2020 is the new 2016
I’ve been looking back on DL posts from 2016 to try and figure out how we missed the big story of the summer. The big story of the summer being Trump’s strength in the upper-midwest. It was right in front of our dumb faces, and we completely missed it. When I say “we” I mean […]

Song of the Day 6/25: Old Crow Medicine Show, “Quarantined”
Old Crow Medicine Show frontman Ketch Secor released this song a month ago, when armed lamebrains were clamoring for an end to self-isolation and asserting their right to a haircut. Now that the states whose governors succumbed to pressure and reopened too soon are seeing record numbers of infections, talk of more quarantines is back […]

Only Two Massive Indoor Events Since US Pandemic Started–Both Trump Rallies. With a huge surge in cases in Arizona coupled with the utter irresponsibility of his rally, I think he’s clinched Arizona for Biden. He now only speaks to his shrinking base. This NYTimes/Siena poll spells deep doo-doo for Le Grand Orange. Prosecutor: DOJ Intervened […]
On This Day in DelawareLiberal History – June 24th, 2016
On June 23rd 2016, The United Kingdom voted to screw itself with a pointed stick. On June 24th, 2016 I wrote this: People voted with their fears, not their heads. This Guardian lede sums it up perfectly. Exchange Trump for EU Exit, and you have a chilling look at our possible future. Our fearfully isolationist, […]
Which Coons do you think will show up?
Do you trust the Coons from back in November who promised to give Mitch McConnell veto power over any Democratic legislation by promising to vote to keep the filibuster intact?
Or do you trust the Coons of today who says he actually might not vote to give McConnell veto power after all?

Hey, kids, ‘memba that story last week about the three New York cops who got “poisoned” at Shake Shack? Turns out it wasn’t just embellished, it was made up out of whole cloth. This story — from the New York Post, so you know it’s not fake news — details the real chain of events: […]

Our economy is so fucking screwed

Trump Tulsa Speech with the word “salute” replaced with “grab them by the pussy”
They make speeches. Then, I make a speech that lasted a long time. I don’t know, maybe 45 minutes, maybe longer. I don’t know, but a long time. The sun is pouring down on me, OK? But they said to me before the speech, sir, would you like to grab each cadet by the pussy, each single cadet or maybe, they’ll be in groups of two?
Would you like to grab them by the pussy? Like this, yes, like this, almost 600 times, you know what that is? 600 times. Thank God they were in twos. Because let me tell you, you do that 600 times you go home and you say, well, it’s like a workout without a weight, right? 600 times. So, I did that. Then, the incredible helicopters, brand new, gorgeous helicopters, the Apaches and the other new ones that we just bought.
I grab them by the pussy for probably an hour and a half, maybe more, but around that. Watch, if I’m off like two minutes, They’ll say, he exaggerated. It was only an hour and twenty five minutes. He exaggerated, he lied, he lied. He’s a liar. These people are sick, the fake news. So then, so then, I finish grabbing them by the pussy my final pussy grab, I said, thank goodness.

The Black Lives Matter protests have a new theme song, thanks to Johnniqua Charles.

He posted to social media with the note, […]
