Dog bites man.  Trump is a dummy with bad judgement.  Of course he takes an unproven drug that he heard about on Fox News. Also, Trump is fat.   “He’s our president, and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and his, shall we say, weight group ... morbidly obese,

Chris Coons' good buddy, Alex Azar, has a new talking point:

During his commencement speech for graduates of the nation's historically black colleges and universities, Obama scorched Trump's incompetence: 

The pandemic has "torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing," said the former president in a digital commencement speech. "A lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge."

Then in a virtual commencement address to graduating high school seniors across the country Obama called Trump and infantile loser: 

"Doing what feels good, what’s convenient, what’s easy, that’s how little kids think," Obama said. "Unfortunately a lot of so-called grownups, including some with fancy titles, important jobs, still think that way, which is why things are so screwed up."

Trump has ordered congress to put Obama through a show trial for something the right wing fever swamps calls “OBAMAGATE” (a largely incoherent conspiracy theory that positions former President Obama as the mastermind behind a conspiracy to use federal law enforcement to undermine Trump’s campaign and presidency). This dangerous and outrageous demand has been met by silence by Delaware's congressional delegation.

Trump Flees From Reporters.  Notice how he spits out 'China' the same way the Church Lady spat out 'Satan'.  BTW, Asian-Americans used to vote for R's in fairly solid numbers. …

After an "in the dark of night" change in their bylaws which allowed an endorsement of Trump supporting Republican, Mike Ramone, in 2018 the Delaware Stonewall (not) Democrats endorsement process has come under more scrutiny this year. While Mike Ramone has recently broken with Trump privately, [by some accounts calling him a piece of shit] he has not publicly renounced the impeached President who is openly in contempt of LGBT Americans. According to the PAC's Political Vice-President, Mitch Crane, a public break with Trump has been considered a requirement for a 2020 endorsement from Stonewall. It isn't clear now if a private, behind closed doors, refutation of Trump will suffice for Stonewall to re-endorse the execrable Trump supporter who is facing a tough challenge from Stephanie Barry again this year. What is clear is the fact that the "wait and see" dynamic has created some drama around the endorsement in a year in which Trump and his enablers are roundly hated by a large majority of Delaware voters.

For what? Who the fuck knows what goes through his worm eaten brain. I do know, however, with Bill Barr as AG - Obama should keep a jet fueled on…

Apparently Mike Ramone is going around trashing the President in private, but, to my knowledge, he has yet to call Trump a low life piece of shit in public. Ramone is trying to have it both ways. Facing a tough challenger in Stephanie Barry and trying to snag the Stonewall PAC endorsement - Ramone is apparently trashing Trump to Democrats in private. It is an especially dickish move from Ramone. What the country need like now is people like Ramone coming out in public and telling the truth about the President. Everything else is tacit support.

REV talks with Natalia Alamdari about local news coverage of the Reade story on his podcast. I'm not buying into the Reade story, so I suppose I am taking part in the "stonewalling". I will say this though. Biden is definitely guilty of being an old white guy.
