Wanna See What Your Least Favorite Delaware Rethugs Have Been Up To? Brilliant stuff from the Delaware Democratic Party. Share with friends. This has been fact-checked to death. It’s all true.
Trump’s Four-Year War On Civil Servants. Only autocrats do stuff like this.
How Trump Is Trying To Suppress The Vote In Pa. He knows he can’t win with the voters, so he’s using every tool to reduce the number of voters. He lost one, sorta, at the Supreme Court yesterday. However, at least three justices want to interfere in state level elections. This would be Bush v. Gore all the time. The Court has been radicalized.
Fauci Was Right. It’s Gonna Be Worse. Masks are essential, should be mandatory. The midwest needs ‘mitigation’.
Omaha’s Rep. Caught Paying Government Funds To Campaign Consultant. Trump left his Omaha supporters out in the cold this week. I suspect that Omaha will leave Trump and Bacon out in the cold come Tuesday. Could a QAnon third-party candidacy help elect a Democrat in Florida? The story is bizarre, but the answer is ‘maybe’.
How Trump’s Kids Are Looting The US Government. Like father, like offspring.
What do you want to talk about?
BTW, if you wanna see how much money Chris Kenny has thrown at Delaware’s worst Rethuglicans, check out ‘A Better Delaware PAC-IE’ under the Department Of Elections committee reports.
There’s also a site focused on Mike Ramone specifically that has been up for a few weeks: https://www.ramonesrecord.com
Thanks, that’s a real good site.
The final tally for political fundraising emails yesterday is 118 in twenty-four hours!
Saw Ramone signs last night in the right-of-way to NB I-95 from Delaware Ave. in Wilmington. Pretty far afield, not even heading towards Newark. What’s up?
In my fourteen years as a Representative I have personally witnessed and experienced the consistent attitude of Mike Ramone to avoid votes on controversial policies. He has earned the “I’m committed to not being committed” award previously held by the likes of Nancy Wagner, Joe Miro, Cathy Cloutier and a half-dozen others (put my back-bench in the closet out of view please) types. So you can imagine my curiosity as to how Rep. Ramone may be reacting to the fact that quite a few of his campaign signs along Kirkwood highway have “RAMONE- NRA ENDORSED” signs proudly planted next to his. Will he reject that public exposure of his inner self or does he embrace that image and wear his AK-15 in his swimming pool to protect against sharks? Will his pride in earning an endorsement from that “vigilante birther” (NRA) group reflect a new willingness to repeal his “training wage” “youth wage” exemption in Delaware’s minimum wage bill so that all his lifeguards and adolescent employees can afford their very own assault weapon? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Representative John Kowalko
The immediate reaction has been swift. In under 24 hours, a few are missing and most are now surrounded by Ruckle signs very carefully blocking both sides so that just the “Ramone” line at the top shows: https://i.imgur.com/0zaRRjp.jpeg
Looks like they ran out of Ruckle signs 🤔 https://imgur.com/a/jmZC4yY
