DL Open Thread Monday June 28th 2021 – Biden Badly Bungles Bridge Buttressing Bill
Lucy is always going to pull that football away. You and I see it so clearly, but Biden, Coons and the entire DC media thinks that if only Charlie Brown just tried a little harder…

New York prosecutors set deadline for Trump on legal action – report
New York prosecutors have given lawyers for Donald Trump 24 hours to respond with any last arguments as to why criminal charges should not be filed against his family business, according to a report on Sunday.
The deadline set for Monday was another strong signal that the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance, and the New York attorney general, Letitia James, are considering criminal charges against the former president’s company as an entity, according to sources quoted by the Washington Post.
“criminal charges against the former president’s company ”
Since when can you file criminal charges against a “company,” rather than an individual? What are they going to do, lock up the corporate seal?
I’d never heard of it either, but it’s a thing:

The honeymoon’s just about over for me.
He’s already done more in six months than I expected in four years.
The media has always dropped the ball in reporting on Trump rallies. This one got the usual write-up, instead of honest reporting that would have highlighted the crowd’s boredom.
But the proof is on video: People were streaming out of the place while Trump was still speaking.
Thanks for that. Knowing that this clip is killing Trump makes me happy.
Fuck corporate America. Remember when corporations pretended they were going to pull funding from insurrection-supporting politicians? Sucker!
Especially fuck Toyota, which leads the way in stampeding back to the Party of Sedition, and issued a mealy-mouthed bunch of bullshit to justify it.

I’m surprised that Toyota is supporting Republicans since they are promoting a wider range of hybrid vehicles and EVs. Sounds more Democratic than Republican. Wonder why?
Probably related to keeping unions out of the assembly plants:
Toyota Vehicles Made in the USA
Toyota Sienna (Princeton, Indiana)
Toyota Sequoia (Princeton, Indiana)
Toyota Highlander (Princeton, Indiana)
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (Georgetown, Kentucky)
Toyota Camry (Georgetown, Kentucky)
Toyota Avalon (Georgetown, Kentucky)
Toyota Tacoma (San Antonio, Texas)
Toyota Tundra (San Antonio, Texas)
Toyota Corolla (Blue Springs, Mississippi)
Nope, the Japanese and Europeans don’t really fear unions as the unions there never had an adversarial view of the company, more of a working relationship.
Well, look at those states. I’m sure influencing a bunch of secessionist members of congress is just good business.
Delaware Bribes Chinese Pharma Company To Locate Plant In Delaware:

To be built on farmland in the Middletown area.
Special thanks to all of those legislators who voted for SB127 (Site Readiness Bill) and their willingness to support more Chamber of Commerce and Corporate panhandling. Special thanks to the House Economic Development Committee failure to release HB 10 AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT TO PHASE-OUT CORPORATE GIVEAWAYS ACT. which would’ve limited access to the taxpayers’ wallets. Special shout out to the new secrecy surrounding Delaware’s Economic Development Council and the Prosperity Partnership. If the taxpayer isn’t aware they’re being robbed why bother alarming them they can always come up with more money for Amazon and JP Morgan et.al. if they work a little harder.

It’s a fucking disgrace. Do they really believe that a $500 million plant would live or die based on a $19 million giveaway?
The article makes pretty clear that they steered this to Middletown because Ken Branner gives the best head.
