2 miles of border wall he built.
The war Trump is trying to start is rhetorical (for now). It is well past time for Biden to join the battle.
Song of the Day 1/1: Ferko String Band, “Oh, Dem Golden Slippers”
With luck, the cancellation of the Mummers Parade this year should forestall yet another blackface incident, but let’s face it — mummery’s roots are intertwined with minstrelsy’s, and not everybody is OK with that. Ferko String Band found that out in 2013 when the went with the theme “Bringin’ Back the Minstrel Days.” What they […]

Let’s be honest. The New Year really doesn’t begin until January 20. Until then, we just have to sweat out whatever remaining blue ruin Trump can inflict. Why Nursing Homes Failed During Pandemic. They sought, and then took advantage of, lax enforcement. BTW, here’s another major scam routinely used by the chains. Memo to current […]
Top Songs of the Day for 2020
I’m not a big fan of year-end lists, but everybody else seems to like them. Yossarian was right: If everybody else feels that way, then I’d certainly be a damned fool to feel any other way, wouldn’t I? These are the 2020 Songs of the Day that got the most hits: John Prine, “That’s How […]
Song of the Day 12/31: Dougie MacLean, “Old Lang Syne”
I imagine lots of people will ignore the risks to hold New Year’s Eve parties, though I doubt they’ll be as big or raucous as usual. But no matter how people celebrate the turning of the calendar, it’s quite likely they’ll mark the moment by singing, or at least listening to, the song most of […]

‘No Realistic Path’…to $2000 relief checks. There is, of course, a path. Requires a Democratic Senate, though. Sen. Perdue Made His Bones By Outsourcing Work To China. Now claims he wants to end our ‘reliance on China’. These two senators are so fucking corrupt, but the D’s suck at nailing them on this stuff. Welcome […]
Song of the Day 12/30: Tony Rice, “Church Street Blues”
The deadly year of 2020 claimed yet another notable musician on Christmas Day when influential bluegrass guitarist Tony Rice died, age 69, at his North Carolina home — according to longtime friend and collaborator Ricky Skaggs, while he was making his morning coffee. Rice’s impeccable flat-picking influenced virtually every bluegrass flat-picker since his days with […]

Chief Judge To Step Down From Chancery Court. Andre Bouchard. One must ask the obvious question: Did he step down thinking that ‘I don’t need this shit’ from the relentless (4 years and counting) disinformation campaign of Philip Shawe and the ‘Citizens For A Pro-Business Delaware’? Chris Kenny has a long way to go before […]
Coons Says Super Secret BiPartisan Senate Caucus Going to Spring into Action in Three Weeks – Gets Quizzical Looks from Anchors
On CBS this morning Coons just said that his Super Secret BiPartisan Senate Caucus is keeping a low profile and not challenging MCConnell – BUT will come out swinging when Biden take over. Even the holiday temps staffing CBS This morning were not having it.
Jericka Duncan: Two attemps to raise the stiumuf failed in the senate. You are know for having good relationships with Republicans what are they thinking, and is this likely to pass the Senate?
Coons: The Senate will fail to raise the stimulus payments. But in three weeks we’ll “reset” and give Bipartisan Caucus a chance to come out of hiding. Especially if we win Georgia run offs. We’ll be cooperating an compromising our mother-fucking asses off. [paraphrase]
David Begnaud: Huh? How is this (bipartisan harmony and cooperation) all of a sudden going to work when Bidebn takes over? [paraphrase]
Coons: It’s going to be very difficult. [actual quote]

However you felt about them at the time, the new documentary “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” on HBO takes viewers on a roller-coaster ride tracking the course of their career.

Biden (Finally) Calls Out Trump Appointees For Obstructing Transition. Calls them irresponsible. House Hands Trump Two FU’s. Overrides veto of defense bill. Approves $2000 stimulus checks. He’s a lame duck, alright. Is this why he vetoed the defense bill in the first place? Operation Warp Speed=Operation Snail’s Pace. Man, I thought they were right on […]
