Coons will still fucking go on Fox News. You know he will. The guy just loves being Mr. Important. He loves being he guy with important bi-partisan insights cherished by all news outlet – even the news outlet that is not a news outlet but the propaganda arm of the GOP.

Rupert Murdoch gave Trump son-in-law/aide Jared Kushner access to “Fox confidential information about Biden’s ads,” apparently showing them to him before they were public.
Joe Manchin isn’t into labels, apparently. At least not political ones.
The West Virginia Senator went on a Fox News media run Sunday, where he refused to answer directly if he identifies as a member of the Democratic Party.
“I identify as an American,” Manchin said when asked repeatedly by host Maria Bartiromo if he still considered himself a Democrat. “I’m an American through and through.”
The Supreme Court will eventually rule that a Democratic President has no power to enact anything. But in the meantime….
Chip makers who want access to billions of dollars in new federal funding will first have to figure out how workers will access affordable child care, per a new requirement from the Commerce Department.
How it works: Companies who want to tap a slice of the $39 billion in funding set aside to build chip manufacturing plants will be required to submit a plan explaining how facility workers, as well as construction workers, will access child care, according to a presentation from the Commerce Department shared with Axios.
- The agency is agnostic on how companies get this done. They could build company-run onsite facilities, or outsource to a vendor. Companies could sponsor care directly or provide vouchers, discounts or cash.
Maybe the best/worst headline I’ve ever read in the Cape Gazette.
Dog waste dispensers could be coming to Rehoboth
Ew.
UK returns to the EU via Northen Ireland
Brexit geniuses never thought through how leaving he EU would work in Northern Ireland. This sounds like a step toward the whole of Britan getting back. I mean its hard to imagine Scottish, English and Welsh businesses being cool with the fact that Northern Ireland gets unfettered acces to europe and they don’t.
Here’s to the coming of the doggie doo disposal , many a flip flop clad New Yorker in Rehoboth will applaud this , the rest of us could literally give a shit. As for Coons the fault lies with us, until we come up with an obvious replacement the ass kissing will go on. So will that phrase that brings the rage: “My good friends in the Republican party”.
Is it me or does that headline read as if some machine in Rehoboth is going to dispensing dog poop?
That’s how I read it.
Receptacle would have been the better choice, having said that it does bring to mind assorted images of Board Walk Debacles.
I could fill pages and pages with Youth Pastors, Choir Directors and Priests. But oddly enough, they never seem to be Drag Queens in addition to Youth Pastors.

Delaware likely took a significant hit to its revenue stream today. US Supreme Court ruled DE could not continue to collect proceeds from abandoned or unclaimed Moneygram teller’s and agent’s checks from all over the country. Court ruled that under federal law the proceeds from these larger amount “money orders” go to State where purchased rather than DE. DE and complaining states will not have to sort out among themselves or before a Special Master what, if any, amounts DE owes to purchasing States for past payments made to DE. But regardless of amount from these back payments, going forward DE will lose this not insignificant flow of money into DE budget coffers.
Do you know the actual dollar amount?
The big liability is the potential for paying the back payments which the other States have sought. The Supreme Court opinion says the other States claim that between 2002-2017, DE took in $250 million that should have gone to the States of purchase for these unclaimed teller’s and agent’s checks. The rough math from this number is that DE is looking at about $17 million going away from DE each year, However, since 2018, the disputed proceeds from these particular unclaimed money orders have been paid into a NY escrow account, so for the last three years DE has for last few years DE has lived without the yearly $$ input it once took from these unclaimed instruments, Not a huge sum but not chump change,
Thanks. I agree, not chump change.
I propose we pay it with the money we were going to give away to corporations.
