Just a hunch, but I predict he’ll go with Lagoa, the Cuban from Florida. He’ll want to sew up Florida so he can focus on the Midwest, and she apparently isn’t as much of a religious whack job as Barrett. Plus, her last appointment was approved by a bunch of Dems so it would look hypocritical for them to turn on her now. Not that the R’s care about…[Read more]

Guarantee if the shoe was on the other foot the Republicans would stop at nothng to kill the nomination. Shut down the government. Launch an impeachment. Nothing would be off the table. The Democrats are such wusses. Schumer will write a strongly worded letter, throw his hands up, denounce the R’s in front of the camera, and then slink away…[Read more]

@Ohio Barbarian

A VD just posted on my FB wall that Dems need to take Repukes to the woodshed. LOL Would be funny except there was no sarcasm intended. Dems simply don’t get that you can’t fight a forest fire with a broken hose, and the likes of Schumer and Pelosi never even get that far. They just run from the flames.

I am waiting for Schumer’s strongly worded letter. LOL

So what did the Dems do when Mitch blocked Obama’s nominee many months before the election? They feigned outrage for a couple of days and then slunk away to go sit in a corner like a dog who knows no more treats are coming his way. No fight. Nary a mention during the campaign. They apparently thought Hillary would win and the problem would be…[Read more]

@David the Gnome

Thank you. That response deserves its own thread and should be viral on every social media platform. You nailed it. Every day my FB wall is cluttered with appeals from the likes of Schumer and Pelosi to give give give lest the dastardly Republicans continue to pillage and destroy the nation. What a fucking joke. Pot meet kettle.

Nor does she have any  interest in any further help for the unemployed. She’s a useless piece of shit.

I have roots in a small town not far from Scranton. My dad grew up the son of a coal miner. However, he worked his way through Penn State, earned an engineering degree, did a stint in the Navy during WWII, used the GI Bill to earn a Masters from NYU, and eventually moved to a cushy suburb in So Cal near the beach. He never looked back. Though he…[Read more]

So, in 2016, how hard did the Democrats push back against the Repukes’ refusal to advance Garland’s nomination? Oh, that’s right. They didn’t. As horrible and hypocritical as the R’s are, you have to hand it to them. They never back down, and they get what they want. Dems are masters at keeping their powder dry for some unforeseen future event…[Read more]

Would anyone expect anything less? He and Mitch graduated with BS Degrees in Hypocrisy Summa Cum Laude  from the University of Republican Weasels.

Vichy Dems have no one to blame but themselves for foisting terrible candidates on the voting public. Not progressives fault they ran Hillary. Not progressives fault they’re running Biden. If Mitch can hold the R’s together, he can cram through anyone he wants, and that person is likely to be a complete asshole as opposed to an asshole lite a…[Read more]

What’s so hard about wearing a mask and keeping a respectful distance to the extent possible? We’ve been told what we need to do for the time being to get this thing under control. Events like Sturgis and Trump rallies are not helpful.

I’d take it more seriously if they mandated age appropriate actresses to play opposite aging men, intelligent and thought proving scripts that don’t insult the audience’s intelligence, comedies that are actually funny, actors and crew hired for their ability rather than their connections….I could go on, but all of that is, of course, less likely…[Read more]

We’ve been told wearing a mask and practicing social distancing are the best ways for now to combat this thing. Yet, we see people flagrantly disregarding this advice and numbers continuing to rise as a result. While I have nothing but sympathy for the early victims of this who were caught completely unaware, I have to question the intelligence…[Read more]

I mostly remember that the neocons needed a “new Pearl Harbor” to justify their misadventures in the Middle East, most notably Iraq. On 9/11, their dream came true.

Friend in western Nebraska reported 102 over the weekend and snow yesterday. Her garden is done. Crops are lost. 114 in my town Saturday. Never that hot before.

The simple fact is many millions in this country cannot afford to get sick. Illness means big doctor and pharmacy bills at the very least. It also means time off from work, which may not be compensated since paid sick leave is often doled out sparingly if it exists at all. Those with insurance still face expensive  premiums, copays, and…[Read more]

@Cold Mountain Trail

The owner claims the camera has been there for years. I think she became pissed when she found out what happened since infractions of the law rest on her shoulders. She may well have released the footage to Fox. It still doesn’t excuse Pelosi for not following the law. Nor does it excuse the stylist who, needing the money,…[Read more]

Apparently, the owner didn’t know that one of the stylists who pays for a chair there allowed Pelosi in. No doubt the stylist knew the salon was closed, but given who Pelosi is, didn’t want to say “no.” No one set her up, and it’s ridiculous for her to say so. Her assistant called to set up the appointment. She showed up. was photographed in the…[Read more]

Husband works as a government contractor. He’s been working at home since March. Boss wants him back in the office on a military base. Calls Covid “the flu.” Protocol is mask OR 6 foot separation. Not both. Meetings are taking place in small conference rooms with up to a dozen people where no protocols are followed. No stats at all about cases on…[Read more]
