I checked out Witzke’s FB page to see if she was blaming lack of support by the DEGOP for all the losing by MAGA school board candidates, and found these gems:

“Socialism” is now only a bad word among Republicans and so-called “moderate” Democrats who pay entirely too much attention to what Republicans think.
Turns out Van Morrison is a antisemitic dick. Also, turns out, a Space Force lieutenant colonel is a Trumper dick. But first, the dull, ever present pain of knowing that the GOP only cares about fucking shit up.
Democrats in Array
Having joined my RD, I’m getting mail from people running for Chair and Vice-Chair of the Delaware Democratic Party.
Elizabeth Maron is running for a full term as State Chair. I think she might be MUCH to timid to be the Chair right now.
The 9th endorsed Debbie Harrington for Vice-Chair, and office that Coby Owens is also competing for. I know there are others. Who are they? Who are you supporting?
Right now I would call myself persuadable.

We now have demonstrative proof that today’s Americans are stupider than Americans of the past. We had actual gas shortages in the 1970s, and officials didn’t have to issue warnings not to put gasoline in plastic bags. What could be stupider? How about pumping gas into a laundry basket? That stupid enough for ya? The […]
GOP Civil War Comes to Delaware – Factions Square Off In Pitched Street Battles
One one side you have the Trumpers; Witzke and all of the the downstate GOP, Republican Primary voters, Republican general election voters, campaign donors and the right wing media complex. On the other side you have the Republicans who try to pretend that they aren’t Republicans; Kevin Hensley, Mike Ramone, Chris Coons.
You can see the fallacious thinking at work here, right? There is no opposition to the Trumpers. There is no GOP civil war in Delaware or anywhere. It is a fucking joke concocted (like this headline) for clicks and page views.
Hensley, Ramone and Coons will lay the fuck down and do what ever Trump tells them to do. So while it is fun to make pretend that the GOP is facing a split, I know DL readers are smarter enough to see through the hype.

Sorry for the delay, we had some issues with WordPress. Joe Biden’s statement of support for Israel did not sit well with some progressives in Congress, so the media is celebrating their chance to dust off the “Democrats in disarray” headlines. Here’s a challenge for you: Find me an American who cares more about this […]
Your tax dollars at work.
Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. … In 2016, the U.S. and Israeli governments signed their third 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on military aid, covering FY2019 to FY2028. Under the terms of the MOU, the United States pledged to provide—subject to congressional appropriation—$38 billion in […]
WDEL: Coons To Take Leadership Role Of ‘Progressive’ Organization From Jack Markell
I can’t make this up. Who is this Sean Greene who wrote this joke of a story?: Delaware Senator Chris Coons will step into a role held by former Governor Jack Markell leading a national progressive organization. Coons has been promoted from Honorary Regional Chair to Honorary Chair of NewDEAL, which its website describes as […]

Israel and the Palestinians are fighting again. This is news in the same sense that the weather is news — the particulars change, and sometimes there’s a hurricane, but the most common forecast from the meteorologists is “clouds and sun,” which pretty much covers the whole spectrum, doesn’t it? The violence has a clear cause […]
Pfffttt….yeah, right…”dozens”
Until I see some legitimate action, the “GOP Rationals” are as imaginary to me as Big Foot & Jesus.
Dozens of Republicans are planning to call for reforms amid escalating divisions within their party and are threatening to form a separate group if GOP members do not break away from former President Trump.
The more than 100 former Republican officials are expected to release their demands in a letter on Thursday titled “A Call For American Renewal,” according to plans shared with Reuters and later reported by NBC News.
The letter states that Republicans must “either reimagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative,” according to NBC News.
Song of the Day 5/12: Tré Burt, “Under the Devil’s Knee”
Protest songs are pretty common, but really effective ones are not. I heard this the other night on the folk show on WXPN, and I think it belongs in the latter category. All I know is about him is that he’s from Sacramento and has been signed by John Prine’s Oh Boy Records, signifying a […]

Once you’re fully vaccinated, your chances of getting a serious case of COVID-19 are vanishingly small:
Also, There is essentially no outdoor transmission of Covid-19.
Jane Brady attached the DEGOP to “patriot” candidates in order to scoop up some unearned electoral glory. How did that work for you, Jane?
But first, read Heather Cox Richardson’s post on the Liz Cheney’s speech last night and leadership vote scheduled for today.
