100% Predictable – New Castle Council Pres Hartley-Nagle files formal harassment complaint against Councilman Smiley
Hartley-Nagle lives off drama in the same way a tick lives off blood.
May 31 Open Thread: Maybe Trump Is Impeachable
Almost everybody assumes that, even if Democrats retake the House in November, impeachment is a non-starter because two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote in favor of removing him from office, and there’s been no sign so far that even overwhelming evidence would get enough Republicans to go along. Lucian Truscott, writing at Salon, […]
May 30 Open Thread: Trump’s Katrina That Wasn’t
When Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, I thought it would do to Trump what Katrina did to Bush — reveal to the broad public the incompetence of a crony-coddling administration. The incompetence was there, and it’s been coupled with a disgusting level of disaster profiteering, but the public barely noticed. Unless the power on the […]
Why Are Liberals Obsessed With the Racism of Conservatives?
The swift axing of Roseanne Barr kicked off a Mardi Gras of gloating by liberals, especially those who like to ferret out the racism/sexism/xenophobia of others. If I had a dollar for every Daily Kos diary that amounted to, “See? See? It’s not economic anxiety!” I could treat everyone to dinner at Sullivan’s. This reaction […]

The flaw in this logic should be clear — internal differences usually get papered over in the face of a common enemy — but […]

My oldest daughter’s getting married this weekend. No treacly wedding songs, please. But, if you’ve got some contenders, send ’em my way. Here’s the Heavyweight Champeen:
First Lit Review of the Season: Jim Ryan – 9th RD Dem Primary
Very solid door knocker lit from Jim Ryan who is in a primary in the 9th to face a tough but beatable incumbent in Kevin Hensley. With a nice family shot backed by a Union/Blue Collar pic, Ryan’s gets a big bang for his buck with this introductory material going out to Dem households likely […]
ho, hum…Trump brazenly lies…just another day
Attorney General Jeff Sessions flagged a new immigration policy in a speech earlier this month, when he pledged to criminally prosecute as many illegal border crossing cases “as humanly possible.” “If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law,” Sessions said.
