If Trump wants to hurt Barr he shouldn’t fire him
Trump’s brain is such a worm-eaten mess, he doesn’t see that Barr is playing him like a fiddle. I actually hope (Barr firing) doesn’t happen because, as Paul said earlier this week, it seems pretty clear that the wily old Phalangist is angling to get back in the good graces of as much as the […]
I’m not ready for a little Christmas
Little Thanksgiving was strange but doable. Little Christmas is going to be rough. I’ve adopted the 100% secular American Christmas and so much has to do with family and friends. Scaling that all the way down to the four people in our nuclear family bubble is going to suck. I understand the need for little Christmas, but I’m not emotionally ready for it.
September 11, 2001 – 2,977 Dead
During the September 11 attacks of 2001, 2,977 people were killed, 19 hijackers committed murder–suicide, and more than 6,000 others were injured. The immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes (including the terrorists), 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon.
(CNN)There were 3,157 Covid-19 deaths reported Wednesday — an all-time high for the pandemic — and health care systems are struggling to support the weight of worsening impacts.
On this day in history – John Carney Sucked
This time of year wrap ups and year in review type posts feature prominently on the blog. On this day in 2013 we looked back on John Carney’s first year in Congress – a year spent trying to build his brand as a guy who would do anything to partner with Teabag zealots in order […]
Chadderdon – Senate Majority Caucus Chief of Staff
I’m sure El Som will have more on the implications – but Chadderdon is widely regarded as a Democrat who gets it. This is good news for people who want Democrats to act like Democrats.
DOVER – The Delaware Senate Majority Caucus on Tuesday announced the hiring of Jesse Chadderdon as its next chief of staff.
As a former communications director for the Senate Majority Caucus and the current executive director of the Delaware Democratic Party, Chadderdon brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the newly expanded caucus.
“Jesse has the experience and knowledge needed to step in quickly and guide our operations through these challenging times,” President Pro Tempore-Elect David Sokola said. “He has proven himself to be a capable leader time and time again, and I am thrilled he will be re-joining us for the start of 151st General Assembly and this new direction for the Delaware State Senate.”
Coons to denounce Biden’s incoming principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in 5, 4, 3, 2…
It is pavlovian. Some wingnuts accused a Democrat of being anti-israel, so Coons has to jump in to prove how bi-partisan and pro-Likud Party he is. Right-wing media are now setting out to demonize one of President-elect Joe Biden’s newly announced staff appointees, singling out the incoming principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, a former […]
Delaware’s 10 Most Gullible Dumbfucks
The most gullible dumbfuck is Michele Rollins of Greenville who contributed $58,400 to Trump and Trump supporting pacs.
See the next 9 most gullible dumbfuck (measured in money) below the fold. Three notes on my methodology:
1) Looking at totals contributed isn’t really fair to the broke-ass gullible dumbfucks who really felt the $500 they donated while to Michele Rollins, $58,000 is nothing.
2) Rollins and the other top ten most gullible dumbfucks might be much dumber than these figures show. I only searched by “Trump” in the title and they may have contributed to any number of “Patriot” “Jesus” “Horny for the Flag” PACs that supported Trump without putting his name on the masthead.
3) These figures explode the myth that there are sensible “Mike Castle” Republicans hiding out in “Never Trump” enclaves like Greenville, waiting to take back the party. The wealthy Republicans are every bit as susceptible to Trump’s racist bullshit as the broke-ass losers. The chateaux country zip (19870) contributed $366,490 alone.
This is a conspiracy theory I can endorse 100%
MAGAs threaten to boycott GA Senate runoff; President Donald Trump’s demonization of mail-in voting may have cost him votes in the recent election. Now, his demonization of Georgia’s entire electoral system is hurting his party’s chances at keeping the Senate. Driven by Trump’s insistence that Georgia’s elections are indelibly rife with fraud, conspiratorial MAGA figures […]
Trump International Hotel will be shuttered in 7 months (by June 25th, 2021)
Anybody want to take the over for $1.00?
Fuck you, Coons
Sure there are many villains in non-transition situation, but don’t forget the role of Democrats like Coons who are always bowing and scraping to Republicans. Always fucking lying about members of the GOP, making excuses for them and being dishonest about the GOP’s willingness to cooperate. Fuck you, Dude.
Trump’s Plan is to Hopelessly Hobble Biden’s Presidency – Biden’s Plan is to Allow it.
Trump isn’t trying to stay in office, he is trying to insulate himself and extend his presidential immunity beyond his Presidency. To accomplish this he needs to make Biden an irredeemably weak President. We can laugh and point at the clown show, but Trump’s strategy is working. Biden is looking weak, having adopted the posture […]
Song of the Day 11/19: AC/DC, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
Theme song for Trump’s legal team, though I’m skeptical about the “done dirt cheap” part. Of course, they’re cheap from Trump’s standpoint — he’ll just stiff them. AC/DC didn’t break in the States right away. This was the title song to a 1976 LP, recorded while Bon Scott was still alive. The song and album […]
UD Spring Enrollment Crashing?
I heard that a very small number of students are enrolled for classes at the University of Delaware for the Spring semester. Typical enrollment is around 19,000 students. The number I heard is so low that, frankly, it seems absurd. If anyone has any firsthand knowledge of the enrollment numbers, or credible second hand information […]
