Soon we will be asked to accept that Brett Kavanaugh is a wise and even-handed judge

8 Comments
Chris Coons will be leading the march to rehabilitate Judge Drunky Blackout-Rapist. Why? Because we all have to pretend that the Supreme Court is virtuous, great and mighty and that the Senate that voted him in is dignified and above board. Pretend, pretend, pretend or it all comes crashing down. Duncan Black said it first, and better.
This will be the impulse if Kavanaugh is confirmed. For the good of the country, we must respect the majesty of the Senate and the glory of our constitution and most of all the supreme respectability and nonpartisanitude of the Supreme Court and the majest of the LAW. Whatever the reality. Pressures to conform will be high. Pointing out that the club is maggot infested garbage is the quickest way to get yourself kicked out of the club. It will still fall to assholes like me* on the internet.

A vote for Ken Simpler is a vote for Donald Trump

It is the so-called "decent" Republicans who are keeping Trump in office through their silent complicity. Every Republican who is not on the record is a Trump supporter. Every vote for a Trump supporter is a vote for Trump. A vote for Ken Simpler is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Ernesto Lopez is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Greg Lavelle is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Rob Arlett is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Scott Walker is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Bernard Pepukayi is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for James Spadola is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Bryan Kapitanic is a vote for Donald Trump. A vote for Colin Bonini ...
Colleen Davis could have used a primary

Colleen Davis could have used a primary

In style and substance Ken Simpler is the Brett Kavanaugh of Delaware politics. A vote for Simpler is a vote for Trump. He should be in the fight of his political life right now, he isn't. Colleen Davis announced her run against Simpler in June, then nothing. A primary race would have allowed her to get some earned media, sharpen her message, build her team, raise money and start hitting Simpler where he is weak - on the fact that he is a Trump-loving Republican. It cost $4,623.28 to file for Treasurer. That could have been a good early investment. That said, Kathy Jennings got a primary and where's her campaign?

Coons’ Version of Bipartisan Comity is Still a HUGE Load of Bullshit

Jack Markell is full of it as well. His 760,000 word editorial never addresses the fact that Coons' version of bipartisan comity is a sham because it will never be reciprocated by Republicans who haven't been on an Adventure Holiday to Africa with Coons, and who are ALSO not running for anything. While he allows early on that nothing will probably come of Coons' recent triumph of bipartisan comity, he then drones on for what seems like hours without ever mentioning that the modern GOP is the problem. They have NOBODY (that isn't named Flake) interested in Coons style bipartisan comity. "Potemkin Village" actually over-states how legitimate Coons style bipartisan comity is. No convinced? Look up who else was on that Adventure Holiday with Coons and see how they vote on Kavanaugh. Two things need to be in place for Coons style bipartisan comity to work. The cross-aisle buddy has to be NOT RUNNING FOR ANYTHING, and must have been on an Adventure Holiday with Coons.

Song of the Day – Bronski Beat

Young homosexual men may find it hard to believe that being openly gay in the 1980's was an act of protest in and of itself. An all openly gay band singing gay themed hit songs seemed as implausible as electing a gay President. And yet, the all gay Bronski Beat achieved success in the mid-1980s with a Hi-NRG sound and lyrics focused on anti-gay prejudice. [embed]https://youtu.be/H3LbzjFJdSA[/embed]

Where the $#@% is Matt Denn?

Granted, national news has been sucking up every bit of oxygen. But crimes are still being committed in Delaware. One criminal that isn't getting any attention is Mike Ramone. Where is the investigation into the fact that Ramone used his government position to get his political opponent fired from her job? On its face it is a crime. Why isn't Ramone facing a judge yet? For that matter why isn't this crime being reported outside of blogs? Where the hell is Allan Loudel? I'd ask, where the hell is the News Journal, but we all know that the NJ is basically useless.
