Biden’s Unity isn’t Coons’ “meet in the middle” Faux Unity

By jason330 January 20, 20213 Comments

I was buoyed by Biden's speech. He talked about the importance of "truth" and honor. I hope Coons was listening. Because while Coons figures that bipartisanship means compromising on basic principles - Biden's view appears to be that truth is more important than meeting in the middle. I've often said that Coon's version of bipartisanship amounts to "We say 1+1=2, but they say 1+1=4, so the truth must lie in the middle and 1+1=3. Coons is a slave to a logical fallacy called argument to moderation. Biden basically said "Fuck no. 1+1=2 and let's get some unity around that simple truth."

This Andrews thing is really an embarrassing mess.

"We will be back in some form." In handcuffs?

Open Thread II: Until he is found guilty and thrown in jail, I'd be happy if this was the last time Trump is ever mentioned in the media. I guess many of us are going to be following along with the TV today. You can put your observations here.

UPDATED: A Pathetic, Fucked in the Head Jane Brady Argues in Favor of the DEGOP Keeping the Racism Going in Transparent Bid to Curry Favor With Witzke

By jason330 January 18, 202120 Comments

The shambling zombified corpse that is the DEGOP is being led by a cynical fucker who is unguarded about keeping the hate and racism going.

Brady says whether or not Trump has a political future, Republicans must fight to keep the supporters he brought into the party. “I mean he didn’t agree with everybody on everything, and he said what he thought," she said. "People felt emboldened to say what they thought. I think that’s a good thing."

DL Open Thread 1/18/21: Biden’s Looming War on Republican Mendacity and Stupidity & Happy MLK Day

By jason330 January 18, 202115 Comments

The Delaware Senate Republicans who refused to congratulate Biden and Harris are awful, but the statement on why they voted against a simple bit of civility and decency is appalling beyond measure. It has the hallmarks of being written by the very appallingly smarmy creep, Anthony Delcollo. It is meant to signal that Democrats interested in governing and proper order will find only hatred and bitterness if they expect to work with Republicans. I think we have to the votes, and I hope we have the political will to utterly ignore these fucking assholes. They are sorely in need of being judged by the content of thier character.

Why 6 Delaware Republicans refused to congratulate, express support for Joe Biden

...Senate spokesman sent joint a statement from the caucus later that night accusing Senate Democrats of straying away from "long-held ideals" by using the two resolutions to "further drive the partisan wedge."

This is a good companion to that Delaware story. Ultimately the American experiment in self-government comes down to people having a bit of character.
