Where’s Lisa?
Has Lisa Blunt Rochester done anything to resist Trump? Has anyone heard of anything? Has she even arrived in DC yet? I’m seriously asking. This corrupt, criminal administration is waging a daily war on our democratic values. The House is in the hands of Democrats now. The Rep from Delaware has no excuse for laying […]
Carper Supports “Green New Deal”
The statement is as bullshitty as Carpers most bullshitty statements, full of self-congratulations and reminders that he fought in ‘Nam. If you want to think that this statement is a statement of support for The Green New Deal, you can do that. If at some point in the future, Carper decides to slink away from […]
Big Pharma gotta pharm!
Only in America are these companies permitted (encouraged?) to gouge consumers. More than three dozen drug companies welcomed the new year with sweeping price hikes on hundreds of medicines, according to a new analysis from Rx Savings Solutions, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The drugs that saw list-price increases on January […]
Northam Switches Parties, Becomes GOP Governor of Virginia
It isn’t a headline I expect to see, but it is the best outcome. Republicans don’t give a shit about blackface, and Democrats can keep their resentments simmering. Either that or just fucking gut it out. Hold a conference in Richmond about how terrible back-face is and what the Democratic process should be when some […]
Coons on Prayer in Politics “I’m the most Jesus-ed up mortherfucker in the whole goddam shithole!!”
That’s a paraphrase of course. Coons actually takes a humanist approach to prayer. In fact, you could call it “new age” if it was 1997.
So the headline is more like a fabrication than a paraphrase.
Yes, Virginia, Democrats Can Be Racists, Too
The Democratic Party’s zero-tolerance chickens have come home to Virginia to roost. When Gov. Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook photo was “discovered” last week, Democrats fell over each other to demand his resignation. Among their justifications for the swift judgment was the fact that the lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, is an African-American whose politics are […]
Charter Schools Report Card: “Corruption, fraud and diminished learning opportunities”
Eschaton points out that reality has caught up with Democratic charter school advocates, and it was perfectly predictable. After more than 20 years of growth nationally, it is noteworthy that some of the trend lines for charters are on the decline. This experiment with deregulation has resulted in massive corruption, fraud and diminished learning opportunities […]
SOTU – Open Thread
Trump could be popular if he pretended to be normal for a little bit. Americans don’t want an idiotic child-man in the White House. Chuck Todd and large swaths of the country would eat up a “normal” Trump.
Democrats (eg. CHRIS COONS) would love to be bipartisan with a President under multi criminal investigations is he would only stop being so Trumpy all the time.
Is Park City Kathy going to be as execrable as everyone thought she would be?
The jury is still out, but this isn’t a good start. Who the fuck swears in their twerpy looking assistant? “I hereby promise, on this here novelization of the movie Bridget Jones’s Diary, to be a sniveling lackey….” Well shit, This twerpy looking guy IS a wingnut radio personality. Great work Park City, Crushing it!
A Boy Named Trump
The story of the Claymont boy who was bullied because his last name is Trump made the news in Delaware a few weeks ago, but it didn’t seem worth much attention at the time — there are lots of people named Trump in this country, about 5,000 of them according to Wikipedia, almost a fifth […]
After 70 Years, Harry Themal Caps His Pen as News Journal Shrinkage Continues
Last week’s latest round of Gannett layoffs sounded almost benign — only three people lost their jobs at the News Journal — until you realize that number represented almost 10% of the newsroom staff. And the full-timers aren’t the only things readers won’t find in its ever-diminishing pages anymore. Harry Themal, whose career in local […]
