Inside The Bizarre Cult That Democrats Have Pledged Not To Talk About. There are only about 1650 members nationwide. One has been nominated for the Supreme Court. But the D’s have unilaterally decided it’s off limits. Barr’s Hit Job Report Won’t Be ‘Ready’ Before Election. Translation: There’s no ‘there’ there. Alaska Now A Senate Battleground. […]
Delaware’s Most (Only?) Intriguing Races Of 2020: Part One
Fewer than usual, thanks to the implosion of the Rethuglican Party in Delaware. Not even Chris Kenny’s cash infusions can save most of them, indeed, may not save any of them. Even the least effective Democratic legislative challenger has a chance to win, just by the overwhelming D turnout advantage. But that’s for later. Let’s […]

Pence Wouldn’t Shut Up. Couldn’t Acknowledge Fly: Off (the fly) flew, and on Pence droned. He never exhibited any awareness — not the subtlest glance upward, not the slightest flinch or twitch — that his head had been colonized. I first found this strange and then realized it was everything. Pence’s years of obsequiousness to […]
VP Debate Open Thread
We already got a preview from Scott Walker (the Wisconsin one), who aided in debate prep for Pence. It’s gonna be that Trump somehow prevented 2 million deaths b/c Trump stopped travel from China (which he didn’t), and that, if Biden had his way, 2 million more would be dead. Pence is no pushover–he’s a […]

Will The Last Infected Remaining WH Staffer Please Have The Doctor Turn Off The Lights? Stephen Miller, the Joint Chiefs? I’m coming around to the notion that G-d and I share the same sense of humor. Biden At His Best. That Gettysburg Address may have been the best of his career. Never mentioned Trump. What […]

Home Comes The Deranged. Sickly Would-Be Strongman Stages Unmasked And Unhinged Performance. Unmasked and unhinged, maybe…but his tan is back, courtesy of His Tan-ic Majesty’s Request. Trump Blows Chance For Campaign Reset. Wishful thinking from those who knew better. The Invisible Staff Who Trump Willingly Endangers. Permanent career staff, all placed at risk by everyone […]

Trump’s Joy Ride Pisses Off Secret Service. Taking a bullet is one thing. Being exposed to a deadly virus b/c the President wants to wave at his base is quite another: “Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days,” tweeted James P. […]

Trump’s Doing Great. Trump’s In Danger. Thanks for clearing that up. Is This An Indoor Super-spreader Event? They’d better hope that Barrett can’t be reinfected. Trump doesn’t wear a mask–you don’t wear a mask. Lemmings. Nobody In The White House Knows Anything. Because nobody ‘in charge’ tells them anything. President’s ‘body man’ tests positive. Gabe […]
Cathy Cloutier: Astonishingly Inept
No, don’t take my word for it. You simply must watch this League of Women Voters forum featuring Cathy and Kyle Evans Gay, and Sarah McBride and Steven Washington. While watching, keep in mind that, of the four, Cathy is the only one to have held elective office…since 1999. 21 years. OK, now watch the […]

‘Who’s The Victor, Vector?’: Vexed Vector Virtually Vanquished. Make no mistake: Trump was the vector, starting in March when he renounced mask-wearing. Once you spit out the three-eyed fish, the election is over. Which is figuratively what the (arguably) human Super-Spreader has done. My favorite touch?: Biden going to Grand Rapids. I have a couple […]

‘Suddenly, He’s Not Half The Man He Used To Be’. Trump 2020 vs. Trump 2016. BTW, didja know that perhaps the most common side effect of snorting adderall in men is–erectile dysfunction? Now you do. ‘I Refuse To Recuse’. Amy Coney Barrett on considering cases related to the 2020 election. How Trump Is Using ‘Voter […]
DL Flashback: How Cathy Cloutier Literally Abandoned Gay Rights Supporters. Not Once, But TWICE
Before the hors d’oeuvres and the main course of the meal, we begin with an amuse bouche from the bouche of Cathy Cloutier. More precisely, her website: Common sense. That’s what drives my decision making in Dover. Not political party demands. Not fear. Not distracting noise from Washington, D.C. Simply, does my “yes” or “no” […]

Trump Blows Up Debate. Trump Blows Up Debate. Trump Blows Up Debate. He may not have had a strategy, but if voters throw up their hands and stay home, it could redound to his benefit. Don’t think it will, though. Guy’s insane. Proved it. Quick polls indicate that Biden ‘won’ the shit show. Trump Boosts […]
