Shit covered romaine lettuce and this gas leak (that could have been a gas leak with a catastrophic explosion) are probably not related to 20 years of "cutting regulations" that are "choking businesses." Right?

PENNSVILLE, N.J. (AP) — A chemical leak shut down the Delaware Memorial Bridge in both directions Sunday evening, bringing traffic on a major East Coast artery to a standstill on one of the busiest travel days of the year. The leak stems from the Delaware chemical production facility Croda Atlas Point, located near the twin suspension bridges on a major route between Washington and New York City, Holloway Terrace Fire Company Public Information Officer George Greenley said. The leaked chemical is ethylene oxide, a highly flammable gas that is a finished product stemming from methanol, Greenley said.

It has been a rough couple of years. Trump has put stress on our democratic systems that it was not built to endure. But rising up to challenge the worst…

As with many of Trump's actions, it is tempting to point and laugh. However, this stunt has established a precedent. The President now has the authority to order 6,000 active-duty troops around the country. It is a newly established Presidential power that is worth noting.

On a FB thread, I recently asked a Trump supporter* "What would Trump have to do for you to change your mind about him? Is there anything that could make you say, Yeah..I was wrong about Trump." The Trump supporter couldn't think of anything.

I'm just going to cut & pasting this whole thing including the first comment. You should probs comment over at BlueDE if you are inclined ot comment. BY CASSANDRAM NOVEMBER…

On this day in 1918, German leaders sign the armistice ending World War I, a conflict so terrible it was called "The War to End All Wars." It was a day full of hope. But the allies bungled the ensuing peace, so another world war erupted a measly 20 years later. Now the day is set aside to honor veterans, of which we have a never ending supply thanks to continuous bungling. (...or there is there some devious logic to it? Hmmm...?) Anyhoo - THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE, DONVITI! Enjoy your free oil change. In other open thread goodness... Here is a piece from Salon by Lucian Truscott IV (don't thank him for his service). I whole-heartedly agree with these points:

Over the years that I traveled to Southeast Missouri to go canoeing and fishing, the Democratic Party began its strategy of concentrating on the “battleground states.” You’d watch the political coverage, and it was all Florida and Ohio and Pennsylvania. Democrats went from contesting the whole country in elections to counting on holding the Northeast and West and what did they call it before it fell in 2016? Oh yeah, I remember. The “blue wall” in the “rust belt:” Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Read it all fellow bunglers.
