DL Open Thread Tuesday September 21st 2021
I really have no stomach for the news. It’s all Biden getting hit in the kisser with McConnell and Manchin’s cream pies. Like this one, for example. Mitch McConnell says the GOP will vote for the US to default on its debt That’s bonkers, but Biden forced his hand, I guess. Also…. WANKER CAUCUS […]
Julianne Murray’s ‘Patriots for Delaware’ to Explain Why Republicans Keep Losing Statewide in Delaware
Why do Republicans keep losing statewide by such lopsided margins in Delaware? Nefarious interference by the ghost of Hugo Chávez? DEGOP candidates and polices are widely hated by voters? I guess we’ll find out soon. They have “proof.”

Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5-11 takes a step closer. (Which means the same idiots just took two steps backwards).
A ‘Missing White Girl!’ story dominated the weekend. Meanwhile Native American women are missing, murdered and sexually assaulted at rates as high as 10 times the average in the United States—crimes overwhelmingly committed by individuals outside the Native American community.
Ted Lasso is a very good TV program. And yet, I’m a little queasy about how streaming services model is taking over TV.
Floor is yours. I’m sure there is some campaign news someone wants to break here.
DL Open Thread Sunday, Sept. 19, 2021
The conservative grift seems like such an easy dodge: Mouth a few idiotic slogans you didn’t even have to think up yourself, rake in the bucks (just ask Lauren Witzke). But there’s apparently some kind of secret code involved that prevents it from working for just anyone. For example, the crank yanker who organized a […]
Has Murray’s “Tough on Blacks” AG Campaign Run Into Possible Legal Problems on Day One?
A Facebook commenter noticed something fishy about Murray’s campaign. “Patriots 4 Delaware” is not a nonprofit PAC but a for-profit corp whose registered agent shares Murray’s firm’s address. This is prima facie evidence that she is breaking campaign finance laws already. Murray’s firm is small. Murray plus two other lawyers. One would have to […]
Park City Kathy Snubbed by Fellow Scumbags
McGuinness apparently asked to speak to a Republican Women’s group about her anticipated run for Gov, and got a big “Fuck no, you are a Democrat.” I know, right. So many confused motherfuckers crowded into one sentence.
DE “Patriots” for Favor of Fucking Shit Up – In this case elections
These fucking shithead Republicans are going around saying that Delaware elections are fraudulent. Can’t we pass something that makes Republicans have a tough vote between these nut jobs and the truth? Our Dems in Dover need to show a lot more fight.
Song of the Day 9/16: Tom Jones w/ CSN&Y, “Long Time Gone”
I confess that teenage me was not into watching “This Is Tom Jones,” the variety show the Welsh belter hosted from 1969 to 1971. I was too young to realize that though he found fame and fortune singing what came to be called Adult Contemporary, Jones was a helluva soul singer. Just listen to what […]

You know how to tell your precious American democracy is already dead? When the guy who has to save it turns out to be Dan Quayle. Yes, that Dan Quayle. If you guessed that some House Democrats are balking at a $3.5 trillion spending bill because they’re in toss-up districts, Johnny will tell you all […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday September 15th 2021
How uninterested is the GOP in actually governing? They really could care less about the actual work of government. By all outward appearances, they are only interested in fucking shit up and being dicks. It is really astonishing to think about. I mean I’m thinking about it in terms of this California recall, but so […]
Can someone check in on Rick Jensen?
COVID is coming for MAGAfuckhead radio hosts like it is Colin Bonini being called to supper. I have’t listened to Jensen for years, but I have to think that he is still watching Sean Hannity every night and parroting everything he hears over the airwaves everyday. (The easiest job in radio, provided you have no scruples.) Which means he is debating the undebatable science around vaccinations, and generally passing along wingnut anti-vax nonsense under the dishonest ruse of “just asking the question.”
So…should someone check in on Jensen?
In recent weeks, several popular conservative talk radio hosts — including Phil Valentine of Nashville, Tennessee, and Marc Bernier of Daytona Beach, Florida, both longtime fixtures in their communities — died from Covid-19 after vocally opposing vaccination or questioning its value.

Distinction Without a Difference Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, long-groomed for the role by conservative groups, picked by Donald Trump, then rammed into the chair by the GOP House Leader in the final days of Trump’s administration, said in a lecture Sunday that she is concerned that the public may increasingly see the court […]

I’m sure Chris Coons could find some middle-ground here. Maybe republicans can consider poisoning only half of the well?
Republican candidate Larry Elder, who has the best chance of unseating Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in California’s gubernatorial recall election, is already preparing to dispute the results with escalating talks of “voter fraud” in the days leading up to election day.
Why is Manchin described as a “moderate” in this story?
Joe Manchin, the moderate Democrat standing in the way of Joe Biden’s signature $3.5tn spending bill, insisted again on Sunday he would not support the package, declaring the price tag too high and White House efforts to speed its passage too hasty.
