WTF, you’re not even going to mention that Jeffrey Epstein’s NYC mansion — the front door of which police were recently seen crowbarring open, and which contained a safe full of CDs with names on them — was provided to him by Leslie Wexler, the CEO of Vickie’s parent company? That L Brands (said parent company) has a…

Maybe as part of this effort to combat lies and dissembling from That Asshole and his bootlicking fascist toadies, we can stop using “climate change,” a term pushed into GOP talking points during the Bush Administration by bullshit-feeder extraordinaire Frank Luntz.

I’m always a fan of repeating that old saying, that democracy is the theory that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Or just the idea that “your own” is necessarily locked into a zero-sum game with “those other people.” 

Oh man, I forgot how much I loved Jessica Williams.

And guess who else is served by this DEMS IN DISARRAY horseshit? I might have doubts about some of Pelosi’s positions, but she’s the most powerful Dem in the country right now, and I trust that she knows what she’s doing. The choice in 2020 is not going to be between her and Justice Dems. It’s going to be between her…

right? WTF is this horseshit? Oh, McGrath is a moderate Democrat? The horror! Since when is opposing the elimination of private insurance “kinda shitty”? A decade ago Medicare-for-all and no private insurance wasn’t even the median Democrat position, and now a moderate Dem with a military background running in fucking…

You love to see it!

As John Schindler pointed out yesterday: a dude who was clever enough to build a multi-billion-dollar empire from nothing and manage to walk out of the first set of charges virtually unscathed was also smart enough to install cameras in his properties.

And that van full of ICE stormtroopers idling on the corner is just part of regular patrol operations, you betcha. 

Fair, and I’m heartened by this point: what That Asshole really wanted, and had been fighting to have for years, was a parade of tanks down Pennsylvania Ave. Instead he got two (2) tanks parked on either side of his stage.

Pentagon leaders have concerns…

Well, let’s be careful with this “burn it all down” rhetoric. Remember: That Asshole in the White House was, for many of his supporters, a deliberate brick through America’s front window. They voted for him in an  effort to destroy the political system they felt was leaving them behind.¹

I love Youtube’s “smart” algorithms. Because I use a VPN with an foreign exit, Youtube consistently shows me random celebrity/clickbait/shitty channels from that country, despite that I have never watched any of them, never watch videos in that language or about that country, and always delete them with an “I’m not…

I mean, Chernobyl had a whole scene of dozens of sweaty men working hard with they dicks out, but do you see journalists crowing about that? noOOOooo.

As I understand it the Oregon Lege needs a quorum to vote, and the GOP walkout denied them that. So it wouldn’t have mattered if every Democrat was in favor of the bill (have you actually done any research to confirm that any Democrat was going to vote against the bill?), since they couldn’t pass the bill without the…

So, in light of this:

This is, in fact, the exact logic behind voting down ballot initiatives aimed at funding public schools, and the ultimate endgame of the private-school movement: people who don’t have kids in public schools -- and that includes people with kids in private or “charter” schools -- tend to vote against measures to fund…

I’m almost looking forward to the MAGA assholes getting exactly what they voted for and it immediately plunging the US into a financial meltdown. Except 1) they’ll blame the Democrats (if they ever take power again; whether That Asshole concedes his loss in 2020 is, shockingly, an open question), 2) they’ll never…

Don’t despair. We’re months away from the first primaries. Right now the polls are virtually worthless, because none of the candidates are running on much of anything but name recognition at this point. That’s why the top two have been Biden and Sanders so far: because those are the names people remember.
