Coons’ Bipartisan Superpowers Fall Flat –  Season 8, Episode XXVII

Ending qualified immunity for cops is central to any meaningful police reform.   You might think that this, at long last  is a a time for Coons’ “meaningful friendships across the aisle,”  to come into play.  You would be wrong.   Sen.

Pete Schwartzkopf Must Resign as Speaker

Filed in National by on June 12, 2020 6 Comments

Pete Schwartzkopf has politicized Delaware’s police and elevated them to a branch of government, co-equal to the legislature. NOBODY ever FUCKING VOTED FOR THIS!

News Journal yesterday:

But the top-ranking Democrat, who voiced support for the Black Caucus’ proposed reforms at a Wednesday press conference, warned during the interview that proposed regulations such as body cameras aren’t going to become laws without police approval. “A legislator writing a policy is not going to get the approval of the law enforcement officers, I’m going to tell you that right now,” Schwartzkopf said.

Pete Schwartzkopf must resign and ALL Democrats MUST renounce this utter bullshit. All street actions should now include demands for Pete Schwartzkopf’s removal.

Song of the Day 6/7: Randy Rainbow, “Bunker Boy”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on June 7, 2020 0 Comments

So much for that image of strength Trump was trying to project by refusing to wear a mask. Between his Fence of Invincibility and his Bunker Inspection Tour, he’s managed to convey the image of a bowl of quivering curds. He’s poutine minus the potatoes. Even Randy Rainbow has noticed.

Song of the Day 6/5: Bob Mould, “American Crisis”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on June 5, 2020 2 Comments

Well, now Trump’s done it. He’s gone and pissed off former Hüsker Dü and Sugar frontman Bob Mould. Granted, that isn’t too hard to do — Mould has made a nearly 40-year career of getting tunefully pissed off — but it was only last year that he released an uncharacteristically optimistic LP, “Sunshine Rock.” The […]
