This "patriotsfordelaware.com" site reads like typical GOP dumbassery with all the flags and calls to empty flag worship.  But there is something troubling going on here.  The focus appears to…

The news is tiring again today, but some light breaks through and change is possible as Maryland repealed the state’s police bill of rights. Also, on this date in 1743 Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States (1801-09), was born in Albemarle County, Virginia. All drunk on the Enlightenment, he wrote "all men are created equal". Of course he meant American born white men of property were equal to Brittish born white men of property, but we commoners had our own interpretation. And a fellow commoner named Abe Lincoln worked to lock in the more expansive meaning, so Happy Birthday Thomas, you red-headed devil!

Very lackluster open thread this morning. All the more room for you to thread away. But first.... colonialism and slavery are still super popular in the the USA. How else can you explain the way we train our cops?

The prosecuting attorneys are doing a fine job, and don't need any help from me, but if I was on the prosecution team, this is how the rest of the trial would go down.

[Sound of a gavel]

Judge: Let's continue.

ME: Your honor, can we let the jury take five while I ask you and the defense team a quick question?

Judge: This is highly unusual, but I'll allow it. But be careful McCoy.

[Bailiffs remove the jury.]

ME: Ha. Good 'Law and Order' reference, judge. Anyway... Chauvin's defense attorney, Mr. Nelson is doing a shit job. All he seems to have is this idea that George Floyd died of a drug induced heart attack and not a 9 minute to knee to the throat as MANY experts have now testified.

Judge: Please get to your point.

ME: My point is that we can wrap this up right quit if I put my knee on Mr. Nelson's neck for 9 minutes. If he lives - he is right and Chauvin is innocent. If he dies, then Chauvin killed Floyd and he is guilty as fuck.

Judge: I'm going to admonish you not to use profanity in my courtroom, but [turning to Nelson] he has a point Mr. Nelson. Your client is guilty as fuck. This may be the Hail Mary pass you need to win this thing.

NELSON: No thanks, your honor. We'll continue to pray that one of the jurors is a Trumper and is going to try some jury nullification or something.

Judge: Ok then. Bring the jury in and let's try and get out of here by five tonight.

"...By spring 1865, Confederates, who had ridden off to war four years before boasting that they would beat the North's money-grubbing shopkeepers in a single battle were broken and starving,…

In today's open thread we learn that Matt Gaetz sought a "blanket pardon" from outgoing President Pussy Grabber. You know, a blanket pardon ...like the kind all innocent people try to line up. Also: more Chauvin is guilty as fuck, team Biden continues to impress as Yellen makes case for a global minimum tax on multinational corporations, and other stuff.

Manchin says that he has 6 fellow Democrats on board to kill Biden's infrastructure bill as it is currently written. I'd be very surprised to learn that the Delaware Senate delegation isn't on board.

Florida is the floor of the American septic tank. Most of America's shit a great many of its shitty people (wealthy and impoverished) sink effortlessly into Florida. So in today's Open Thread, join me in a hearty "Fuck You" to Florida.

Spring at last, Spring at last, thank God Almighty...its Spring at last. In today's OpenThread: Chauvin is guilty as fuck, but will it matter? Florida is a literal shit hole.  Madison Cawthorn is just one of many Republicans voting no on stimulus, but pretending to be stimulus hero in their districts. Unopened Super Mario Bros. game from 1986 sells for $660,000. Are we entering a ‘fourth wave’ of the pandemic? But first, lost of news about America's least favorite near monopoly. 

Economists and Americans love it, but Carlson urges Fox viewers to not be deceived. Biden's infrastructure plan is actually pro-science, anti-white supremacy wolf in sheep's clothing.

“First and most obviously, is this really about infrastructure -- bridges, roads, airports, things we can actually use -- or is it yet another weird climate scheme-slash-power grab-slash-race-based redistribution plan,” the Fox host asked. “What exactly is this?”

Odd strategy. McConnell says no republicans will support Biden infrastructure plan, even before Collins, Coons and Murkowski could do their usual posturing and preening.
