Month: December 2019

There's no avoiding it, I'm afraid; it's coming around again. No, not Christmas -- Star Wars. The neverending movie franchise is at last coming to an end, or rather its…

Remember back when states and cities were prostrating themselves before Amazon in hopes of landing a new headquarters? Lots of people, not all of them Republicans, castigated Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and…

Campaigning for Biden in Las Vegas, Coons said that Republican Senators will magically decide to work with a Biden admistration, because...reasons.

One of Biden’s key talking points centers on his claim of being able to work with Republicans to pass legislation. Coons said Biden possesses the “greatest reserve of goodwill in the Senate.” Even if the Democrats flip the Senate, he said, it would almost certainly be a weak majority that would still require some level of compromise with Republicans. Vulnerable Democratic incumbents and promising challengers in the Senate are also secretly hoping for a Biden nomination, Coons said, as they believe he would be the best candidate to lift others on the 2020 ticket.

Since the debacle of 2016, voters have taken every opportunity to vote against Trump and Trump enabling Republicans in state and local elections.  The DEGOP has done nothing to distance itself from Trump, so it is entirely reasonable to expect another Blue Wave in Delaware.   And yet, there are only two probably Republican quitters in Delaware.  Part of this is because the DEGOP has already been decimated at the polls, but part of it is because Delcollo and Hensley are Teflon. The smear "he is a Republican" doesn't really seem to stick to them.  

Probable DEGOP Quitters:

 Cathy Cloutier is still leading the pack.  The district has shifted under her feet and her brand of 1990's style Michael Castle republicanism doesn't make very much sense anymore.   Mike Ramone is the next most likely to find a sudden desire to spend more time with his family.  He knows that he caught a break last time out.  

Should be DEGOP Quitters who aren't

If the world made sense, Anthony Delcollo would quit.  If Dems field a good candidate he may consider it given the composition of the district.   Similarly, Kevin Hensley should be in trouble but isn't.  

I'd show more respect if cops helped get rid of the trigger happy racists in thier ranks.

Only socialism can save capitalism. I hate to break this news to socialist and capitalist alike. Anyway, listen and give yourself the gift of a patronage this year. It is less than you spend on automated red light tickets. Also take the sidebar poll today. -> "Fightin' Joe" getting raves. I say he didn't go far enough. Calling a Fox News viewer a fat idiot is a good start though. When your neighborhood is being gentrified by bears, you know the forces of gentrification are getting serious.

A group of mental health professionals led by a trio of pre-eminent psychiatrists is urging the House Judiciary Committee to consider Donald Trump’s “dangerous” mental state arising from his “brittle…
