Open Thread for July 9th – Fox and Friends

Has anybody else watched Fox and Friends, the AM "news" show on the Fox News Channel? I just watched that idiocy for about two minutes, and a painful two minutes it was. The doltish hosts are very aware that they are talking to the Republican President who is almost surly watching. Moreover, they are very aware that they need to flatter their doltish baby-man viewer on topics such as:
  • How great the President is.
  • How smart the President is to conclude a cyber-security agreement with Putin
  • How great the cyber-security agreement is.
  • How angry Democrats will be at being bested by the genius President, yet again.
  • How great America is thanks to the greatness of the great Republican President.
    • I'm not exaggerating. That all happened in the two minutes I had it on. North Korean state media has nothing on Fox News. In totally not surprising news, The Republican President doesn't know the difference between China and Taiwan.

    Clintonite Dems, Stop killing America

    I don't dislike Clinton zealots and "centrist" Dems personally. Some of them are very nice people. Tom Carper one on one? Class guy. First rate. Mat Marshall? The best. What I don't like are people wedded to a political philosophy that has such a long track record of abject failure. By luck and design we live in a two party system, and the radical modern Republican Party in America needs a legitimate counterweight. The Party of John Carney and Hillary Clinton is not that acting as that counterweight. If mushy, "third way", middle of the road, compromise first and bi-partiisanship above all actually WORKED, I'd love it. Other than for the election of Bill Cinton, WHEN HAS IT EVER WORKED? Your endless appetite for appeasement is leaving Republicans to run roughshod over American norms and values that have served us well for over 240 years. Just stop it. Stop killing America. Dustyn Thompson and Eric Morrison wrote a guest post at Blue Delaware which deals with this topic more diplomatically than I could have.

    Can Delaware Liberals theoretically raise $50,000 for a primary challenger to John Carney?

    It is a simple question. Based his track record so far, can we get 100 Delaware liberals and progressives to pledge $500.00 each? Money talks. I'm in, so the goal is now 99 Delaware liberals and progressives on the record pledging $500.00 each to signal their disgust with this travesty of a budget and the terrible "leadership" that foisted it on this state. Say yes or no in the comments, and if we get to $50,000 in pledges we'll go on to phase 2 - setting up a fundraising page and start turning those pledges into real money thereby giving some qualified candidate a running start at challenging Carney.
