DL Open Thread – Wed July 7th 2021 – All Gosar

Filed in National by on July 7, 2021 1 Comment

I have to keep reminding myself that Gosar was elected and is a reflection of some portion of Arizonans. Liz Cheney calls Paul Gosar a despicable liar for saying Capitol Police ‘executed’ protester Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) blasted fellow Republican Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) for placing blame for the death of a woman during the […]

Boris Johnson – Not so smart

London (CNN)UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set out his plan to lift most of England’s remaining coronavirus restrictions by mid-July, despite warnings from some experts that the current surge of Delta variantcases across the country means such a move is premature. Johnson said Monday that the “continuing effectiveness” of the vaccine rollout allows England […]

DL Open Thread – Tuesday July 6th 2021

This “still on holiday” open thread is brought to you by the idiot who paid for a banner to fly over the beach here two times a day that reads: Everyone Knows #TrumpWon I’m not taking a picture of it and posting it because ‘Everyone Knows’ that’s what the idiot wants to happen. Anyway, I […]

Today is worthy of celebration — it’s been a full week since Chris Coons last sold out his constituents. It’s pretty clear to anyone paying attention that the Jan. 6 insurrection was a two-pronged attack — 90% or so delusional goobers with lots more time and money than common sense, providing cover for a core […]

Sham Marijuana Legalization Has Failed – Long Live REAL Marijuana Legalization

Filed in National by on July 2, 2021 3 Comments

Lacking social equity provisions, sham weed legalization failed in Delaware. Good. Next time bring back a real legalization bill by cutting the corrupt Delaware way out altogether.

As of today, it is legal to grow marijuana plants in your home or yard in New Mexico: up to six of them each, according to a law passed in a special session of the state legislature, with a cap of 12 plants per household. People 21 or older may possess up to 2 ounces (56 grams) of marijuana, and the smell of marijuana is no longer probable cause for cops wanting to search property, including vehicles.

New Mexico is the new model. Cut out the cops and fucking capitalist ghouls and let’s demand actual legalization. Not some bogus bullshit legalization.

Why Trump is Running

Trump says he has made a decision but based on Alby’s open thread – I think the 5th District of NY has made the decision for him. He must run again. Being a candidate allows him to raise money and siphon it off for debt coverage. The prospect that he mightbe President of the United […]

The Biden presidency has been a crisis for the media — without a daily Fresh New Hell, ratings and readership are in the tank. Everybody’s web traffic is down, but it’s been especially bad for the most partisan sites on both the left and right. Remember this when you read of this week’s newest threat […]

Channel 4 in the UK carried an investigative report from the British branch of Greenpeace based on a sting interview with Keith McCoy, a top lobbyist for ExxonMobil. McCoy spoke frankly to people he thought were headhunters searching for a D.C. lobbyist for a client. He said a lot of things he would never say […]

Rest in Justice: Jim Young, Founding PDD Member and Great Guy

Filed in National by on June 30, 2021 1 Comment

Jim was one of the early Howard Dean Meetup-ers and helped us get PDD off the ground when the Dean campaign ended. He was a clear thinking, tough-minded liberal who always took on more than his fair share.

I got this notification from 9th RD Chair, Kevin Caneco.

It is with great sadness, I bring news tonight that Jim Young, lion of the 8th RD, has passed.

Jim was a long time member and leader within the Delaware Democratic Party, and more importantly, a loving Dad, neighbor, and community leader.

I remember meeting Jim when I first joined the RD and how welcoming he was to me and my family. He wanted to tell me all about the MOT community and to make sure I supported the local library! Jim was one of a kind, a quiet, competent, driven individual who had nothing to prove in a world where egos can seem to be everywhere. He cared about his community, his country, and his party. I will miss Jim, and I know you all will as well.

As more information comes out about his services, we will be sure to pass it on.

The last guy had horrible, unpopular ideas.  And yet he got some shit done because he didn’t spend anytime trying to cajole or bargain with any mother-fuckers. Also in today’s open thread – gun violence that happens to other people, giving $19 million in tax money away to a massively wealthy Chinese drug Co., and being maskless was nice while it lasted.
