Obama

It would be cool if Obama trolled Trump by saying that he used his magical ex-president telepathy powers to release Trumps income taxes.  

Divine Right of Kings

I suspect that Trump doesn't give a fuck about the American version of the Christian God. His supporters believe in that perverted theology and they further believe that Trump is…

Mike Ramone – NOT a Dangerous MAGA Extremist

Here are Ramone's responses:
Yes Joe Biden won the election and is our duly swore President, Yes those who broke into and vandalized the capital broke the law and should be punished for doing so, Yes, anyone who would steal top secret items from our Government in any way should be prosecuted and treated appropriately.
There was also a cordial stuff, but I'm keeping this focused on the questions, so I left that out.  I also formatted it. So... Ramone isn't a MAGA extremists.  That's good. For the record, I don't...

Delawareans: Medicare is great!  Dems:  Hey guys...Let's privatize and fuck up Medicare. 

Delaware's Retirees Utterly Screwed By John Carney 

The change to state pensioners’ health care plan caught both retirees and lawmakers off guard, which led to Democratic Senate leaders asking Gov. John Carney to push the implementation of the new Medicare Advantage plan.

The Carney administration has denied this request, citing contractual obligations among other reasons. Ultimately, according to a letter to lawmakers obtained by Delaware Online/The News Journal, the plan to replace retiree’s Medicare plan is already in motion and it’s too late to stop it.

The plan will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.


More Capitalists Behaving Badly

Remember to try and get your local Republican office holder on the record as a MAGA Extremist, or a regular Republican.
It is official.  Both frontrunners for the GOP's presidential nomination are under investigation.  One could say that they are trying to weaponize crime.

Puerto Rico should be a state.  At least now the Queen is buried, some enterprising reporters might check out the climate disaster there.

First State Abortion Fund chair Kori Beaman joins Rob in the bunker to talk about the conception and function of the FSAF, how they plan to actually help people seeking abortions in and out of state, and what political changes need to be made to protect that right for everyone. Show Notes:

Is Your Delaware State Senator/Rep a MAGA Republican?

Most incumbent Republicans are working hard right now to cover their tracks and scrub their web sites of MAGA policies. That's why we've come up with a simple endorsement type questionnaire for everyone living in a GOP Senate of House district. Simply send this easy, three item questionnaire to your state Senator or Rep and and unless you get back three "YES" responses - your DEGOP state Rep or Senator is a MAGA Republican. Here we go: 1) Do you think Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly? [ ] YES [ ] NO 2) Do you think rioters that broke into and vandalized the US Capitol on January 6th of 2021 are criminals and should be treated as criminals? [ ] YES [ ] NO 3) Do you think stealing top secret documents and leaving them exposed to discovery by the agents of governments hostile to the United States is a criminal act that should be treated as such? [ ] YES [ ] NO
Three simple questions. Unless you get three simple, unqualified YES responses in return, your DEGOP Senator of Rep is a MAGA republican. I'll be sending this to my Rep, Kevin Hensley and reporting his responses here.

Would the end of the republic just hurry up and get here FFS?

I've heard talking heads on TV say that the DoJ doesn't want to appeal the bullshit rulings they are getting from the Coons/Trump judge because it could end in the Supreme Court and the extremists court could just simply rule that Trump is still really President. Can't we just stop fucking around and get to that point? Let them declare him President and let's take it from there. Being afraid of what Republicans will do or say is a bullshit strategy. Being afraid of Trump is what got us here.
