Bernie kicks Howard Schultz where it hurts

Posted on February 21, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Yeah, that was pretty savage. And totally on point. And so’s this: He’s out-fundraising all the other Democratic leadership candidates…and more to the point, he’s doing it without corporate donors. He’s doing it with the help of the people whose … Continue reading →

Posted on February 20, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Morning Joe goes ALL THE WAY OFF on Roger Stone

Posted on February 19, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Not a fan of any of these people, but you have simply got to hear this: They really let loose on Roger Ratfuck. And it’s downright satisfying. Where they hell WERE they when Dubya was paving the way for all … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2019 by Sabina Becker
