How many seats will Democrats pick up in 2020? Republican incumbents will benefit from John Carney's leadership. Because bi-partisanship is seen as a virtue above all virtues, John Carney will do everything he can to make the remaining Republicans seem like a viable political party and "a trusted partner in governing." Also, as astonishing as it is to you and me in the age of Trump, there is a lot of collegiality and protecting fellow members of the incumbent club in Leg Hall. We saw that this year as dumb-fuck Democrats rallied around the campaign finance criminal Mike Ramone, and the execrable* Greg Lavelle. Additionally, the low hanging fruit has been picked. So it will be difficult for Democrats to repeat the success of 2018. Difficult, but not impossible. While Dems only have one slam-dunk pickup in 2020 (Cloutier SD5), there are factors that point to another potential Blue Wave in Delaware. John Carney's weak leadership aside, the Delaware Democratic Party is on the move. Chairman ERS, and Executive Director Jesse Chadderdon ...

With the help of the crazy man-baby in the White House, Delaware Democrats TROUNCED Delaware Republicans in 2018. But can they keep the momentum rolling in 2020? While some factors point to continuing Dem pickups, other factors will make it difficult for Dems to keep the flywheel turning. Making pickups an uphill fight for Democrats is the fact that there are far fewer targets of opportunity for Democrats in 2020. In New Castle County only Michael Smith, Jeff Spiegelman, Kevin Hensley, and Mike Ramone remain in the house. Ramone has been exposed for the fraud and crumb-bumb that he is. I'd rate him as beatable. After that, it looks like ...

Trump, of course, is an asshole. But I don't get the wage slave anglo manager in this story. He heaps abuse on workers like he has more in common with Trump than he has with the workers. I'm here to tell you Bruv, aside from melanin you don't have shit in common with Trump.

There have been a few high profile court cases, and a great deal of public debate recently dealing with time travel. Is it real, or an elaborate and lucrative hoax?…

Ken Simpler would still be Delaware's Treasurer if he had a portion of Ammon Bundy's integrity.

Ammon Bundy, the rancher at the center of a 2016 standoff with the government at an Oregon wildlife preserve, said he is leaving the militia movement after criticizing President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Bundy shut down his social media accounts and announced that he was stepping away from “patriot groups,” BuzzFeed News reported Thursday.

He said the decision comes after he faced fierce backlash for opposing Trump’s attacks on a caravan of migrants.

"It's like being in a room full of people in here, trying to teach, and no one is listening," he told the outlet. "The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don't want to associate myself with warmongers."

Bundy said it was “incorrect” for Trump to characterize the group of Central American migrants traveling toward the U.S. as “all criminal.”

"To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — he has basically called them all criminals and said they’re not coming in here. ... It seems that there’s been this group stereotype,” Bundy said in a video posted to Facebook.

If these convicted Wilm Trust criminals had been caught with $5.00 of weed on them while being black, they'd be headed to jail for sure.

There's no guarantee that four former executives of the only financial institution to be criminally charged in connection with the federal bank bailout program will be sentenced to prison for fraud. But even if a judge orders prison time for the former Wilmington Trust officials at their sentencings later this month, they won't be led away in handcuffs.

In collaboration with DelawareLiberal.net, Tino G the sound guru and an unnamed patron operating in deep undercover behind enemy lines, I will be producing a podcast for you folks. Temporarily called In the Belly of the Beast, an episode will drop once a week beginning in the New Year. Political talk mostly, also some cultural and local art stuff. Conservation will focus on a wide variety of progressive and leftist commentators and activists. The goal is really to support solidarity in this state among all groups standing against the fascist and the corporate and the dumb. (If you think we'll be trashing you personally by name, you're right. We will be doing that.) As this is a DIY/Gonzo type effort I wanted to extend a request should someone want to get involved in this venture. So...
