Trump’s Troglodytes Head To Rehoboth. Their Constitutional right to infect others is being violated. I can’t emphasize this enough: The President is openly encouraging insurrection and violating the law. It’s only a matter of time before we have another Charlottesville. If natural selection is a ‘thing’, it’s time for it to kick in. Obama: Trump […]

Trump ‘Demands’ That Lindsey Graham Have Obama Testify About ‘Obamagate’. Graham says ‘Nyet’. Be careful what you wish for, indeed. I mean, could you imagine? BTW, a Trump war of words with Graham can only help the D who is running against Graham. This guy. He’s raised a lot of money, even outraised Graham in […]
Song Of The Day 5/15: David Crosby, “Almost Cut My Hair”
As Alby is in transit, today’s song is all about me. Oh, sure, I might have been short-changed in the height department, and I might be one or two (or so) pounds over my ideal weight, but there is no denying my Samsonesque locks. Women have been remarking about my hirsute hotness for decades now. […]
BREAKING: General Assembly To Reconvene ‘Virtually’ In Late May
Now get this straight: ‘Virtually’ and ‘virtuously’ are not synonyms. The House is scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday, May 26 and the Senate will reconvene on Wednesday, May 27. That’s about all we know so far. Time to dust off my ‘Pre-Game/Post-Game’ chops?

From an establishment figure who supported Graham until Graham abandoned McCain. Keep […]
The Delaware Liberal Occasional Political Weekly
The local political scene has been slowed immeasurably, but I’ve now got more than enough for an update. 1. Sarah McBride Gets Primary Challenger And General Election Opponent.

Trump Flees From Reporters. Notice how he spits out ‘China’ the same way the Church Lady spat out ‘Satan’. BTW, Asian-Americans used to vote for R’s in fairly solid numbers. Not any more. At least 77% are poised to vote against Trump. One more constituency gone. Keep in mind that he fled a press conference […]

How Conspiracy Theory Led To Funding Cut For Effective Pandemic Research. From 60 Minutes. Only in this administration could the conspiratorial ramblings of Rethug whack-job Matt Gaetz take precedence over, you know, science.
