Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Thursday, January 21, 2021

Is Val Longhurst the least ethical member of the Delaware General Assembly? Well, let’s see, she parlayed her office into getting a job as the Executive Director of the Delaware Police Athletic League, thanks largely to all the ex-legislators who were on the Board that chose her. She, along with Nicole ‘No Longer Poore’, have […]

Perhaps Joy Reid said it best…a return to ‘aggressive normalcy’. Sure felt different. Proud Boys To Sad Boyz. He summoned them to Washington, lit the fuse, and abandoned them: As Mr. Trump departed the White House on Wednesday, the Proud Boys, once among his staunchest supporters, have also started leaving his side. In dozens of […]

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

Filed in National by jason330 on January 20, 2021 • 3 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.

Cleaning Up After The Elephants: Volume 1

“Some of us are like a shovel brigade that follow a parade down Main Street cleaning up.”–Chief-Of-Staff Donald Regan after a typical Reagan screw-up. The Biden Administration has a lot of shoveling to do to clean up the cheeseburger-infested feces of Donald Trump. That shoveling begins today. This will be a rare ‘good news’ series, […]

DL Open Thread 1/20/21: Inauguration Day

Filed in National by jason330 on January 20, 2021 • 2 Comments

It is almost equal parts “Fuck off, Trump, you piece of shit DAY!” and Inauguration Day. It is too bad that Trump was able to fuck up the transition as much as he did. But when you look at his track record of fucking things up, the over the top level of fucked-upedness wasn’t at […]

Yet another circumscribed week in Dover. There will be no session on Wednesday in deference to the Inauguration of President Biden and Veep Kamala Harris. Look for a similarly-circumscribed Inaugural today for Governor John Carney and Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long. As someone who has attended these in the past, I’m thankful it’s virtual. You can […]

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

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.”

Phil Spector, the groundbreaking record producer and paranoid murderer who died yesterday at age 81, made an indelible mark on the recording industry by inventing the Wall of Sound. It doesn’t sound that complicated — just turn everything up to 11, right? — but when Phil Spector built his wall, he had just two tracks […]

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

Filed in National by jason330 on January 18, 2021 • 15 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.
