The U.S. Supreme Court today tossed a lawsuit claiming that former president Trump violated the constitutional prohibition against him receiving “emoluments”—profiting from a foreign governments. The court instructed the lower courts to wipe away a lower court opinion that went against Trump because he is no longer in office.

DL Open Thread: Monday, January 25, 2021

How does inflation work?  I think we all know the answer to that question because we’ve internalized Monetary Theory as babies internalize breast milk.  “Too many dollars chasing too few goods.”  When the demand in an economy strongly outweighs the money supply, prices go up.   Therefor money supply must be tight or we’ll have […]

Delawareans who tried to get a dose of Covid vaccine on Saturday spent up to seven hours waiting in line, and many gave up before getting a shot. Republicans, like vampires, aren’t good at self-reflection, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that after about 24 hours of acting stunned, GOPers have decided not to rethink anything, […]

The great slugger Henry Aaron died yesterday and the accolades are pouring in. Here’s a song about Hammerin’ Hank, who passed Babe Ruth’s career home run record […]

Biden’s Unity isn’t Coons’ “meet in the middle” Faux Unity

Biden’s Unity isn’t Coons’  “meet in the middle”  Faux Unity

I was buoyed by Biden’s speech. He talked about the importance of “truth” and honor. I hope Coons was listening. Because while Coons figures that bipartisanship means compromising on basic principles – Biden’s view appears to be that truth is more important than meeting in the middle.

I’ve often said that Coon’s version of bipartisanship amounts to “We say 1+1=2, but they say 1+1=4, so the truth must lie in the middle and 1+1=3.

Coons is a slave to a logical fallacy called argument to moderation. Biden basically said “Fuck no. 1+1=2 and let’s get some unity around that simple truth.”

This Andrews thing is really an embarrassing mess.

“We will be back in some form.”

In handcuffs?

Open Thread II:

Until he is found guilty and thrown in jail, I’d be happy if this was the last time Trump is ever mentioned in the media.   I guess many of us are going to be following along with the TV today.  You can put your observations here.

DL Open Thread 1/20/21:  Inauguration Day

It is  almost equal parts “Fuck off, Trump, you piece of shit DAY!” and Inauguration Day.  It is too bad that Trump was able to fuck up the transition as much as he did.  But when you look at his track record of fucking things up, the over the top level of fucked-upedness wasn’t at […]

UPDATED: A Pathetic, Fucked in the Head Jane Brady Argues in Favor of the DEGOP Keeping the Racism Going in Transparent Bid to Curry Favor With Witzke

The shambling zombified corpse that is the DEGOP is being led by a cynical fucker who is unguarded about keeping the hate and racism going.

Brady says whether or not Trump has a political future, Republicans must fight to keep the supporters he brought into the party.

“I mean he didn’t agree with everybody on everything, and he said what he thought,” she said. “People felt emboldened to say what they thought. I think that’s a good thing.”
