Quick Q before we start this week…What’s your spirit flower? I’m a daffodil. I know that’s a hackey, obvious flower but I didn’t pick it. The daffodil picked me. Anyhoo…I mention that here because we are now just weeks away from my heyday. Whatever flower you are, (Azalea, Tulip, Poppy, Sunflower, Rose, Orchid, Iris, Peony, Chrysanthemum, Geranium, Lily, Lotus, Dandelion, Hyacinth, Daisy, Crocus?)
enjoy your self. Take in your beauty. Allow your spirit flower to remind you that life is wondrously beautiful.
Trump brought his shitshow to Florence SC, where he openly mentioned his plans to use his next term of office to create a dictatorship.
“We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States. The deep state must and will be brought to heel.” — Trump proposes a drastic expansion of presidential power
Critical reforms! All the bean counters and generals that who refused to install him as King need to go.
Say what you will about the tenants of Trumpism, but at least it is an ethos.

My annual “Fuck Iowa” post is late this year.
This is the best truism I found all of last week. The mistake we make when fascism is in the process of taking over a country is to say – they can’t be serious. They’re serious.
Bolden, Bush, Schwartzkopf and Smith Sink Marijuana Legalization Bill
FWIW – I linked to BlueDelaware today because it is a good reminder that of all the votes that sank Marijuana legalization, the worst is Bolden’s.
Knowing what we know about the whole proudly racist history of the war on drugs, that she could (by not voting) vote to keep the war alive is, to me, shocking.
Spirit flower? I’ll be a Snapdragon!
You got it.
Congrats to the men’s and women’s Blue Hens basketball teams. We’ll see them in the NCAA Tournament later this week!
The more we dig into this Fort Dupont land deal the worse it gets. And watch what happens next. This is a sicko state. Make no mistake.
The only two things good about Delaware right now. The Kerri Harris house campaign in the near term. And, long term, studies indicate clearly, we’ll be one of the first places on the eastern seaboard to be reclaimed by the sea.
Jah bless.
