The usual Cruz hypocrisy, the pot calling the kettle violent. Because the final term of Ted Cruz will feature more nonsense serving corporate energy interests among other contradictions. He’s flailing about today with the latest nominees for DoJ, among other fake outrage. It’s an old tactic, because Cruz loves stirring...
Poop
Name’s Red. Red Woodman, Major Mammal Crimes Detective. This is supposed to be my last day on the job is I can make it through. Cough. They’ve assigned me a kid nick-named “Lucky” I’m supposed to train to take my place. I’m looking through his resume. He’d flunked out of...
This actually started a couple of months ago in my fevered Black Irish mind. At the time, I was writing yet another of my seeming endless sarcastic, caustic articles about His Lowness, and just by happenstance, I took the title of a rather famous song. To be perfectly honest, that...
A backyard pond turns oily. A DIY oil test confirms it’s more than iron oxide, I found tiny broken eggs and cat-sized poop nearby (not pictured). I suspect coon. I found knocked over plants in another pond. I put rounded rocks into abandoned birds’ nests and set them on the...
Marine props, naturalized citizen props, and tonight it featured a guy charged with insider trading, who also claims that Trump, unlike Bill Clinton, is “the first Black president”. The GOP keeps thinking that if they refer to the pandemic in the past tense, that 180,000 deaths won’t matter as much. ...
These are gobsmacking, jaw-dropping numbers, and they tend to make me think Jim Jones and David Koresh were underachievers. Wow. I mean, WOW. These people are kookaburra cray-cray devotees of Cocoa Puffs. CBS News: Republicans see an America — to borrow Ronald Reagan’s famous test — better off today than it was four...
I’m just an old race horse out to pasture, pawing the ground when the race track bugle sounds. I still read the local public notices about developments, reflecting back on 40 years of environmental challenges, wishing someone was doing some more challenging. And then something happened. I am terrible at this...
Multiple robins have occupied my yard for months now. Somehow their presence seemed to make the Spring come a few days sooner. I cannot tell the boys from the girls. I thought the female were supposed to be drab, but they all look alike to me. They seemed more like...
AG Barr is trying to blame outside agitators for violence related to George Floyd protests. Barr says “ANTIFA-like” actions and radical actors are involved. The problem especially in the Twin Cities when violence has emerged, now seems to involve RW agitation, seeking anti-government civic unrest. There are many other voices, not...
Same poop different day, except with a large prop. “Look, I am greeted with a hostile press, the likes of which no president has ever seen,” said Trump. “The closest will be that gentleman up there,” gesturing to the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. “They always say nobody...
This video of professional ventriloquist Donald Trump doing that thing where he talks out of his rectum and makes it look like it’s coming from his mouth costars Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, Melania Trump, Shinzo Abe, Buzz Aldrin, Emmanuel Macron, Queen Elizabeth II, Nancy...
Louis Gohmert, America’s stupidest Congressman (which, given the competition, is saying something!) is single-handedly holding up the House from sending the COVID-19 relief package to the Senate. No doubt he’s doing it at Moscow Mitch’s behest, so Mitch doesn’t have to stall it there on his own. But his actions...
For the next few days, I’m going to apply the Barron Trump standard to anything conservatives say about Greta Thunberg, the young climate change activist who was just named Time magazine’s Person of the Year. Katie Pavlich says Greta Thunberg wouldn't be as famous if she was a climate change...
Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that...
Well, the walls are closing in on Der Gropinfuror at long last. Which will put the Pampers President under even more pressure. But if there’s one thing that can be said about Trump, it’s that he is grace under pressure. By that I mean that he says grace, and then...
You know, it’s one thing for a politician to lack common sense, Lord knows that happens occasionally, but when they lack political sense, that’s like feasting on grapes at a Borgia family banquet in your honor. But these days, the House GOP seems to be having a wee problem closing with...
* Spoiler Alert * I will not be watching Chuckles' big interview with Omarosa on Meet The Press tomorrow. And I won't be watching on Monday either, when Tweety interrupts her every sentence. In fact, I won’t even use her picture on this diary. As far as I'm concerned, Omarosa...
You know, I'd like to blame this feeling on a flashback, but I didn't do any acid back in the late 60's or 70's. But to quote the late, great Yogi Berra, the President's latest tweet is like”Deja vu all over again.” Easy Murf, deep breaths. OK. Just so you...
Okay, while it isn't actually REAL poop (well mostly it's not real poop) – you don't want this in there. I'm not going to address the allowable level of rodent feces in hot dogs here. I'm not even going to extoll the dubious virtues of GMOs or the addition of...
