All the fucked up shit we know about the Trump administration is just the surface level fucked up shit. The real fucked up shit is going to be coming out for a long time.

Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency

Flynn went berserk. The former three-star general, whom Trump had fired as his first national security adviser after he was caught lying to the FBI (and later pardoned), stood up and turned from the Resolute Desk to face Herschmann. "You're quitting! You're a quitter! You're not fighting!” he exploded at the senior adviser. Flynn then turned to the president, and implored: "Sir, we need fighters." https://www.axios.com/trump-oval-office-meeting-sidney-powell-a8e1e466-2e42-42d0-9cf1-26eb267f8723.html

Breaking: Delaware Division of Corporations Set To Expose Trump’s Delaware-Based Money Laundering Operations

In a break with tradition, Delaware Division of Corporations is prepared to draw back the curtain of secrecy that has protected criminal operations through impenetrable webs of anonymous corporations. Division of Corporations Marketing Director, Cynthia Kane, announced the change in a press release early Tuesday.
"The State of Delaware is a leading domicile for U.S. and international corporations. More than 1,000,000 business entities have made Delaware their legal home. As such, we have a responsibility to root out criminal enterprises which threaten the system by bringing disrepute to the Division of Corporations and the entire State of Delaware"
According to sources within the Division Secretary of State, Jeffrey W. Bullock, is prepared to initiate sweeping changes in the agency's secrecy policies by fully investigating whether Donald Trump's web of Llcs and shell corporations have been laundering money for the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The secrecy of Delaware's Division of Corporations has recently been brought to light by reporting on the Delaware Call.

So...this means that McConnell is pedophile that drinks the blood of christian babies. Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.  'Cancer for the Republican Party': McConnell condemns 'loony lies' in swipe…

What is Delaware’s Trumpiest District?

If you guessed that the trumpiest district in Delaware is the 40th, you are correct. The 40th, occupies the lowest/western most part of Suxco. In terms of what separates humanity from the beasts of the field, it is truly a blighted wasteland. When Australians call something "the dag end" they are taking a term from sheep farming that describes the area where shit collects around a sheep's ass making it a disgusting matted mess when it comes time to sheer the sheep. The 40th is the dag end of Delaware. 68% of voters in the 40th turned out for Trump this year.

Song of the Day 2/1: Laura Nyro, “Stoney End”

For reasons that are obvious to me, if nobody else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6diadP-g_7s Even more than Randy Newman, Laura Nyro was a singer's songwriter. Despite her soaring mezzo-soprano voice and compositions that…

First Delco replaced "Delaware County, PA".    It was cool.  It gave this quirky place its own branding.  Now we are seeing Montco in place of the tiresome writing out of  Montgomery County.  Like any copy...not as good as the original. Seeing the writing on the wall,  we are getting ahead of the trend and jumping directly to: Newcco, Kenco, and Suxco.     Sucks to be you, Suxco.

Today is the first day of Black History Month, and I have to admit that the amount of Black History & Civil Rights history I am familiar with is pitiful.   For instance, I just learned about the Dockum Drug Store sit in about an hour ago.

Dockum Drug Store Sit-In

When the Dockum Drug Store sit-in first happened in July 1958, few heard about it or recognized its importance. The sit-in was a student-led effort to end segregation. The two local daily newspapers published little about it, avoiding the negative association with the protest. The local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gave moral support, but did not participate in the student effort. Despite the silence surrounding the event, the students claimed their place in Kansas and national history.
