Delaware Liberal

DL Open Thread: Mon., Jan. 20, 2020

The Virginia Gun Rally.  On MLK Day, no less:

Along with mainstream gun-rights activists, the event is also expected to attract white supremacists, members of antigovernment militias and other extremists, stoking fears of the sort of violence that left one person dead and some two dozen others injured in 2017 during a far-right rally in Charlottesville, about an hour’s drive from Richmond.

How is it that the Va. governor and D legislators can pass gun control legislation despite of these rallies, but Delaware ‘leaders’ cower before the dead-enders? No, really, I want to know.

How Many Cops Does It Take To Arrest A Subway Rider Who Has His Hands Up?  This is what happens when NYC MTA decides to spend, wait for it, $249 mill for more transit cops instead of, oh I don’t know, upgrading the subways.

Trump Disses Proposed Seawall To Protect New York While Planning Seawalls To Protect His Golf Resort In Ireland.  What can I say?

‘A Great People Repellent’.  Larry David wears MAGA hat in first episode of the new season of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’. You can make a case for him being the funniest person ever. 

Racist Policies Create Urban ‘Heat Islands’.  Sometimes as much as a 20-degree difference in some urban areas.

It is mostly lower-income households and communities of color who live in these urban “heat islands” which have historically had fewer green spaces and tree canopy, and more concrete and pavements and thus are less equipped to cope with the mounting effects of global heating.

Would now be the right time to once again point out that Mayor Mike stole money earmarked for these neighborhoods and gifted it to Buccini/Pollin for luxury high-rises? Why isn’t City Council screaming bloody murder about this?  Why isn’t someone suing his/their asses? I mean, how much of that stolen lucre would it cost to help create some tree canopies and green space?

What do you want to talk about?
