DL Open Thread: Thurs., Aug. 29, 2019

City Sues Treasurer Velda Jones-Potter.  While I have little regard for the reign of Mayor Mike,  this lawsuit looks like a response to the Potter family run amok. And it seems like a pretty clear case of overreach on the part of Jones-Potter.  Can, you know, a real accountant run against her this time? Instead of, you know, a guy who needs money who would have had access to a whole lot of money.

MP’s To Form ‘Alternate Parliament’  As FU To Boris Johnson?  He ain’t long for #10 Downing Street.

Biden’s Checkered History On ‘Welfare Reform’.  You read. You decide.

Working Families Party Making Waves In Municipal Elections.  I LOVE this trend. It’s certainly making Philly more progressive.

A Case Study In The NRA’s Financial Meltdown.  The problem?: Men with guns acting entitled. And getting sued for it.

Trump To Unleash Power Of Methane To Destroy Planet.  Perhaps b/c only by destroying the planet can Trump’s disastrous stewardship be erased from history. No planet, no history.

What do you want to talk about?

    if the city and mayor can sue a do noting “accountant” why can’t the dept of Ed and the state sue a do noting auditor?

    • Didn’t catch the mistake until I was at work. I’ll blame it on my second fantasy football draft, which took place last night.

      BTW, I killed it.

    If the gullibility and stupidity of dumb-fuck gun nuts is as bottomless as it appears to be, the grifters who run NRA have nothing to worry about.

    From what I’ve observed in various country bars, Moose clubs etc. the answer to the gullibility and stupidity question about the NRA is an emphatic Yes! NRA gun nuts are as much part of a cult as any Trump lover, corruption and confusion bother them not at all.
