I can’t wait for Coons to make a big, showy public break with Biden [over something beloved bit of DC insider nonsense] in order to prove to DC that he truly is the bipartisan hero. It is inevitable.
Atrios Said This:
They got Trump on eleventy million lies, and to avoid accusations of BIAS, they’ll “find” eleventy million “lies” from Biden’s administration, too. –

The Stockholm Syndrome Party:
During a press conference with House managers after Trump’s second impeachment trial, Nancy Pelosi said: “I think our country needs a strong Republican party. It’s very important.”
When was the last time you heard a Republicans say that the country needs a strong Democratic Party? Bottom Line: The Democratic Party leadership is comprised of very wealthy people who do not trust the instincts of Americans who are not rich. Yes – I’m looking at you, Coons.
I have zero faith in Dover passing any kind of legalization that doesn’t: A) Suck, and B) Further enrich some cabal of insiders.
Bill to legalize marijuana in Delaware to be filed soon – Delaware State News
Gov. John Carney has consistently opposed legalization, with a spokesman last week declining to speculate what the governor would do if the bill reaches his desk.
These “Republicans fractured” stories are nice, but a little far fetched. They’ll do whatever the fuck Trump tells them to do. Change my mind. Also, is it news to anyone that Republicans are a bunch of racist assholes? Certainly that is not news to republicans.
Trump’s acquittal further polarizes factions within the GOP
DL Open Thread Sunday, Feb. 14, 2021
Quote of the Day: You can lead a Republican to objective reality, but you can’t make him pull his head out of Donald Trump’s ass. Trump was acquitted by the Senate, demonstrating yet again that the Republican Party is a collection of greed-damaged shit-maggots. That they would do so in the face of Trump’s attempts […]

Senate Decided Not to Call Trump Impeachment Witnesses Because ‘People Want to Get Home for Valentine’s Day’: Report Senate Democrats had, despite their collective vote to hear witnesses, not actually wanted to do anything of the sort and quickly rushed to undo the motion at the request of President Joe Biden‘s leading man in the […]
Trump Acquitted.
57-43. 7 R’s voted to convict: Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, Richard Burr, and Bill Cassidy. That’s a lot. 43 Rethugs sealed their names in history.
Contentious Dems Vs Contented Dems
I understand that some people don’t like confrontation. But to be so devoted to non-confrontation that you prefer humiliation at the hands of scoundrels is beyond me.
Blog Nostalgia
In a way I miss the days when Republican fuckwits would come here and try to defend the horrible shit elected Republicans were up to. It would be especially interesting to hear them argue that attacking the congress and killing cops is OK because …Maxine Waters…used the word ‘fight’ once …(?)
Song of the Day 2/11: Bruce Springsteen, “I’m Goin’ Down”
Prompted by the fact that Bruce Springsteen is having perhaps the roughest week of his public life. First he filmed a commercial for the first time — for Jeep, of all corporation-people — that was panned by people across the political spectrum. That dust hadn’t settled when news of a DUI arrest last November hit […]

The takeaway from the second day of “Impeachment 2: Impeach Harder” seems to be that Trump deliberately riled up his mob to target VP Mike Pence. Lots of people were shocked at how close rioters came to getting their hands on lawmakers. You knew this already, but now there’s evidence in the form of memos: […]
The Dumbfuck Uprising
Facing financial ruin, did these dumbfucks ever say “Wow, capitalism really is bullshit.” Nope. They said, “I’ll fight for Trump. He cares about regular people like me.” It is really tough to feel sympathy for people this eager to be duped. More than 200 people are facing federal criminal charges for their alleged roles in […]
Making What’s Left of Trump’s Life Miserable
Trump impeachment “defense” lawyer Bruce Castor says ‘don’t impeach, just go to Mara Lago arrest him.’
I say impeach AND go arrest him.
ATLANTA — Prosecutors in Fulton County have initiated a criminal investigation into former President Donald J. Trump’s attempts to overturn Georgia’s election results, including a phone call he made to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Mr. Trump pressured him to “find” enough votes to help him reverse his loss.
On Wednesday, Fani Willis, the recently elected Democratic prosecutor in Fulton County, sent a letter to numerous officials in state government, including Mr. Raffensperger, requesting that they preserve documents related to Mr. Trump’s call, according to a state official with knowledge of the letter. The letter explicitly stated that the request was part of a criminal investigation, said the official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal matters.
