You may have a strident Trump "supporter" in your life. I'd encourage you to have some empathy for them. As they parrot Laura Ingram and other Fox News personalities, they aren't defending Trump at this point. They are defending themselves against the grim reality that they are gullible dummies and racist losers who have been taken in by a second rate swindler. Even the least self-aware Trumper at this point knows that Trump is indefensible. So what appears to be continuing Trump support is really nothing more that a last ditch grasp at dignity and self-respect.

In September 2009, Addison Graves "Joe" Wilson-R (SC-2nd) interrupted a speech by President Barack Obama to the joint session of Congress by shouting "You lie!" Did Chris Coons pull a big sad about that? Did he pen lachrymose Op-eds lamenting Wilson's lack of civility? Did he eschew ever working with someone as lacking in civility as Wilson? Fuck no he didn't. You know what he did instead? After shit dies down a bit, he reached out to Wilson and in Coons-style bipartisan obsequiousness, he celebrated working with Wilson on a "bipartisan, bicameral bill to help drive investment in new energy technologies"

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and U.S. Representatives Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) and Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) today introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation to establish a nonprofit foundation for the U.S. Department of Energy that would channel private-sector investments and accelerate the commercialization of innovative technologies in energy.

Coons is terrible. There is nothing Republicans can do to offend Coons, and there is nothing liberal Democrats do that doesn't offend him.

In October of 2007, Joe Biden scorched Rudy Giuliani by saying that the GOP front runner for that party's nomination was "probably the most under-qualified man since George Bush to…

As we've noted that, in terms of any practical results, our DC congressional delegation is totally AWOL on climate change. That's a shame, but I guess the temperature is fine in the DC Bubble. Out here where regular people live, we are fortunate we have people like Madinah Wilson-Anton pushing to get climate change on the agenda. Here are some highlights, but read the whole thing to see how climate action complements and builds on Wilson-Anton's social and economic justice focus.

- 100% renewable energy by 2050 - Creating a Green Bank to fund clean energy infrastructure - Funding programs that will bring community solar and house retrofitting to low-income and working-class communities - Passing a Green Amendment to make clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment a right - Strengthening the complete communities legislation to create more walkable, sustainable communities.

Hiding behind Michelle Obama's skirt in a Washington Post OpEd, Coons (being an aloof, out-of-touch, elitist ass) continues playing the role of civility police, because civility is how reprehensible elitist ghouls tolerate each other's company in board rooms and yacht clubs, and why shouldn't the proles be bound by the same rules of decorum, even when the country and the constitution is being ass-raped on a daily basis? Just pipe down, everyone. Civility and bipartisanship will save us! Meanwhile the anti-Coons movement is growing This is Esquire's Charles Pierce on why Coons' "respect the office" pretext is pure bullshit.

It is only coming out in dribs and drabs, because like medusa - nobody can look directly at it without suffering from immediate and irreversible petrification. For example, I only heard the part about special forces "not using the front door" and the "K-9, I call a dog" from watching John Oliver last night. It alone is grounds for removal from office, but for some reason the press is avoiding it as a stand alone story. It should be front page, banner headline:

The President is a Full Blown Fucking Whack-job!
