DL Open Thread: Tuesday, July 13, 2021

A bunch of rats are now pretending that they were the secretly opposing Trump from within the West Wing.  How are they doing it?  By testifying?  By bringing charges?  No, by feeding gossipy shit to Michael Wolff and Bob Woodward.

Giuliani assembled the Trump campaign legal team in a room that overflowed with trash and had a ‘rotting smell,’ a new book says

“The room had not been cleaned since Election Day, eleven days before,” the book said. “Refuse filled the trash cans and overflowed onto the floor. There was a heavy sour or rotting smell — in the trash was a week-old Buffalo chicken sandwich — mixed with Giuliani’s reliable farting.”

Trump called AG Bill Barr a ‘phony’ who would ‘lick the floor if I asked him to,’ book says


Via BoingBoing:

Representative Adam Kinzinger had a field day on Jake Tapper’s show, referring to MTG and Lauren Boebert, two of the horse people of the Qnut apocalypse, as “garbage politicians” and “absolute clown politicians.”

“If you’re a Republican voter, do not listen to Marjorie Taylor Greene,” he begged. “The vaccine is safe, COVID is real, get vaccinated. Because if you are going to listen to the outrage, by the way, in March, she’s [Taylor Greene] was bragging about Donald Trump creating the vaccine and now she’s saying basically the vaccine is going to kill you.”

“I call on Leader [Kevin] McCarthy, I call on every leader in the Republican Party to stand up, say get vaccinated, and to call out these garbage politicians — these absolute clown politicians playing on your vaccine fears for their own selfish gain,” he concluded.


Reparations of a sort.

Maybe Some Federal Money for Capping 95 in Wilmo

Officials are looking to spend significantly to address transportation infrastructure which has created societal divides, in cities like Wilmington where interstate highways run directly through communities.

Delaware’s U.S. Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester is working with U.S. Representative Dwight Evans (D-Pennsylvania) to try and send communities like Wilmington and Philadelphia $3 billion to reconnect.

“The purpose of legislation is really to go back and fix some of the wrongs from before, when communities were separated by I-95 going through them,” Blunt Rochester said Monday. “This bill is really to do three things: it is to provide grants for community engagement and education; and then it’s about planning; and lastly about infrastructure itself, and making sure that we are connecting those communities–for all kinds of reasons. Everything from environmental justice and health, to economics and making sure that the economy is strong, and also to make sure that our neighborhoods are healthy.”


Texas Democrats Arrive in Washington to Pressure Weak-Ass DC Dems to Fight for Voting Rights  Texas House Democrats have left the state in a second attempt to block controversial Republican legislation that critics have slammed as voter suppression.

“We are coming to DC to put pressure on them to act, because this isn’t just Texas,” Texas Democratic state Rep. John Bucy III told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
“All over the South and in Republican states, we are seeing voter suppression bills. We need Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act,” said Bucy, who unlike his colleagues set off the long drive from Texas to the US capital.
