Is Trump still President? Open Thread

Everyone makes mistakes. Smart people fix them, average people ignore them, dumb people pretend that the mistake wasn't really a mistake. Trump says he intentionally called Apple's Tim Cook "Tim…

I love Beto

Another Dem who can easily beat Trump (provided Dems don’t beat themselves) enters the race.

The UK is inching toward sanity

The 308 MPs that voted TO leave the EU without an agreement include a large number of what would be considered Republicans over here. That is to say, there were MPs who voted the way they did because they just want to FUCK SHIT UP (tm). Because fucking shit up owns the libs.

Once Again, Theresa May’s Brexit deal fails

With Theresa May in charge and ceding so much power to the UK version of our #MAGA brainiacs, the UK is fucked. The way forward is categorically ruling out a "no deal EU exit" and holding another referendum on EU membership. She can't do it though because her majority hangs by a thread which gives the lunatics all the power. I mean, she could - but that would take political guts, and when it comes to political guts, May makes John Carney look like Martin Luther King.

Delaware facing a widespread crisis of competence under Carney

First this:
NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP)- A Delaware prison released an inmate one night this week during a snowstorm. Twenty-eight-year-old Misty Toomey had only her sweat suit when she was released from the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution in New Castle. She had planned to meet with Delaware Mentor Program officials who would provide her with clothing, toiletries, and other items for her re-entry into society before a daytime release. Toomey's family and program officials also expected her to be released during the day. Toomey's midnight release comes after Delaware pledged to ensure released inmates have the needed resources to succeed outside of prison. State Department of Correction spokeswoman Jayme Gravell says the midnight release was unusual, but the prison has a "duty to release that person as quickly as possible."
Why is Delaware so terrible at getting shit right? I have a theory. It is that there is plenty of money - but our electeds are too chickenshit to go after it. That leaves agencies starved for funding and making fucked up choices like the one described above. Fucking terrible. Carney is a disaster.
