DL Open Thread Wednesday July 26 2023
Say what you want about Trump, but you have to give him credit for bankrupting the Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota state Republican Parties. Former President Donald Trump and even some of his key GOP rivals may be raking in money — but at the state level, it’s a different story. State Republican Parties in […]
Patriotism Police
I’ve noticed this at Phillies games. There are self-appointed patriotism enforcers who will scream at you if they think you are taking too long to remove your hat during National Anthem. It is ridiculous and annoying wingnut virtue signaling. And oh yeah, they also think you should stand up for “God Bless America” which is […]
Did the climate change asteroid finally hit this summer?
It seems like climate change has suddenly become a thing. I mean it has been a thing for a while now, but a thing this country could all easily laugh off or ignore. It was sneaking up on us. 78 degrees and sunny in November? Yes, please! Now it is here and that’s good, right? […]

This will work. Mitt Romney has a plan to disrupt the “apparent inevitability” of Donald Trump locking up the GOP presidential nomination. Romney is calling on donors and influencers to get candidates to drop out by late February. Have you heard? It seems that Delaware legalized marijuana. Where should Delaware’s marijuana stores go? Sussex County considers legal options for areas […]
Last Week’s Poll Results and This Week’s Poll
It seems like last week’s poll turned into a McBride v Young proxy battle. But who is who? Is McBride the AOC/Sanders and Young is the Joe Biden? I guess it is possible. Living outside of Wilmington I know virtually nothing of Young, so he could be the “traditional democrat” in this round of voting. His announcement certainly strikes that tone. Similarly, you could say that McBride is the AOC here if you stand her up next to someone like Chris Coons, for example.
Which type of candidate would you prefer as your next congressperson?
- A progressive democrat like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Occasio-Cortez
- A traditional democrat like Joe Biden
Total Votes: 128
This week’s poll – How do you think the Israel vote will go down?
Song of the Day 7/24: Randy Newman, “Sail Away”
For 200 years now some people have maintained that slavery was a benefit to the enslaved – “They were better off than they were in Africa” goes the refrain. In Florida, that’s now official history. Under the state’s new educational standards, students will be taught that slavery benefitted the enslaved. Abraham Lincoln had the proper […]
Chris Coons Viewed as Weak Link as Biden Tries to Keep Senate Dems Unified on Tommy Tuberville
President Biden announced more military nominees as Sen. Tuberville digs in on blocking them. And yet, while the president called the Alabama Republican’s hold on promotions and nominations “dangerous,” and asked the Senate to quickly confirm the nominees, it is a Democrat that wants to cave to Tuberville’s hostage taking – Chris Coons. According to […]

A home invasion is the ultimate wet dream of your average MAGA gun nut. Just listen to how that traumatic experience turned Claudia Trupp into a defense attorney, and campaigner for the innocence project.

I saw the Barbie movie….and I loved it!
If you know and like movies by Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Little Women), you know what you are getting into. You’ll see women pulled in every direction all at once. You’ll see the unremitting gaslighting that the patriarchy puts women through on a daily basis. You’ll see douche bros being douche bros. But you’ll also […]
If DeSantis peddles is Pelaton bike of bile really hard, he is sure to catch Trump
