‘Bad, Very Bad, German Cars’. He’s not talking the Volkswagen scandal, he’s PO’d that Germany successfully sells cars here. Oh, and they have a trade surplus. Must be their fault. Guy’s not just deranged, he’s a fucking idiot.

Real Rethug-Russian Collusion In the Election.  Oh, and there’s that name again: Roger Stone.

“What A Dump”.  DNREC Sec’y approves the dumping of ‘treated sewer outflow’ into the Atlantic Ocean. Didn’t even wait for the Friday news, um, dump.

Mayor Purzycki Focuses On West Center City.  What a unique concept. An elected official who actually wants to accomplish something.  So far, I like what he’s doing in Wilmington. Yes, I hear the gentrification arguments and share those concerns.  So I think we need to make sure that we’re not just dislocating people.  But I’m well aware of all the run-down properties with absentee landlords that bring down everybody’s quality of life in WCC.  What sayeth our readers from the City? My opinion? Mayor Mike needs to engage the people who live there and not try any type of ‘top-down’ revitalization, because that IS gentrification.  Cautiously optimistic.

Victims of Opioid Addiction Feel Betrayed By Trump.  Call them idiots if you want. But when presented with nothing from Hillary Clinton, not even a visit to their states, desperate people went for the snake-oil salesman. A major failure on Clinton’s part.

D’s Fall Short–Again. Yeah, yeah, I know. ‘Can you imagine such a close race in such a red district?’  Not enough. Just win, baby.  We should win the Special in Georgia. If not, I officially become an agnostic about even having a chance to take the House.

BTW, there are Friday news dumps, and then there are Friday news dumps before holidays.  Don’t know what it’ll be, but some strange shit’s gonna be dumped before the day is done.

What do you want to talk about?
