State Police will not want to hurt these guys feelings, so will these domestic terrorists be allowed to kill a bunch of people in Dover, as planned? Take the poll ->.
When poor people miss paying a fine it quickly becomes a nightmare with fines piling on top of fines and jail time looming. When candidates and PAC’s blow off fines it is the very essence of no big deal. Basically Delaware’s election law enforcement is a fucking joke. Read ‘Delaware Call’
Political Leaders, PACs Owe Thousands in Election Fines: Campaign finance violations unenforced at Department of Elections
www.delawarecall.com
Each year in Delaware, more than a hundred individuals, mostly of lower-income, receive probation or are incarcerated for failing to pay fines and fees to the state. The same cannot be said, however, for political candidates and political action committees (PACs) that have accumulated thousands of dollars in fines for campaign finance violations. Political candidates and PACs can rack up sizable fines for failing to file financial disclosure reports, which are required by law so the public knows who is financing political campaigns.

What would you like to talk about?
“Spread the word ! Ask off from work ASAP!”
I cant even!
What are the alternating American Flag & Skull emojis meant to communicate? What is it Alby calls them, a death cult?
A party of sociopaths.
I LOVE your Open Threads.
About this Republican call for “unity” and “healing” — it comes from the same place that their fealty to Trump does, their fear of their own voters.
You saw how quickly they turned on Pence, how they assailed Romney and Graham when they saw them in public. These politicians are cowards of the highest order. They’re scared shitless that if they protect Trump, normal people will vote them out of office, but if they vote against him, his gun-nut MAGAts will kill them.
They made a deal with the devil, and this insurrection is Old Scratch knocking at the door.

Armed insurrection at the seats of government must be met with a deadly counter force. We need to take these deluded assholes at their word.
I know just how to do it, too — give them all glasses that make everybody they see look Black.
The fun part of that gun-nut notice is the illiteracy. Why is “Ashli Babbitt” in quotes?

Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz has suspended shyster Lin Wood’s privilege to represent clients in Delaware.
WDEL hack Rick Jensen is continuing his apology/excuse tour for those traitors and murderers who invaded the Capitol and their inspirational leader DT. Looking for a direct number to WDEL station or general manager to ask them personally if they are proud of their home-grown Carlson/Hannity. Maybe the FBI should tune in and monitor local stations around the country.
Save your breath. If he goes, they’ll replace him with someone much worse. I’ve seen the pool of prospective talkers. Jensen is about as close to the center as they get — not close at all, but if he stands on a ladder he can see the center off in the distance.
I don’t feel better about Delaware’s finest protecting anything. After all. they did back the lead insurgent in the last election!
And as expected no one from Wilmington Trust will face any penalties
White collar justice for ALL!
