To My DC Area Brothers & Sisters – Don’t Take the Bait
As someone who says that there is a time to fight, it is clear to me that this week isn't that time.
Delaware’s “Rt value” is in the middle of the pack
John Carney's covid leadership has been perfectly average.
Rt, a key measure of how fast the virus is growing. It’s the average number of people who become infected by an infectious person. If Rt is above 1.0, the virus will spread quickly. When Rt is below 1.0, the virus will stop spreading"Delaware's Rt is 1.06
For Republicans, Trumpism vs. Democracy Is a No-Brainer
I keep seeing headlines that say Republicans have to choose between Trumpism or democracy. How silly. Republicans don't believe in democracy. If they did, they would tailor their positions to…

Trump’s Batshit Crazy Phone Call To The Georgia Secretary Of State
Wow, I mean, wow! Even by Trump standards, this is insane: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/d45acb92-4dc4-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html 'I just want to find 11,780 votes.' BTW, this call took place--yesterday.

Trump Calls Georgia Senate Races 'Illegal And Invalid'. Maybe he's been looking at the campaign polling. The Rethuglican circular firing squad, it's a beautiful thing. Happy New Year, Mike Pence. …
Has Biden Botched Trump’s Tantrum?
Biden has his reasons for appearing aloof and not much of a fighter in the face of Trump's ongoing attacks on American democracy. Ceding the field to Republicans and waiting for them to stumble over their own idiocy is a favorite strategy of DC-based dems like Biden.
The track record of that strategy isn't mixed. It sucks.
On January 6th Trump is encouraging his empty-headed followers to protest in support of Trump's ongoing, anti-American attempts to overturn the election results. Biden should not let the day pass without landing some haymakers on Trump.
We have a name for people like Trump who come in second in elections - losers
If he thinks he can beat me, he should run for the Republicans nomination. If Republicans are stupid enough to nominate him - I'll beat his ass agin.
Trump is a loser and a complete failure.
Trump keeps failing because his arguments are as flimsy and weak as the flimsy 2 miles of border wall he built.The war Trump is trying to start is rhetorical (for now). It is well past time for Biden to join the battle.
