Republicans are working hard today to steal the next election

Filed in National by on September 27, 2021 1 Comment

It is not controversial to say that Republicans are laying the groundwork for stealing the 2024 election.  It isn’t “hand wringing” – it is a simple statement of fact.  It is happening in the open.  The jokey “election audit” in Arizona was part of it.  The dumbassery scheduled for Milford tomorrow is part of it.

Throw enough sand into the gears of democracy, allow angry imbeciles to stew in some ginned up outrage for long enough, and they are more than half-way there.

Coons’ “LOOK AT ME!” Bipartisanship is Directly Damaging Joe Biden

Filed in National by on September 27, 2021 4 Comments

By promoting a false media narrative about “moderates” vs “progressives” Coons is directly fucking over Biden. Josh Marshall lays it all out. For months we’ve had this intra-party debate presented as one between “progressives” and “moderates.” Often that gets personalized as AOC and Bernie versus Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema. This is demonstrably false.

DL Open Thread Monday September 27th 2021

Coons’ Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus coming out of hiding any minute now.  

However, in reaching across the aisle and creating the bipartisan committee, Coons said it has been “thrilling” to see how important climate change has become to Congress members.

Thrilling! 

Coons really is a fucking piece of shit. Providing cover to the GOP by flogging this bipartisan nonsense morning noon and night.  While McConnell continues to state in plain English that Republicans will never provide a single vote for anything significant.

You can’t build a shit nation like the USA unless you have a lot of pieces of shit to assemble into the final product. One giant piece of shit is, of course, the Previous Guy, but he had help from many, many shit humans all along the way. One of those shit humans, Mark Zuckerberg, […]

Steve Smyk Still Walking Around, Showing His Creeper Face in Public

Some sexual harassment gets you a mug shot in the NJ and some never gets mentioned. This is from El Som, way back back in June.   If you have a subscription, read away. We’ll start with some fair use: A lawsuit filed by a female former Delaware State Police trooper accuses police officials of […]

Song of the Day 9/23: The Ramones, “I Wanna Be Sedated”

Filed in National by on September 23, 2021 2 Comments

By the time you’re reading this I will have gotten Joey Ramone’s wish, and I’ll be minus a gall bladder. Contrary to popular belief, the chorus isn’t about wanting pain relief. Joey wrote most of it in London on Christmas Day 1977 while the band was touring the UK. “we went over to England, and […]

This has been obvious for a while now, but media people are starting to say it: Vaccine resistance by top Republicans is part of a strategy to fuck things up on purpose so Biden can’t succeed. They literally would destroy the country’s prosperity rather than share it with the Blah people. Thom Hartmann makes a […]

Sorry. Joe Biden Sucks at Being President

Filed in National by on September 22, 2021 0 Comments

Joe just doesn’t have that it takes to go toe to toe with the radical moderates like Senator Chris Coons and Senator Joe Manchin who are committed to making him a one termer. He might have been a good President 30 years ago, but in the era of extremely toxic centrism and moderation…not so much.

If, that is, a lawsuit filed by the alleged victim and (bum-)steered by, of course, yet another failed Republican candidate who just happens to practice law, is affirmed.  Here’s the story from WDEL (an El Som tip of the sombrero to an intrepid tipster): A lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court seeks to force a […]

If anything, perhaps the degree to which the MAGAts are placing their lives in danger has been understated. Here are the ten counties in the US that experienced the greatest percentage growth in COVID cases over the past seven days  according to the NYTimes, and the percentage of voters who went with Trump in these […]

Are Democrats Political Masochist?

Filed in National by on September 22, 2021 4 Comments

Why do Congressional Democrats always lose?  At this point it is logical to conclude that they get off on it.  The humiliation sessions are too regular, too ritualized to not be consensual.  It is all too easy to picture Coons, figuratively, bent over and chained to a desk while McConnell applies the figurative lash to […]

Yes, Virginia – Julianne Murray’s AG Campaign is SUPER Racist

Filed in National by on September 21, 2021 1 Comment

She isn’t trying to hide the fact that she is running on a retrograde anti-black agenda with bloody shirt waving worthy of a KKK-type candidate.  Just look at the torrent of thinly veiled racism documented by TownSqauredelaware.com 

The ONLY real crimes are street crimes:  

“…important quest to make the streets and neighborhoods all over Delaware safe again.”

“…will work with law enforcement to keep violent criminals off the street.”

“…People are scared to walk the streets, they’re afraid to drive to Wilmington,”

“There’s so much that has to be done to make our streets safe again,”

It is us (whites) against them (blacks):

“…want an attorney general who will protect their rights and freedoms rather than attempt to take them away and impose a ‘woke’ agenda,”

“…Jennings declined to prosecute protestors arrested following the George Floyd shooting in Minneapolis.”

“… not prosecuting violent protesters.”

“…(will side) with the victims of crimes — not the criminals”
