If we've lost our community immunity and I, or some member of my vaccinated family, get the measels, mumps, or whooping cough - I'm going to be pissed off. In…

Tom Carper finally did some actual work to resist the criminal misrule of the Manchurian Orange. This reveals a couple of things. 1) Carper doesn't have to be the waste of space that he's been. He chooses to be a bank-toadying, waste of space. 2) Primaries and elections work. We need to hold politicians accountable and we do so through elections. Never having faced a Dem challenger, Tom never needed to get off his ass. Now he has one.

The Environment Protection Agency's (EPA) inspector general announced Monday evening he would review employment records pertaining to Samantha Dravis, who resigned last week as the agency's senior counsel and associate director of its Office of Policy. In a letter sent late last month, Sen. Tom Carper, D-Delaware, asked the inspector general to investigate Dravis' employment record. According to Carper, Dravis "did not attend work or perform her duties for much if not all of the months of November 2017-January 2018." Carper also wrote that he had been informed that Dravis "was likely compensated as a full-time employee throughout that time."

An investigation of Yrump is an attack on America.  Because Trump is America.

The FBI on Monday raided the office of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, obtaining a search warrant after referral from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller according to the New York Times. Agents reportedly seized materials related to the $130,000 payment Cohen made to porn actress Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 election to prevent her from speaking out about the alleged affair she had with President Donald Trump. The FBI, the Times reported, seized “records related to several topics.” Trump spoke out about the case for the first time last week, telling reporters on Thursday that he didn’t know about the payment. He referred questions to Cohen.

Misery. That's what's on tap for the stupid lazy 93% of Americans who are so dumb that we are not yet millionaires. How do I know? Imagine a subprime lending industry that charges exorbitant rates loans to people least suited to afford them. Imagine that this industry (deregulated by Tom Carper), has been free to obscure the real risks of sub-prime lending by spinning the shitty debt into high-risk/high-yield bonds. Now imagine that this fraudulent scam is collapsing, and three prominent players are shut down spectacularly and suddenly through bankruptcies and fraud investigations. You don't have to imagine it...because it is already here. Welcome to Carmageddon: The subprime car-lending industry bubble is popped and it is not going to end well.

It is like some kind of harmonic convergence that only happens once every 100,000 years. The Delaware Retrumpicans got a Pastor (from a relatively non-crazy denomination) who is also a General, and (on paper anyway) a nice, decent guy.

It is easy to play a financial genuis on Fox News. You simply praise tax cuts, and take credit for whatever economic prosperity is still hanging around from the most…

Bashar Hafez al-Assad is pals with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin > Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin owns Donald John Trump. BEIRUT (Reuters) - A chemical attack on a rebel-held town in eastern Ghouta…

MAKING THE AUDITOR ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS.

Kathy will not only audit government departments, she has the knowledge and experience to look beyond the balance sheet and make sure taxpayers get a fair deal from state government. Kathy will make sure the position of Auditor becomes relevant to all Delawareans and making sure your money is being spent properly.

This snippet of found poetry has been sitting in the "Drafts" file for a while. As I was about to hit delete, it occured that "MAKING THE AUDITOR ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS" sound like setting the goals a little low. Why not really go for it? You're welcome.

Trump doesn't trust people. Even his close advisors. He trusts Fox News. Knowing this, his advisors pass advice to him through Fox News. Yes, it is fucked up.

Unless Raser-Schramm has a decent candidate slotted, this is some bullshit:

However, after having conversations this week with those involved in the party and Party Chairman Erik Raser-Schramm, I have decided not to seek political office at this time, especially for the position of State Treasurer.

The crux of the division in the Democratic Party have been well discussed and are well known to readers of DL, so there is no need to go into them here. For a long time I thought that the divisions were something that could be worked out. I once naively thought that the abject heinousness of GOP misrule is more than enough motivation for all Democrats to come together. Now I'm not so sure. For me, the rise of wildcat teacher strikes is some tipping point evidence that we have two fundamentally different Democratic Parties trying to wear the same sweater. One Democratic Party wants social and economic justice, and one does not. I don't think they can co-exist. The goals of the two parties are antithetical.

Now your low tax shit hole can have its very own shit train.

Two months ago, dozens of train cars filled with ten million pounds of human shit from waste disposal plants in New York and New Jersey came to rest outside the town of Parrish, Alabama, population 982. They've been there ever since, rotting in the sun, smelling unimaginably bad. They were destined for a landfill site in Adamsville, Alabama, but the residents of the adjacent town of West Jefferson obtained an injunction blocking the site's staging railyard from receiving the biowaste, so now the shit is in limbo in Parrish, where a the region's commitment to small government and light-touch regulation means there's no rules against storing tons of human feces in populated areas.
