DL Open Thread Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021
The GOP House caucus — motto: “More shitbags than a colostomy clinic” — gave Marjorie Taylor Greene a standing ovation at a closed-door meeting over her “controversial” (translation: batshit loony) statements about Q, school shootings and Jewish space lasers. True to their craven cowardice, they also let Lynne Cheney keep her leadership position, thereby proving that being crazy does not make them brave.
President Biden demanded the resignations of all 10 members of the Federal Service Impasses Panel, which resolves disputes between agencies and labor groups that arise during collective bargaining negotiations. Trump had stacked the panel with anti-labor partisans, and it routinely imposed anti-worker contracts, often imposing draconian terms that were to the right of what management requested. Best part: Two of them refused to quit, so they were shitcanned.
Remember Kyle Rittenhouse, the shitbag 17-year-old who traveled from Illinois to Wisconsin so he could kill two people at a Black Lives Matter protest? He’s skipped bail, and prosecutors don’t know where he is. His lawyers said they know where he is, but won’t reveal his location. So much for their love of law and order.
The News-Journal is running a series called “Killing the Chesapeake,” about how Pennsylvania is failing to live up to its obligations under a multi-state agreement to clean up the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. Not a TNJ subscriber? No worries. The link is to the York Daily Record.
What do you want to talk about?
Rittenhouse and the woman who stole Nancy Pelosi’s computer should have been denied bail, both have abused it. Piss on the judges who did this. Marjorie Greene is a maniac, Loraine Boebert by comparison is merely an idiot, follow her on Twitter for a damn she’s dumb laugh or two. Biden should methodically flush all Trump appointees, none are worthy and all kissed Trump butt for the gig. As expected Biden will spend a lot of time reversing what Trump did, and rightly so.
I wonder if the Cheney vote would have been different had it not been by secret paper ballot. Better that for them than going on record and crossing Trump.

LMAO!
“His lawyers said they know where he is, but won’t reveal his location.”
Isn’t this his lawyers admitting that they are accomplices to a crime?
“Election tech company Smartmatic is suing the Fox Corporation, Fox News, Fox anchors Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Jeanine Pirro, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and Sidney Powell for participating in a “conspiracy to defame and disparage Smartmatic and its election technology and software,” according to a 276-page complaint filed today.”
Asking for a jury trial and 2.7 billion in damages. How I hope they get it.
Delaware has 700 square miles in the Chesapeake bay watershed that is almost totally unprotected from parasitic developers, land rapers and piles of chicken shit
I don’t think attorney client privilege applies to harboring a murdering felon.
It only should be used by LLC licensing agents to protect the identity of money-launderers, fraudsters, human traffickers, drug smugglers and Trump grifters so they can go about their businesses.
Rep. Kowalko
“More shitbags than a colostomy clinic”, yes friends, politics can be fun… Hell… Hilarious! 2,000 points for total victory Jason.
11, count ’em, ELEVEN, Rethugs voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments.
ELEVEN. That leaves 200 Rethugs who stuck with the conspiracy pusher.
The Rethuglican Party is officially the QAnon Party. I don’t wanna hear any of them, except for those who voted with the majority, to whine about being unfairly painted as QAnon supporters. The D’s MUST use this against every R who refused to do their duty.
