Song of the Day 4/13: Eric Clapton, “Let It Rain”
Fort Lauderdale got two feet of rain in about 6 hours yesterday, so I think this should be the city’s new tourism song/slogan. Eric Clapton included this now-classic track on his first solo album in 1970. When released as a single until two years later, to promote his compilation LP “Eric Clapton at this Best,” […]
Maps
Trump is a visual guy. It stands to reason that he would get a tiny boner over a map with classified info on it, and show it off to his lickspittles, flunkies and agents of hostile governments who hang out at Mar-a–Lago.
Huckabee Sanders Gives a Glimpse of Kathy McGuiness Governorship
With hindsight, it is funny to think that McGuiness once considered herself someone with a real shot at being Governor of the State of Delaware. What would that have even looked like? Arkansas gives us a bit of a glimpse.
Looking to serve your state in some official capacity? First, kiss the ring,” wrote Austin Bailey. “The application form you must fill out to be considered for a post on state boards and commissions includes this question: ‘What is an accomplishment of the Governor’s that you admire the most?'”
As Bailey noted, this portion of the questionnaire allows a full 500 words — which is twice the length of the question, “What book have you read that would best define your life and why?”
Swimming pools and lavish gardens of the rich are driving water shortages, study says

Enlarge this image A new research study says that maintaining backyard pools, like this one pictured in Los Angeles in August, 2005, are one way that rich city dwellers are over-consuming water.

Republicans want sluts and whores to die
It is really that simple. There is no need to negotiate with the “pro-life” liars who try to disguise their hatred of woman by saying that they are protecting “the children.” Give me a break. Anyone looking at the overlap between “pro-life” and “pro-gun” can clearly see that they don’t give a fuck about “the […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday April 12 2023
Carney’s Communications Director got wigged out by a super obvious question. Delaware Governor Has ‘No Updates’ on Adult-Use Cannabis Bills, Which May Become Law Without His Signature Adult-use cannabis legislation received three-fifths majority support in the Delaware General Assembly March 28, but Democratic Gov. John Carney’s office has been tight-lipped on the issue since. Carney, […]
Jeebus Christ on a Krimpet, Senate Democrats Suck!
Between Chris Coons rushing through Trump’s judicial picks, and Dianne Feinstein holding up Biden’s I guess we get the federal judiciary we deserve. At what is clearly a critical time for confirming good federal judges, Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) increasingly prolonged absence from the Senate is apparently holding up the process for a number of President Joe Biden’s […]
Trump’s favorability rating collapses per ABC News/IPSOS polling
There is no way to deny it. Trump being brought to justice is a boon for Joe Biden. Trump’s legal woes have increased his popularity among GOP primary voters, but devastated his favorability among voters in general.
Leaker of damaging U.S. intelligence files was reportedly administrator of a Discord chat room
I’m not expert, but it seems like this person (these people?) were not terribly sophisticated. …Users of the social media site Discord say an administrator of a closed group chat room, or server, called “Thug Shaker Central” posted hundreds of classified documents during arguments over Russia’s Ukraine invasion. “…clues left online may help investigators […]

DL Open Thread Monday April 10 2023
i>This is sickening on many levels. One of those levels is knowing that Texas Gov Greg Abbott is Tucker Carlson’s prison bitch. Of course we now know that Carlson is only pretending to be the prison yard shot caller. In reality Carlson is the braying wingnut mob’s bitch. They’ve set up a self-justifying, internally re-enforcing rubegoldberg contraption of doom.
On this date in 1970 Paul McCartney officially announces the split of The Beatles. And on April 10th 1869 Congress increases number of Supreme Court judges from 7 to 9.
Poll Results – DL Readers and Lurkers REALLY want Trump to be the GOP’s nominee
It was a blow out. 57% in favor of Trump being the nominee. His loser credentials are undeniable. He is immensely unpopular. He is extremely polarizing. He is a transparent fraud. And his criminal past is (at long last) catching up with him. He makes the race entirely about his sore-loser, butthurt idiocy. He gives voters a stark choice between continuing as a democracy or not.
Of course Democrats want to run against Trump. PLEASE make it so, Republicans.
