DL Open Thread: Tues., Jan. 7, 2020

Filed in Featured by on January 7, 2020

‘Have Democrats Finally Found Their Own ALEC?’: I tend to doubt it b/c progressives have the capacity to think for themselves, whereas right wingers, um, don’t. Still, this is a positive step.

Iran Targets…Trump Properties For Retribution.  I don’t like this–it just gives Trump an excuse to skip out on his bills.

Pompeo Will Not Run From Trump  For Kansas Senate Seat.  Kids, every now and then, I get one right. From yesterday’s Open Thread: “BTW, Pompeo should have ditched this shitshow for Kansas when he had the chance. Wouldn’t be a good look for him to do so now.”  So, are the Kansas Rethugs gonna be stuck with Kris Kobach?  Believe it or not, this seat is very much in play, and it could decide the Senate.

Trump Did Business With People Associated With Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.  Because, of course he did. We’re talking an Azerbaijan hotel project.  Everything personally approved by Ivanka.

82nd Airborne Bids Family Goodbye, Heads Into The Unknown.  The older soldiers somber, the young ones giddy.

Carney Nominates Paul Fioravanti For Chancery Court Opening.  He’s a registered D.  He’s donated to, among others, Bryan Townsend and, wait for it, Greg Lavelle.  All that says to me is that he wants to be a judge and he’s been covering his bases with campaign contributions for awhile. Still, I’d enjoy hearing his conversation with Laura Sturgeon when it happens.

What do you want to talk about?

    Trump v Biden ?

    Trump: “Make America Great….”

    Biden: “Learn to Code”

    The choice is obvious: Bernie 2020

    Please remember Chris Coons mused about war with Iran a few months ago on Fox. So, I know he’s popular and everything. And that’s cool I guess.

    Dred Scott was decided 7 to 2. Justices McLean and Curtis were so stupid. I’m mean it was only two of them! Nerds. There was like a moral majority. A prayer breakfast of sorts.

    I’m too negative!

    “We’ve committed more war crimes almost than any nation in the world, and I’m going to continue to say it. And we won’t stop it because of our pride and our arrogance as a nation.”
    —–Martin Luther King Jr

    Still true!

  5. RE Vanella says:

    Honestly, though. No joking around. Was I accused of being too pessimistic literally hours before a war started? That’s cool I guess.

    What would Hmm & friends say about this?

  6. RE Vanella says:

    I proud to announce that Chris Coons is not my friend.

    Only g*d can judge me!!!
