Are Democrats Political Masochist?

Filed in National by on September 22, 2021 4 Comments

Why do Congressional Democrats always lose?  At this point it is logical to conclude that they get off on it.  The humiliation sessions are too regular, too ritualized to not be consensual.  It is all too easy to picture Coons, figuratively, bent over and chained to a desk while McConnell applies the figurative lash to […]

To “celebrate” Amazon’s tax subsidized boxwood opening, here is a roundup of Amazon headlines from around the world. FWIW – One of the chilling headlines below is the most chilling.  I wonder if we will agree on which? Amazon’s future on display with Boxwood opening Amazon reaches agreement with trade unions in Italy MILAN, Sept […]

Yes, Virginia – Julianne Murray’s AG Campaign is SUPER Racist

Filed in National by on September 21, 2021 1 Comment

She isn’t trying to hide the fact that she is running on a retrograde anti-black agenda with bloody shirt waving worthy of a KKK-type candidate.  Just look at the torrent of thinly veiled racism documented by TownSqauredelaware.com 

The ONLY real crimes are street crimes:  

“…important quest to make the streets and neighborhoods all over Delaware safe again.”

“…will work with law enforcement to keep violent criminals off the street.”

“…People are scared to walk the streets, they’re afraid to drive to Wilmington,”

“There’s so much that has to be done to make our streets safe again,”

It is us (whites) against them (blacks):

“…want an attorney general who will protect their rights and freedoms rather than attempt to take them away and impose a ‘woke’ agenda,”

“…Jennings declined to prosecute protestors arrested following the George Floyd shooting in Minneapolis.”

“… not prosecuting violent protesters.”

“…(will side) with the victims of crimes — not the criminals”

Song of the Day 9/21: Graham Parker, “You’ve Got to Be Kidding”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 21, 2021 0 Comments

Judging by the visitors to our comments section today, I’m guessing it’s walkabout day at the RWNJ adult-care center. They apparently take themselves very seriously, but if they expect anyone else to take them seriously, well, they can take it up with Graham Parker. This tune was on Parker’s debut LP, “Howlin’ Wind,” released in […]

I really have no stomach for the news. It’s all Biden getting hit in the kisser with McConnell and Manchin’s cream pies. Like this one, for example. Mitch McConnell says the GOP will vote for the US to default on its debt That’s bonkers, but Biden forced his hand, I guess.   Also…. WANKER CAUCUS […]

Julianne Murray’s ‘Patriots for Delaware’ to Explain Why Republicans Keep Losing Statewide in Delaware

Why do Republicans keep losing statewide by such lopsided margins in Delaware? Nefarious interference by the ghost of Hugo Chávez? DEGOP candidates and polices are widely hated by voters? I guess we’ll find out soon. They have “proof.”

DL Open Thread Monday September 20th 2021

Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11 takes a step closer.  (Which means the same idiots just took two steps backwards).

A ‘Missing White Girl!’ story dominated the weekend.  Meanwhile Native American women are missing, murdered and sexually assaulted at rates as high as 10 times the average in the United States—crimes overwhelmingly committed by individuals outside the Native American community.

Ted Lasso is a very good TV program.    And yet, I’m a little queasy about how streaming services model is taking over TV.

Floor is yours. I’m sure there is some campaign news someone wants to break here.

Song of the Day 9/19: Squeeze, “Tempted”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 19, 2021 0 Comments

Writers lazily compare Squeeze’s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook to John Lennon and Paul McCartney, but they worked more like a musical theater team — Difford wrote the lyrics, Tilbrook the music, like Bernie Taupin and Elton John. Tilbrook’s inventive melodies and genre-spanning compositions get most of the critical attention, but Difford could amaze in […]

DL Open Thread Sunday, Sept. 19, 2021

The conservative grift seems like such an easy dodge: Mouth a few idiotic slogans you didn’t even have to think up yourself, rake in the bucks (just ask Lauren Witzke). But there’s apparently some kind of secret code involved that prevents it from working for just anyone. For example, the crank yanker who organized a […]

Song of the Day 9/18: Nicki Minaj, “Anaconda”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 18, 2021 3 Comments

Given that Trinidadian rapper/twerker Nicki Minaj is now an expert on the Covid vaccine’s effect on the male reproductive organs, I thought readers might appreciate a look at her credentials. I’m not sure what her major was in college, but immunology doesn’t appear to have been her field of advanced study. I do think, however, […]

DL Open Thread: Saturday, September 18, 2021

Filed in Featured, Open Thread by on September 18, 2021 3 Comments

Rethugs Play Russian Roulette With Debt Ceiling.  Because they can, and because everything they do is purely and solely for political gain: McConnell has declared that Senate Republicans will not vote to increase the Treasury’s authority to continue borrowing, which is the same as voting to allow a default. As he has done before, McConnell […]

Has Murray’s “Tough on Blacks” AG Campaign Run Into Possible Legal Problems on Day One?

Has Murray’s “Tough on Blacks” AG Campaign Run Into Possible Legal Problems on Day One?

A Facebook commenter noticed something fishy about Murray’s campaign. “Patriots 4 Delaware” is not a nonprofit PAC but a for-profit corp whose registered agent shares Murray’s firm’s address.  This is prima facie evidence that she is breaking campaign finance laws already. Murray’s firm is small.  Murray plus two other lawyers.   One would have to […]

Park City Kathy Snubbed by Fellow Scumbags

McGuinness apparently asked to speak to a Republican Women’s group about her anticipated run for Gov, and got a big “Fuck no, you are a Democrat.” I know, right.  So many confused motherfuckers crowded into one sentence.
