Trolling Republicans this 4th of July

By jason330 June 29, 20167 Comments

I'll be trolling some Republican family members this weekend. Let me know in the comments if I've forgotten anything.

"I'm glad Bill Clinton talked Donald Trump into getting into the GOP primary. Who could have ever guessed that he'd actually win the nomination? Bill Clinton, I suppose."

"The Benghazi hearing really helped out Clinton this year. Do you think Trey Gowdy was being paid by the Clinton Foundation? It sure seems like it."

"How stupid must Mitch McConnell feel now that Merrick Garland said he would have probably voted to uphold that abortion ban? Pretty stupid I'd imagine."

"Yes, the famous Stonewall Inn was named after Stonewall Jackson. He was gayer than Liberace. Didn't you see Ken Burns' documentary. Jackson was basically "out" for his day."

Colin Bonini had company this year. The Annual Operating Budget passed the Senate, but only by a 15-6 vote. All the nos were from R's with only Cloutier, Lawson and Lopez voting for the budget. An amendment failed that would have removed a $290,000 to the Center for Energy & Environmental Policy. The center is run by McDowell ally Dr. John Byrne. The amendment predictably failed on a straight party vote, 9 yes, 12 no. I may have time to slog through the Epilogue Language which, as longtime legislative observers know, is often where special favors for legislators and their pet projects are buried. However, today is not that day.

Proud to sign HB 325 closing a loophole and preventing people from buying guns without a background check. When we look back over the last few years, we can be proud that #netde has done about as much as any other state to keep guns out of the wrong hands. Because of the courage and determination of legislators and advocates, Delaware is a safer place.
