DL Open Thread Wednesday April 5 2023
Hey There,
Before we rundown the daily shitshow, take a minute and read this post and consider which organization you are going to support
We know about 400 people on any given day read DL’s coverage of Leg Hall, campaign coverage and other timely shit, so we’re only asking for a handful to support DL by stepping up to support some other fine organizations.
Oh Look, Trump’s Sons Suddenly Care About Judicial Conflicts of Interest!
The daughter of the judge overseeing Trump’s criminal case worked for Democrats. Nevermind that Clarence Thomas’ wife literally tried to overturn an election.
Putin Is No Longer ‘Sane,’ Says Kremlin Insider Who Fled the Country
A Russian officer who worked closely with Vladimir Putin as a captain in the Federal Guard Service has defected and is now spilling the Kremlin’s secrets.
A non-MAGA attended the DEGOP’s anti-electric car pep rally featuring their go-to science doofus. It didn’t go well for the DEGOP.
I attended the town mall meeting March 21 at the Indian River Senior Center in Millsboro organized by Delaware Republicans to generate opposition to Gov. Carney’s proposed lower-emission vehicle program, requiring that dealers offer a growing percentage of electric vehicles starting with model year 2026 and concluding in 2035 when all new vehicles offered for sale must be electric.
The meeting was moderated by Rep. Rich Collins, R-Millsboro, flanked by Sen. Gerald Hocker. Collins stated: “We need to follow the science, folks. We need to work with correct information to make such an important decision.” The science expert Collins introduced was Dr. David LeGates, whose presentation focused on casting doubt on the severity of climate change and the human causes of global warming. He stated that carbon dioxide is plant food and not a pollutant. In the waning months of his administration, climate change denier Donald Trump appointed LeGates as deputy assistant secretary of commerce for observation and prediction at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I encourage everyone to google David LeGates and come to their own conclusions as to his motives and affiliations.
Holy SHIT! I just heard the clip of Lindsay Graham crying and begging for donations for “Billionaire” Trump’s legal defense.
This may be falling apart too fast.

Noticed the oil state Republicans are on the war path for electric vehicles and now seek to demonize them. Cool, stand on the wrong side of history yet again and set the stage for failure. It seems to be spreading. Admit “Carbon Dioxide is plant food” really got me as a reminder there is always another level of stupidity.
They like plant food because they’re only one step up from vegetables themselves.
