DL Open Thread: Weds., June 24, 2020
Only Two Massive Indoor Events Since US Pandemic Started–Both Trump Rallies. With a huge surge in cases in Arizona coupled with the utter irresponsibility of his rally, I think he’s clinched Arizona for Biden. He now only speaks to his shrinking base. This NYTimes/Siena poll spells deep doo-doo for Le Grand Orange.
Prosecutor: DOJ Intervened To Cut Roger Stone A Break On Sentencing. It is a reflection of the complete and utter corruption of this administration that this is viewed as business as usual instead of the impeachable offense that it is.
Memo To Sen. Nicole Poore: STFU. Just consider the irony of this quote:
“Every single person in this General Assembly swore an oath to make sure that we always place the public’s interest above any of our special or personal interests,” Majority Leader Nicole Poore, a New Castle Democrat, said.
Thus said the ethically-bankrupt senator who parlayed her senate win into a lucrative job as the Director of the utterly-useless Jobs For Delaware Graduates. Nobody, except perhaps her PAL Val Longhurst, has made more of a mockery of that oath than Nicole ‘No Longer’ Poore. You can find out why Poore is so upset if you just proceed to page 6 of the Grant-In-Aid bill. Check out line 6:
- Jobs for Delaware Graduates: $1,395,197
You want more? How about lines 28 and 29 on page 7:
- Police Athletic League of Delaware: $183,600
- Police Athletic League of Wilmington: $153,269
If I were a Republican senator, I swear I’d introduce an amendment striking these items from the bill, and I would cite Poore’s own words in doing so. Let everybody vote on that.
With Coronavirus Rising, What Better Time To Cut Testing Sites? COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing. A 40% rise in the past two weeks. We’re also inching back towards 1000 deaths daily. 833 yesterday. The newest hot spots: Two more counties on the Florida panhandle, Leon County, home of Tallahassee and Calhoun County; Columbiana County, OH, which went yu-u-u-ge for Trump; Guadalupe County, TX; Etowah County, AL, home of Gadsden; and Dyer County, TN.
What Trump And George H. W. Bush Have In Common. You may remember that Bush is the last incumbent President to lose his reelection bid. Interesting read.
House To Vote On Budget Bill Today. Also, a Consent Agenda will be considered. The Senate will be back in session tomorrow.
What do you want to talk about?
Looks like Flynn will skate: Appeals Court rules 2-1, claims that only the Department of Justice can decide whether to prosecute or not to prosecute:

A victory for Trump Administration corruption.
What do we want to talk about? Your nailing it man. You hit local, state wide and national. The full spectrum of hard hitting facts that can’t be denied. Give it to me Big Daddy. That Sen putting graft in the budget is a piss cutter. Got to hammer Jerry Nadler about not wanting to impeach Barr. Put the prusser on so the GOP Senators have to vote or not vote better for the Dem oppossition. Weaken their asses. This scandle on Barr is good for all reasons. When you got Barr down Kick his fat ass unmercifully. Disgrace them all. Low lives due matter when they severt the rule of law.
Trump is the healthiest president ever. How else can he be surrounded by people on his staff with covid; go to these rallies full of rabid covid followers and still not be in a hospital. maybe he is right. maybe laying in a tanning bed for 20 minutes a day kills the covid virus
Flynn confessed twice, and still walks away a free man, so much for the rule of law and a non political judiciary. Get mad, stay mad and fight on to November.
Maybe you should at least try and look into why Flynn confessed. Listen to the reasons his current lawyer gives.
The way the FBI went about the whole Flynn episode should piss off any true liberal who doesn’t approve of lying cheating cops.
They held a knee down across his neck for 8 1/2 minutes until he was almost dead?
Didn’t think so.
That’s a pretty extreme criteria.
I read “what they did” to Flynn to “force” him to lie, lol. The notes you allude to also read that the FBI knew he would lie before he even lied. Then he admitted to lying.
And of course this, “There was a risk that Flynn — the incoming national security adviser — could be blackmailed by Russia, given that the Russians knew he had lied about his conversation with Kislyak (after Flynn lied about it to Pence). The (Obama) Justice Department wanted to inform the incoming administration about that risk. The FBI didn’t.”
Flynn is a whinny sack of lying shit who continues to betray the oath he took to defend the constitution and instead merely looks to line his pockets any way he can. In other words, he is a modern day republican.
Flynn is a traitor and self confessed liar (X2). WTF are you talking about.
Here is the story that is not being covered:
Trump preps for election nullification
All AZ speech news was about Trump saying “Kung/flu” Yes it is racist as fuck, but he also openly discussed overturning November election results if they don’t go his way.
How can we continue to ignore this shit?
