Dave McBride & Greg Lavelle: Twin Executioners Of Assault Weapons Ban?
Let’s first state the obvious: The so-called leader of the Delaware State Senate has given the finger to every student, family and person who took part in the March For Our Lives throughout the world. That includes Delaware and, yes, former VP Joe Biden. He ‘pulled a Schwartzkopf’, but, in this case, it was even […]
Song Of The Day: March 26, 2018
We’re stickin’ with yesterday’s theme for one more day. This song is too good to pass up:
Coons “concerned” about Bolton
Coons presents himself as a bloodthirsty hawk, out to lay waste to enemies of Israel, and yet he thinks Bolton might be too belligerent.
Stormy Daniels on 60 Minutes Tonight – so what?
Everyone knows that Trump is an adulterous a-hole. For evangelical Christians, it simply doesn’t matter. They like him anyway.
For many sane Americans, the Stormy Daniels 60 Minutes interview scheduled to air tonight will not make us think that Trump is more of an adulterous a-hole then we already knew him to be.
So what is the point? Why is this such a big deal? I have some thoughts on that of my own – but I’m seriously asking. Will this interview change anything?
Kerri Harris’ Common Sense Gun Violence Reduction Agenda
One puppy dies in an overhead compartment and the US Senate immediately considers legislation to protect these “family members.” One deadly school shooting per week since Jan 1, 2018 and Tom Carper doesn’t lift a goddam finger.
These common sense items proposed by Kerri Harris are proven to reduce gun violence in states where they have been implemented.
Polling News That Should Worry Professional Dems
Tom Carper should know that it isn’t just guns. Young Americans are calling bullshit on your fucked up, “Republican Lite” trickle down economics too.
March 24 Open Thread: None Dare Call It Brainwashing
A whistleblowing Cambridge Analyitica employee gave The Guardian the 27-page internal document it calls Trump’s blueprint for victory, detailing its use of social media platforms to both disseminate ads and false claims and determine which were most effective in a continuous feedback loop. It’s fascinating reading, and remember this is all not only legal but […]
March For Our Lives Open Thread
With more than 800(!) marches taking place all over the world, what are you doing today? If you are at one of the marches, please let us know what’s happening. If you’re watching the marches, what is your reaction? My main hope is that, just like the Women’s March last year, today’s events will be […]
Trump Bans Transgendered Troops. Again.
Maybe he’s running out of outrageous stunts to perform (no, I’m not talking about with Stormy Daniels–OK, maybe just a little bit). But at 9 pm Friday, he once again signed an Executive Order banning most transgendered troops from serving in the military. Or, maybe he signed it for the first time after announcing his […]
Song Of The Day: March 24, 2018
Some days the song comes right to you. Especially on a languid Saturday morning:
March 23 Open Thread: Trump Wants Trade Wars and Hot Wars
Among all the distractions in the 24-hour news cycle, the most important story got buried amid the detritus: Trump slapped tariffs on a bunch of Chinese goods, and the American stock market took a dive the entire time he talked. Economists have an axiom that currency wars are followed by trade wars, which are followed […]
Delaware Political Weekly: March 16-22, 2018
1. Two More For RD 16. One candidate, Jakim Mohammed, filed this week for the race to succeed retiring Rep. J. J. Johnson. I like him, perhaps the only ex-cop I would consider supporting. Why? Because he challenges the way that police interact with the black community (I’m using ‘interact’ as a euphemism here). He’s […]
