More News That’s Not About Trump
Against all evidence, events occur in the nation and world that have nothing to do with the tangerine tyro, or Americans’ obsession with him. To wit: Philadelphia refinery explosion visible from space: But only on infrared, thanks to our region’s new semi-permanent cloud cover. Vaping device explodes in teen’s mouth, shatters jaw: Now I can […]
Kerri Evelyn Harris Says What No Other Delaware Democrat Dares
Kerri Evelyn Harris joined scores of black politicians in condemning Joe Biden’s inarticulate-at-best remarks about getting along with segregationist senators early in his career. She told the Huffington Post, “That comment really took me back. It shows how removed he is at this moment of rising racial tensions that are coming back not unlike during […]
News That Isn’t About Trump
Hard as it may be to believe, or find evidence of in our media, things occur in the nation and world that have nothing to do with the marmalade menace, or Americans’ obsession with him. Just look at these fine news items from today alone: Experts find flesh-eating bacteria in Delaware Bay: A study by […]
Song of the Day 6/20: Neil Young, “Let’s Impeach the President”
Neil Young wrote and recorded his 2006 “Living With War” album in 10 days, and it often sounds like it. Granted, this isn’t a very good song if you remove the political content, but it serves as a timely reminded that Donald Trump is not the only Republican president of this century who deserves indictment […]
Our Stupid and Sadly Predictable War With Iran by the Numbers
1) John Bolton has always wanted to bomb something in Iran,
2) The WH will blame Iran for whatever a Fox News chyron tells them to blame them for,
3) John Bolton will kiss Trump’s ass today and tell him how strong and manly he is,
4) Trump will approve Bolton’s pet project of bombing something in Iran,
5) On the night of the bombing, Trump will appear on TV at 8:00 pm to take credit for the amazing success of Operation #AmericaFuckyeah!
6) Having been bombed will not sit well with Iran,
7) Senators (including, no doubt, Coons) will rush to mic to be a part of Operation #AmericaFuckYeah!
Early Election Line – Part 1 of Many
Since Celia Cohen retired from the biz, it falls to me to set the early matchups. Spoiler Alert: This is the roughest of rough drafts.
US SENATE- Democratic Primary
Chris Coons vs Unopposed
July 1, 2018 is the deadline for the party to set the filing fee. July 10th is the deadline for candidates to file for a Statewide Office. Since the Dem primary IS THE ELECTION, It will be a crime when Coons goes un-primaried. But I’m not hearing anything, so it looks like Coons gets a walk.
US SENATE- Republican Primary
Some Crazy Person vs Some Crazy Person
Let’s face it, Trump-fever continues to grip the DEGOP. Nobody with a chance of winning statewide will expose themselves to the deranged mob known as registered Republicans. So it looks like Coons gets a walk. How lucky is Coons? Castle gets taken out by a lunatic, then everyone just lays down like he is a young Mike Tyson.
Joe Van Winkle Comes Clean – He’d be a nicer version of Trump
JVW promised rich donors he won’t ‘Demonize’ the wealthy if elected President. “No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,” the former vice president said at a New York fundraiser on Tuesday. I reckon he’s right. No one’s standard of living will change. NO. ONES. Nothing would fundamentally change, NOTHING. He’d be […]
Why not Sarah?
Why doesn’t Sarah McBride primary John Carney? Seriously. She’d mop the floor with his sorry Chamber of Commerce beholden ass. Ask Tom Carper, politics is all about timing. She’d kill the lazy checked out fuck and be the country’s first trans Governor.
Beautiful new uniforms
From Trump’s ABC interview that nobody watched. This was in response to George Stephanopoulos’ observation that the national debt is going up on Trump’s watch. But I have to rebuild the military. They doubled the debt, and they didn’t do anything. They doubled the debt on nonsense. I took over a military that was totally […]
Trump is done. Whatever Dem wins the nomination is going to win the election easily.
With Texas and Arizona in the “toss-up” column, and Trump losing to every Dem in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, Trump is a dead man walking. And yet, the press is still covering the race as if Trump is a normal President running for re-election. This is just bad, lazy journalism. Josh Marshall gets it: […]
100% of Texas voters have already decided if they are voting for or against Trump
A new University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll shows Texas is locked in at 50/50. Half of the registered voters in Texas would vote to reelect President Donald Trump, but half of them would not, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll. Few of those voters were wishy-washy about it: 39% said they would “definitely” […]
Shorter DEGOP – Delaware Schools suck, so we need to underfund them to teach them a lesson
Do you like crazy, contradictory nonsense? Then you’ll love this update from the DEGOP. Democrat majorities in Dover are trying to take away your rights and remove direct accountability from your elected officials. Delaware schools have always been governed by two principles. First, decisions on how local schools should be run are determined by local […]
