I've been too depressed to read much, but this is so worth it. (Thanks to Dorian Gray for the link) And yet, two pieces of writing published on conservative news…

John Daniello's bulk mail form letter was the kind of move one would expect an 84 year old man to make. He may have been the winningest, most effective, most…

Bryan Townsend, and presumably other Democratic candidates in primary battles like Pete Schwartzkopf, got letters asking them to bow out of their respective races. While I hope Sneaky Pete takes John Daniello up on this idiotic bullshit and lets Don Peterson win by default, I think Townsend has a pretty good response.

Trump said: But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights—they didn't talk, they were a terrorist, it…

While we bicker over emails, it is easy to forget that real honest to goodness crimes on a massive scale were perpetrated by George Bush, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair. None of whom have seen the inside of a jail cell, and they never will.

The Chilcot Report on the UK invasion of Iraq has finally been released, seven years after it was announced, and many years after its completion (it was delayed for years over the release of government documents and memos that were contained in its pages).... One of the most damning soundbites from the report was a memo from Blair to GW Bush reading, "I will be with you whatever," which is a part of a series of communications between the two leaders in which they start from the conclusion that they want to invade Iraq and topple the Saddam Hussein government, and work backwards to figure out how to present the evidence that will make the case that they have no choice but to do this.

I'll be trolling some Republican family members this weekend. Let me know in the comments if I've forgotten anything.

"I'm glad Bill Clinton talked Donald Trump into getting into the GOP primary. Who could have ever guessed that he'd actually win the nomination? Bill Clinton, I suppose."

"The Benghazi hearing really helped out Clinton this year. Do you think Trey Gowdy was being paid by the Clinton Foundation? It sure seems like it."

"How stupid must Mitch McConnell feel now that Merrick Garland said he would have probably voted to uphold that abortion ban? Pretty stupid I'd imagine."

"Yes, the famous Stonewall Inn was named after Stonewall Jackson. He was gayer than Liberace. Didn't you see Ken Burns' documentary. Jackson was basically "out" for his day."

It pretty much has to be Warren now, right?

The DL community contributed $534.12 to help Don Peterson take on the execrable Pete Schwartzkopf. $534.12 might not seem like a huge haul, but Don Peterson is treading a long and difficult path in taking on an incumbent who also happens to be the Speaker, so it is important to take a long view of projects like this. Since I've been paying attention to Delaware politics, I don't think I've ever seen an incumbent beaten on the first attempt. It seems to always take an election for a challenger to get his campaign footing. It is my hope that this support and future support from the DL community, small though it may be, helps Don Peterson fix his vision on the horizon and settle on the long term goal of beating Pete Schwartzkopf if not this primary, then next. If not that primary, then the next.

People voted with their fears, not their heads. This Guardian lede sums it up perfectly. Exchange Trump for EU Exit, and you have a chilling look at our possible future.…

"If Peterson decides to tilt with windmills, do not bet on the windmills."

This is getting ridiculous.
