Senators Blackburn and Coons “Spitting Mad”
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R–TN) is incensed that President Biden is not including Republicans in the search for the next Supreme Court justice. “The Biden White House is not even consulting with Republican Senators,” she complained on Fox today. “They’ve sent the message that Republicans Senators are irrelevant. … They want to just put the people […]
Don’t Be a Wanker
If you aren’t fucking joining your fucking RD committee, or working for a fucking candidate you believe in, or all your activism takes place in the comments section of some dumb blog, you are just wanking. WFP is hosting a training on how to run a grassroots campaign this Saturday: Every day, our political system seems […]
Trump is a scourge that keeps on scourge-ing
I blame Hillary Clinton, and Democrats for nominating her. The worst candidate ever, defeated by the second worst presidential candidate ever.

The Brazen Criminality of Delaware’s “Auditor”
This is fucking nuts.
As reported by WDEL’s DJ McAneny here is the exchange between Trey Paradee and Kathy McGuiness AFTER Paradee pointed out that Park City was trying to shift half-a-million dollars from general funds towards “contractual services” (Sen Lawson interjecting some dumb bullshit has been removed by me.)
DL Open Thread Wednesday February 9th 2022
Ho hum. The NYT doesn’t think Trump breaking the law is much of a story. On Tuesday, Times reporters Michael S. Schmidt and Maggie Haberman co-authored their newspaper’s first attempt to define the contours of bombshell news by The Washington Postabout the National Archives and Records Administration recovering documents illegally removed from the White House […]
Shama Lama Ding Dong
Read RAE KRANTZ’ coverage of the sham RD4 session in the Delaware Call. Then become a patron. ….a group of people who had previously decided that racism was not a big deal was in charge of deciding between a woman of color and a white man to represent their district in the upcoming election. In […]
Song of the Day 2/8: Glen Campbell, “Just Another Piece of Paper”
The National Archives had to send — who? A-men? — to Mar a Lago to fetch Trump’s love letters from Kim Jong-un which, as the linked story dryly notes, “did not reduce tensions with North Korea.” The manbaby president’s habit of tearing up official papers has also been back in the headlines. Other presidents wrote […]

DL Open Thread Monday February 7 2022
Bad news for people who think Darwin will be decisive. You may be wondering – Have the disproportionate COVID deaths in “red” areas been big enough to make a difference in future elections? Even if the pandemic gets 100 times worse in terms of death numbers between now and November 2024, the excess Republican deaths […]
What are the real actual goals of Glorious Centrism anyway?
Aside from lower taxes for companies and people who already pay practically nothing, or some complicated tax rebate scheme carefully crafted to give the Chamber of Commerce a hard on, it is impossible to imagine what the Coosian dream of glorious centrism actually delivers. I mean, what is the goal of Coons style bipartisanship? Does […]
The GOP is now an explicitly the pro-insurrection political party
The fact that the Republican National Committee officially declared the January 6th insurrection and the conspiracy that preceded it as “legitimate political discourse” seems like a milestone. It also seems like something Democrats should make known to voters. I know making Republicans answer tough questions isn’t part of the Dems playbook, but this seems like […]
“Bottom-Up Authoritarianism”
Super wealthy a-holes who want to be loved are the worst. Luckily they now have a term to describe their full victimhood at the hands of powerless peons who from time to time try to make them feel bad about saying and doing stupid, anti-social shit.
Dems still not close enough to “the center” for the New York Times
Coonsie and the New York Times Editorial Board believed in the center, the orgastic centrist future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther…. And one fine morning—— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly […]
