The Thanksgiving Daily Delawhere – November 24, 2016

Filed in National by on November 24, 2016

Cassandra requested that I include the Del DMV’s funny photo today. I hope each of you, and all of you, have a happy Thanksgiving today. I hope everyone relaxes with and enjoys their family and friends. If you have any Trump or Stein/Johnson voters in your family, resist the totally natural and acceptable urge to smite them. Come here and share your horror stories, but hopefully those are few and far between.

    The whole thing is worth a read:

    Trump adviser tells House Republicans: You’re no longer Reagan’s party

    Donald Trump’s economic adviser Stephen Moore told a group of top Republicans last week that they now belong to a fundamentally different political party.

    Moore surprised some of the Republican lawmakers assembled at their closed-door whip meeting last Tuesday when he told them they should no longer think of themselves as belonging to the conservative party of Ronald Reagan.

    They now belong to Trump’s populist working-class party, he said.
    A source briefed on the House GOP whip meeting — which Moore attended as a guest of Majority Whip Steve Scalise — said several lawmakers told him they were taken aback by the economist’s comments.

    “For God’s sake, it’s Stephen Moore!” the source said, explaining some of the lawmakers’ reactions to Moore’s statement. “He’s the guy who started Club for Growth. He’s Mr. Supply Side economics.” […]

    Moore has spent much of his career advocating for huge tax and spending cuts and free trade. He’s been as close to a purist ideological conservative as they come, but he says the experience of traveling around Rust Belt states to support Trump has altered his politics.

    Well that “populism” thing didn’t last long:

    Trump picks vulture capitalist for Commerce

    President-elect Donald Trump is expected to choose Wilbur Ross Jr. to become the next Commerce secretary. […]

    Ross, a chairman and chief strategist of private-equity firm W.L. Ross & Co., has made his wealth by buying and restructuring companies within the manufacturing and steel industries.

    And Happy Thanksgiving. Fortunately, I only have one Trumper in the family and he has sense enough not to gloat because I am relatively intolerant of family members who are like that. I have no problem excommunicating family. I’m Catholic and we can do that stuff.
