Anyone who thinks sober centrist dipshits can’t move any further to the right – just wait ten minutes
Anything that drags the GOP further to the right also moves our dipshit centrist Dems to the right. The holy & pristine “middle” exists and by god, they will find it.

The monumental GOP hissy fit that would ensue makes the 14th Amendment solution all the more desirable
Growing List Of Dems Urge Biden To Cite 14th Amendment To Sidestep McCarthy’s Debt-Ceiling Hostage Crisis A growing group of Senate Democrats is urging President Joe Biden to seriously consider invoking the 14th Amendment to declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional, a strategy that — if upheld by the courts — could avert a looming default […]

A Brief Observation on the Verdict Declaring Donald Trump Sexually Assaulted E. Jean Carroll There was a time in the not-so-distant past when it was just fine to sexually harass and assault women. Slapping a woman on the ass was supposed to be taken as a compliment. Discussion about women’s looks and their fuckability was […]
Yay Capitalism!
Millions of Americans in the past few years have run into this experience: filing a health-care insurance claim that once might have been paid immediately but instead is just as quickly denied. If the experience and the insurer’s explanation often seem arbitrary and absurd, that might be because companies appear increasingly likely to employ computer […]
“Is Joe Biden the most horrible monster to ever run for President?”
The whole game for the GOP is raising enough wariness in the minds of Democratic voters to mute their election day enthusiasm. I can’t believe I still have to be saying some version of this every fucking day. And I can’t believe that enough dopes will fall for shit like this that it could work… […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday May 17 2023
Here is some stuff that happened… Is Carper really running? Roll Call is asking. Democratic Sen. Thomas R. Carper has yet to announce his plans as well and after Cardin, he had the lowest fundraising total among Democrats whose terms are up next year, raising just $195,000 in the first quarter. The 76-year-old incumbent has […]
BREAKING: Guiliani Accused Of Selling Pardons From Trump For $2 Mill Apiece
Along with some especially disgusting alleged sexual harassment. I won’t post the details. But you can click on the link.

Unless you are a migratory bird or a mosquito, there is absolutely no reason to go to any of these so-called “beaches”. The best ‘secret’ beaches in Delaware: Broadkill, Pickering, Slaughter. Plan your visit. _________________________________ I get all of my news from the comments section of this blog, and the Highlands Bunker Podcast. Anyhoo….The last […]
Last Fortnight’s Poll Results & This Fortnight’s Poll
It was supposed to run for a week, but I don’t think keeping it open for a fortnight changed the results much. Rochester is the person most of us think is going to be the next Jr Senator from Delaware. That makes sense. She is next in line and there is a depressing predictability to […]

Remember the migrant caravan from 2018 that turned out to be nothing? Migrants crossing the border without documentation dropped on Friday, the first day after Title 42 was lifted, two U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News. U.S. Customs and Border Protection stopped just over 6,200 undocumented migrants on Friday compared with roughly 11,000 on […]
The fallacy of Debt Limit “Brinksmanship”
The media continues to cover the “debt ceiling / budget negotiations” as if there are two sides trying to win concessions for their side. As if the Republicans are simply using the threat of financial disaster as bargaining leverage. It’s all bullshit. The GOP wants to destroy the world economy to own the libs and […]

McGuiness asks for new trial in Supreme Court appeal
An appeal filed by former State Auditor Kathleen McGuiness over her misdemeanor convictions in 2022 is winding its way through Delaware Supreme Court.
In an opening brief filed in March, McGuiness asks for a new trial largely based on Brady violations she says were made by the prosecution. A Brady violation occurs when a prosecutor fails to provide a defendant or criminal defense attorneys with any evidence that is favorable or helpful to a defendant’s case.
McGuiness’ legal team argues in a brief that the prosecution failed to provide exculpatory evidence in a timely manner that would show McGuiness is not guilty of the conflict of interest and official misconduct misdemeanors of which a jury found her guilty. She was sentenced in October 2022 to one year level 5 incarceration, which was suspended for one year of probation for both convictions. She was also fined $10,000 and ordered to serve 500 hours of community service.
