Convicted State Auditor Conduct MUCH WORSE Than What Was Revealed in Court

With his shameful motion to dismiss the conviction of the State Auditor,  Woods opened a can of worms. Read the items that were excluded in his favor and see that one of the items was the convicted auditor's access to emails outside of the "State's enterprise."   So who was the subject of this (no doubt illegal) covert surveillance?  Who's email account outside of the "State's enterprise" was McGuiness keeping tabs on?   Now I'm hoping this goes to appeal, because I think we've only seen the tip of the shit-berg known as Kathy McGuiness' term as State Auditor.  

REV & Bill Cover The Special Session – People in Log Homes Shouldn’t throw Cans of Kerosene

Pete and his comrades in the GOP have a flimsy argument to make.  An argument as likely to fall on their heads as Bonini's rickety log home. The Kathy fight moves across the green to Legislative Hall as the State Senate considers a resolution to remove Kathy McGuiness from office. We walk through the play by play before talking about what might be next in the legislative process. Show Notes:

Shorter Pete: Kathy is innocent until a guilty verdict has been entered by the Superior Court and she is removed by the Governor. Also Today: - White supremacy at the heart of today's "pro-life" movement. - Only 49 days until Delaware's primary. Are you doing enough to help further retire the retired Cops who rule this state?

Establishment Dems exhort liberals and progressives to "hold their nose" and vote for execrable establishment Dems because otherwise "the bad Republicans will..blah blah blah..." But when someone the sober moderates…

Convicted State Auditor, Kathy McGuiness, is still ridiculous.  (See below). https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2022/07/the-independent-state-legislature-theory-is-both-transparently-idiotic-and-a-major-threat-to-american-democracy   The only operative unifying theory in all of these (“INDEPENDENT STATE LEGISLATURE” THEORY) cases is “Republicans are entitled…

Here we are again.  You with your morning coffee probably thinking Jason330 is such a snappy writer and has such insightful insights, I'll bet he has amazing Abs. And it's true, I do have amazing  pyramidalis, external obliques, internal obliques, and transversus abdominis.  To be honest, it is the first thing most people notice about me. But most people are shallow.  Not deep thinkers like you and me. And it is your deep thinking I am depending on.  In today's open thread, instead of a survey of today's "news"  we will be constructing the optimal Democratic candidate from a bunch of spare parts called "One virtue from a Delaware political figure you like, and one virtue from a Delaware political figure you don't." Then we'll wait for lightning to strike and charge our Franken-candiate via their neck bolts.  But mark the rules well - one virtue from a Delaware political figure you like, and one virtue from a Delaware political figure you don't. Adherence to rules makes the game fun for everyone. I'll start and take the lowest of low hanging fruit.

I suck at blogging.  I'm still not following the news.  But this item penetrated my anti-news carapace.

Judge blocks Biden admin's transgender school bathroom rule, athletes

Judge Charles Atchley Jr was one of the record number of federal judges appointed by former President Donald Trump and rushed into service by Chris Coons, so heck of a job there Coonsie!  Always remember that for the GOP, the cruelty is the point.  Whenever Coons waxes rhapsodic about bipartisanship, he is indeed singing the praises of cruelty.

As far as anything else happening out there in the world, you'll have to fill me in via the comments section.

In our smaller world,  I met Lydia York  and was very impressed. Meet her yourself at an upcoming fundraiser, and donate away. I also had saw an excellent 'DelShakes' production of 'The Tempest' put on in Rockwood Park.  Standout performances by Gerrad Alex Taylor as Caliban and Lexi Thammavong as Ariel.  Runs (Wed - Sun) through July 31st.  Buy tickets here.
