Beto O’Rourke caused a stir at the Democratic debate by saying “Hell yes, we’re gonna take your AR-15” in describing his call for a buy-back program. A Republican state lawmaker in Texas responded by tweet,“my AR is ready for you, Robert Francis.” O’Rourke’s response: “This is a death threat, Representative. Clearly, you shouldn’t own an […]
Some Random Dem Debate Thoughts & The Trump Beating Index
This is the first debate I watched from beginning to end. – Castro and Klobi had good closing stories. Other than that, they were not impressive. – Most were oddly deferential to Beto. – Yang is hanging in. – Bernie seemed older than ever. Can’t be Bernie (sadly) – Mayor Pete is always solid. – […]
Coons on Morning Joe – Thinks Republican Senators Can Be Partners in Gun Control
Full disclosure: I didn’t see much, but the few seconds I saw were very standard Chris “The Republicans are Our Friends and Partners in Good Government” Coons. If I missed some part where he was connecting with reality please let me know.
AOC makes a great point about impeachment
I want to see every Republican go on the record and knowingly vote against impeachment of this president, knowing his corruption, having it on the record, so that they can have that stain on their careers for the rest of their lives. — AOC Via Mother Jones by way of Daily kos.
Delaware Has a Lot to Fear From Elizabeth Warren
Maybe you saw the story about CNBC shouter Jim Cramer saying Wall Street was freaking out about the possibility of a President Elizabeth Warren, claiming he’s heard a lot of people saying “She’s got to be stopped.” According to this article previewing tonight’s debate, it’s not just Wall Street that should be worried.

Jerry Falwell Jr asking the FBI to investigate the Cuckold Fetish rumours swirling around him might be opening a can of worms.

Mitch Crane, Stop Carrying Water for Trump Supporters
Crane wants to pretend that the Stonewall Democrats endorsement of Mike Ramone was kosher because they aren’t Democrats (technically), and also “rules.”
And yet, the Delaware Stonewall Democrats Web Page is still live and the Twitter account is still up. Moribund but live. So if you search for “Stonewall & Delaware” guess where you go? Spoiler, it isn’t a “We aren’t Democrats” page.
WTF, Mitch? Get your shit sorted out.
NC Special Election today will be a close one
Trump’s net approval in North Carolina is -2. The district is reliably red, and the Republican is a full-throated #MAGA fuckwit. The Democrat, Dan McCready, is polling slightly ahead. President Trump is betting that his political brand will help Republicans keep hold of a North Carolina U.S. House seat in a special election Tuesday. “To […]
Trump’s Big, Dumb, Imaginary Wall Is Now Even More Important Than Free Money
As Charles Pierce points out, the proximate issue is stealing $48 million in military spending earmarked for child-care and new schools. But the subtextual issue, as usual, the obscene deference Congress is giving to the Manchurian Pumpkin. It is a disease afflicting Democrats and Republicans alike. Back when the Affordable Care Act was new, and […]
Hey Lisa Blunt Rochester, How About an Investigation into the Media Black Out on Climate Change ?
Lisa,
We all know that you aren’t in congress to ruffle any feathers. You are just keeping your head down and waiting for Carper to kick the bucket. You’ve been very candid about that. We get it. But there are some issues that enjoy wide support that you can get use to help your constituents (HI!) while helping build your bi-partisan bona-fides. Climate Change for example.
Media Matters reports that “despite the destructive power of Hurricane Dorian, broadcast TV news aired just one segment from August 28 through September 5 that mentioned the links between climate change and hurricanes like Dorian. CBS ran the only segment, while ABC and NBC both failed to air a single segment linking climate change to the development and destruction of Dorian.”
That’s 216 segments on Dorian and just one mentioned climate change. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Get some earned media. I know you don’t NEED it given your strategy of just hanging around and waiting to be elevated to the senate on the smoke from Carper’s funeral pyre – but the country NEEDS it. Your Delaware constituents NEED it. That should count for something.
Zero Shits Will Be Given by Pelosi and Schumer
