DL Open Thread: Friday, April 30, 2021
Dang, I've got one of those spring/summer colds. I've decided that the 'cure' of Mucinex is worse than the 'disease'. It's the rare drugged-out feeling that I don't like...hopefully it…

DL Open Thread Wednesday April 28th 2021
A so-called audit of the 2020 election in Arizona is, predictably, bonkers.
Does it feel like some Delaware stores are just ignoring the plastic bag ban?
As a steam train runs on boiling water, the right wing bonkers machine runs of the rage of old white people. In today’s boiler, a New York Post reporter just flat out made up a story about Kamala Harris. And Fox News is outraged….OUTRAGED that they are the only news outlet covering the latest John Kerry scandal.
But first, Smyrna goes full 2nd Amendment Freedom Town.

DL Open Thread Tuesday April 27th 2021
Today's open thread includes my pick to run against Kevin Hensley in the 9th. (Hint: rhymes with Jave Jarter.) That Arizona is "auditing" the election which Joe Biden won is some fucking punk-ass, sore loser bullshit. On the bright side, at least they are doing a terrible job and the whole thing will become a festering boil that will never heal.
In the "well this sucks" file, New York state came just 89 residents short of maintaining all of its congressional districts. It also lost an electoral college vote.
Buy a house in Italy for one measly euro. But first - the most Coonsian headline and nonsensical lede paragraph ever!
