Trump To Get Brownback Out Of Kansas.  To become America’s Beacon of Religious Liberty.  I cannot make this stuff up.

Mooch Vs. Reince.  Trump has found his enforcer. His mission?: To lance Reince.  By labeling him the Leaker-In-Chief. Including the leaking of business documents pertaining to Da Mooch. Mooch calls for FBI investigation.

Koch Brothers Gear Up To Realize Corporate Tax Windfall.  Featuring planting of so-called grassroots activists at town hall meetings.

Why Trump’s Ban On Transgendered In Military Is Almost Certainly Unconstitutional.  That is, if he even follows through with an Executive Order.

US Sanctions On Russia Work, According To Putin Adviser.  This Trump-Putin thing may not work out after all…

The Skinny Repeal Bill That Will Likely Pass The Senate.  Yes, it sucks, but the bill itself is less important to Rethugs than getting something passed to be made even worse in House-Senate discussions.

What do you want to talk about?

    I wonder if there is a threshold for embarrassment for the Trumpublicans. I mean ordinary observation reveals a white trash reality show. Guess people like that sort of thing. He speaks his mind lol.

  2. Paul Hayes says:

    As US sanctions “work” against Russia, what will Russian oligarchs dream up to “counter” this American move against Putin (and them)? Russia is a country that has given birth to more than its fair share of chess geniuses. I think there a lot of people thinking three moves ahead geopolitically. Are we?

    I like Bryan Townsend but never quite understood his high profile on this Coastal Zone stuff? Thought he would put up more opposition. I know folks in his district need jobs, but still surprised he was prime sponsor of this bill.

    Nice concern trolling.

    Theo Gregory: “people who know me are surprised by my humility and reluctance to talk about myself.”

  7. mouse says:

    Does DNREC have any legal authority to create conditions for development like buffering wetlands?

  8. chris says:

    Theo Gregory Op-ed is priceless. A real gem!

  9. RE Vanella says:

    Yeah, that’s a real hoot. It’s easy when all you need to do is convince yourself. What a clown. He’s gone and good riddance.

    Unfortunately, like at the circus, there are several more clowns in the car. I think Sam Guy should wear oversized red shoes and a rubber nose while council is in session.

  10. chris says:

    Yes, well said. Ringling Brothers may have closed but Sam Guy still driving the clown car in the city of Wilmington.

  11. Paul Hayes says:

    Mouse, there was a case about this in Sussex within the last 10 years. DNRC got trimmed. They wanted 100-150 ft. setbacks and ended up with only 50ft setbacks.

  12. Paul Hayes says:

    Could the admin. please change the top photo? I want to erase him from my life. No kidding, could you? Something non-trumpian please. How about up and coming progressive dems? Can’t be that hard to change.

  13. Ben says:

    Second.

  14. Jason330 says:

    Ok. I’lm a little tired of it as wel.

  15. ben says:

    I nominate the picture of him getting on the plane where you can see his Depends outline, but The Mooch’s face where the arse should be.

  16. Ben says:

    I like the new look!

  17. Dana says:

    The new site design is OK, but I’m not sure that it’s “you.” It looks similar to a lot of other sites. It’s a decent enough design, but nothing that looks uniquely Delaware Liberal.
