Song of the Day 7/6: Cast of “Hamilton” featuring Phillipa Soo, with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots, “Helpless”
I don’t know what the weekend was like for the rest of you shut-ins — was it just my neighborhood, or did it sound like the civil war had broken out on the night of July 4? — but at my house we celebrated the Founding Father without a father by watching the filmed version […]

Coons has the answer to Coronavirus; tinkering with the Tax Code. I shit you not
This shows Coons’ the deeply diseased mindset. What the country needs now, above all else, is a bipartisan plan to tinker with the tax code to increase the income tax deduction for charitable giving up to $4,000. So if you donate $4,000 to your Church or some social welfare organization like the NRA, you can knock that $4,000 off the top of your income. Tax Breaks! That’s the bold leadership America is clamoring for.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Coons plan for fighting coronavirus. Un-fucking-believable.
Should Biden “Debate” Trump?
There are no persuadable voters. There will be no meaningful unpacking of issues. There will only be Trump putting on his Trump show for his fans. What does Biden get out of being prop in the Trump show? How do you even debate someone makes up “facts” on the spur of the moment? I say Biden should pass on taking part in this sham.
What do you think? Jonathan Russo writing at TPM thinks Trump has set up a losing dynamic for himself.
However, one thing is certain. Trump has painted himself into a deep corner when it comes to the public’s expectations about Biden’s performance.
His mocking descriptions of Biden started months ago with relentless “sleepy Joe” tweets. Then they devolved to, “I honestly don’t think he knows what office he is running for.” Finally, Trump gave some vague warnings that Biden was going to be put in a “home while super left radical crazies run the country.” Trump’s key spokespeople regularly attack Biden’s mental acuity.

Lefty, Come Home
When Lefty says “There isn’t much difference between Democrats and Republicans” and points to cowards and bought and paid for corporate shills like BHL, Coons and Carney as evidenced, he has a point. For “Dems” like BHL, Coons and Carney taxing rich people and corporation is always the problem and austerity is always the solution.
Our party has a history of promoting corporate shills and cowards to leadership positions. We stopped being the people’s party and became the Oligarch’s Party under Bill Clinton. That’s a fact.
But is is also a fact that the party is changing. There is a new generation of leadership on the come up. It is a generation leadership that gets it.

AIPAC Spins off PAC for the Explicit Purpose of Supporting Coons
Apparently Benjamin Netanyahu is worried about his buddy Coons.
Two former top AIPAC staffers are helming a new political action committee that will steer donations to Chris Coons and a handful of other Likud Party lackeys.
Song of the Day 7/4: Madisen Hallberg and Emmanuel Henreid, “The Star-Spangled Banner”
I’m no fan of “The Star-Spangled Banner” — IMHO the national anthem should be “America the Beautiful” as sung by Ray Charles — but this rendition is special. Madisen Hallberg, a graduate student at Portland State University, was recording the song for an online graduation ceremony, when passing professional singer Emmanuel Henreid heard her and […]
