DL Open Thread: Thurs., Dec. 12, 2019

Filed in Featured by on December 12, 2019

Some D ‘Moderates’ Likely To Oppose Impeachment.  They’re every bit as cynical as every Rethug who gives Trump a free pass. Primary ’em.

Rethugs Still Confirming Unqualified Judges.  Hey, at least Coons didn’t vote to confirm this one.  Betcha he gets a pat on his balding pate every time he gives a thumbs-up to one of Trump’s picks.

How FBI Slow-Walked Russia/Trump Investigation.  Only in a Bizarro World could the meme that the FBI favored Clinton take hold.  A must-read. ‘Blood Will Be Boiled’.

Trump’s Latino Outreach Team.  They’re better than we would hope, but not w/o their issues.

Why Is Top D AWOL On Pollution Fight In Cancer Alley?  Perhaps $128K in campaign contributions from the chemical industry explains why. Kinda reminds me of Darius Brown and the landfill…

Morale Still Sucks Among Delaware Corrections Officers.  That’s a dog-bites-man story right there.

Mayor Mike, Fire Department Continue Feud.  He’s really gonna skate to a second term with no opposition?

What do you want to talk about?

    The BPG support team has flipped another 1,000 or so Castle/Roth Republicans to Democrat in Highlands & Wawaset Park. Unfortunately as the DE Republican party gets put in its grave it’s an easy sell to the city elites.

    It’s a huge problem. So huge we developed a podcast around the entire conceit!

    John Stoehr: For all the talk about snowflakes and the like, Trump is historically unpopular, as is everything he has done since taking office. He does not occupy the political center. As the Republicans rally to protect him, they push themselves to the margins, which is a perilous place to be. In this context, liberalism may find itself experiencing a renaissance, a reawakening among voters to its true meaning: a school of thought dedicated to pursuing liberty and equality.

      I’m not holding my breath. With one notable exception, all libertarians that have ever commented here have long since revealed themselves to be authoritarian Trumpists.

    My final thought of the day considering the election results in the UK.

    “The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We — even we here — hold the power, and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free — honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just — a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.”

    –A Lincoln, December 1862
