Quick Q before we start this week…What’s your spirit flower? I’m a daffodil. I know that’s a hackey, obvious flower but I didn’t pick it. The daffodil picked me. Anyhoo…I mention that here because we are now just weeks away from my heyday. Whatever flower you are, (Azalea, Tulip, Poppy, Sunflower, Rose, Orchid, Iris, Peony, Chrysanthemum, […]
Cruelty is the point
Chris Coons is a very popular and relevant politician. I’m an unpopular and irrelevant microbe in comparison. But if I was as popular as say… a Chris Coons, I might try to spend some of my popularity by pointing out that the policies of the Republican Party are designed to inflict pain and suffering for […]
Why Trump (and all Republican Criminals) Don’t Have Anything to Fear in the Courts
With the help and hard work of Senatorial Oligarch, Chris Coons, Trump appointed 54 federal appellate judges in four years. As a result, we have so many Trump judges on the federal bench now that whenever a conservative person or media outlet loses a case – they can appeal it up and find partisan conservative judge to overrule any decision that doesn’t go their way.
Heck of a job, Coonsie!
Democrat Party’s Joe Biden is Divisive
Y’ALL!! BIDEN should use the godlike powers of the US Presidency to make gas $0.99 and 9/10ths per gallon. Also…bomb the fuck out of RUSSIA, and …Also …N0 mo0Re aNAL s3X in the elemnt-ry CLasSR00Ms!!
I wish I was a GOP candidate for literally any office. I could clean up.
The Greatest White Privilege of Them All
Eschaton reminded me of this truth – You can’t convict rich white people of crimes. That’s a pretty big privilege. Even when they are stone cold guilty, wealthy white people can use the “I didn’t know it was a crime” defense. You have to be simultaneously rich and white to have that defense available to you.
Only once in my lifetime has that defense failed, and that was the rich white guy preyed on underage girls. I guess it is hard to claim that you didn’t know preying on underage girls is a crime with a straight face.
Senator Chris Coons’ Old Prayer Breakfast Buddy Says Ukraine is Bombing Its Own Cites
Maria Butina, who became friends with Senator Chris Coons and other conservative oligarchs at the NRA sponsored National Prayer Breakfast was once part of Russia’s wide-ranging Russian effort to influence U.S. politics. Arrest by the FBI in July 2018, Butina spent 15 months in a federal prison and was deported in October 2019. After returning […]
From a Strategy Perspective – You Really Have to Hand it to Republicans
They’ve perfected a system for making stuff they don’t like both toxic for low info voters and frequently illegal. They take anything that seems like it contains “liberalism” (from abortion, to action on climate change, to teaching the truth that slavery was bad) and make it an “ideology” that children need to be protected from. Next up for this spy-ops treatment…being gay.
LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): When did our public schools, any schools, become what are essentially grooming centers for gender identity radicals? As a mom, I think it’s appalling, it’s frightening, it’s disgusting, it’s despicable. Florida just passed a bill to keep this type of sexual brainwashing out of schools. Democrats, though, claim the bill is bigoted, branding it as the “Don’t Say Gay Bill.” Well, nice try. The real controversy, though, isn’t this bill. It’s that schools are peddling gender ideology when our international rankings in math, science, and reading are down across the board.
Remember When Senator Chris Coons Worked So Hard to Get All of Those Trump Judges Seated?
Nichols was one of those cases where Coons joined with Republicans and voted “Yea” to move the nomination out of Committee then “Nay” in the full vote when it didn’t fucking matter. A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has, for now, just effectively destroyed the main case against a January 6 defendant by […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday March 9th 2022
Some of you may remember when I was asking the hive mind about buying an EV vs and internal combustion automobile. Well I bought the EV and it has been great. Yesterday a co-worker told me he spent over $90 to fill his GMC pickup. He gets 16 miles per gallon and is very mad […]
What is Senator McBride Waiting For?
I mean other than waiting until after Family Leave crosses the finish line, can anybody give me a good reason why McBride shouldn’t run for Governor?
It is International Women’s Day – a day set aside to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, after all.
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 8, 2022
Paid Medical And Family Leave. I’ve been around so long that I can recall the debate on unpaid Medical And Family Leave. The Chamber warning of the ‘slippery slope’ this could lead to. Me thinking, “That’s a pretty good slippery slope.” Call today Slippery Slope Day. Sarah McBride has crafted a bill that, while less […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday March 8th 2022
Just take a look at this graph. We’ve got the most expensive third-world health outcomes money can buy! In Delaware we have a congressional delegation fully in the pocket of the for profit multi-billion-dollar health care industry. Our local legislators, to be honest, are no better. They’ve all been bought off and bribed in exchange for […]
DLOpen Thread Monday March 7th 2022
Let me ask you, the smartest political observers in Delaware, other than Paul Baumbach’s “Death with Dignity” legislation, Sarah McBride’s “Paid Family Leave” and Senator Pinkney’s SB149 to amend LEOBOR – are any elected Dems trying to actually get anything done? I only ask because it doesn’t seem like anybody has a burning desire to do […]
