Sorry about the comments approval shit
Fact is this is a leaky old boat. We might have to leave it up for the archives and more onto a newer model for posting and commenting.
REV talks with Atnre Alleyne
“Mike Matthews situation” is listed in the show notes, so I’ll have to listen to see if Atnre cops to the media take-down he pulled off.
Also, for the record, I have first hand knowledge of the fact that Teensharp is doing some good work.
“Dems in Crisis” Narratives Running Rampant, Natch
Phillies great Mike Schmidt described playing in Philadelphia as experiencing “the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day.”
As a proud Democrat, I can relate to that sentiment. Republicans are always in attack mode and the media is always eager to internalize every GOP attack and enshrine every conservative talking point as unassailable conventional wisdom.
In turn, Dem “moderates” “strategists” and “consultants” are always eager to rush to show how much they agree with the GOP talking points.
So is this morning’s biggest threat to the Republic Trump and his half-assed coup? Is it the worsening pandemic? No. Of course not.
It is AOC. It is the term “Defund the Police”
How horrible are Tom Carper and Chris Coons?
This horrible. They joined Republicans to vote in favor of seating Trump appointed judges during this lame duck session. The Senate meets at 11 a.m. to resume consideration of the nomination of Aileen Mercedes Cannon to be U.S. district judge for the Southern District of Florida. At noon, the Senate will vote on a motion […]
President-Elect Biden Addresses the Nation and World on a Great Night for Wilmington
There will be time enough for examining the new political terrain in Delaware, but for now I’m just going to relax and enjoy the moment.
We watched the speeches and fireworks/drones from the Outlets parking lot. It was wonderful. Wilmington looked awesome. The vibe was great.
Folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory. A victory for we, the people.
We won with the most votes ever cast on a presidential ticket in the history of the nation: 74 million. Well, I must admit it surprised me. Tonight, we are seeing all over this nation, all cities and all parts of the country, indeed across the world, an outpouring of joy, of hope, renewed faith in tomorrow to bring a better day.
And I’m humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify. Who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.
Why is the Return to Shitty Leadership in the DE House Acceptable?
In a year when we got new leadership in the Senate, and had historic wins for progressives in the house – we accept the same shitty, cops in house leadership. Why?
I’m seriously asking. Why is Pete Schwartzkopf the Speaker of the Delaware House?
Biden Delays Announcement in Misguided Attempt to Build Legitimacy Among Republicans
I get it. But delaying is misguided because he will never gain legitimacy among Republicans. All the “we need to work together” malarky is great for the pundits, but c’mon… We all know Republicans are irredeemable. Cue the fireworks, claim your mandate, Joe, and move forward.
Next Generation of Progressive Leadership Takes Over DE Senate
Delaware Senate Democrats selected new leadership ahead of the 151st General Assembly.
The 14-member Majority Caucus chose Sen. Dave Sokola as President Pro Tempore, Sen. Bryan Townsend as Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Elizabeth “Tizzy” Lockman as Senate Majority Whip.
The new legislative session will begin on January 12, 2021.
Nobody needs Democrats who actively frustrate the expressed will of the voters. When voters elect Democrats, they expect progress, not excuses.
That’s not how that works.
A theme of Republicanism is a showy, prideful ignorance about how things actually work. Elections, climate change, social security, on and on. .
It is more pronounced under Trump, but it has always been there.
Well…?
Voters did some good here in Delaware. There is that. Congratulations to Sarah, Kyle, Spiros, Marie, Larry, Rae, Krista, Madinah & Eric. We are a better state this morning. To others that worked hard but fell short. Thank you. Not winning is sad, but not trying is tragic.
Nationally…I allowed myself to believe that Biden’s unity message could break through America’s carapace of willful ignorance. So much for that. Biden can still win, but he’ll win the Presidency of a country wrecked by stupidity and greed. Huzzah!
Delaware Elects First-ever Transgender State Senator
Delaware elected the nation’s first-ever transgender state senator Tuesday night when LGBT activist Sarah McBride won a senate seat in a landslide. McBridge won her race with about three-fourths of the vote in Delaware’s first state senate district. According to Politico, 30-year-old McBride is set to become the nation’s most senior elected official who is […]
What (else) is on the ballot?
Whatever happens America will be a will be a very different country on Wednesday. It will be a country that looked into the abyss and said “no thanks” or one that looked in the abyss and said “why not?” Also…
Economics: Several states will consider ballot initiatives intended to reduce economic inequality, including: a measure to establish a $15 minimum wage in Florida; a step toward a more progressive income tax in Illinois; higher taxes on the affluent in Arizona; and property taxes on businesses in California.
Puerto Rico statehood: American citizens in the territory will vote in a non-binding initiative to signal whether they want the island to become a state. If it passes, a future Congress is more likely to add two new states — Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
Justice Democrats: They’ve endorsed five House candidates trying to win election for the first time. Perhaps the most intriguing: Kara Eastman, who’s running in a swing district in Nebraska.
The ability of Uber and Lyft to take advantage of employees:. “Gig economy” companies are backing an initiative that would allow them to continue paying their drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, saying it’s vital to the business model. Many labor unions oppose the measure, saying it would prevent drivers from earning a living wage.
Ranked-choice voting: Voters in Alaska, Massachusetts and a handful of cities will decide whether to adopt ranked-choice voting, which makes it easier to vote third party without undermining a major-party candidate. Currently, only Maine uses the system statewide.
Marijuana/Shroom Legalization: Arizona, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota will consider versions of marijuana legalization, while Oregon and Washington, D.C., will vote on whether to ease restrictions on mushrooms.
Rounding the Coroner
With with 231K dead Americans, that Trump has any kind of shot of winning ANY states goes to show what a truly fucked up shithole country we’ve become. Digging out of the Trump disaster is going to take decades.
