Trump’s “Project 2025” Sings Woody Guthrie’s “Mean Talking Blues” Years ago, Woody Guthrie wrote “Mean Talking Blues,” a stinging satire of malicious right-wing officials who take perverse pleasure in demonizing, holding down, and punishing poor people:

Kansas City Drinking Liberally will meet tomorrow Nov 19th at 5:30 at Martin City Brewery Pizza and Taproom 4950 Main KC Mo.
Of course We will discuss the Epstein files but also the Ken Burns American Revolution on PBS which is excellent.
Come and help us fight fascism.

Well Now That Laura Loomer Has Said It Maybe our great journalists will take it seriously, because somehow that's how things work.

www.eschatonblog.com/2025/11/well... far be it from us to quote Lara Loomer but she hit the nail on the head.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We have a situation where the US treasury and Sovereign Wealth Funds are propping up financial markets and not making productive investments in Infrastructure except for data centers which use enormous amounts of water and electricity but which have shown little or no benefit to the economy.

J. Silverman in his book Gilded Rage about Elon Musk and Silicon Valley writes about how Saudi, Qatari and Dubai Sovereign Wealth funds help finance Musk’s companies, Crypto etc. The US gov’t is also subsidizing Musk and Crypto markets. Plus 2O billion given to Argentina to prop up the Peso.

Kansas City Drinking Liberally meets this Sunday Nov. 16th at 6:30pm at the Westport Flea Market 817 Westport Road KC Mo.
We’ll talk about a new Christmas Story starring Epstein’s Ghosts. Also what happens now that the Government shutdown has ended?
If you can, come join us.

Why Does So Much New Technology Feel Inspired by Dystopian Sci-Fi Movies?

petro is so beast

The only one telling us not to talk about it now is Donald J. Trump.

KKKaroline Leavitt say that Democrats have "selectively leaked emails to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump."

But as I understand, it’s more typical for trump to smear himself.

Either way, someone else always needs to clean him up #USDemocracy

And logic.

Fake smiling Greg Abbott on a Loteria card titled “El Fascista “

This guy just announced his official bid for reelection as governor of Texas.
Including a platform to eliminate all property taxes for schools - which would eliminate public schools in Texas. Or put them all under dictatorship control.

Lots has been written about the effects of the deportation of immigrants on small businesses and farms but immigrants like all of us are also consumers, if a million are deported and those million spend $30k each, that’s $30 billion withdrawn from the economy and with the multiplier $50 billion.

If I had a bell I would be walking through the center town ringing, it yelling “shame!“

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it won’t pass but she’ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

Trump’s sham Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, announced a mass pardon of at least 77 people involved in efforts to overthrow the 2020 election results. This is another unprecedented and extremely dangerous use of the pardon power. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/cHkqw...

They never fail to disappoint.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
