Ruth Briggs King is a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

As if more evidence was needed, the Herschel Walker abortion revelations and subsequent shrug by the GOP testifies to the fact that Republicans are all about power and not interested in policies – not even a little bit.

Similarly, but on a smaller scale, Ruth Briggs King is a dangerous MAGA extremist. She head-faked and made me think that she was going to respond. That’s why this is a long delayed verdict.

And really, why wouldn’t she blow off the questions? In the context of the GOP being all about boosting the turnout of radicals on elections day, the questions don’t even make sense.

“Was Joe Biden legitimately elected?” Who the fuck cares? The only germane question is – Does allowing dummies and losers believe that Trump won boost turnout? If it does, then ok. Joe Biden was installed by China or whatever.

If anyone is interested, my exchange with Ruth Briggs King is below.

2nd Rally Opposing Privatization of State Retirees’ Health Care – Wednesday, October 12th Leg Hall

It is just appalling what Carney has foisted on the state’s unsuspecting retirees.  And for what?  What’s his payoff down the line?  A cushy lobbyist job?   The backroom chicanery that led to this may never be known, but someone follow the money. 

Carney is untouchable as he will be skulking out of town soon, but this should be a campaign issue.  

RISE Delaware has scheduled a second public rally to take place on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, starting at noon. The rally will be held on the East steps of Legislative Hall in Dover. In case of rain, the rally will be held in the House Chambers.

The purpose of the rally is to allow state retirees and future retirees to demonstrate their opposition to the privatized Medicare Advantage…

DL Open Thread Wednesday Oct 5 2022

These are John Kowalko’s Opening Remarks From Yesterday’s RISE Rally

We are gathered here today to raise our collective voices in a resounding NO to privatization of our health care. NO to privatization of Medicare. No to this Governor and his administrators attempts to sellout Delaware retirees benefits to conglomerates such as Highmark so they can profit at the expense of retirees.

No to the secret backroom deals that deliberately violate transparency and open
government obligations and thereby violate the PUBLIC TRUST.

No to the word for word regurgitation of misinformation, false information, and distorted information that the SEBC continues to spread at every public disinformation session they conduct.

No to any contract conceived, negotiated and created with no retiree input or knowledge.

We are here to reject Secretary DeMatteis’

Voting Rights…They Were Nice

There was a time in the United States when states could enact barriers to voting. They could make it difficult or even impossible for certain populations to vote.  Then there was the voting rights act of 1965 prohibited state and local government from imposing any voting rule that “results in the denial or abridgement of […]

Eagles Pre-Game – Week 4

Eagles vs Jags 1:00pm on CBS.

In sports, as in life, when things are going good we sometimes dwell on the how things might eventually fall apart.  Indeed, the entire Fox News media empire is built on keeping the dummies who watch it topped-off to the brim with worries, concerns and portents of looming catastrophe.

Last week my nervous-nellyism focused on whether or not Jalen Hurts was going to run the ball too much.  He didn’t.  Instead Hurts lit up the Commanders secondary by throwing 35 times for 340 yards.

This week I’ll be lighting the Santo Toribio Romo candle in order to help the Eagles score in the 4th quarter.  This is the definition of a imaginary problem.  The Eagles 4th quarter scoring “problems” are no doubt related to the fact that they haven’t needed to score any points in the 4th quarter.

They might not need any 4th quarter points this week, so I’ll be either carrying over this concern to next week or I’ll have moved on to worrying about that fact that being the last remaining undefeated team is somehow problematic.

Republicans are MAGA Extremists

I have some emails out to DEGOPers,  and next week I’m going to go back to trying to sort the lunatics out from the merely terrible Delaware Republicans. But in the meantime, I noticed this TV ad for Joanna McClinton a PA State Rep from Delco. It closes by urging everyone to vote the Dem […]

But don’t mention climate change because that would be political

“If I press this button, the economy goes ka-plooey!”

Whenever we happen to have a Not-Republican President the GOP brings a big hammer out of the closet. The hammer is called “debt limit brinksmanship”, and they use it to threaten to smash the economy. The media plays along because that’s how they make money, and quarterly profits rule their world. The Not-Republican President, in […]
