Quote of the Day: The contract between a Trumpist politician and their voters runs a little something like, “I will enrich myself while exacerbating every problem that lands on my desk, but in exchange for the measurable decline in your quality of life, I will lie to your face about who’s to blame, allowing you […]
Song of the Day 1/30: Lana Del Rey, “Fuck It I Love You”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona I believe there are some hipsters out there who still haven’t gotten on the Lana Del Rey bandwagon. Sure, the wagon leads to some darkish film-noir kind of places, but that’s a good reason to hop on. The reluctant might still be thinking about her disastrous debut on “Saturday Night […]
GOP Doubling Down on Threats of Domestic Terrorism – Against Fellow Members of Congress
Boiled down to a sticky toxic goo, today’s GOP is addicted to threatening violence.
Texas extremist Chip Roy calls for “alternative methods” to deal with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Warning in a letter to Speaker Pelosi that if she doesn’t “apologize immediately, we will be forced to find alternative means to condemn this regrettable statement.”
Of course, Roy is not going to say exactly what that means, but I think we all know this is a physical threat against her.
I am not sure at what point there is going to be an assassination attempt against AOC, but I’d say that I think it is more likely than not in the next two years.
These are horrible times. And the Republican leadership is completely fine with all of it.

Stolen Election Hardliner Refuses Audit–Of Her Own Election. This Arizona Rethuglican Party is self-destructing. Bigly. Keep it up. ‘Everybody Has A Plan Until They’re Punched In The Mouth’. Iron Mike might as well have been talking about the vaccine shit show the Biden Administration has inherited. Including 20 mill ‘missing’ doses of vaccine. Report: Andrew […]
Biden White House will Not ‘elevate conspiracy theories’
I like this approach. Not talking about Trump these few weeks has been like a year in the country.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that she would not comment on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) because she doesn’t want to “elevate conspiracy theories” in the White House briefing room.
“We don’t want to elevate conspiracy theories further in the briefing room, so I’m going to leave it at that,” Psaki said.
Psaki also told reporters that she would leave the decision to Congress as to whether to keep Greene on committees as she has come under fire for her promotion of unfounded conspiracy theories.
Song of the Day 1/29: The Rolling Stones, “Jigsaw Puzzle”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona Have you heard the news? This is National Puzzle Day. Alby, who usually fills this spot, would never embarrass himself by using National Puzzle Day as an excuse for a Song of the Day. On the other hand, he might if he knew he could get a two-fer out of […]

Reasons To Not Read The News-Journal: You may be aware that they are doing a clickbait series on ‘The Most Influential Delawareans’. I will not provide a link. Well, this week, they did one on the most influential political leaders, and many of the choices were bad. Uninspired. Just plain wrong. Here’s what got my […]
Song of the Day 1/28: Bonny Light Horseman, “Bonny Light Horseman”
Folk music has had either about a hundred revivals since the one in the ‘60s or it has never gone away. I vote for the latter. Styles seem to flow seamlessly from one to the other and before you know it folk music has a new sound. The flow has led to the American acts […]

If this guy, Robert Stout, was in the Capitol he should not only step down but step down in handcuffs for transport to a federal prison.

Song of the Day 1/27: A-ha, “Take on Me”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona There’s a scene in the Oscar-winning movie “La La Land” where we see a musician noodling on a synthesizer in a band at a pool party. Played by Ryan Gosling, he’s really a sensitive jazz guy at heart, so we’re supposed to feel sorry for him stuck in this mess. […]
Connect The Seditionist Dots…
Then do something. This message is for AG Kathleen Jennings, Secretary of State Jeff Bullock, and anybody else who might have some authority. First, read this. This is how state officials look at how to deal with Trump’s many shell corporations incorporated in Delaware. Excellent article. Then, read this. A key excerpt: Following OpenSecrets investigations […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, January 27, 2021
A very rare Wednesday session, with full agendas scheduled in both chambers. Oh, and some teaching opportunities for the masses. Woo-hoo! Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. You will notice that the Sussex Tech bill has been replaced with an alternative that ‘does not change the preferences for student admissions or the eligibility standards for accepted […]
