Rep Sean Lynn on Being the Target of the DeGOP’s Unhinged Hate Campaign

Filed in National by on March 21, 2021 18 Comments

I don’t even know where to begin with this post, but given the sheer number of calls, texts and emails I’ve gotten today, I feel like I have to address it. Sometimes, being in elected office is just not fun. Today, unfortunately, is one of those days. For most of the last year I and […]

‘Legislative Ethics’ Doesn’t Have To Be An Oxymoron

Filed in National by on March 20, 2021 6 Comments

Let’s face it:  Only a few legislators habitually behave in an unethical manner.  Recent examples include Trey Paradee/Darius Brown (pushing legislation for his development lawyer brother/openly soliciting contributions from Minquadale garbage dump lobbyists respectively).  Longtime ethical scofflaws include Nicole ‘No Longer’ Poore, Our PAL Val Longhurst and, of course, Mike Ramone. Since the ethics of […]

The “crisis” on the southern border isn’t a crisis, it’s a logistics problem, as demonstrated by the administration’s vacillation about reopening the child migrant shelter in Homestead, Fla.. Other that bleating “crisis,” Republicans have no ideas on how to handle the influx of unaccompanied minors, currently running about 500 people a day. They do hope […]

A 21st Century Lynching

Filed in National by on March 17, 2021 0 Comments

While watching the video footage of the New Castle County police surround, awaken, menace and eventually kill Lymond Moses I could not shake this persistent plaguing thought.  Whatever happens we’re all going to be told why it was appropriate and just.

Read the whole thing.

Newly-Released Bodycam Video ‘Refutes’ Police’s Initial Account Of Fatal Shooting Of Lymond Moses “They were not in harm’s way at all. They were not in harm’s way. And that refutes them opening fire when it shows Lymond was not facing any officer directly,” Moses’ wife, Amanda Spence, said.   FUCK Mitch Mcconnell and his empty […]

DL Open Thread: Tuesday, March 16, 2021

Filed in National by on March 16, 2021 6 Comments

As the Acting Chairman of the Mid-Delaware Mike Ramone Haters Club, I fully endorse this attempt to make Ramone account for his abuse of office. Murkowski won as a write in but her hat can’t contain another rabbit. Chuck Schumer is having a little chat with Lisa Murkowski? The Alaska Republican Party has voted to […]

DL Open Thread: Monday the Ides of March, 2021

Filed in National by on March 15, 2021 2 Comments

“WAP” (an acronym for “Wet-Ass Pussy”) was performed on the Grammy’s last night by Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion. I’m not qualified to discuss the musical merits, but anything that triggers apoplexy in Tucker Carlson must have something going for it. Also, kudos to CBS. They’ve come a long way from not allowing the […]

Among the generally strong reviews of Joe Biden’s first presidential address, a few pundits are pointing out that the most important part wasn’t even spoken out loud: The overthrow of Ronald Reagan and the GOP’s insistence that “the government is the problem.” It’s even being noted that the current Joe Biden is a lot more […]

The Last Guy can’t even fuck up the GOP correctly

Filed in National by on March 14, 2021 1 Comment

Mired in legal battles, and his fundraising slowing to a trickle, TLG is looking more like the floundering loser he is and less like a king maker. He backed away from creating a third party and has soured on the costly prospect of launching his own TV empire or social media startup. His vow to […]

Republicans planning to “opt out” on infrastructure

Filed in National by on March 12, 2021 0 Comments

It would be great if voting against the upcoming infrastructure package was framed as opting your sate or district out of the infrastructure bill. It would be even better if voting against the upcoming infrastructure package meant that you were opting your sate or district out of the infrastructure bill.

Breaking: Coons (not) Shocking Morning Joe Appearance

Filed in National by on March 12, 2021 11 Comments

Coons just managed to get through an entire Morning Joe package without mentioning bipartisanship or attacking liberals.

I was all set to hit send on this dumb little post and Coons mentioned that his efforts to expand national service are bi-partisan.

“…and this has been bipartisan, as you know in the last congress Senator Wicker and I had 16 Senators, eight from each party, join in supporting a bill to significantly expand Americore.”

The dream of the Super Secret Bi-Partisan Caucus lives on.

Schumer Disses Coons’s Super Secret Bi-Partisan Caucus (SSB-PC)

When you diss Susan Collins, you are dissing the entire SSB-PC. Collins-Schumer rift shocks Senate. They haven’t even talked since the election; she’s talked with Biden four times. “Why Chuck seems to be going out of his way to alienate the most bipartisan member of the Senate is a mystery to me,” Collins said. Schumer […]
