Delaware’s “Rt value” is in the middle of the pack
John Carney’s covid leadership has been perfectly average.
Rt, a key measure of how fast the virus is growing. It’s the average number of people who become infected by an infectious person. If Rt is above 1.0, the virus will spread quickly. When Rt is below 1.0, the virus will stop spreading”
Delaware’s Rt is 1.06
For Republicans, Trumpism vs. Democracy Is a No-Brainer
I keep seeing headlines that say Republicans have to choose between Trumpism or democracy. How silly. Republicans don’t believe in democracy. If they did, they would tailor their positions to appeal to a majority. They never have. They instead have, for 40 years, focused their efforts on disqualifying enough voters so they have a majority […]
“Breaking: Mike Ramone ‘fully supports’ Trump’s coup attempt”
That headline would be troubling wouldn’t it? The fact is that we don’t know where Mike Ramone stands in Trump’s ongoing coup attempt because as Alby points out – NOBODY in this state’s media has the guts to pick up the fucking phone.
Trump’s Batshit Crazy Phone Call To The Georgia Secretary Of State
Wow, I mean, wow! Even by Trump standards, this is insane: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/d45acb92-4dc4-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes.’ BTW, this call took place–yesterday.
Has Biden Botched Trump’s Tantrum?
Biden has his reasons for appearing aloof and not much of a fighter in the face of Trump’s ongoing attacks on American democracy. Ceding the field to Republicans and waiting for them to stumble over their own idiocy is a favorite strategy of DC-based dems like Biden.
The track record of that strategy isn’t mixed. It sucks.
On January 6th Trump is encouraging his empty-headed followers to protest in support of Trump’s ongoing, anti-American attempts to overturn the election results. Biden should not let the day pass without landing some haymakers on Trump.
We have a name for people like Trump who come in second in elections – losers
If he thinks he can beat me, he should run for the Republicans nomination. If Republicans are stupid enough to nominate him – I’ll beat his ass agin.
Trump is a loser and a complete failure.
Trump keeps failing because his arguments are as flimsy and weak as the flimsy 2 miles of border wall he built.
The war Trump is trying to start is rhetorical (for now). It is well past time for Biden to join the battle.
Coons Says Super Secret BiPartisan Senate Caucus Going to Spring into Action in Three Weeks – Gets Quizzical Looks from Anchors
On CBS this morning Coons just said that his Super Secret BiPartisan Senate Caucus is keeping a low profile and not challenging MCConnell – BUT will come out swinging when Biden take over. Even the holiday temps staffing CBS This morning were not having it.
Jericka Duncan: Two attemps to raise the stiumuf failed in the senate. You are know for having good relationships with Republicans what are they thinking, and is this likely to pass the Senate?
Coons: The Senate will fail to raise the stimulus payments. But in three weeks we’ll “reset” and give Bipartisan Caucus a chance to come out of hiding. Especially if we win Georgia run offs. We’ll be cooperating an compromising our mother-fucking asses off. [paraphrase]
David Begnaud: Huh? How is this (bipartisan harmony and cooperation) all of a sudden going to work when Bidebn takes over? [paraphrase]
Coons: It’s going to be very difficult. [actual quote]
Song of the Day 12/28: Petula Clark, “Downtown”
Given that there’s no sign yet that Nashville suicide bomber Anthony Quinn Warner left a suicide note, let alone a manifesto, people grasping for his motive have seized on the fact that he chose* this 1964 Petula Clark smash to blast over a loudspeaker in his RV between warnings to evacuate the area. Is there […]
Song of the Day 12/27: Incubus, “Pardon Me”
This one’s for all the criminals, creeps and Republicans — but I repeat myself — who want a last-minute pardon from Donnie Two Scoops. This is the song that exposed Incubus to a wide audience. The version on the “Make Yourself” LP, released in 1999, is an alt-metal squall of sound that hammers home the […]
The goddam grain of truth
Trump always wraps his disgusting lies around a grain of truth.
NAFTA did suck – and it was the Dems fault.
The $600 stimulus check was a disgusting joke and the Dems voted for it.
He was right about those two things.
