Welcome to Impeachment Hell Day 4 – How to dig yourself out
If we’ve learned anything from the impeachment so far it is that the United States of America is not its armies. It isn’t its grand marble buildings and flags. It isn’t its soil, or even its constitution.
The United States of America is the premise that the people are in charge, and that the people want what is right and abhor what is wrong. It is a simple idea that has illuminated the globe. Even when we were terrible stewards of that idea, we turned to it just as in the cold of winter we turn our faces to the sun.
Now Mitch McConnell will work to overturn that premise. Mitch McConnell wants you to believe that you are powerless. McConell wants you to accept what is wrong out of your feelings of powerlessness. McConnell and Trump want you to buy the lie that the modern world is complex and “right and wrong” is old-timey bullshit.
They want you to think that the power belongs to the pompous and self-important. McConnell’s defense of the President will boil down to this perverted idea of the United States.
I hope we are not to ground down by cynicism to believe it. I hope we all know the truth. And that the truth becomes imbeded on our hearts and our heads. And above all, I hope the truth spurs us to defeat every Republican at every level of government and banish McConnell’s perversions now and forever.
presidentpence.com is stupid
presidentpence.com is stupid. It was put up by Bill Kristol who somehow really does think of himself as the last principled conservative. It is dumb but if it gets under Trump’s skin I’m all for it.
Welcome to Impeachment Hell Day 3 – How To Dig Yourself Out
Let’s face it – John Roberts is a fucking loser. He isn’t going to see that this is a fair trial. If anything he is a stand in for the empty-headed media seeking shame “balance” and false equivalencies in place of justice.
The only way to impeach Trump is to impeach every Republican running for every office everywhere.
Have you picked the races you are going to use to impeach Trump yet? Have you committed your time and money to impeaching Trump here in Delaware by removing his support structure?
If you want justice, work to impeach Trump in November by helping elect Eric Morrison.
If you want a national government that isn’t a dumpster fire, work to elect Madinah Wilson-Anton here in Delaware.
If you want to hurt Trump, help Larry Lambert.
Let your door knocking for Marie Pinkney be your vote to impeach Trump.
No savior is going to rise in the Senate. The House Dems have done all they can do. Now it is our job to get to the finish line and remove the stain of Trump from Delaware in every office and every district.
This ‘Whip Count’ Podcast Doesn’t Suck
The podcast I don’t listen to very often is from the House Dem Caucus. [Full disclosure – I listened once and it was nothing more than the House Dem Caucus breaking their arms off patting themselves on the back for some basic decency like being opposed to slavery.] Anyway… this one is good. Ruth Ann, […]

FFS Hillary, Move On
As in 2016, Hillary Clinton is exactly what Democrats DON’T need right now. In a new interview this month, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton took aim at current presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — and effectively made the case that 2016 is the year that won’t die. Clinton has blamed Sanders in the […]
Welcome to Impeachment Hell – How to dig yourself out
Mitch McConnell and the President ignore the charges outright, and instead brazenly argue that up is down, that wrong is right, and that 2+2 is now and always equal to 22.
Breathlessly, the “media” pretends that the Republicans have a fair point. Democrats pin their hopes on Susan Collins having a very belated epiphany.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, the ONLY impeachment that counts is the all encompassing and total impeachment of all trump supporting Republicans at the ballot box. Every DEGOP Trump enabler, at every level of government, must lose.
Turn your disgust into outrage. Find your Delaware candidate. Throw yourself into that race and work as if the country’s future depends on it, because it does.
Who truly is “the last good Republican” in Delaware?
I talk about this a lot because it bugs the fuck out of me. Mainly because as far as I can see, there are no good Republicans left in Delaware. Sure, there are a number of Republicans currently vying fo the title of “the last good Republican in Delaware.” Delcollo, Ramone, Cloutier and now Jordan […]
Trump Supporter, Anthony Delcollo, reveals Trump Support in HB73 vote
HB73 is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to eliminate restrictions on when absentee ballots can be cast. Delcollo, who has had some success pretending to be “one of the last good Republicans” couldn’t hide his trumpiness here though. Voter suppression is an important pillar of Trumpism so Delcollo’s inability to do the right […]
White-Power Extremists Headed for Va. Nabbed in Newark by FBI
This is what we get for being so close to Virginia. From WDEL: Three suspected members of a white supremacist extremist group were arrested on federal firearm and alien-related charges following a tactical operation Thursday morning at a Newark-area apartment complex, according to federal agents. Thirty-three-year old Brian Lemley, Jr., of Elkton, Maryland; 19-year old […]
Breaking: McBride trying to short-circuit primary challenge
From BlueDelaware: McBride’s bill sets the “primary election for all state offices up for election this year, 2020, will be held on April 28, 2020. A little more than three months away. The new filing deadline for the primary will be February 25, 2020, a little more than a month away.”
Senate President Pro Tempore Dave McBride is going to try to pull a fast one tomorrow that will, he thinks, endear him to progressives and liberals while at the same time short-circuiting the primary challenge he and others in the General Assembly may face.
House Bill 41 calls for moving the primary election from September to April. Delaware has the latest primary election in the country, and for years, people have been trying to move it earlier in the calendar. The reasons for this are clear: a mid September primary gives the winners of the primary little time to turn around and get ready for the general election in November. So reformers and progressives have been lobbying for this change for years.
Democrats Shouldn’t Dawdle on Gun Bills [UPDATE]: Virginia Braces For Gung-Ho Gun Nuts
As you might recall through the haze of Trumpian scandal, the Virginia legislature flipped to Democratic control in November. After the election, Democrats pledged to pass a package of gun-control laws — mostly the same agenda Delaware Democrats have punted on — gun-rights advocates are flipping out. The pledge sparked a grassroots pro-gun movement whose […]
If Democrats want to win the White House, they’ll nominate Bernie Sanders
Yes. It is that simple. The largest political party in America is the None of the Above Party, which garners more support than either the Democrats or the Republicans: that means that motivating eligible voters to go to the polls matters more than anything else when it comes to determining the outcome of federal elections. […]
