What Chris Coons Gets for His Bipartisanship — Trump in His Face

Filed in Delaware, National by on February 14, 2019 6 Comments

Politico posted a story yesterday about Donald Trump’s supposed growing embrace of Christianist ideals, and chose as its opening anecdote this vignette starring none other than our senator, Fightin’ Chris Coons, the Bipartisan Brawler. The night before last week’s National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump was hosting religious leaders and lawmakers for dinner at the […]

Don’t Sleep on Pete Buttigieg

Don’t Sleep on Pete Buttigieg

Buttigieg was on Morning Joe this morning. The youtube grab has been added below. Well worth your time to check it out. He is a strong progressive that doesn’t get dragged into the stupid “left/right” mud pit that TV talking heads love so much.

“I don’t think that it is a crazy left-wing idea that we need to do something about climate change on par with the crisis that it is. A Green New Deal isn’t leftist, it’s practical.”

Holy Shit – Kathy McGuiness REALLY swore in her Assistant, who is really a wingnut

I’m in shock. It turns out that the Twerpy looking dude (Rob Peetree), the wingnut radio personality from Sussex who bit hard on the stupid “Chris Coons called on to change his name” story, really is Park City’s assistant and their work relationship really was consummated with a make-believe swearing in. I mean… I’m just…

Fucking… what?

The levels of stupidity of this story are truly astonishing.

President Sean Hannity Really Doesn’t Like the Bipartisan Border Deal

Yesterday President Hannity said, “By the way, on this new so-called compromise, I’m getting details. $1.3 billion? That’s not even a wall, a barrier… We will get back into this tomorrow. Any Republican that supports this garbage compromise, you will have to explain—look at this crowd, look at the country.” Today the House “Freedom Caucus” […]

Can the Queen Save the UK from Brexit?

Ford announced that it is preparing to exit the UK. That’s a lot of manufacturing jobs going “poof” in a little over a month. In 44 days the UK will exit the European Union without an agreement on tariffs and trade, barring some unforeseen remedy. Knowing the UK (a little) I think the unforeseen remedy […]

I’m calling for Chris Coons to Step Down

Calling for people to step down is all the rage these, so why not? I hereby call for Chris Coons to step down. The only choice right now, for the sake of the state and the country, is for Chris Coons to resign. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, CHRIS.

That felt great!

Budget Deficit Crisis Déjà vu

Does anyone else have the eerie feeling of having already lived through “THE DEFICIT!! it’s gonna KILL US!!!!!” ?

I think can all agree that “THE DEFICIT!!” only matters when Democrats want to invest some peanuts in something that helps the poors. Billions for bombs and walls? No problem. The money will appear as if by magic.

Politics as usual is not cutting it

While Lisa Blunt Rochester sees things in this country as basically peachy, most of us know that we are in the midst of a crisis. Many DL readers realize that the current situation demands that we take a wholly different approach to politics and elections and that we cannot rely on languid, laissez-faire “leaders” like […]

We are going to need everyone on board for whoever wins the nomination, so I’m willing to give Klobuchar a shot. Ultimately, I love whoever the Democrats nominate provided the contest is fair and transparent. – Via NYT

Wingnuts Should be Ignored

Filed in National by on February 10, 2019 18 Comments

As if on cue, some nitwit Fox News viewer pens a letter to the Delaware State News about how LBR doesn’t give fair time to the right-wing idiot perspective. I received a letter from Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, dated Jan. 17, 2019, regarding the partial government shutdown. Unfortunately, I feel her letter was one-sided in […]

National Enquirer Business Plan Could Save Journalism

Filed in National by on February 9, 2019 7 Comments

As you’ve heard by now, the National Enquirer tried to blackmail Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, threatening to publish his dick pics if he didn’t back off investigating AMI, the Enquirer’s corporate parent. Judging by what I’ve seen in print, people aren’t surprised at the sleaziness of this; it was revealed months ago that the […]
