Throughout all the recent legislative battles about economic and stimulus relief to combat Covid-19, Republicans have made one non-negotiable demand: protections for businesses against Covid liabilities and related lawsuits. Given this centrality, and it’s troubling implications, what does this actually mean? Regrettably, I see little to no explanation in public reporting (or from Democrats generally). So,…

The Daily Bucket–Forgive My Trespasses
For starters, this “No Trespassing” sign isn’t on private property. It’s on Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation Lands that are open to the public as the Rock Creek Greenway, west of Portland Oregon. Fortunately there are many anglers who are simply crazed about catching fish and who would wade through Hell fire for a chance at a 7-lb….
Side Effects
With the ever-climbing coronavirus death rate, families reliant on technology to say goodbye to loved ones, and most of America shopping in disguise, yesterday was hard for me. I spent my formative teen years in southeast Washington, D.C. My neighbors across the street, cattycorner as my great-granny would say, were tight-knit. They were the epitome of…

WaPo asks every GOP member of Congress which reality they inhabit
We know for sure that Mo Brooks lives in the Phantom Zone, or is it on Bizarro World. The Post is asking every Republican member of Congress the same three questions today. We will report back their answers. The questions are: pic.twitter.com/P1ptrZU4cr — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) December 3, 2020 Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has been…
The 5th of 7: Don't Push Me.
It’s simple really. How did COVID-19 become a global epidemic in a few weeks? How do we stop it spreading? It’s really fucking simple. I have had to watch my partner suffer from exhaustion for months and what may develop into PTSD with time, how much longer does she have to watch people die, then…
This young lady's lack of empathy explains the Right-Wing well
A friend sent me the following post. One can only believe what she is saying if we discount the conditions of a large swath of Americans. Sadly, few will see her severe lack of empathy. A severe lack of empathy See full episodes here. Just the setup of this woman’s first few sentences shows how…
Hilarious video helps Rudy Guiliani's 'star' witness go viral for all the wrong reasons
Trying to pick the lowest point of Rudy Guiliani’s election hearing in Michigan is a challenge. There was the racist woman who said we need voter ID because “all Chinese look alike” (which, using her logic, would negate the need for an ID) There was Giuliani yelling at a Republican during his bodily functions There was the steady…
2020 one of the 3 warmest years on record despite a La Niña typically producing lower temperatures.
We will remember 2020 as the good old days as the climate continues to overheat due to our failure to rein in heat-trapping fossil fuel emissions. Heck, this year might even be the coolest we will experience for an unknowable number of Millenium. We have entered perilous times, and physics will not relent or show mercy…
previewing Trump's Saturday Nuremberg Rally
A loser’s victory rally, what a message. In his Valdosta, Georgia speech on Saturday Trump will essentially repeat his 46 minute Facebook rant from Wednesday with a few local references and additional stupid ad libs. Save that hour for more productive activities that don’t involve super-spreading. They’re “not dumb in Georgia” but some there are willing to…
Republican Voter Fraud in Georgia – Republican projection down the line
This will be short because the story (I am hoping very much) will be evolving throughout the day and the next week. Josh Marshall at Talking Points memo points to blatant Republican voter fraud on the Georgia-Florida border (probably beyond). The Republican party in Florida is encouraging people in Florida to re-register in Georgia at…
Trump's penultimate regulatory roll-back: no more emotional support peacocks on planes
Soon, you will no longer be able to bring your emotional-support peacock on an airplane. U.S. tightens definition of service animals to only dogs. The masks are always a pain in the ass anyway. The ban on pot-bellied pigs won’t stop Trump from going to his rally in Valdosta GA on Saturday at 7pm ET. Airlines…
still dodging a bullet: the near death experience of Trumpist calls for martial law
We were closer than one thinks to what can still happen without stronger Congressional action, namely an anti-democratic authoritarian regime that resembles a republic in name only. There were seven new Trump election lawsuits filed today. ‘Temporarily Suspend the Constitution’ and Impose Martial Law There was a great piece by Susan Rice in NYT yesterday about…

Gangsters hoarding vaccines. COVID-19 patients in US hospitals surpasses 100,000 for the first time
COVID-19 patients in American hospitals has surpassed 100,000 for the first time as supply networks will be attacked by gangsters hijacking supplies, and there will inevitably be the problems of guaranteed purity and authenticity.

The best thing to come out of Trump's latest lie-fest? Lots of delicious new memes
Donald Trump gave what he described as an “important” speech today. Actually, it was a bunch of hoary old lies he wanted to regurgitate into the yawning mouths of his deluded, baby-bird followers — all of whom are afraid of being kicked out of the nest to face a world where the nasty Joe Biden is…

FOX NEWS is SHOCKED that Biden's Press Team Has Experience in the Press
Among the atrocities that Donald Trump visited upon the presidency is his utter disregard for institutional knowledge and professional expertise. His record of executive appointments is riddled with incompetents, some of whom never served a day in the field for which they were given managerial authority by Trump. Trump himself is just such an amateur…
