Song of the Day 8/10: Graham Parker and the Rumour, “Devil’s Sidewalk”
This isn’t the same song as Neil Young’s composition that triggered his lawsuit against the Trump campaign — it was written 20 years earlier and in my humble opinion is a much better tune. It appeared on Parker’s 1981 LP “The Up Escalator,” the follow-up to his most successful album “Squeezing Out Sparks.” The album […]

The Clusterbleep Caused By Trump’s ‘Executive Orders’. Unworkable, confusing, and, as usual, not even thought-out. I’m sure that seniors will catch on quickly when they understand that the plan could hurt Social Security and Medicare. Not to mention, his ‘orders’ are ‘absurdly unconstitutional’.

Song of the Day 8/9: Neil Young, “Devil’s Sidewalk”
You’ve heard about Neil Young’s lawsuit against the Trump campaign over its use of two of Young’s songs at campaign events. Naturally, one of the tunes was “Rockin’ in the Free World,” the “Free World” being the preferred fascist/Republican term for the global American Empire. The other was much less familiar — “Devil’s Sidewalk” from […]

Trump Signs Buncha Executive Orders On Economic Relief. They don’t do what he says they’re gonna do, they will once again force states to siphon money from other programs and, oh, yes, nobody knows if he has the authority to do what he did. Dana Milbank was right. It only gets worse. Every single day. […]
The sickeningly inevitable media war on Biden’s VP pick.
Whoever he picks, the right wing media will go berserk, and the so-called objective media will “cover” that berzerk-itude by tsk-tsking Biden for making such a [insert adjective here: a) banal b) controversial] pick.
It is as nauseating as it is predictable. I only hope that Team Biden is not dumb enough to try and short-circuit the sickeningly inevitable media war by making a “safe” choice. There is no safe choice. Just pick the best person.

The Dysfunctional Relationship Between Trump And Intelligence Agencies. A must-read on how Trump’s biases have led to changes in intelligence reports–mustn’t make him angry. DNI finally comes out and says it–Russia is working to reelect Trump. Sure looks like Russia has fed disinformation to Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley, as well as, who else, […]
Coons Agrees W/ Fox News “Both Sides” to blame for Relief Impasse
Jesus Fucking Christ, Coons is the absolute worst.
In his recent appearance on Fox News Coons could not resist undermining the Dem’s negotiating position:
Bret Baier:[1:38] If you are sitting at home someplace, and this is running out or has run out, aren’t you saying ‘gosh, Washington on both sides really stinks’?
Coons: [2:38] Brett, you’re right many people will say ‘a pox on both your houses’.
Bye Bye Susan Collins, you will not be missed
Coons’ besty and partner in trying to keep the filibuster is likely headed for the ash heap of history. Senate @QuinnipiacPoll #MESen: Gideon (D) 47% (+4) Collins (R-inc) 43% #SCSen: Graham (R-inc) 44% Harrison (D) 44% #KYSen: McConnell (R-inc) 49% (+5) McGrath (D) 44%

Song of the Day 8/7: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “The Waiting”
Anything can happen, 2016, blah blah blah…what bullshit. At least 52% of the voting populace impatiently awaits the chance to vote against Trump. And the waiting is the hardest part. The song was the first single from Petty’s 1981 LP “Hard Promises.” It reached only No. 19 on the Hot 100, but hit No. 1 […]
Coons Mailer Makes Zero Sense
Hey Coons,
You “fought to block” Trump by “working to unify Democrats and Republicans”.
Guess what? I fought to make rainbows into candy by working to unify the letters P & Q!!
I mean christ! You actually paid someone to come up with this jarringly nonsensical word salad? Please name ONE Republicans who worked with you to “block Trump’s dangerous agenda”…. ONE fucking name…. and not someone who quit the Senate or died.

ST. LOUIS — Cori Bush, a progressive activist and a leader of the swelling protest movement for racial justice, toppled Representative William Lacy Clay Jr. of Missouri in a Democratic primary on Tuesday, notching the latest in a stunning string of upsets against the party establishment.
Ms. Bush, 44, had captured nearly 49 percent of the vote by late Tuesday evening compared with 45.5 percent for Mr. Clay, according to The Associated Press. She had tried and failed to unseat Mr. Clay in 2018, but this year rode a surge in support for more liberal, confrontational politics within the Democratic Party amid the coronavirus pandemic and the national outcry over festering racial inequities.
